New titles added to Antstream Arcade include R-Type, Lode Runner, Spelunker, Kung-Fu Master and 10-yard Fight.

Leading Retro Arcade gaming platform Antstream Arcade has today announced a deal with video game publisher Irem, which will see dozens of iconic hits from the arcade era added to Antstream’s already world leading library of games.

Arcade hits originally produced by Tozai Games’ Co-founder and current Executive Producer Scott Tsumura, including legendary American football game 10-yard Fight, platformers like Lode Runner and Spelunker and beat ’em up Kung-Fu Master will be added to the Arcade gaming platform in the coming months. They join Antstream Arcade’s library of over 1300  free-to-play iconic games alongside Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Start Wars and Mortal Kombat.

Players will be able to enjoy Irem classics in new ways, with daily challenges, tournaments, and Antstream’s new “Giant Slayer” feature – where players can challenge the global Antstream community of players to beat their high score in a game of their choice. These features bring the joy of the Arcade to the modern casual gaming audience.

This deal follows Antstream Arcade’s recent partnership with D4 Enterprise to secure exclusive licensing rights to a sizable suite of retro MSX games, further cementing Antstream’s position as the definitive home of casual and retro gaming.

On the partnership, Steve Cottam, CEO of Antstream said: “Irem has an important place in gaming as a developer of stand-out retro games and hardware, not just in Japan but internationally. The inclusion of over 20 Irem titles on the Antstream Arcade platform is an important addition to what is already the world’s largest library of fully playable video games, and brings us one step closer to our goal of preserving these pieces of gaming history in a way that is accessible. We’re excited to work with Irem Software Engineering to bring these games to fans both old and new around the world.”

“I’m very excited to see the titles I produced at Irem so long ago on the Antstream Platform”, said Scott Tsumura, co-founder and Executive Producer at Tozai Games.  “I’m very happy to know new generations of gamers will have a chance to experience these originals”, added Tsumura.

Antstream Arcade boasts the largest library of games on any cloud gaming service, with over 1100 titles available. Thanks to the streaming service offered by Antstream’s cloud gaming platform, gamers can play as much as they want without downloads or needing to pay due to Antstream’s freemium tier of membership. An ad-free premium tier is available from £7.99 per month.

Gamblers Connect names Gali Hartuv as seventh 2026 Contributors Program voice

The Playa strategic advisor will publish on VIP operations, segmentation and retention, starting with an anonymous VIP Operations Survey 2026.

Gamblers Connect has confirmed Gali Hartuv, Strategic Advisor at The Playa, as the seventh voice to join its 2026 Contributors Program.

The independent B2B iGaming media platform said the programme will reveal one senior industry voice per month throughout 2026, with contributors publishing under the Gamblers Connect Contributor Editorial Code.

Gamblers Connect said Hartuv has more than 15 years’ experience in VIP management, including designing and optimising VIP programmes across more than 50 operator brands, and training “hundreds of professionals” now working in VIP roles across the industry.

Hartuv will publish across four areas: building VIP programmes that drive long-term value; AI-powered VIP identification and player segmentation; hyper-personalisation and retention strategy; and scaling VIP operations across different markets and cultures. His first contribution is a VIP Operations Survey 2026, an anonymous survey intended to benchmark how VIP teams work across iGaming operators, including portfolio sizing, tools, qualification thresholds, workflow standards and where time is spent during the week.

Partnerships and Operations Lead, Luka Dimitrijevic, said: “VIP management is where a great deal of an operator’s value is won or lost, and very few people can speak to it with Gali’s depth. He has spent his career turning high value player relationships into a discipline rather than guesswork, and he is refreshingly candid about what works and what does not. Through the Contributors Program he will share practical insight on VIP strategy, retention, and the smart use of AI, with content grounded in real results rather than recycled best practices.”

St8 has extended its partnership with TonyBet into Alberta, expanding their Canada footprint following an earlier launch in Ontario this year.

Under the expanded agreement, TonyBet will use St8’s game aggregation platform through a single API integration. St8 said this provides access to its wider catalogue of casino content for players in Alberta.

St8 said the Alberta rollout follows its newly acquired registration to operate in the province as an iGaming Services Supplier, allowing it to provide aggregation services to licensed operators in the market. The company said its platform connects partners to more than 200 game providers via a single API.

David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said:

“Entering Alberta’s regulated market is a strong step for St8 that represents our continued efforts to bring our offerings to as many territories as possible, delivering top-tier results for partnerships at the local, national and international stage. We share this commitment with TonyBet, a company that we are very fortunate to be working with so collaboratively and closely as we continue to grow our presence across North America.”

Kiryl Liudvikevich, Head of Product at TonyBet, said:

“We’re proud that our work with St8 has enabled us to continue expanding across Canada. Through St8’s aggregation platform, we can seamlessly access games from the industry’s leading providers via a single integration, helping us scale efficiently while maintaining a strong focus on the player experience. St8 has cemented itself as our go-to partner for expansion into regulated markets, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration as we grow into new jurisdictions.”

Casino game aggregation platform and full-service technology provider St8 has extended its ongoing partnership with TonyBet into Alberta, furthering both companies’ expansion into Canada.
As part of the extended agreement, Tonybet will benefit from St8’s next-generation platform via a single API integration, unlocking seamless access to a wide portfolio of games from the industry’s leading providers and enhancing its casino offering for players in Alberta.
The move is the latest in St8’s successful relationship with TonyBet, having previously launched in Ontario earlier this year in a bid to continually grow in regulated markets worldwide.
This expansion was made possible thanks to St8’s newly acquired registration to operate in Alberta as an iGaming Services Supplier, enabling St8 to provide its next-generation game aggregation services to licensed operators in the region, giving partners access to more than 200 premium game providers through a single API integration.
Featuring over 3,000 games from more than 60 providers, TonyBet, meanwhile, has gone from strength to strength in its 17-year history, establishing itself as one of the industry’s leading game studios by delivering engaging titles that combine player appeal with premium gameplay.
Holding licenses in 10 different jurisdictions including Spain, the Netherlands, the UK, Ireland and Estonia, among others, Tonybet’s partnership with St8 has seen them now launch in two separate territories in Canada, with both companies working collaboratively to explore the opportunities available in exciting new markets. This latest agreement reinforces St8’s strategy of expanding its premium content portfolio while helping operators simplify integration, accelerate market entry, and deliver engaging gaming experiences across multiple regulated jurisdictions.
Speaking on the expansion, David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said: “Entering Alberta’s regulated market is a strong step for St8 that represents our continued efforts to bring our offerings to as many territories as possible, delivering top-tier results for partnerships at the local, national and international stage.
