Developer becomes the latest to join innovative platform that provides direct access to some of the biggest casino affiliates in the business
Yolted, the online casino game studio dedicated to creating electrifying, market-specific titles, has become the latest provider to sign up to First Look Games to significantly increase the exposure of its slots among affiliates and ultimately players.
By becoming a First Look Games studio partner, Yolted gains direct access to over 700 online casino affiliates and can share with them information and assets for its existing portfolio of slots as well as all future releases.
This includes game information sheets and marketing assets like logos, images and videos of games being played. These are uploaded to the First Look Games Library where they can be downloaded individually or in bulk.
In addition, assets can be uploaded two weeks prior to game launch so that a select number of affiliates can have a “first look” at the information in order to create content ahead of go-live which is then published in prime positions across their sites once the game hits operator lobbies.
Yolted will also be able to access a range of new studio features following the launch of First Look Games 2.0 in February. This includes more options to manage their games and assets via a brand-new Studio Management Centre.
Key features include being able to announce any exclusivity arrangements they have on game launches as well as adding and removing jurisdictions for each game.
Other highlights of First Look Games 2.0 include a cutting-edge API feature that provides connected access to game and game studio data, presented to affiliates in a structured format. This allows them to automatically create initial reviews of games.
Tom Galanis, Managing Director of First Look Games, said: “I’d like to welcome Yolted to the First Look Games family and look forward to seeing the studio leverage our growing selection of tools designed to help developers maximise the direct access we provide to affiliates.
“Affiliates are a powerful marketing channel for game studios with players using the information and reviews provided to ultimately decide what to play. FLG allows developers to showcase their slots and drive engagement with publishers and ultimately players.”
Thomas Jones, CEO at Yolted, added: “Yolted is on a mission to provide the best games in specialised markets, and to ensure that players are aware of the electrifying experience our titles have to offer, we needed to ramp up exposure for our slots with the right partners.
“First Look Games provides us with direct access to some of the most trusted and respected affiliates and this, in turn, will allow us to make more players aware of our innovative games than ever before.”

1spin4win presents Lucky 1spin4win Hold and Win to mark its 5th anniversary
1spin4win reached a significant milestone — five years on the iGaming market. The anniversary motto, The Gold Standard of Classic Slots, reflects the studio’s evolution into a recognized name in the classic slot niche, built on years of industry expertise and commitment to delivering authentic gambling experiences.
Today, its portfolio features more than 200 games combining timeless appeal, advanced mathematics, and strong performance. In 2025, 1spin4win achieved a 52.06% increase in bet count and a 56.62% rise in GGR compared to 2024.

BC.Game’s new CEO Kar Kheng Giam on strategy, structure and growth
Following his appointment as CEO of BC.Game in March, Kar Kheng Giam (KK) speaks about the strategic priorities shaping the company’s next phase, from strengthening operational foundations to navigating the evolving role of crypto within regulated gaming markets.
You’ve stepped into the CEO role at a pivotal time for the industry. How do you assess the current position of BC.Game?
BC.Game enters this stage from a position of strength in terms of product, user engagement and global reach.
At the same time, the broader industry is evolving. Expectations around governance, regulatory alignment and operational maturity are increasing, particularly for businesses operating across multiple jurisdictions.
So while the foundation is strong, there is a clear opportunity to further strengthen the structure of the business to support long-term, sustainable growth.
That foundation is reflected in the scale of the business today, with more than 9 million registered users and over 500,000 monthly active players, and in the progress we’ve made across licensed markets such as Anjouan, Kenya, Nigeria and Mexico.
How would you define the strategic focus for BC.Game over the next 12 to 24 months?
It comes down to three interconnected areas. First, reinforcing the operational and governance framework of the business, ensuring we are well aligned with the expectations of more established regulatory environments.
Second, continuing to invest in the product – not just in terms of content, but in the overall user experience and platform reliability.
And third, taking a disciplined approach to market expansion, focusing on jurisdictions where we can build a sustainable and compliant presence.
It’s about evolving the business in a structured and deliberate way.
You’ve highlighted governance and structure. What does that mean in practical terms?
It means putting in place the systems, processes and organisational clarity needed to operate at scale.
As companies grow internationally, complexity increases – across regulation, payments, technology and operations. Strengthening governance is about ensuring those elements are well coordinated and consistently managed.
This is not about changing what BC.Game is, but about building the framework that allows it to grow more effectively.
Why has trust become so important at this stage?
At BC.GAME’s scale, trust is no longer just about brand but increasingly becomes a business issue – it affects retention, partnerships, market entry and long-term growth.
And trust is built in very practical ways. People judge a platform by whether the rules are clear, whether communication is smooth, and whether issues actually get resolved. That’s why growth on its own is no longer enough.
Where is the most immediate trust pressure on BC.GAME showing up today?
The pressure shows up most clearly in user experience and issue handling because that’s where people feel it first.
Some of the feedback does point to response times and cases where issues stay in the same entry point for too long. When that happens often enough, it becomes bigger than a service issue, it starts to shape trust.
What changes is BC.GAME putting in place in response to these issues?
We’ve already started making changes. That includes upgrading how user issues are handled, bringing cross-functional teams in earlier, and improving how issues are identified and coordinated internally.
As the business has grown, relying too heavily on a single customer support entry point is no longer enough. The focus now is to make issue handling clearer, more stable, and better suited to the scale of the platform.
What role does organisational development play in this next phase?
As the business grows, it’s important to ensure that the organisation evolves alongside it. That includes strengthening leadership structures, clarifying roles and responsibilities, and building capabilities in key areas such as compliance and market operations.
Ultimately, strategy is only as effective as the organisation delivering it.
From a leadership perspective, how do you approach guiding a globally distributed business?
In a global organisation, alignment is critical – everyone needs to understand the strategic direction and how their role contributes to it. At the same time, there needs to be flexibility to adapt to local market dynamics.
My role is to create that balance – providing clear direction while enabling teams to execute effectively within their markets.
Finally, what does success look like for BC.Game over the next few years?
Success is about building a more structured, resilient and trusted business.
That means strengthening our position in regulated markets, continuing to evolve the product, and ensuring the organisation is equipped to operate at scale. This current period is a crucial one for us as we introduce multiple product rollouts at BC.GAME, with several key updates scheduled to go live. These include BC Engine, along with a broader upgrade to the bonus system and, of course, the World Cup.
If we can achieve that through consistent, incremental progress, then we will be well positioned for the long term.
