In-demand software providers strengthen their position in the nascent Dutch market by offering full suite of games via Relax Gaming platform

Following hot on the heels of their partnership deal with BetCity.nl this month, slot innovators Stakelogic have announced they will be reinforcing their position in the Dutch iGaming market by offering games at the Play North’s New Dutch Brand BataviaCasino.nl.

Having established themselves as one of the most sought-after software providers on the market, Stakelogic will make their full suite of games available at bataviacasino.nl through their previously-established partnership deal with Play North Ltd. & Relax Gaming, who will provide the site’s gaming infrastructure.

The deal between Stakelogic and BataviaCasino.nl is the second agreement with a company with a new Dutch license that has been unveiled by the group in the past week – and with the Dutch iGaming market only recently opening up for operators, it further cements their intention to take the country by storm.

Needless to say, the new deal means that Dutch customers will now have access to Stakelogic’s impressive catalogue of games, including much-anticipated upcoming releases such as Apes of Doom and Joker Drop, both of which are scheduled to debut over the next few weeks.

Additionally, players at bataviacasino.nl will also be able to find Stakelogic’s full range of classic slots and premium releases, with the former offering them retro, fruit-themed fun and rewarding bonus features while the latter introduces them to innovative payline technology and unique game modes.

The most notable of these of these patented Stakelogic gameplay additions is, of course, Super StakeTM. An optional feature that can be purchased by players who double their current bet, Super StakeTM can be found across a wide range of slots and provides access to additional incentives such as extra wilds and scatters symbols, as well as enabling players to buy directly into the bonus round in some cases.

Available on popular games such as Midas Wilds, 9 Pyramids of Fortune and Extreme MegawaysTM, Super StakeTM is an exciting new addition for Netherlands players and will help to further distinguish Stakelogic slots from the rest of the competition as they make their mark on the new Dutch market.

Olga Bajela, CCO at Stakelogic said: “We’re delighted to have agreed a new partnership deal with bataviacasino.nl that will bring our full suite of games to Netherlands players via the Relax Gaming platform. The move emphasises our intention to make Stakelogic the go-to software provider for Dutch online casinos and further strengthens our position in this rapidly developing market.”

Patrick Azzopardi, Director at Play North added: “We want BataviaCasino.nl to provide an unrivalled online gaming experience to Dutch players – and the best way to do that is by teaming up with the world’s premier software providers. By offering Stakelogic slots at bataviacasino.nl, we’ll be giving our players access to a great collection of games packed with exciting concepts and rewarding features.”

Esports and live events operator says it stayed profitable in 2025 and plans 15 arena events across 13 cities in 2026.

BLAST has opened a New York City headquarters in Brooklyn as the company reported record growth and profitability in 2025, including more than $133 million in revenue and over 40% year-over-year growth.

The new U.S. headquarters is located at 45 Main Street in Brooklyn within a shared 55,000-square-foot office space. BLAST said the hub will support partnerships, live events and commercial growth across North America as it expands its U.S. operations.

The North American push is being led by Chief Business Officer Leo Matlock, who has relocated to New York, alongside Steve Rossi, who joined earlier this year as SVP of Brand Partnerships. BLAST said its U.S. team has grown to eight full-time employees.

BLAST said it has staged seven tier-one esports events in North America over the past 16 months, across Austin, Fort Worth, Boston, Raleigh, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. The company cited “more than $102 million” in economic impact from the 2025 BLAST.tv Austin Major alone, including more than $9 million in hotel expenditures. It also recently announced the Rocket League World Championship will return to Fort Worth in September 2026.

In 2025, BLAST said its broadcasts delivered more than 2 billion live views globally and 300 million hours watched, spanning live events in 22 cities worldwide. The company also said it distributes content via 29 broadcast partners, including SuperSport, France TV and RTBF, reaching audiences in more than 150 territories and 30+ languages.

“Competitive entertainment has become one of the fastest-growing sectors in global media because it combines community, technology and live experiences in entirely new ways,” said Robbie Douek, CEO of BLAST. “The next generation of fans want entertainment that feels participatory, social and global by default. That shift is creating enormous opportunities for brands, publishers, creators and host cities, and we believe BLAST is uniquely positioned to help lead that evolution after a landmark year in 2025.” BLAST said it plans to host 15 arena events across 13 cities and three continents in 2026.
