Award-winning provider of socially charged online casino experiences that allow online casinos to leverage the power of streaming integrates with tier one platform supplier
Livespins, the award-winning platform that allows operators to leverage the demand for casino streaming, has significantly increased its distribution among tier-one operators after partnering with Comtrade.
Comtrade is an independent software provider with truly global reach, powering big-name operators such as Mansion Group and its M88 brand.
By joining forces with Livespins, Comtrade operators can now offer their players socially charged online casino experiences for the first time. Livespins allows players to tune into popular streams and get directly involved in the action by betting behind their favourite streamer, brand ambassador or celebrity.
This creates a group bet and a shared player experience but with each player able to set their own bet among and number of spins. Whether their bet wins or not, a fun, entertaining and interactive experience is guaranteed with each spin.
Social interaction is at the heart of the Livespins experience – players can chat with each other and the streamer throughout, and also drop reactions, emojis and even gifs.
Livespins has stocked its lobby with slots from the most popular providers in the market, with streamers firing up the reels in titles from the likes of Yggdrasil Gaming, Relax Gaming and iSoftBet. The new way of delivering slots to operators and players saw Livespins pick up the award for Innovation in Slot Provision at this year’s EGR B2B Awards.
Michael Pedersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Livespins, said: “Our platform and product are changing the game for online casino operators and this partnership with Comtrade allows us to bring slot streaming more brands than ever before.
“Comtrade is focused on powering only the biggest casinos in markets across the world, so this partnership will add high-calibre brands to our growing line-up of operator partners.
“That Livespins sits within the lobbies of these casinos means that players are afforded the same responsible gambling measures as when playing other games and this in turn means that Comtrade’s partners can leverage the streaming opportunity confident that they are fully compliant.”
Steven Valentine, Chief Commercial Officer at Comtrade, added: “At Comtrade, we believe in value driven technology and go to great lengths to ensure that our operators can provide the best possible experience to their players. This partnership with Livespins allows us to do just that.
“Casino and slot streaming is big and will only get bigger. Livespins allows operators to capitalise on this in a way that is responsible and compliant, providing an entirely new way for them to experience online casino.
“This is a strong addition to our offering and strengthens our position as the go-to technology partner for the biggest online casino brands in the world.”

Gamblers Connect names Gali Hartuv as seventh 2026 Contributors Program voice
The Playa strategic advisor will publish on VIP operations, segmentation and retention, starting with an anonymous VIP Operations Survey 2026.
Gamblers Connect has confirmed Gali Hartuv, Strategic Advisor at The Playa, as the seventh voice to join its 2026 Contributors Program.
The independent B2B iGaming media platform said the programme will reveal one senior industry voice per month throughout 2026, with contributors publishing under the Gamblers Connect Contributor Editorial Code.
Gamblers Connect said Hartuv has more than 15 years’ experience in VIP management, including designing and optimising VIP programmes across more than 50 operator brands, and training “hundreds of professionals” now working in VIP roles across the industry.
Hartuv will publish across four areas: building VIP programmes that drive long-term value; AI-powered VIP identification and player segmentation; hyper-personalisation and retention strategy; and scaling VIP operations across different markets and cultures. His first contribution is a VIP Operations Survey 2026, an anonymous survey intended to benchmark how VIP teams work across iGaming operators, including portfolio sizing, tools, qualification thresholds, workflow standards and where time is spent during the week.
Partnerships and Operations Lead, Luka Dimitrijevic, said: “VIP management is where a great deal of an operator’s value is won or lost, and very few people can speak to it with Gali’s depth. He has spent his career turning high value player relationships into a discipline rather than guesswork, and he is refreshingly candid about what works and what does not. Through the Contributors Program he will share practical insight on VIP strategy, retention, and the smart use of AI, with content grounded in real results rather than recycled best practices.”
