Entain Examines Possible Sale of Overseas Gambling Brands

Entain has hired advisers to oversee the possible sale of several of its overseas brands, according to reports.

These brands include Netherlands-based BetCity, which the gambling firm had bought last year.

The Netherlands, last year proposed a plan for tighter deposit limits from the second quarter, which is expected to hit Entain’s annual revenue and profit, the company said earlier this month.

A local offshoot of Ladbrokes in Australia, Sweden-based Enlabs and Georgia-based CrystalBet are other brands that are not integrated into Entain’s main tech platform and under review, reports said.

Wall Street boutique advisory Moelis is advising Entain’s board and the group’s recently formed capital allocation committee, and any disposals will be of brands that are not integrated into the company’s technology platform, which makes them easier to sell.

Entain, like other gambling firms, gained from a rise in online betting during the pandemic, but stiffer regulations in its main markets have hurt its bottom line.

The UK, the gambling firm’s largest market, is expected to put out a review this year, which is said to include a stake cap on slots at 5 pounds ($6.37) and increased affordability checks.

Entain expects its core profit to incur a 40 million pounds hit in 2024 from the regulatory moves in the UK and Netherlands.

In a pitch lasting three minutes followed by a three-minute Q&A, Davarshvili wooed the panel of judges, consisting of Adam Rosenberg, senior adviser, gaming & leisure, Blackstone; Meir Shachar, gaming advisor and CEO at Digicode and RUNWAI, respectively; igaming adviser and gaming industry expert Paris Smith; Maxime Sbeghen, head of investment at FDJ United Ventures; and Jeff Millar, managing partner at JJK Partners.

Davarshvili emphasised how “innovative, customisable and easy to use” Promofy’s gamification engine was, highlighting its AI flow and ability to rapidly build gamified campaigns.

He described 2025 as having been a “foundational year”, outlining how the company had achieved $800,000 in revenue, had more than 20 customers and was now looking to raise $2m to support Promofy’s further growth.

Other pitch participants included eyeDP, an AI-powered solution to help operators process and analyse unstructured data and documents; Whizdom AI, designed to personalise game recommendations for players; Swiss Shufflers with its patented card-shuffling deck; and fantasy sports platform Loserball which “makes losing as cool as winning”.

Flows to Launch New In-session Gamification Product FlashWins

Flows has unveiled FlashWins, a standalone gamification solution delivered via the FlowsPlay layer. As the industry’s premier no-code automation platform, Flows continues to streamline orchestration for operators, making FlashWins a powerful follow-up to the successful FlowsJackpots release.

FlashWins is an in-session instant-win experience designed to turn live play into moments of anticipation, excitement, and reward. Triggered by real-time player activity, FlashWins introduces a live prize ticker and countdown directly into gameplay, ensuring the next win opportunity is always visible and momentum never drops.

Built for speed and flexibility, FlashWins allows operators to configure instant-win mechanics, timing, and triggers without touching core game logic. Each win is delivered through bold, themed animations that can be fully customised and branded, ensuring the experience feels native to the casino product rather than an overlay or bolt-on.

FlashWins is a standalone product built on top of the Flows platform using FlowsPlay, Flows’ rapid-build product layer. It showcases how quickly new commercial products can be created, launched and iterated using Flows’ underlying automation engine, without impacting the core platform.

James King, CEO of Flows, said: “FlashWins is a great example of what becomes possible when you separate the engine from the experience. Using FlowsPlay, we were able to design, build, and launch a completely new instant-win product in a fraction of the time this would traditionally take and our clients can do the same.

“What excites me most is how quickly operators can now move from an idea to a live, branded product. FlashWins shows how easy it is to create high-impact gamification layers on top of Flows, test them in the wild, and evolve them fast all without touching the core platform.”
