Bragg Launches Big Ticket Bonanza Gamification Tool

Bragg Gaming Group announced the launch of the latest gamification-led innovation to its award-winning Fuze marketing and promotional toolset, Big Ticket Bonanza, a new way to engage with players through multiple targeted and bespoke campaigns.
Big Ticket Bonanza rewards players with guaranteed-win scratchcards, triggered randomly during normal gameplay. The scratchcards award instant cash prizes or raffle tickets, which are collected and entered into weekly or monthly prize draws.
Players collect tickets by wagering on participating casino games. The more they engage with the game, the more tickets they earn—boosting engagement without disrupting the core gaming experience.
The tool supports both weekly and monthly draws, giving operators flexibility in structuring prize pools and maintaining consistent momentum. Ticket counters update dynamically within the game interface or external campaign widgets, reinforcing progress and encouraging continued participation.
Offering a totally branded experience, campaigns are fully customisable to reflect the operator’s branding, including logos, colour schemes and thematic design elements.
At all points Big Ticket Bonanza offers fair and transparent draws, backed by secure RNG-based draw mechanisms that ensure compliance and fairness, with exportable logs for auditing.
Players can access their ticket counts, prize history, via an in-play dedicated display.
The launch comes as part of Bragg’s strategic investment in creating amazing iGaming experiences for players, illustrating how the work of suppliers can create positive experiences for players and ostensibly, deliver meaningful results for its operator partners.
Bragg champions a culture of iGaming excellence and constant innovation, not only to its gamechanging iGaming content portfolio, but also in its full service suite of technology solutions, excellence and innovation which creates a competitive advantage in the iGaming industry.
The Big Ticket Bonanza gamified player engagement campaign aims to boost player engagement and session time, while increasing wagering volume. It also provides a scalable promotion for both short bursts and longer-term brand events.
Bragg is targeting an aggressive roll-out strategy for Big Ticket Bonanza across its operational markets in Europe, the US and the LatAm region, opening up new opportunities for growth globally.
Launched with valued partner Senator Group in Croatia, which operates on the Bragg player account management (PAM) platform, Big Ticket Bonanza is now available to all of Bragg’s casino content, aggregation and PAM partners and presents a huge opportunity to engage with players.
Big Ticket Bonanza joins an ever expanding and constantly updated list of player engagement tools accessible through the Fuze player engagement toolset. Unlike static promotions, Fuze engagement mechanics adapted dynamically to player behaviour, ensuring continuous participation.
Other tools available within Fuze include tournaments with real-time leaderboards, quests, flash jackpots, sophisticated bonusing, free rounds and a games recommendation system powered by cutting-edge AI technology.
Matevž Mazij, Chief Executive Officer at Bragg Gaming Group said: “Innovation and excellence form the cornerstone of the Bragg approach to iGaming, and to ensure that our operator partners have the latest tools available in creating dynamic and fantastic experiences for their players.”
“Big Ticket Bonanza is the latest evidence of that focus, our commitment to investing in our products and presents a significant competitive advantage for Bragg as an iGaming supplier, an advantage that we’re looking to drive home globally.”
Croatian online operator Senator Group, a long-standing turnkey solutions partner of Bragg is among the first of Bragg’s operator partners to utilise Big Ticket Bonanza in their marketing strategy.
Vedran Maric, Head of iGaming at Senator Group, said: “Bragg has been a terrific partner to us in our transition from land-based to offering iGaming to our players, and their suite of products and technology have proven invaluable in this process.”
“We’re working collaboratively with Bragg to introduce Big Ticket Bonanza into our marketing, but I’m sure it will be well received by our players in the Croatian market.”

Swintt Joins Forces with TOPsport to Capitalize on Lithuanian Market

Swintt – the award-winning software provider behind recent slot sensations Big Max Pot Hunter and Big Fish – has announced it has formed a new partnership with established Lithuanian betting brand, TOPsport, that will see the studio further raise its profile in the country.
With the new deal now in place, Swintt is already live with 36 Premium releases on the TOPsport platform, with these giving players access to a roster of classically-themed games that combine the design elements of traditional land-based slots with exciting mechanics and bonus features.
Established in 2002, TOPsport is Lithuania’s first and largest gambling operator, boasting a strong bricks-and-mortar presence that includes 50 casino slot saloons spread across 26 towns in addition to its online enterprise. Given the brand’s rich land-based heritage, the SwinttPremium range seems to be ideally suited for its customers, who will enjoy the slots’ familiar look and feel.
Among the Premium options now available at TOPsport.lt, players will be particularly keen to try the acclaimed Extra Win X, which adds an innovative Bonus Wheel to the iconic fruit machine format, and Max The Winner, which features a unique gathering mechanic that sees the titular cartoon squirrel appear on the reels during the bonus feature to collect acorns and award prizes.
With these just being two of the standout examples from the new collection of Swintt slots that are now available at TOPsport.lt, the brand will be able to further cement its reputation as the country’s leading operator while Swintt continues to reach more players in the Lithuanian market.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “With TOPsport being Lithuania’s oldest and most-trusted betting brand, we’re delighted to be able to introduce our Premium releases to players on the platform. With all of these games offering themes and features that are inspired by traditional land-based slot machines, we’re sure they’ll prove a popular addition to their line-up.”
Linas Dargenavičius, Chief Commercial Officer at TOPsport, said: “With a diverse library of over 3,000 slot titles, TOPsport offers the most extensive selection of online casino games in Lithuania. The addition of SwinttPremium titles further strengthens our portfolio, bringing in games that resonate with players familiar with classic land-based machines. Their engaging mechanics make them a valuable extension of the experience we aim to provide.”

Ukrainian Security Service, NCEC and AUGO Shut Down 133 Illegal Online Casinos

Ukraine’s Security Service, the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection, the National Commission for the State Regulation of Electronic Communications, Radiofrequency Spectrum and the Provision of Postal Services (NCEC), and the Association of Ukrainian Gambling Operators (AUGO) have jointly blocked 133 illegal online casinos operating within Ukraine’s digital space.
According to AUGO’s press release on Tuesday, Derzhspetszviazok issued Directive No. 435/3236 on July 1, ordering the blocking of IP addresses and websites involved in illegal gambling. The directive was sent to internet providers and industry associations on July 3 and is mandatory for implementation within three working days—by July 8.
The association estimates that the joint operation disrupted a shadow business generating UAH 3 to 5 billion in illicit turnover every quarter.
Beyond blocking the sites with technical and software tools, the operation included broader organisational and technical efforts targeting the infrastructure that enabled these illegal platforms to function. Notably, unauthorised financial processing was halted, and associated P2P transactions were frozen.
“In chess terms – white has made the first move, and black is already losing pieces on the board… No, w’re not grandmasters yet. But this will be a decisive chess match, and we’re convinced the illegal players will eventually have no choice but to leave the game,” said AUGO President Oleksandr Kohut, as quoted in the press release.
He emphasised that illegal casinos – most of which now have ties to Russia – inflict direct harm on the Ukrainian state, legal businesses and its citizens. These sites, which are frequently cloned after being blocked, also pose a high risk of fraud and the leakage of players’ personal and financial data.
This marks the first time the Security Service, Derzhspetszviazok, and NCEC have actively partnered with AUGO on such an initiative. The association, which was launched three months ago, provided software, analytical and informational support for the operation to dismantle the illicit online gambling sector.
Kohut affirmed that AUGO remains committed to further collaboration with regulators – including the Ministry of Digital Transformation and the newly formed PlayCity agency – as well as with law enforcement to swiftly detect and shut down illegal casinos online. AUGO also plans to work with state regulators to inform media outlets of future blocking decisions as soon as they are made and communicated to telecom operators.
