Under the terms of the new deal, announced Tuesday, SBG will benefit from the provider’s globally-recognized live casino services. The new collaboration, labeled as a “landmark deal,” will see SBG’s Betfair and Paddy Power brands benefit from live casino options from Evolution.
Moreover, per the new collaboration, SBG’s brands Sky Bet, Sky Bingo and Sky Vegas will also benefit from Evolution’s leading live casino content. This partnership further extends Sky’s offering which is preparing to launch online slots content from NetEnt.
On the other hand, the Flutter-owned brand is already offering online casino slots games from the leading developer Red Tiger. In other words, the latest deal, in a way, extends an existing collaboration between SBG and Evolution, considering that both NetEnt and Red Tiger are sister brands of the global B2B solutions and content provider.
“We are honored to partner with yet another Flutter company, and one with such an impressive line-up of household name gaming brands.“
Gionata La Torre, CEO Europe at Evolution
Evolution’s CEO of Europe, Gionata La Torre, explained that the company is excited to join forces with another Flutter-owned organization. He explained that SBG has a growing number of popular and trusted brands and acknowledged that the brand brings unique online casino and sports betting experiences to millions of UK players. Finally, La Torre said: “We are very much looking forward to adding to those player experiences with our world-leading live casino.”
“We recognize the strong performance of Evolution’s live casino portfolio and also the sheer breadth and variety of content, which is growing all the time.“
Andrew Rushgrove, gaming MD at Sky Betting & Gaming
Andrew Rushgrove, Sky Betting & Gaming’s gaming MD, acknowledged that Evolution’s leading live casino products are popular and the interest in them continues to grow. Focusing on the Sky Vegas brand, he said that it has solidified its leadership position within the iGaming market in the UK. Additionally, he predicted further growth given the unique opportunities created by live casino content. In conclusion, Rushgrove said that SBG is excited to deliver live casino content to its customers from Evolution, a leading developer within the vertical.
The deal marks another significant milestone in the Swedish-based company’s expansion efforts. Gaming Corps is confident that a diverse selection of titles will appeal to new audiences and help GOAT Interactive maintain its leading market position. The operator was likewise enthusiastic regarding the new partnership, hoping to build a long-term mutually beneficial relationship.
The Developer Brings a Rich and Modern Portfolio
Gaming Corps’ content will initially be available via GOAT Interactive-owned B2C brand Premier Bet. The operator maintains a substantial presence in over a dozen African countries like Ghana, Angola, Cameroon, Tanzania, and Senegal and soon plans to expand to Togo. Faced with diverse cultures and tastes, Gaming Corps must ensure its content speaks to as broad an audience as possible.
Luckily for the game developer, its expansive and engaging portfolio is more than up for the task. The deal with GOAT Interactive primarily focuses on the developer’s Crash and Mine content, but a broader range of titles will also be available. The studio’s top games, like Jet Lucky 2 and Penalty Champion, are bound to leave an impression on the new audience, but the rest of the roster should also make an impression.
Gaming Corps’ portfolio already has a proven track record of success, so the transition to a new market should be relatively seamless. A solid selection of lightweight arcade titles features premium gameplay and appealing visuals, while branded versions of the football Mine game will optimize local appeal.
The Deal Will Aid Both Companies’ Expansion Efforts
The new partnership should substantially benefit both parties. Owing to its rapidly growing presence in the African market, GOAT Interactive needs to keep its current user base engaged while reaching out to new audiences. Director of casino at GOAT Interactive Karen Hope lauded Gaming Corps for their exciting and modern titles and expressed a desire to strengthen their newly formed partnership.
We see this studio as an exciting long-term strategic partner as we build loyalty on a hyper-local level across our product offering, numerous markets, and audiences.
Karen Hope, GOAT Interactive director of casino
Gaming Corps likewise gains access to a brand new region and the opportunity to cement its position as one of the leading iGaming developers. Gaming Corps head of commercial Danielle Calafato was optimistic that the company’s developing market-minded portfolio would resonate with new audiences and match all their requirements.
We… look forward to customizing our content in order to give Premier Bet’s players the localized experience that is so unique to our offering.
Danielle Calafato, Gaming Corps head of commercial
The deal with GOAT Interactive is the developer’s second high-profile achievement in 2023. In January, the company successfully launched in Belgium thanks to a partnership with local iGaming brand Napoleon. Gaming Corps intends to maintain this significant momentum and plans further expansion in Greece and the Netherlands, so the company will likely continue to make headlines.
Esports wagering solutions supplier Oddin.gg announced it has signed a new strategic partnership with platform supplier NSoft to further extend its footprint in the esports industry.
‘Reach New Heights of Success’
The new B2B partnership is set to combine Oddin’s expertise in providing esports betting solutions with NSoft’s extensive knowledge of the esports market and bring benefits to existing betting operator customers and future brand partners.
Marek Suchar, managing director and co-founder of Oddin.gg, highlighted NSoft’s credentials as “a well-known platform and content supplier,” confident that the partnership would help Oddin to “reach new heights of success” and bring its services to a wider audience.
“We share the same vision of innovation, expansion, and product quality, and we’re looking forward to a solid partnership,” Suchar concluded.
The new agreement will allow NSoft’s business clients access to the esports betting experience provided only by titles such as CS:GO, DOTA2, Valorant, and others, offering their players an immersive and engaging experience while Oddin provides them with a comprehensive range of solutions, including iFrame, widgets, 24/7 content, and marketing services to maximize their profits.
Teaming Only with the Best
An esports enthusiast himself, Dario Jurcic, chief executive officer of NSoft, commented on the importance of the ecosystem in the esports industry, adamant that NSoft is always on the lookout for the best esports providers for its client portfolio.
“All this led us to the partnership with Oddin.gg,” Jurcic said, looking forward to bringing Oddin’s “exciting esports content” to NSoft players and “seeing how the future will shape esports in general and especially” in the esports betting industry.
The addition of Oddin’s ecosystem to NSoft’s comprehensive product suite comprising an omnichannel, turnkey betting solution, virtual draw-based games, lotteries, virtual sports betting, and casino content is expected to boost NSoft’s product offering at its core markets and cement its position as a leading platform provider.
NSoft joined a prominent group of Oddin.gg’s partners, including Betway, Yolo Group, LOOT.BET, Aspire Global, Altenar Softswiss, and other sportsbooks and platform providers worldwide benefiting from Oddin’s solutions that combine machine learning algorithms with advanced data science.
Last month, Oddin.gg entered the esports market in the Balkans via an agreement with MaxBet by providing its iFrame solution to the online casino and betting operator active in Montenegro, Serbia and Republika Srpska, one of the two entities comprising Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Earlier this month, Oddin.gg signed an agreement with QTech Games to provide its full product portfolio to the gaming distributor active in Asia.
Online betting and gaming brand betPARX announced its partnership with the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday and The PGA TOUR has launched mobile sports betting in Ohio.
‘Fast, Easy and Fun Experience’
The launch of betPARX in Ohio brings the betPARX’s mobile betting experience to the passionate sports fans in the state and marked the latest entry into the state that officially launched its market on January 1, 2023.
Thrilled to announce the mobile sports betting debut of the brand he works for, Matthew Cullen, senior vice president of Sports at betPARX, hailed the brand as “one of the leaders in mobile betting and iGaming in North America” and its “superb technology, products and best … marketing promotions.”
“We are excited to partner with the PGA TOUR and the Memorial Tournament to offer a fast, easy and fun experience for sports fans,” Cullen added.
betPARX partnered with The PGA TOUR last spring after legislators in the Buckeye State had passed the bill to legalize sports betting. Following the agreement, betPARX became an official betting partner of the professional golf series.
“We are thrilled to align with betPARX and to provide sports fans throughout the State of Ohio the opportunity to download the betPARX app and start placing bets on all sports,” said Dan Sullivan, executive director of the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday, adamant that the betPARX app will bring an extra impetus to Memorial fans and patrons during the week of May 29.
Branded Fan Experiences
Hosted annually at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, the Memorial Tournament this May will have betPARX as its exclusive mobile sports betting sponsor for the second year in a row, and the operator is planning to offer branded fan experiences throughout the week of one of the leading tournaments on The PGA TOUR since its inception back in 1976.
The launch in Ohio will enable sports fans in the state to place wagers on golf, professional and college football, basketball, baseball, hockey, MMA, tennis, and soccer in a safe and secure betting environment and with a variety of betting and payment options.
To celebrate its entry into the state, betPARX is offering a special promotion for new bettors who place a minimum of $10 sports bet – if the bet wins, betPARX will give them $125 in sports bonuses. For all new users, there will also be an automatic entry into a drawing where one user every week will be awarded a $25 sports bonus.
Betty, a new iGaming startup sitting at the intersection of online casino and casual mobile gaming, announced its latest seed round led by Karlani Capital has raised $5 million, attracting interest from a number of investment funds.
Online Slot Players in the Focus
The new funding round for the American-Bulgarian real-money entertainment startup saw interest from other investors, including CEAS Investments, Courtside Ventures, Gaingels, OCA Venture, Subversive Capital and 305 Ventures.
The new seed round is the second funding round for the startup that is headquartered in New York and has an R&D office in Bulgaria, following its pre-seed funding in March 2022 which raised $1.8 million.
Gaingels, a private investment syndicate that participated in Betty’s seed round commented that, while historically sports betting and casinos had been marketed to men, more than half of these markets are made by women, and they admire “Betty’s mission to make the category more inclusive.”
Founded in 2022 by Vlad Pavlov, Chavdar Dimitrov, Jordan Tuch, Annie Zeng, and Justin Park, Betty has identified a large audience of casual iCasino customers – women playing slots – who remain underserved by existing online casino brands which in their core functions operate as sportsbooks.
Leveraging its founders’ collective experience of over 50 years in iCasino technology, Betty seeks to maximize the entertainment value of this underserved market group by offering them an entertaining gaming experience that is safe, social and inclusive.
Ontario Launch and Platform Development
The proceeds of the funding round will be used to speed up Betty’s launch in the Canadian province of Ontario where it was issued a gaming license by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission (AGCO) in January and is anticipating soft launching operations this month. Betty’s full-scale go-to-market in Ontario is expected to take place in the second business quarter of 2023.
Money raised from the seed round will also go towards the continued development of the company’s proprietary online casino platform and its specifications tailor-made for markets in North America.
The team of Betty’s founders was behind the creation of QL Gaming Group, a direct-to-consumer sports data and iGaming affiliate platform headquartered in New York that was acquired by Audacy, a free broadcast and radio platform.
One of the best features of No-Limit Hold’em is that you are free to play any style that takes your fancy. You can play as tight or loose, passive or aggressive as you wish; it is up to you to make your playing style profitable. Elite-level players such as Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey made the loose-aggressive (LAG) style their own, entertaining spectators and bamboozling opponents in equal measure. The LAG style is difficult to implement but exciting to play in addition to being potentially very lucrative, which is why the good folks at the WPT Global Blog have penned an article giving tips for wannabe LAGs.
First of all, you need to understand what a LAG style entails. LAGs have more relaxed starting hand requirements, meaning they play a wider range of hands and they play them aggressively, coming in for a raise and three-betting more frequently.
Where players with the skills of the aforementioned Dwan and Ivey can play any two cards, the WPT Global Blog suggests not getting too crazy when you first attempt playing LAG.
“When it comes to the start ranges of a good loose-aggressive player, they’ll play somewhere between 10-20% looser than a good tight-aggressive player. If a TAG player has a VPIP/PFR of 20/16, a good loose-aggressive player will be around 35/30, which is a significant increase.”
Changing to a LAG style isn’t just adding a bunch more cards to your range but carefully selecting the correct hands. For example, according to the WPT Global Blog, “you want to use hands that are suited and/or connected, or have decent high-card value.” The WPT Global Blog suggests a hand such as five-three suited is better than queen-five offsuit. As a general rule, pretend you are seated one position later when you are considering opening the pot. If you are in the under-the-gun (UTG) seat, open hands you would in the UTG+1 seat, and so on.

When to Play a LAG Style and When Not To
The best style of poker to play is usually the opposite of what your opponents are doing, leading to the LAG style being best when faced with a table full of TAGs or tight-passive players. Why? Because these players will fold more frequently.
“You’re going to win way more than your fair share of pots as they’re going to fold far too often. You’ll find that your showdown winnings won’t be great, but you’ll be winning so many pots without a showdown that it won’t matter,” the WPT Global Blog said.
You should only employ a LAG style against players that fold too much, those players that seem to always see monsters under the bed. Opening with such a wide range of hands means that you are unlikely to have the best hand most of the time, so you’ll make most of your money or accumulate more chips when your opponent gives up the ghost and folds.
The WPT Global Blog suggests switching from a LAG to a more TAG approach if you find yourself on a table of loose-passive players, which are common in low-stakes live cash games. This is because these players never fold if they have a piece of the board; they’re not called calling stations for nothing!
“Low-stakes live games are great examples of this. They’re filled with players who don’t like to fold and will happily go to showdown with top pair no matter how the board runs out. There are plenty of players who have gone broke trying to bluff the recreational players at $1/$2. For those at the back – THEY’RE NOT GOING TO FOLD! Save your money and play a tight-aggressive strategy instead; it will be a lot more profitable in the long run.
WPT Global Made LoriAnn Persinger’s Dreams Come True
How Do You Combat LAG Opponents?
Coming up against a talented LAG opponent is not the most ideal scenario, not least because they will put you in some difficult spots where you are continually second-guessing whether they have a solid hand or they simply have their hands in the cookie jar yet again. Good LAG players will make large bets on scary boards, forcing you to call with weaker hands than you would like.
“If you come across a player who is playing a loose-aggressive strategy, the best counter you can have for them is to call down more often when you have showdown value. Even a good loose-aggressive player is going to have trouble balancing their bluffs and their value bets due to the increase in hands they’re playing preflop. This means that when they bet, they’re far more likely to be over-bluffing, which means that the best exploit is to call more often.

The event will also introduce Pala Casino as National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing’s (NASCAR) Title Sponsor for the Cup Series race called The Pala Casino 400, according to Pala Casino’s chief executive officer Fred Buro. The February 26 race that will take place in Fontana, California will be the second race part of the NASCAR Cup Series regular season, representing the follow-up to the DAYTONA 500.
It’s All About the Action
Buro also spoke about the “action” element that both racing and casinos have in common. While Pala Casino features spinning reels and NASCAR features spinning wheels, both of them are known to spin fast and trigger engaging experiences for participants and players, ultimately creating winners.
Buro also explained that the Pala Casino crew and the Pala Band of Mission Indians were “very proud” to be able to sponsor the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series race. He added that they were also looking forward to their lucrative partnership for the upcoming years.
NASCAR is the sanctioning organization for the top form of motorsports in the US. It owns 16 of the country’s greatest motorsports entertainment facilities and features three national series: NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. NASCAR also consists of four regional series, three international series, and a local grassroots series.
Chris Buescher’s No. 17 RFK Ford Will Carry Pala’s Colors
Chris Buescher’s No. 17 RFK Ford has also been chosen to carry the Pala Casino colors once the green flag will be seen waving to announce the start of the race.
RFK Racing marked three and a half decades of seasonal competitions last year. The racing features an impressive lineup of iconic ownerships including the owner of the Fenway Sports Group John Henry and NASCAR Champion Brad Keselowski.
According to Auto Club Speedway’s president Dave Allen, their fans are expected to rapidly perceive the enthusiasm that Pala Casino will bring along. Allen also called the new partnership between NASCAR, The Auto Club Speedway, Pala Casino, and RFK Racing a “winning combination.”
Auto Club Speedway is located 50 miles east of Los Angeles and it represents California’s premier facility for motorsports. Each year, the club organizes more than 320 days of track activity. Among the most resounding events is, of course, the NASCAR Cup Series weekend.
The Club also hosts a variety of movie, TV, and commercial productions, club racing, racing schools, new car testing, and photo shoots.
The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race was held on November 6 at the Phoenix Raceway located in Arizona.
Bonnie and I took a trip to Reno and played at the ROW, the threesome of connected casinos (Eldorado, Silver Legacy, and Circus Circus) that are now part of the Caesars system. I’d played there previously but this was Bonnie’s first trip.
When we swiped our cards at the kiosk at the start of our visit, we discovered that we each received 20,000 bonus drawing tickets for a drawing coming up in several weeks, and a 20x ticket multiplier for all of our play that day. Every day we were there, we got another 20x multiplier. When we departed Reno, we each had several hundred thousand drawing tickets. I’ve never had so many drawing tickets in my life!
Turns out we got so many bonus tickets and such large multipliers because we are Seven Stars members. Diamond members get 15x multipliers and 15,000 tickets. Platinum members get 10x and 10,000 tickets. And Gold members get 5x and 1,000 tickets.
Generally speaking, I only show up at drawings where I have a good chance to win. Lots of tickets generally mean a good chance. And now we both have a lot of tickets. Actually, what I just said isn’t exactly true. It’s not just the chance to win. It’s also the size of the win. A really, really good chance to win $50 wouldn’t be worth getting on an airplane to go and try to win. A moderately good chance to win $100,000 just might be.
So, do we go back for the drawing?
Most likely not.
If all players who show up get so many free tickets and there are such big multipliers every day, everybody will have a lot of tickets. If we have 500,000 tickets out of several billion in the virtual drum, that’s really no different percentagewise than having 500 tickets out of several million. If the second situation isn’t a “must attend” event (which it isn’t), the first one isn’t either.
To be sure, our Seven Stars status earns us tickets at a more rapid rate than lower-tier players get. But not that much more. It’s true that you only need one ticket in the drum to win, but the odds favor the players with lots of tickets. As a general rule for me, if everybody is getting free tickets, I’m not interested. No matter how much I play, if tens of thousands of players receive free tickets, I can never earn enough to have an excellent chance of winning.
There are players who will attend as many drawings as possible, no matter how many entries they have. Not me. It takes time and energy to attend drawings. Since Reno is hundreds of miles away from where we live in Las Vegas, it’s easy to see it’s not free for us to get to that drawing. But even for drawings in Las Vegas, it’s time-consuming to attend the drawings. And you can only be in one place at a time.
Turns out this drawing in Reno is a three-night affair. On Thursday, 20 players get $500 each. Since they say the number of players winning is guaranteed, I guess that means if not all 20 prizes are claimed within a certain time limit, they’ll keep drawing until they are. Friday night another 20 players get $500 each. Saturday night, 60 players win $500, and one of those 60 wins a $50,000 Mercedes Benz in addition to their $500. (I might be misstating the rules. I don’t have the exact rules in front of me. Still, this blog is about the thought process involved in deciding whether to attend a drawing rather than this particular drawing.)
Bonnie told me we didn’t need a new car, which is true, but I tried to explain that this wouldn’t be a problem. The odds of winning the car are very small, and even if we do, they usually have a cash option instead of forcing you to take the car. And even if they don’t have that option written into the rules, it’s not that difficult to sell a car. It’s better to win a $50,000 car than to not win a $50,000 car.
Bottom line for us is that while these drawings create a small amount of equity, in and of themselves, they wouldn’t be valuable enough to make a special trip. If there were other significant reasons to spend three days in Reno over that time period (which there might be, depending . . .), then yes, we’ll have enough equity to be present when the drawings take place.
