Slot developer’s full suite of titles now available via the provider’s game-changing live streaming platform which aims to socially charge the online casino space

In-demand developer Kalamba Games has become the latest slot studio to leverage the tremendous popularity of streaming by integrating its full suite of content into the Livespins platform for the very first time.

Livespins is already live on casinofriday.com and has gained huge traction with players.

Under the partnership, Kalamba Games’ engaging and entertaining online slots will now be made available to Livespins’ growing team of super-star streamers, including player-favourite titles such as Blazing Bill Cash Quest – Next Release, Mochina Megaways and Joker Max.

Livespins is revolutionising the online casino space via its platform which delivers socially charged experiences to players. It provides a new way for them to enjoy the thrill and excitement of online slots play through its state-of-the-art streaming technology.

Not only can players watch the best streamers in the business, but they can also bet behind the edge-of-your-seat action taking place across the reels. Social interaction is delivered through the ability to chat to the streamer and other players throughout, and by adding reactions to the gameplay.

With the slot being played such an important part of the overall stream experience, Livespins has looked to partner with the best slot developers in the business with Kalamba Games the latest in a growing roster of key partnership for the platform, its streamers and of course players.

Michael Pedersen, CCO at Livespins, said: “Content is such a fundamental part of any live stream so for us, it is important to keep onboarding the most exciting and innovative game developers in the market and in Kalamba Games we have yet another great partner.

“By giving our streamers access to in-demand games from a wide range of studios, they have what they need to thrill and entertain players who, via our state-of-the-art platform, can not only watch the action but bet behind it.

“Kalamba will undoubtedly be a popular option for our steamers and their discerning audiences, and we are delighted for them to have joined the Livespins family.”

Andrew Crosby, CCO at Kalamba Games, added: “There is no denying that streaming is fast becoming a significant channel where players engage with online casino content and Livespins has taken this a step further by allowing players to bet behind what is happening on the reels.

“We are thrilled to have integrated our games into the Livespins platform and look forward to its streamers showcasing the fun and excitement each title has to offer.”

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.

The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.

In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.

“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”

The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.

For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.

The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
