BLUE BELL, PA — REGO Payment Architectures Inc. (OTCQB: RPMT) has launched a software licensing initiative targeting the $121.1 billion global mobile gaming market, seeking to generate revenue by providing technology companies with child-safety, parental authorization and artificial intelligence-based monitoring capabilities.
The Blue Bell-based company introduced REGO Guardian Global Solution, a software-as-a-service platform designed to integrate with existing digital services through application programming interfaces, or APIs.
The licensing model would allow gaming operators to incorporate age verification, parental permissions and online threat detection without developing those systems independently.
REGO is initially targeting mobile gaming, which is projected to generate $121.1 billion in worldwide revenue in 2026, according to Newzoo’s Global Games Market Report. The broader gaming industry is forecast to reach $213.9 billion.
Those figures represent the size of the industries REGO intends to serve, rather than projected revenue for its licensing business.
The company also plans to pursue licensing opportunities in social media, healthcare, education technology, government services, mobile applications and artificial intelligence.
REGO Guardian combines three functions: verification of parental authority, management of parental permissions and AI-assisted identification of potentially harmful online behavior.
Its authorization system is designed to allow parents to approve, restrict or revoke children’s access to participating platforms. The technology also supports permissions that can be used across integrated services.
REGO says its age-assurance technology does not require children to submit facial scans, fingerprints or other biometric identifiers.
“REGO Guardian represents our SaaS integrated solution designed to protect children, empower parents, and give technology companies the API they have been asking for to innovate responsibly,” said Peter Pelullo, REGO’s chief executive officer.
The initiative comes amid heightened scrutiny of online child safety and the growing use of artificial intelligence in digital communications.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children received more than 1.4 million CyberTipline reports involving online enticement in 2025, according to figures cited by REGO, an increase of 158% from 2024.
More than 80,000 reports concerned sextortion, while over 182,000 involved generative AI-related child sexual abuse material.
The increase in online enticement reports also reflects expanded reporting requirements under the federal REPORT Act, making the year-over-year figures an imperfect measure of changes in underlying criminal activity.
Lisa Strohman, REGO Guardian’s head of product, said the platform is intended to recognize emerging threats while maintaining parental control over children’s digital access.
“REGO Guardian is designed to verify parental authority, recognize emerging threats, and provide meaningful safeguards while preserving children’s privacy,” Strohman said.
REGO’s commercial strategy centers on licensing the technology to platform operators rather than requiring consumers to adopt a separate child-safety application.
The initiative positions the company to compete for technology spending associated with age assurance, parental consent and online safety compliance as digital platforms confront increasingly complex requirements for protecting minors.
