Swedish game developer Gaming Corps has announced a partnership agreement with market-leading iGaming pioneer Betsson Group. The agreement incorporates development of
an exclusive casino game, bespoke adaptation of the upcoming iJect series of Multiplier Games based on crypto crash game functionality for several Betsson Group brands, as well as distribution of Gaming Corps’ complete iGaming portfolio via aggregator iSoftbet.

Publicly listed Swedish game developer Gaming Corps has entered into a comprehensive partnership agreement with iGaming pioneer Betsson Group. The agreement is chiefly comprised of three parts, the first of which concerns distribution of Gaming Corps’ complete iGaming portfolio to Betsson Group’s fully and partially owned online casinos under brands such as Betsafe, Europebet and NordicBet. The second part concerns the bespoke adaption of upcoming Multiplier Games as well as upcoming Blackjack games for several of the Betsson Group brands. The Gaming Corps Multiplier Games are fast casino games inspired by crypto currency crash games, on route to being launched under the new product brand iJect. The third part concerns bespoke development of a new type of game which will be offered exclusively via Betsson Group online casinos.

“Gaming Corps is demonstrating real innovation with their iGaming portfolio. The upcoming Table Games and iJect series of Multiplier Games resonates with how Betsson Group sees the industry going forward, and together I believe we can position ourselves at the forefront of this development. In addition, we are impressed with the speed at which Gaming Corps has been able to develop new products which has led to partnering on creating an exciting new type of game. It will be interesting to follow how this cooperation unfolds and I am confident that we will build market value for both parties.” says Paul Malt, Head of Games, Betsson Group.

“This agreement constitutes a significant milestone in Gaming Corps’ development and is evidence that the products we have chosen to invest in are leading the Company on the right path. We are incredibly pleased to be entering into a partnership with one of Europe’s leading iGaming companies, a player responsible for driving the industry forward over the course of many years, having left a significant imprint on it, not least here in Sweden. Now we are given the opportunity to not only offer our games to all of Betsson Group’s many players around the world but also, in collaboration with a tremendously industry-savvy team, develop the next generation of casino games. That is a challenge I know our talented team members will meet. I would like to thank Betsson Group for good cooperation, we look forward to working on many exciting projects together in the future.” says Juha Kauppinen, CEO, Gaming Corps.

The agreement furthermore includes some exclusivity for Betsson Group on Gaming Corps’ upcoming iJect series of Multiplier Games in Italy and Georgia. Distribution of the full Gaming Corps portfolio will be carried out via iSoftbet’s Game Aggregation Platform (GAP).

“As we continue to develop our product portfolio, I believe Gaming Corps is on the right track of offering the type of innovation that large operators are looking for in an increasingly saturated market. With our upcoming products we have let gamification lead the way, and that represents the core of this new partnership with Betsson. I am very excited to get
started on our collaboration.” says Alex Lorimer, Head of Business Development, Gaming Corps

Groove has been named a finalist for Best Aggregator 2026 at the SiGMA Asia Awards, with the ceremony scheduled for 2 June 2026 at the SMX Convention Centre Manila during the SiGMA Asia Summit.

The shortlist was announced by Global Gaming Insider, according to the company. Groove said its platform aggregates more than 15,000 games from over 150 providers via a single API.

Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove, said: “This shortlist is external recognition of a truth we already feel internally: Groove is moving at a different pace. Asia is not a single market, it is a collection of distinct regulatory environments, player behaviours, and partnership opportunities”

Campo added: “Our platform is built to respect that complexity, not smooth it over. Being named a finalist for Best Aggregator tells us that our approach; deep integration, localised content strategies, and commercial precision; is resonating with the operators who matter most in this region. We are not just bringing games to Asia. We are bringing a roadmap for sustainable growth.”

Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Groove, said: “The aggregation space is crowded. Differentiation is everything. This nomination confirms that our vision, transforming aggregation from a commodity into a strategic growth discipline, is taking hold.” He added: “Operators across Asia are no longer asking for just volume or speed. They are asking for structural resilience, data intelligence, and a partner who can execute across fragmented regulatory landscapes with precision. Groove delivers that. To be recognised alongside the best in Asia is a privilege, but the real work continues in Manila and beyond. We are here to win, not just awards, but the trust of the operators who build their businesses on our platform.”

DATA.BET says turnover from its virtual content grew 168% between Q1 2025 and Q1 2026, with the supplier reporting the product accounted for 39% of total virtual sports turnover and 45% of profits over the period.

The company said the content is developed fully in-house and delivered through automated bot-vs-bot matches that run 24/7 without dependence on real-world fixture schedules. DATA.BET positioned the format as a way to provide continuous events and reduce operational overhead for operators.

Across the same period, DATA.BET reported +299% active users, +129% across clients GGR, +246% events per quarter, and +218% bets placed.

DATA.BET also said the audience profile overlaps with live football bettors, which it believes supports retention during seasonal breaks. The supplier added that the algorithm-driven format “carries no fraud exposure,” supports In-Stream Betting overlays, and provides near-zero latency between broadcast and market updates.

“Over the past year, our bot-vs-bot virtual content has delivered consistent, measurable results across every operator deployment. Building e-Football in-house gives us the flexibility to configure it to what each operator actually needs — whether that is a specific league structure, a particular mix of bot and player content, or a branded competition format,” mentioned Rostyslav Likhtin, Head of Product at DATA.BET.
