QTech Games joins forces to integrate more premium content from Prospect Gaming
QTech Games, the number-one games distributor across Asia and emerging markets, has announced another premium partnership with Prospect Gaming, the latest dedicated studio from the 1X2 Network’s multi-award-winning suite of igaming brands.
Prospect Gaming is tailored towards developing slot products with a classic retail feel, in order to cater to customers in the unfolding landscape of the Americas and beyond, with a steadfast commitment to innovation and intuitive-yet-bold mechanics.
As a branch of the ramifying 1X2 Network, Prospect Gaming represents another product-range extension for its parent company, sitting alongside more established studio brands, like 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio, as a key component of 1X2 Network’s wider multi-studio strategy.
For its part, Prospect Gaming will remain laser-focused on creating classic games that embrace the fundamentals of slots by delivering immersive and fulfilling gaming experiences to player types both new and old. Its team of talented designers, developers and artists is passionate about igaming, and committed to producing high-quality games to support varied game-lobby philosophies.
As the fastest-growing distributor across emerging markets in recent history, QTech’s platform boasts the broadest gaming portfolio around, localised for each region, with native mobile apps, powerful reporting and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.
Daniel Long, CCO at QTech Games, said: “Prospect Gaming offers something old and something new, with some fresh twists on old retail classics, as eloquently exemplified by the release of their debut title, Prospector Wilds.
“Together, we can continue to raise the bar and shape a localised experience for global players across varied cultures. We can’t wait to see how these games perform across a range of margin markets which, in many cases, represent new ground for 1X2 Network, and obviously the unfolding history of Prospect Gaming.”
Alex Ratcliffe, CPO at 1X2 Network, said: “With Prospect Gaming, we were looking to round-out the multi-studio offering that is the 1X2Network with a core bricks-and-mortar-to-digitally-focused studio. The Prospector Wilds series has hit the ground ‘digging’ and illustrates the benchmark quality that operators have come to expect from the 1X2Network.”

ReferOn has completed a management buyout, with former General Manager Alex Bukin acquiring the iGaming affiliate management platform and taking over as Chief Executive Officer.
Bukin said the deal is intended to support longer-term product and market plans: “This is an important moment for ReferOn and the beginning of a new chapter for the business. The management buyout provides us with the long-term focus required to continually advance the platform. We remain committed to product development, strengthening our offerings for partners, and supporting ReferOn’s continued growth across key markets.”
ReferOn reported that in its first 12 months post-launch it recorded 35.7 million clicks, 2.4 million registrations, 18,000 affiliates, and 136,000 active trackers. The company also said it was named “Best Affiliate Platform” in 2025 and 2026 by industry stakeholders.
The company said the ownership change will not affect day-to-day operations and that existing support and partnerships will continue. It also pointed to recent product updates including Refie, described as a built-in interface layer, alongside features such as dynamic reporting, Company Grouping, Sub-Affiliation, Independent Deal Calculation (IDC), two-factor authentication (2FA), and mobile optimization.
As part of the transition, ReferOn said its leadership team remains in place, with Vlad Bondarenko moving from Head of Product to Chief Product Officer and David Harris moving from Operations Lead to Chief Operations Officer.

ELA Games said its slot title Joker Winpot has been shortlisted for “Game of the Year” at the 2026 SBC Awards Americas, with winners set to be revealed on June 10, 2026 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The company described Joker Winpot as a consistent performer in its portfolio, combining a dark, character-driven theme with a 1×1 grid format.
ELA Games said the title’s core differentiator is its proprietary Winpot mechanic, a progression-based feature built around player choice. As rewards build inside the Winpot, players can either cash out or keep spinning in pursuit of higher payouts.
The 2026 SBC Awards Americas ceremony will take place at the Broward County Convention Center. Organizers expect around 600 industry professionals, with the awards running alongside SBC Summit Americas from June 9–11.
