In short
Who is Helios?
Helios is a European regulatory intelligence technology company. It develops its own technology in-house, a proprietary discovery engine, machine learning and evidence tooling, and uses it to help gambling and media regulators discover the unlicensed operators and unapproved services targeting their jurisdictions, from publicly available information. Every finding is verified against the official register, confirmed by a human expert and recorded as tamper-evident evidence. Its discovery work underpins the 2026 Euromat study across 28 European markets.
What we believe
- A regulator should be able to name the operators reaching its market, not estimate them
- A finding is only worth recording if it can be shown, months later, exactly as it was seen
- Automation does the watching; people do the judging. A shared signal is evidence, not proof
- Publicly available information is enough, and it is the only kind we use
How we work
Helios is a small team of analysts and engineers, and it develops its own technology in-house: the discovery engine, the machine learning behind it and the evidence tooling, on one platform that serves both practices. Engagements are scoped per jurisdiction and per period, run across several independent public channels, and confirmed by a human expert before delivery. The same method, run across 28 European markets, produced the discovery behind the Euromat study of Europe's illegal online gambling market.
