Recent ESG ratings by leading rating agencies acknowledge NOVOMATIC’s comprehensive efforts in managing Environmental Social Governance (ESG) factors with excellent risk and performance ratings. In this year’s Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating, NOVOMATIC has got the third rank.

As a clearly measurable and transparent asset, similar to financial performance, ESG has become an important element of evidence for investor and other financial stakeholder decisions. Companies have come to clearly acknowledge the significance of efficient ESG commitments and performance improvement in their long-term strategy.

In April, ESG ratings firm Sustainalytics assessed NOVOMATIC AG to be at “Low risk of material financial impacts driven by ESG factors.” NOVOMATIC received an ESG Risk Ratings score of 18.8, placing it third among 80 international gaming companies rated by Sustainalytics and among the top 100 rated companies in the wider consumer services industry globally.

Rating agency ISS ESG also rates NOVOMATIC AG among the Electronic Devices & Appliances industry’s top tier with a “C“ rating and a decile rank of 4 in a rating dating of June. VigeoEiris Rating attests the company rank 19th out of 43 versus its European peers in the Technology-Hardware Sector in the V.E’s ESG Assessment. NOVOMATIC AG receives “A” RepRisk Rating (www.reprisk.com) on a scale of D to AAA denoting “Low ESG Risk Exposure” based on RepRisk ESG data science.

“The consistently very positive assessments by leading international ESG rating agencies prove that our efforts to improve our non-financial performance and reduce risks related to Environmental Social Governance are being widely noted as above gaming industry average. We are very much aware of our responsibilities in terms of corporate governance as well as of the social and environmental impact of our business, and we work hard to take a proactive approach by implementing sound principles and best practices. For NOVOMATIC, topics like Responsible Entertainment, reducing the environmental footprint and occupational health and safety are part of our business philosophy,” Johannes Gratzl, Member of the Board of NOVOMATIC AG, said.

From launching our innovative ‘multi-universe’ content strategy to our rapid expansion in Latin America, the successful launch of our first Crash game, and multiple high-profile industry award wins — we are always developing, creating, and evolving. 33 years of innovation, dedication, and gaming excellence — and the best is yet to come.”

Supplier says new bonus targeting, parallel tournaments and faster content delivery aim to convert sportsbook spikes into casino revenue.

GR8 Tech says it has updated its casino product ahead of anticipated World Cup-driven traffic, focusing on bonus tools, tournament mechanics, content delivery and provider feature integrations.

“A World Cup can bring a lot of new traffic, but that traffic only matters if you give players a reason to stay,” said Lusine Khudaverdyan, Head of Casino at GR8 Tech. “For casino, that means more flexible bonuses, engaging tournaments, strong content coverage, and provider features that help operators convert interest into repeat play.”

On bonuses, the company said it has introduced product-level wagering that lets operators target promotions across slots, live casino and instant games, or combine categories. On tournaments, GR8 Tech said operators can now use the same game across multiple parallel tournaments and allow players to join more than one at the same time.

GR8 Tech said it works with more than 200 casino providers and is investing in infrastructure to speed up content delivery. The company said new provider-specific content delivery solutions can be implemented in about 1 to 2 weeks, and that it is adding roughly a dozen integrations per quarter. It also pointed to a roadmap aligned with demand trends including instant and mini-game formats, which it said are relevant for crypto-oriented brands and younger audiences.

Beyond game access, GR8 Tech said its roadmap is prioritizing integration of provider features it believes can impact engagement, retention and GGR, with the aim of reducing gaps between provider capabilities and what operators can activate on the platform.
