Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has launched Big Adventures, its most extensive network campaign to date, supported by a €2.5m prize pool.

Spanning nine months from June 2025 to February 2026, the initiative combines monthly tournaments with four rotating phases, enhanced by Wheel of Fortune events and daily Prize Drops to keep players consistently engaged.

Monthly prize pools range from €200,000 to €500,000, scaling during peak periods such as the winter holidays. Each phase features varied win mechanics, including Sum Multiplier, Total Win, and Total Spins, offering broad appeal across player types and gameplay preferences.

The campaign spotlights a monthly rotation of Evoplay’s high-performing titles, such as Hot Triple Sevens: Hold & Win, Cat’s Blessing, and The Greatest Catch, allowing operators to showcase a diverse content mix throughout the promotion.

To further incentivise participation, Big Adventures introduces long-term player rewards. The Quarterly Player Giveaway will award an iPhone Pro Max to three top-performing players every three months.

Simultaneously, the campaign will culminate in a Grand Mega Prize: an all-expenses-paid luxury trip to the Maldives, awarded via random draw to one of the top 100 players on the final leaderboard.

With in-platform widgets, automated push notifications, and a full suite of promotional assets, Big Adventures is built to help operators attract, retain, and reward players at scale while delivering a high-impact experience across multiple regions.

Diana Larina, Head of Marketing at Evoplay, said: “Big Adventures is one of our most ambitious initiatives so far, not just in terms of prize value, but also in how it supports our operators.

Playtech PLC has struck an agreement to exit its Happybet online gambling and retail betting unit in Germany.

The gambling software company had closed the Austrian Happybet business in the second half of 2024 and in March of this year, said it kicked off a process to sell the remainder of the unit in Germany.

The move was in line with its aim to sharpen its focus as a “predominantly pure-play business-to-business operator”.

It has now struck a deal with NetX Betting Ltd, a subsidiary of Frankfurt-listed betting group pferdewetten.de AG.

Dusseldorf-based pferdewetten.de will have the chance to contact franchise partners of Happybet shops in Germany.

“As part of this agreement, pferdewetten.de will also assume ownership of certain associated hardware,” Playtech said.

“There will now be a transition period to allow pferdewetten.de to negotiate with the relevant franchise partners and for the relevant regulatory approvals to be sought from the competent authorities in Germany. It is intended that any remaining Happybet assets not transferred to, or assumed by, pferdewetten.de will cease operations and, where relevant, will be wound up.”

Playtech shares fell 0.8% to 319.85 pence each in London on Wednesday morning.

At the end of last month, Playtech completed the sale of Snaitech Spa to Flutter Entertainment PLC for EUR2.30 billion.

The Isle of Man-based firm said the completion of the deal allowed it to focus on its technology-led offering in high-growth business-to-business gambling markets.
