Videoslots goes live with RAW iGaming in Ontario
Operator partners with leading provider in Canadian province
Online operator Videoslots is to roll out award-winning content from RAW iGaming in Ontario after teaming up with the studio to provide greater choice to players in the region.
RAW iGaming’s Raging Super2Ways was the 10,000th title released by Videoslots last month, paving the way for a deal to be agreed between the two parties.
Videoslots entered Ontario in June having carved out a formidable reputation in Europe as a leading online casino and recently went live with its first TV campaign, which will enhance the operator’s presence in the territory.
Some of RAW iGaming’s most successful titles, including Big Money Bass, Rise of Shinobi and Ave Caesar DynamicWays, are now all readily available across Ontario, all of which continue to prove popular with users.
Since being established in 2011, Videoslots provides players with an unrivalled variety of slots from industry-leading providers across the globe, retaining the honour of being called the world’s largest online casino.
Ulle Skottling, Deputy CEO at Videoslots, said: “To partner with one of Ontario’s leading iGaming providers is fantastic for Videoslots as we look to become market leaders in terms of our choice of games.
“RAW iGaming launched our 10,000th title and we are delighted that our relationship with them will continue to grow within Canada.”
Tom Wood, CEO at RAW iGaming, said: “Videoslots are an award-winning operator and who better to partner with than the biggest operator globally.
“Our portfolio continues to expand across Ontario and the launch with Videoslots will undoubtedly boost the outreach of our titles.”
Playson has launched BLASTS & RACES, a new global network campaign carrying a €25,000,000 prize pool. The supplier announced the rollout on 1 July 2026, with the campaign running until 30 June 2027.
The initiative follows Playson’s previous Non-Stop Drops & Races edition, which the company said generated record participation from operators and players worldwide. Playson said the new prize pool is up from €10,000,000 in the previous edition.
Operators can opt in at any time during the year-long period, and Playson said no additional integration is required. The company positioned the campaign as a retention tool built around its network engagement mechanics and a mix of top-performing and newly released titles.
As part of the refresh, Playson has renamed several campaign features. Cash Blast is now Power Blast, Tournaments have been renamed Grand Races, and Short Races are now Turbo Races. Playson said the underlying mechanics and integration approach remain unchanged.
Waldemar Antypov, Product Owner at Playson, said: “BLASTS & RACES represents a significant milestone in the evolution of our flagship network campaign, and we are delighted to officially launch it to operators and players around the world.
“Following the outstanding success of previous editions, we have increased the rewards budget from €10 million to €25 million to deliver even greater value across the network. Combined with our trusted engagement mechanics, refreshed campaign identity and seamless operator integration, BLASTS & RACES is designed to keep players engaged with exciting opportunities to win throughout the year.”

The Visualize Group has agreed to acquire eCOGRA, a gaming testing, inspection, certification and compliance (TICC) provider, from Hanover Investors Management LLP, the private investment firm said in a Business Wire announcement from New York and London.
eCOGRA, founded in 2003 and headquartered in London, provides compliance and certification services for iGaming customers and works with gaming software suppliers, platform operators and online gaming regulators in more than 50 jurisdictions worldwide. The company will continue under its existing leadership, with Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) Will Shuckburgh remaining in his role.
Visualize said eCOGRA is its second investment in the gaming TICC sector following its earlier closing of BMM Testlabs (“BMM”) this year. The firm said BMM and eCOGRA have complementary strengths, with BMM spanning a broader testing and certification spectrum and eCOGRA focused on the digital gaming segment. Visualize added that each company will continue to operate as an independently accredited business.
Will Shuckburgh, CEO of eCOGRA, said, “For more than two decades, eCOGRA’s mission has been to ensure that players can trust the games they play and that operators can meet the highest standards of compliance. As regulated gaming expands into new markets around the world, the demand for fast, rigorous, and reliable certification has never been greater. Partnering with Visualize gives us the resources to serve our customers better — to invest in our people, our technology, and our capacity — while continuing to operate with the independence and integrity that our accreditation partners and customers expect.”
C. C. Melvin Ike, Founder and Managing Partner of Visualize, said, “As high-conviction thematic investors, we back exceptional businesses and management teams providing mission-critical services in growing markets, and we build deep expertise in the sectors to which we commit. Building on our experience in regulated gaming, the independent testing and certification that both eCOGRA and BMM provide is fundamental to protecting players and sustaining the trust of regulators, and the two businesses bring distinct capabilities across online and land-based gaming. With eCOGRA, our intention is straightforward: to build eCOGRA into a generational business that can deliver faster, more responsive, and more innovative service to a fast-growing market that needs more high-quality service. We’re thrilled to partner with Will and the entire eCOGRA team.”
Financial terms were not disclosed. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and clearances. Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and Greenberg Traurig acted as legal advisors for Visualize, while Macquarie Capital served as financial advisor for Hanover and eCOGRA, with Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP as their legal advisor.

BVGroup’s opt-in Epic Community Jackpot has paid out nearly £1 million to 501 customers across its UK iGaming brands, following a drop on June 30, 2026. ThrillTech, which supplied the jackpot technology, said the payout is the first UK “Community Jackpot” of its kind.
The main winner, playing on BetVictor’s online casino, received £488,035.59. BVGroup said 500 additional players across BetVictor, Heart Bingo, Smooth Spins, Betano, Parimatch and TalkSPORTBET each received £976.07 from the same prize pool.
According to the companies, the jackpot was configured to allocate 50% of the total prize to the main winner and distribute the remaining 50% across contributing players, using ThrillTech’s ThrillPots engine. Peter Mareš, Chief Technical Officer at ThrillTech, said: “This is the first community jackpot of its kind in the UK, enabling operators to reward hundreds or even thousands of players with a single jackpot instead of just one. Distributing these payouts at scale requires absolute precision. Our robust technology effortlessly handles the complex mathematics and has advanced protocols in place to ensure that all payouts are delivered exactly as intended.”
The companies also pointed to a previous payout on BetVictor’s “The Jackpots” product last month, when a single BVGroup player won £1,531,130, also powered by ThrillPots. Side bet, opt-in jackpot prize pools are player funded and sit on top of base casino games or sports wagering activity, with this implementation designed to distribute a single drop across a wider pool of contributors.
