BETBAZAR facilitates new partnership between Lynon and Turbo Games
BETBAZAR, the innovative provider of the world’s leading B2B marketplace for the iGaming industry, has announced it has brokered another successful collaboration following Lynon’s decision to purchase all Turbo Games titles from its platform.
As a result of the deal, Lynon has now directly integrated a thrilling selection of over 35 instant-win releases onto its core platform, empowering clients that use the company for their online casino needs to offer popular games such as the Aviator-themed Aero and Crash X to customers.
With these two titles as well as other sought-after releases like Mines, Plinko and Keno now all available via its platform, all Lynon clients will benefit from being able to provide a dynamic, provably fair and RNG-certified range of games that are perfect for engaging modern audiences.
From Turbo Games’ perspective, meanwhile, having the opportunity to see its titles hosted by a solutions provider with over 14 years of experience in the iGaming industry – as well as a long list of clients that operate in multiple regulated markets worldwide – will raise the profile of the brand and ensure its content reaches new audiences that will now be accessible via Lynon’s network.
Naturally, with the BETBAZAR team being on hand to take care of the logistics of the deal, all Turbo Games titles have already been integrated onto Lynon’s proprietary online casino platform and the partnership will also be backed up by dedicated customer support for the duration of the deal.
Gordon Shkuropat, Business Development Manager at BETBAZAR, said: “BETBAZAR is proud to have once again facilitated a deal that will see a variety of innovative and exciting titles integrated onto a leading online casino platform provider now that SoftLand has agreed to take on the full range of Turbo Games releases.
“With Turbo Games content offering fast, provably fair gaming rounds that are perfect for engaging with modern players, we believe the collaboration will be beneficial for everyone involved and the fact that all titles have already been integrated is testament to the efficiency of our marketplace.”
Suren Vardanyan, Chief Business Officer at Lynon, said: “As a company that prides itself on creating outstanding digital products for the iGaming industry, Lynon was very happy to discover Turbo Games via the BETBAZAR marketplace and we’re delighted at how smoothly the whole integration has gone. Turbo Games appeared to be a perfect fit for companies like ourselves. Thus, we believe the addition of these new and engaging, fast-paced titles will really help customers that use our proprietary casino platform connect with a more modern audience.”
Vadim Potapenko, Head of Sales at Turbo Games, said: “For an independent software provider like Turbo Games, it’s essential to connect with operators who are genuinely interested in our products, and being on BETBAZAR’s global B2B iGaming marketplace makes this incredibly straightforward.
Thanks to their advanced online hub that connects content providers with operators, we had the opportunity to showcase our games to SoftLand, and they were really impressed with what they saw. Now, with our full suite of games added to their library, Softland’s clients have more variety to choose from, and we can’t wait to see how players will enjoy our content.”

Bragg Gaming Group, a leading online gaming technology provider, has confirmed a major cybersecurity incident that compromised its internal IT infrastructure in the early hours of Saturday, August 16, 2025.
The company detected unauthorized intrusion attempts that successfully breached its internal network, triggering an immediate and comprehensive incident response.
Key Takeaways
-
Bragg Gaming Group experienced a cybersecurity breach involving access to internal IT systems.
-
No customer personal data or payment information appears to have been compromised.
-
The company has enacted full containment and investigation protocols.
Details of the Breach
According to a preliminary forensic analysis by Bragg’s internal security team, the attack was a targeted breach aimed at the company’s internal computer environment. While the exact method of intrusion is still under investigation, early indicators suggest a sophisticated exploit of internal network vulnerabilities.
Fortunately, the company’s customer-facing systems, including sensitive user data and financial information, appear to have been unaffected. Bragg’s existing encryption protocols and access control systems successfully prevented the attackers from accessing customer information.
Immediate Response Measures
In response to the breach, Bragg launched a multi-tiered containment strategy, including:
-
Network Segmentation to isolate affected systems
-
Enhanced Monitoring of data flows across its Remote Games Server (RGS) platform
-
Security Audits of critical infrastructure, including the Bragg Hub and PAM systems
-
Engagement of Independent Cybersecurity Experts to assist in incident analysis and system hardening
Bragg’s Security Operations Center has also elevated its alert level, initiating 24/7 monitoring across all server clusters and network endpoints. In addition, company-wide penetration testing is now underway to proactively identify any residual vulnerabilities.
Business Continuity Maintained
Despite the severity of the breach, Bragg reports that its operations remain unaffected. All gaming services, including iCasino and sportsbook offerings across regulated markets, continue to function without disruption.
“While this incident is deeply concerning, we are confident in the rapid and thorough response initiated by our team,” a company spokesperson stated. “We remain committed to protecting our infrastructure, our partners, and most importantly, our players.”
Looking Ahead
As part of its response, Bragg has also launched mandatory security awareness training for all employees to reinforce best practices and prevent future incidents.
Cybersecurity analysts will continue working with Bragg to determine the full scope of the attack, improve system resilience, and maintain the trust of its users and stakeholders.
Bragg’s handling of the incident highlights both the evolving nature of cybersecurity threats and the importance of robust, responsive defense systems in the digital gaming sector.

The Institute for Gambling Regulation in Slovakia (IPRHH) has published the country’s first comprehensive report dedicated to illegal gambling. The study, titled The Black Book of Illegal Gambling, was officially presented at Bratislava’s Einpark and is now publicly available online.
The landmark publication explores the structure, mechanisms, and social impact of illegal gambling operations in Slovakia, with a particular focus on unlicensed online platforms. According to the report, these operators bypass national regulations, exploit vulnerable groups, and deprive the state of hundreds of millions of euros annually in lost tax revenue.
Key Findings From the Report
The study is based on a nationally representative survey conducted by IPRHH in cooperation with the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Among the most striking results:
-
23.7% of players – nearly 296,000 Slovaks – admitted to gambling on unlicensed platforms.
-
24.1% of players could not determine whether the sites they used were legal.
-
Younger users and those with lower levels of education were the most likely to engage in illegal gambling.
-
13.1% of users admitted to gambling illegally because they were listed in the national Register of Excluded Persons (RVO), which should block them from licensed gambling.
“These sites ignore every safeguard that licensed operators must follow,” explained Dávid Lenčéš, Executive Director of IPRHH. “There are no limits, no identity checks, and no protection against addiction. And if you lose money, you have no legal recourse.”
Why Players Choose Illegal Platforms
Survey respondents highlighted several reasons for using unlicensed gambling sites:
-
Higher bonuses (32.5%)
-
Better odds (29.5%)
-
Easier registration (29.1%)
-
Wider game selection (27.4%)
Shockingly, only 42.2% of players actively check for a Slovak license, while 43.2% cannot distinguish between legal and illegal gambling advertisements.
Policy Recommendations
The IPRHH warns that illegal gambling costs Slovakia hundreds of millions of euros each year, money that could otherwise support healthcare, education, and addiction prevention programs.
The institute recommends a multi-pronged strategy to combat illegal operators, including:
-
More effective blocking of unlicensed websites
-
Stronger cooperation with banks and payment providers to block transactions
-
A national public awareness campaign
-
Stable conditions for licensed operators who contribute to the economy
Lenčéš also cautioned against excessive taxation of legal operators:
“If governments dramatically increase taxes on licensed operators, they risk pushing players further into the illegal market. Regulation should protect the public, not unintentionally support criminal ecosystems.”
About IPRHH
The Institute for Gambling Regulation (IPRHH) was founded in 2024 to promote effective, transparent, and responsible gambling regulation in Slovakia. Led by Executive Director Dávid Lenčéš, former Chairman of the Slovak Gambling Regulatory Authority, the organization works to address modern challenges such as digitalization, illegal gambling, and player protection.
