GAN has enhanced its platform offering to social casino operators across North America by inking a deal with Stakelogic.
Through the partnership, GAN has agreed to distribute Stakelogic’s in-house igaming content to the social casino brands it works with in the US, as well as the studio’s live casino products.
The deal sees Stakelogic tap into the rapidly expanding social casino sector, while marking a ‘major advancement’ for the space by combining social casino with live dealer gaming.
Stephan van den Oetelaar, CEO at Stakelogic, commented: “We’re thrilled to join forces with GAN to bring our slot and live casino products to the US social casino market. This partnership allows us to swiftly roll out our content across the country, delivering a unique gaming experience tailored for American players.
“We believe branded, custom-made content will become the industry standard in the coming years. In the months ahead, we will work closely with GAN and its social casino operators to develop a truly bespoke offering that sets a new benchmark for player engagement and entertainment.”
As a part of Stakelogic’s content offering, GAN’s partnered social casino brands will gain access to live dealer titles, such as roulette and blackjack, alongside game shows like Super Stake Roulette 5,000X and Super Wheel – The Live Game Show.
Additionally, brands working with GAN will benefit from custom-branded slots and live products designed specifically for their platforms.
Guiseppe Gardali, President B2B at GAN, added:“With our partnership with Stakelogic, GAN is elevating social casino entertainment to a whole new level. Stakelogic’s hybrid slots, which blend traditional slots with live casino elements, are truly groundbreaking for the industry.
“Live casino is still an emerging concept in the US, and thanks to Stakelogic, we’re able to lead the way in delivering the most innovative and high-quality gaming experiences available today.”
EveryMatrix has announced a deal with Norsk Tipping to provide a range of in-house and aggregated content and bespoke casual game development.
The company has shared that the deal spans two main business areas. The first will see aggregation platform SlotMatrix provide Norsk Tipping and its players with a range of third-party online casino content.
The deal has been noted as the largest in SlotMatrix’s history. It will also provide new and existing in-house titles from company-owned studios.
This marks an extension of a long-running partnership between Norsk Tipping and EveryMatrix. The companies first signed an agreement in 2016, and EveryMatrix’s CasinoEngine platform has powered the Norsk Tipping casino offering since.
Ebbe Groes, CEO and Co-Founder of EveryMatrix commented, “I’m delighted Norsk Tipping, one of our most valued partners, has chosen to continue to put their trust in us after almost 10 years of collaboration, and we look forward to even more years working together.”
In addition to utilizing SlotMatrix, Norsk Tipping will also use EveryMatrix Games to push third-party content for its ‘Yezz’ vertical. Yezz provides what’s described as a ‘range of entertaining, mobile-first casual games that appeal to next-generation players.’ The release also notes that Yezz players typically have longer session times.
Lars Martin Ottesen, Casino Product Manager at Norsk Tipping, said, “We are glad to extend our partnership with EveryMatrix to be able to source casino content that matches our ambitions for years to come. We are confident that EveryMatrix’s expertise will provide great value for Norsk Tipping and support us in our overall content strategy.”
“We look forward to developing the Yezz category further with EveryMatrix as an aggregator of high-quality games that are entertaining and with longer duration,” added Svein-Erik Sæther, Product Manager for Yezz at Norsk Tipping.
In October 2024, Norsk Tipping was fined NOK 4.5 million by the Norwegian Gambling and Foundation Authority Lotteritilsynet for an error in which a player was paid NOK 25 million in error.
The error resulted from an overpayment on Tipping’s KongKasino, which was meant to have a maximum prize of NOK 100,000 and a jackpot of NOK 5 million. The state-run operator did not discover the error until the player notified Norsk Tipping of the mistake.
The regulator acknowledged the potential danger to the individual should it have been paid out to a user who was at risk or experiencing harm from gambling. It commented, “Norsk Tipping did not have good enough security measures linked to prize payouts at KongKasino when the error occurred, and this is a serious system failure.
It continued, “They have subsequently introduced measures, and we have included that in the assessment of the fee.”
