QTech Games bolsters its premier platform with AvatarUX
QTech Games, the number-one games distributor across Asia and all emerging markets, has penned its latest provider partnership with innovative games studio, AvatarUX, enabling its platform partners to access the supplier’s multi-faceted slots catalogue.
Consequently, AvatarUX, an emerging force in the igaming domain, is rolling out its immersive portfolio to operators across a series of untapped territories, showcasing a deep well of slot games. This includes an array of popular titles such as CherryPop and coming attractions, like HelioPOPolis, KokeshiPop and HipHopPop, each powered by its signature PopWins™ mechanics.
AvatarUX’s operates from a proprietary framework with tools that enable it to deliver feature-rich and audiovisually stunning games with short-course loading times. Its flexible approach, coupled with a powerful technical infrastructure, allows its team to focus on creating exciting customer-centric slots, underpinned by advanced mathematical models, immersive visuals and a strong user experience. AvatarUX’s success story has been accelerated by the aforementioned PopWins™ mechanics, which constitute a central feature in most of its available games. PopWins™ amplifies the slot experience and extends the length of the average spin session – meaning these games boast increased “win potential” and enhanced options for engaging gameplay.
This timely collaboration now sees QTech Games offer the popular PopWins™ alongside other original mechanics, such as MultiPop™, to its extensive operator network, furthering expanding the commercial potential for this award-winning studio, which was recently singled out as Rising Star at this year’s EGR B2B Awards 2022.
Incorporating this ever-evolving production line emphasizes QTech Games’ diverse range of gaming options, providing a definitive one-stop shop that has quickly become the “go-to” solution for worldwide operators across developing territories.
The agreement organically broadens AvatarUX’s geographic footprint, and creating new revenue streams along the way. As the fastest-growing distributor in Asia over the past few years, QTech Games’ platform offers the most expansive gaming portfolio around, localised for each region, with native mobile apps, powerful reporting and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.
QTech Games CCO, Daniel Long, said: “It’s another ringing endorsement for our platform to have integrated more premium content from AvatarUX. Theirs is a growing and constantly innovating library, delivering consistent support to the growth of our broad gaming-vertical spread, courtesy of some high-quality graphics, gameplay and unique features.
“Together, we will continue to raise the bar and shape a localised experience for global players. We can’t wait to witness how these games perform across a range of untapped markets which, in most cases, break new ground for AvatarUX. They have brought genuine innovation to the igaming space through their immersive PopWins™ mechanic, and we can’t wait to make their games available to our partners.”
Nicola Longmuir, CEO at AvatarUX, added: “QTech Games is a natural habitat for our superior online casino games and player-engagement tools. We are widening our scope across developing regions and their market-leading platform provides a flexible gateway to widening our game distribution and reaching new players.
“AvatarUX’s mission remains steadfast: to become a market-leading game studio, with progressive global recognition recently received for our award-winning slot games. To achieve this goal, we believe in leveraging potential, via an agile workforce and the creation of beneficial partnerships, just like this one with QTech Games, in which we work directly with trusted global distributors to continue to support our rapid growth worldwide.
“AvatarUX continues to create top-tier slot games with well-balanced gameplay and unique features, framed by engaging visuals and immersive soundscapes. Needless to say, entering into this QTech Games agreement tracks our core strategy to fully leverage our reach, and we look forward to seeing how new audiences embrace our games.”

Swedish gaming giant’s industry signals commitment to the UK regulated market by launching it leading portfolio of games with Ivy Casino
Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has today announced that its industry leading portfolio of games is now live with Ivy Casino in the UK.
Ivy Casino’s players in the United Kingdom can now access global smash hits from Play’n GO, including Book of Dead, Legacy of Dead, and Rise of Olympus 100 among many others.
Ivy Casino is a UK-facing online casino brand that launched in 2024 with a focus on delivering a premium, player-centric experience tailored specifically for the UK market.
The brand operates alongside two sister sites, Rose Casino and O’Reels, which also serve UK audiences and share the same commitment to high-quality entertainment, strong user experience and robust responsible gaming standards.
Play’n GO has been one of the leading game suppliers in the UK for many years and is steadfast in its commitment to regulated markets globally.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer of Play’n GO, said:
“We are delighted to launch with Ivy Casino in the UK who, like us, are focused on all the key elements of operating within a regulated market framework. I’m sure this is just the beginning of a long and fruitful partnership.”
Mark Good, representing Ivy Casino, said:
“This partnership with Play’n GO forms part of Ivy Casino’s ongoing strategy to enhance its content offering for UK players by collaborating with leading studios known for creative, engaging gameplay.”
Play’n GO is a proud sponsor of the Moneygram Haas Formula 1 team, and recently launched a fashion brand, Play’n GO Shop, to sit alongside its existing Play’n GO Music brand to give fans more ways to connect with Play’n GO.
In October, Play’n GO set a world record by launching everyone’s favourite slot character, Garga, into space reaching a height of over 35,500m as part of the launch campaign for Reactoonz 100 which instantly became one of the biggest game launches of the year for the company.

Brand Activation
Esportes da Sorte strengthens brand presence during New Year’s Eve celebrations across four Brazilian capitals
Esportes da Sorte, one of Brazil’s leading online betting platforms, will be the official sponsor of New Year’s Eve celebrations in four Brazilian capitals: Salvador, Recife, Natal and Maceió. The initiative reinforces the brand’s growing presence in the national cultural calendar and its strategy to connect with large-scale public celebrations beyond the digital environment.
New Year’s Eve is one of Brazil’s most significant annual moments, marked by intense domestic travel, international tourism and mass public participation. By supporting celebrations in four key destinations, Esportes da Sorte aligns its brand with tradition, culture and shared experiences that resonate deeply with local communities.
“Sponsoring New Year’s Eve celebrations in four capitals reflects our commitment to being present in moments that bring people together,” said Marcela Campos, Vice President of the Esportes Gaming Brasil Group, owner of the Esportes da Sorte brand. “Supporting these cities means valuing their cultural identity, strengthening local ecosystems and celebrating the people who keep these traditions alive year after year.”
Across all four capitals, the brand will activate its presence through immersive experiences, public-facing activations and the distribution of branded giveaways — a hallmark of Esportes da Sorte’s engagement strategy at major events. The activations are designed to enhance the festive atmosphere while reinforcing the brand’s connection with culture, entertainment and responsible enjoyment.
The New Year’s Eve sponsorships build on Esportes da Sorte’s broader cultural engagement strategy, which includes long-standing support for large-scale events such as Carnatal, in Rio Grande do Norte — a key fixture in the state’s tourism and cultural calendar. Together, these initiatives reflect the company’s commitment to expanding its footprint in cultural sponsorships nationwide.
Esportes da Sorte’s participation also mirrors a wider trend within Brazil’s regulated betting market, as operators increasingly diversify their sponsorship portfolios beyond football. Music, festivals and cultural celebrations have become strategic platforms for brands seeking broader visibility, deeper community ties and more sustainable engagement with the public.
