BetGames (formerly BetGames.TV), the award-winning live dealer betting games supplier, has unveiled a rebrand of its visual identity and communications with its WOW campaign, in a bold statement of intent.

The company has ambitious plans for further developing “a tier-one personal experience” for players. This approach has already led to BetGames becoming one of the world’s leading developers of live dealer betting products, and now also forms the backbone for plans to take its games to greater heights in entertainment.Beginning with the WOW campaign, the rebrand is an indication of how BetGames will further scale its offering, taking players and partners on a journey that firmly places entertainment first, through new and unique first-to-market games.

A key part of the rebrand is the re-launch of the BetGames website (https://www.betgames.tv), which further reinforces the company’s focus on solutions that offer unrivalled opportunities for operator and retail growth.Having developed its Malta Hub to spearhead global operations alongside the company’s Vilnius HQ, the vision of BetGames CEO Andreas Köberl is to establish the company as a “true bridge between sports betting and live casino for tier-one operators worldwide.”

He continued: “We embrace complexity but master simplicity – and part of our ‘WOW’ factor is how we offer an incredible, personable gaming experience that is made simple and fun. That alone is transformative in our industry.

“There is simply no other company that can offer the games we do, and to such a wide range of markets for players. With our refreshed look, new marketing and sales assets and beautifully designed upcoming campaigns, we offer our partners something beyond comparison.

“The new logo, typography, communications and brand approach do more than offer broad appeal – it’s a strategy designed to impact at every turn. BetGames becomes a brand that delivers front-of-mind awareness with each promotion.”

Following a record-breaking 2020 for the studio, Aiste Garneviciene, COO at BetGames, added that the company is raring to go. “We’re coming up to our 10th anniversary, and it’s an incredibly proud moment for us.

“Looking back at what we’ve achieved, we see that through hard work and great partnerships, we became the world’s leading developer of live broadcast fixed-odds and outcome-based games.

“But as we planned the next 10 years of our journey, we realised that – with so many amazing new games in the pipeline – the time to refresh and best represent how we see ourselves was upon us.

“In short, we needed our company, our look and our communications to match our direction. This starts with our rebranding and our WOW campaign.”

BetGames is the industry’s most widely regulated live dealer betting games supplier, holding licences in multiplejurisdictions including the UK, as well as being compliant with the local regulatory requirements of Malta, Italy, Lithuania, Estonia, Bulgaria and various relevant South African gambling authorities.

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.

The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.

In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.

“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”

The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.

For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.

The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
