Super Group, the parent company of Betway, a leading online sports betting and gaming business, and Spin, the multi-brand online casino, announced that, following the completion of an extensive internal review, the company intends to undertake an exit plan for its sportsbook product in the US.

The company, along with relevant regulators and partners, will shortly begin the process to fully close its U.S. sportsbook operations in the nine states in which it is currently live. Super Group will, however, maintain its iGaming presence in the US and plans to operate two iGaming brands from its Spin portfolio (including Jackpot City) in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Chief Executive Officer Neal Menashe said: “As a global business, we constantly evaluate the optimal use of our resources across all markets in which we operate. We have recently concluded an extensive review of our U.S. operations and, at present, we do not see a long-term path to profitability for the sportsbook product.

“The vast majority of Super Group’s revenue is generated in iGaming and, in line with that strategy, we will continue to offer our leading casino product in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We are open to expanding our U.S. footprint if the right investment or strategic opportunities arise.”

Blask Awards 2025: Betano, Bet365, Betway and others lead global iGaming

The global results of the Blask Awards 2025 mark a decisive shift in how leadership is defined in the iGaming industry. Instead of juries, submissions or sponsorship packages, the awards rely entirely on data, measuring real demand, competitive strength and scalable performance across regulated markets worldwide.

At the center of this year’s global rankings stands Betano, which emerged as the most consistently dominant licensed operator across multiple continents. But the broader picture is more complex: a market where leadership fragments by region, speed of growth matters as much as scale, and games increasingly outperform brands in cross-border reach.

“Data is the jury,” said Max Tesla, co-founder and CEO of Blask. “In Blask Awards, brands don’t compete with those who submitted a form, they compete with the entire market”

Global operator rankings

Across worldwide categories, Betano claimed a commanding share of top honors:

Leader of the Blask Year, awarded to the operator with the highest total number of Blask Awards in 2025
Top CEB Performer, recognizing the strongest aggregate revenue baseline across regulated markets
Blask Index Leader, reflecting the highest cumulative demand across licensed geographies
Demand Surge of the Year, for the single largest 30-day demand increase recorded globally

Other global distinctions highlight how varied leadership has become:

Fastest-Growing Brand: MrQ, posting the strongest year-over-year growth in demand
Baseline Breakout: LakiWin, delivering the fastest increase in revenue baseline
Top #1 Footprint: betPawa, holding the largest number of #1 market positions globally
The Monopolist: Singapore Pools, achieving the single highest market power concentration in a regulated market

Together, the results show that global leadership is no longer defined by size alone. Momentum, efficiency and consistency increasingly matter as much as footprint.

Games and providers: global reach beats local borders

If operator leadership fragments by geography, games tell a different story.

In provider and game categories, Pragmatic Play dominated the global rankings, driven by the extraordinary reach of Gates of Olympus 1000, which won: Operator Footprint Champion, Lobby Legend, Slot of the Year

Pragmatic Play also secured Largest Catalog Provider and Full-Shelf Takeover, reflecting unmatched breadth and distribution.

Other game-level winners highlight emerging dynamics:

Game Demand Leader: Chicken Road by InOut Games
Breakout Game of the Year: Roulette European by 7777 gaming
Crash Game of the Year: Aviator by Spribe

Unlike operators, games increasingly scale globally, with player preferences converging across continents.

A different kind of award — and a long-term play

Blask Awards operate without applications, fees, sponsorships or jury voting. Winners are identified algorithmically, using Blask’s proprietary metrics — including Blask Index, BAP and CEB — across regulated markets only.

“This isn’t about trophies,” Tesla said. “It’s about creating a shared, verifiable language for the industry: one where anyone can open the data and see why a brand won. We’re not stopping here. Each year, the coverage gets wider, the benchmarks sharper, and the comparison fairer.”
