GrooveGaming scores a goal with Goalbet
The Rapidly-growing aggregator GrooveGaming has scored a hattrick by signing a comprehensive content supply deal with Goalbet that involves all of Groovegaming’s portfolio. The deal sees GrooveGaming’s diverse portfolio being added to Goalbet’s stable of brands.
Created with the aim of easy and fast content delivery for the igaming industry, GrooveGaming has frequently hit the headlines over the past couple of years as the aggregator of choice for a host of big industry names including EveryMatrix, iGP, Digitain, ALEA and Quickfire, amongst others.
GrooveGaming’s powerful platform includes over 2500 casino games as well as a wealth of aggregated content ranging from slots, online casino and live casino, to poker and table games, that operators can access via easy integration to drive player engagement and revenue.
A major reason why GrooveGaming is becoming the aggregator of choice around the world is that GrooveGaming is powered by technology innovation which provides operators with the ability to activate a range of features that enhance customer experience and engagement, improve retention, encourage extended play and produce a higher yield.
GrooveGaming has significantly grown its presence throughout the last two years across key global markets and important regulated jurisdictions through partnerships with major online gambling operators. This latest signing with Goalbet highlights the attractiveness of GrooveGaming’s portfolio with operators and players alike.
Goalbet is an established Austrian company that provides sportsbetting and casino services. As one of Europe’s preferred sports betting partners with an emphasis on football, Goalbet also operates a number of casino brands including goalbetint.com, goalbet.gr and baysansli, amongst others. At the first Greek Bookmaker Awards 2020 held in Athens, celebrating the best Greek iGaming operators, Goalbet won the Best Customer Service award.
Stefanos Misofis, Director at Goalbet said: “This deal with GrooveGaming greatly enhances our offering and we are very excited about our partnership, their portfolio of content and technology tools are a real hit with our team and will significantly enhance how we engage with the market and with players. We look forward to getting into the Groove!”
Rebecca Sotomora, Head of Sales at GrooveGaming said: “We are thrilled that all our content and technology tools are being deployed by the Goalbet brands. Word is getting out to the market that the GrooveGaming offering is a scaling tool that helps attract business and boost revenue. We like to choose our partners wisely, so this partnership with Goalbet was an obvious choice for us as we continue to expand our business.”

Evoplay rolls out Season of Legends campaign with €512,000 spring prize pool
Evoplay has launched Season of Legends, a year-long network campaign built around four seasonal phases, starting with a spring edition carrying a €512,000 prize pool. The spring phase launched in March and runs across March, April and May.
The studio said the new format follows its previous Big Adventures network campaign and is designed to drive sustained engagement through a more structured seasonal approach. Each season runs for three months with new mechanics and prize pools.
A new mechanic, Infinity Prize Drops, will run daily throughout each month and is not tied to tournament windows. The spring edition also includes a Tournament and Wheel of Fortune, each operating in four monthly phases: 1st- 5th, 9th- 13th, 17th- 21st, and 25th- 29th.
Evoplay said the €512,000 spring prize pool will be distributed across the three-month period via a consolidated leaderboard spanning participating operators. Players earn points through qualifying spins on selected Evoplay titles including Hot Triple Sevens, Piggy Bank: 3 Pots Bonanza, and the Penalty Shoot-out series.
Diana Larina, Head of Marketing at Evoplay, said: “Season of Legends marks the next evolution of our network campaigns. With Big Adventures, we saw just how effective long-term engagement can be, and this new format takes that even further.
“By introducing seasonal structure and mechanics like Infinity Drops, we’re giving operators the tools to maintain consistent player activity, rather than relying on short-term spikes. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to build momentum throughout the year.”
