Groove’s new product manager starts with a bang
Aggregator and platform Groove has developed a revolutionary product designed to deliver the best casino experience that has been nurtured through a year of painstaking development by Groove’s new Product Manager Shay Kababia.
The technology upgrade follows hot-on-the-heels of a Groove rebrand that reflects the futuristic direction of the company; along with a change of website and domain to www.groovetech.com as the refreshed brand’s expression around game-changing innovation.
Kababia and his team of developers have been working round-the-clock to realise an ambitious addition to the Groove offering, with the user-friendly data-driven recommender having an intuitive UI/UX set-up that provides operators with four levels of display based on player behaviour analytics: Recommended; new games; coming soon; and, may interest you as well.
With the help of the four levels, the new technology helps maximise casino ROI by aligning content to casino brand traffic.
Operators are now able to more efficiently manage the betting process and gather data on the outcomes of various initiatives in one screen using the new feature, while having full control of their own admin. The tool is easy to navigate and there are plenty of opportunities to discover new content from over 100 content partners as well as from the new GrooveStudio launched last week.
Through the rebrand, Groove’s twin pillars of turnkey (GrooveOn) and aggregation (GroovePlay), provided under an end-to-end technology umbrella, are supported by what is widely recognised as one of the best technical teams in the industry, further enhanced by the addition of Shay.
Groove has been able to establish itself as a benchmark for an operator cluster that includes tier-1’s and beyond, supporting a plethora of casino brands.
By offering a full suite of turnkey technology solutions over multichannel B2B iGaming for online and mobile gaming on all platforms, GrooveOn captures the entire B2B iGaming value chain.
Thanks to a wide range of carefully chosen game partners, GroovePlay continues to expand its library of games by over 100 each month. These games span bingo, sports betting, casino games, and content suitable for lottery providers. They also contain tried-and-tested classics as well as the most recent releases on the market.
Last year, Groove celebrated six years of offering turnkey and aggregation services to operators. Groove also keeps strengthening its ties to a wide range of stakeholders, such as payment processors, automated KYC, affiliate networks, artificial intelligence, and the best game developers in the world.
Groove’s Product Manager Shay Kababia said: “We have created this new tool so that operators with multiple brands will have a unique lobby for each brand based on key metrics. Our development team has pulled out all the stops to put Groove in a leading position with this introduction. It is already having an impact in our operator cluster.”
Yahale Meltzer, COO and co-founder at Groove, added: “Shay and his team have been instrumental in allowing us to realise our mission of improving service to our operator cluster. With the introduction of our new data-driven ‘Recommender’ tool, we are once again breaking the mould and upgrading how operators and their casino brands interact with the market.”

Tonybet player in Canada claims $20,000 CAD golden World Cup card prize
Tonybet says a player in Laurier-Station, Canada has claimed the “golden card” prize worth $20,000 CAD in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection. The announcement was made Tuesday 21st July 2026.
The World Cup collection featured 51 cards in total, including 48 digital cards representing participating World Cup nations, plus three unique prize cards in bronze, silver and gold. Tonybet said the bronze card—available during the group stage—was previously found by a customer in Saint-Colomban, Canada, while the silver card—available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals—was won by a player in County Kildare, Ireland.
The golden card became available for the semi-final, third-place play-off and final, and has now been claimed, Tonybet said.
Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “You can plan a campaign down to the last detail, but you can’t plan what the World Cup brings.
“We designed the collection to evolve with the tournament, and every knockout round created new stories we couldn’t have predicted. Seeing players complete their collections and discovering who would uncover each prize was the most rewarding part of the campaign.
“I hope everyone enjoyed the experience for what it was meant to be: a fun addition to the tournament, played responsibly and always within their limits.”
Tonybet said the collection will remain open until 31 July for players who are still completing sets and spending coins, although all grand prizes have been awarded.
