Bayern Munich Executive Criticises Online Betting Restrictions of German Gambling Treaty
Jörg Wacker, the board member of FC Bayern Munich, has criticised the online betting restrictions of the nation’s “Fourth Interstate Treaty on Gambling” set to be introduced in 2021.
Despite Lander (state) consensus being reached on eliminating restrictions on online casino products, Germany’s Bundesrat (Federal Council) maintains controversial requirements attached to sports betting, restricting monthly player deposits to €1000 and yet to be determined in-play wagering bet types.
Wacker advises Lander (state) executives to revise their agreed federal mandate on sports betting as “the regulation does not fit market realities.”
“The term illegal is completely unsuitable for the majority of German operators, who hold EU licenses and are sanctioned by Schleswig-Holstein. The legal situation has not been clarified for 15-years, but that does not mean that operators are illegal. German bookmakers paid €500 million in tax revenues last year, meaning that there is a legal basis in which they operate,” Wacker said.
Wacker would retort Bundesrat justifications for the Treaty’s strict in-play wagering and monthly €1000 deposit restrictions, as a means of better controlling sports integrity and gambling addiction.
“Is it really like that? If products like in-play betting and poker are allowed does Germany suddenly become a land of gambling addicts… Sodom and Gomorrah! These products have been offered in Germany without restrictions for over a decade now and that outcome has simply not happened. The same applies to game manipulation. A €1000 deposit limit and a ban on live betting carry the greater risk of consumers migrating to the black market, where they will wager higher amounts. The black market is easy to find these days, so we are better off keeping players legal,” he said.

Booming Games marks two years in South Africa, targets top supplier spot
Booming Games says it is marking two years in South Africa and is setting a target to be “recognised as the market’s leading games provider in the next 1-2 years,” according to a company statement dated 14 July 2026.
The Malta-based supplier entered the market in July 2024 and says it has since grown from a single partner relationship to working with “a host of tier one operators across Africa.” The company also claims its local team has doubled in size, with further hiring planned in the coming months, and noted shortlistings at the SiGMA Africa Awards and iGA Summit Awards earlier this year.
In South Africa, Booming Games said it has more than 145 titles “tested, approved and live” in Mpumalanga, Western Cape and Eastern Cape. The company also pointed to a partnership announced last month with World Sports Betting (WSB), under which a selection of its titles will be integrated into WSB’s platform.
Solomon Godwin, Head of Africa at Booming Games, said: “Close partnerships with operators is central to our ability to innovate and deliver at speed. These collaborations allow us to establish a comprehensive feedback loop that informs future games. Put simply, we listen to our punters through our partners.”
Looking ahead, Booming Games said it plans to expand into “every remaining province” and increase investment in local presence and operator partnerships, including targeting new aggregator platforms entering the market. The supplier also said it will expand its release pipeline with localised titles and is developing new games across crash and instant categories, alongside updates to existing games.
Max Niehusen, Founder of Booming Games, said: “South Africa already drives the largest proportion of our revenues in Africa, and as we celebrate two successful years here, we are well placed to build out our offering even further over the years ahead.”

Tonybet awards €7,000 silver prize in World Cup Card Collection campaign
Tonybet has awarded a €7,000 prize to a player in Kilcock, Ireland, after the customer found the campaign’s silver card in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection promotion. The update was announced Tuesday 14th July 2026.
The World Cup Card Collection includes 51 cards: 48 digital cards representing each participating World Cup nation, plus three unique cards—gold, silver and bronze—tied to prize payouts. Tonybet said the bronze card was available during the group stage and was previously found by a customer in Canada.
According to the operator, the silver card was available during the knockout rounds through the quarter-finals. The gold card is now in play for the semi-finals, third-place play-off and final.
Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “Our Tonybet World Cup Card Collection Bronze prize went during the group stage; now Silver has gone too!
“A massive congratulations to our lucky winner in Kilcock, County Kildare. Silver was always the knockout-round card, available once the World Cup reached the stage where a single result ends a team’s tournament. It has found its winner just as the field thins to the last handful of nations.
“Now we’re down to the final four, that’s where the competition really hots up, leaving just the golden card still hidden somewhere for our lucky winner to find. Best of luck to all of our players as this amazing World Cup reaches its conclusion this week.”
Tonybet said its World Cup Card Collection runs until 31 July. With the bronze and silver cards already claimed, the remaining campaign prize depends on when the gold card is found before the promotion ends.

Tequity signs Koom Games to its RGS platform
Tequity has agreed a Remote Gaming Server (RGS) deal with slot studio Koom Games, with the partnership announced on 14 July 2026. Koom Games will use Tequity’s licensed modular RGS to develop and roll out new titles for distribution to operators worldwide.
Under the agreement, Koom Games will use Tequity’s infrastructure to handle game delivery while keeping control of its creative and development roadmap. The studio said its approach is to build content closer to mobile and social gaming than traditional casino titles.
Tequity said it currently supports 31 RGS clients and manages more than 130 integrations across regulated markets. The company positioned the Koom Games deal as part of a wider run of commercial agreements with providers and operators.
Tanja Bergman, VP of Partnerships at Tequity, said: “Koom Games is a studio that is looming to enter the global market by making a big splash. The team’s dedication to creating content that is genuinely fresh is highly impressive. We are thrilled to offer the stable, high-performance environment needed to transform this creative vision into a market-leading reality.”
Marko Zulj, CEO & co-founder at Koom Games, said: “Whenever operators and aggregators ask us what category our games fit into, we actually struggle to give a traditional answer. Instead, we tell them, ‘you’ll need to try them, because you haven’t played this before’.
“Our games come with completely new mechanics, fresh math, and features built for social engagement. To scale such a vision and remain agile, we needed more than a reliable RGS — we were looking for a robust iGaming platform that lets us confidently develop in any direction, and we found exactly that in Tequity.”
