Stakelogic slots to launch at BataviaCasino.nl
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.”

Moreover, we intend to continue executing our strategic transformation with clarity and focus, and in doing so, we hope to deliver strong, sustainable value creation for our fellow shareholders for many years to come.”
“Unlocking SharpLink’s next phase of growth with purpose and cost-discipline will be key to our long-term success and should provide us with greater agility as we build momentum and look to accelerate our growth prospects as 2024 unfolds. To help support our mission and continued strategic transformation, we have filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC and accompanying prospectus for an At-The-Market offering (“ATM”) which we may utilize to raise growth capital if and when market conditions permit. We have identified other measures that we may also pursue to optimize our assets and further strengthen the foundation on which we are building the ‘new’ SharpLink. Over the course of the next several months, I look forward to sharing many more details on our plans and future ambitions,” concluded Phythian.
