Rapidly growing operator pens long-term partnership with SBTech to continue high growth in UK and Europe

SBTech, the leading technology supplier to the regulated iGaming sector, has agreed a long-term sportsbook platform extension with Argyll Entertainment, enabling the multi-brand operator to leverage SBTech’s cutting-edge technology and continue its sustained growth in the UK and Europe.

Argyll Entertainment, winners of the Innovative Start-up of the Year at the 2018 EGR Marketing & Innovation Awards, has seen exponential growth since migrating to SBTech’s award-winning sportsbook and iGaming platform in 2017.

In committing to a five-year extension, Argyll Entertainment’s premium Sportnation brand will be able to further utilise SBTech’s next-generation APIs to build its own differentiated user interface, unique user experiences and front-end features, initially for the UK market.

In addition, the brand will continue to benefit from SBTech’s full gaming turnkey solution, a fully integrated customer management platform and risk management services.

This extension further cements SBTech as the go-to B2B technology partner of choice for premier sports betting and gaming brands in Europe and an accelerator for rapid market growth, driving significant growth for its tier one customers across both established and newly regulated markets in recent years.

The multi award-winning SBTech platform enables its partners to deliver best-in-class products and differentiated user experiences to players, both in established and emerging territories through a fully localised solution. Combined with one of the industry’s most powerful bonus engines and extensive responsible gaming tools, partners enjoy above-market growth rates across Europe.

Andrew Cochrane, Chief Development Officer, SBTech, said: “We’re delighted to sign another major long-term sportsbook and iGaming platform contract extension. Argyll are a rapidly growing force in sports betting, and the combination of our industry-leading technology and their ambitious goals for the next five years, and innovative marketing, will continue to see them achieve further success launching new and existing brands into the UK and other international regulated markets.”

Stuart Tilly, CEO, Argyll Entertainment, said: “Our partnership with SBTech has proven a huge success, enabling us to offer our players unique and highly memorable sports betting experiences, and I’m thrilled that we will continue to grow together for a further five years as we look to build on record revenues and push forward into new territories.”

“Stories”, a new feature design to elevate sportsbook engagement and promotional visibility from BETBY

Published

on

“stories”,-a-new-feature-design-to-elevate-sportsbook-engagement-and-promotional-visibility-from-betby

BETBY, the leading sportsbook provider, has announced the launch of Stories, a new feature designed to transform how operators present promotions and key events to their players.

Inspired by the widely adopted Stories format seen across social media platforms, the feature introduces a familiar, intuitive way for bettors to discover and engage with content directly within the sportsbook interface.

As competition for user attention continues to intensify, operators face the ongoing challenge of delivering promotions and updates in a way that cuts through the noise without overwhelming the user experience.

Stories addresses this by offering a dynamic, swipeable format that brings key content — such as bonuses, tournaments, major sporting events, and boosted odds — into a more engaging and accessible space.

Fully integrated into BETBY’s sportsbook environment, Stories enables bettors to seamlessly browse through short, interactive content cards, mirroring the mechanics they already use daily on social platforms.

This familiarity plays a key role in driving immediate interaction, lowering the barrier to engagement, and creating additional touchpoints between operators and their users.

By introducing a format that naturally encourages exploration, Stories helps increase visibility across promotional campaigns while supporting higher engagement rates.

Each new Story acts as a trigger for curiosity, prompting users to click through and discover new offers or events, ultimately contributing to improved promo turnover.

The feature feels particularly intuitive to younger demographics, who are already accustomed to this style of interaction.

By aligning sportsbook UX with established digital behaviors, BETBY allows operators to connect with these audiences in a more organic and impactful way.

Stories is about meeting users where they already are, in terms of how they consume content,” said Aglaja Geta, Head of UX & Analytics at BETBY.

We wanted to introduce a format that feels instantly familiar, while giving operators a powerful new way to highlight their most important promotions and events.

It creates a smoother, more engaging experience that encourages interaction without adding complexity to the platform.

From an operational perspective, Stories offers a streamlined way to enhance the front-end experience without requiring structural changes to the sportsbook.

The feature integrates seamlessly, allowing operators to enrich their content strategy while maintaining a clean and intuitive interface.

About BETBY

BETBY is a leading B2B provider of top-tier sports betting services, renowned for its groundbreaking technology and dedication to excellence.

BETBY’s team of industry veterans tap into their knowledge and expertise to deliver a premium, adaptable, and scalable sportsbook platform tailored to meet the varied demands of operators across the globe.

Aviator LLC

Aviator Studio Brazil wins two consecutive instances in São Paulo appeal court against SPRIBE injunction

  • Another attempt by SPRIBE to mislead the industry fails as two consecutive instances reject requested injunction
  • Decision allows Aviator Brasil to continue operating while the court examines the broader AVIATOR trademark dispute

 Aviator Studio Brazil has secured two consecutive court decisions in São Paulo, Brazil, rejecting attempts by SPRIBE to impose an injunction on its operations.

The rulings, delivered by the São Paulo Court of Appeals (2nd Reserved Chamber of Business Law) on 16 April, were in favour of the defendants overall. The court rejected the injunction request against the group, allowing Aviator Studio Brazil to continue operating in the market with partners such as Foggo Entertainment (Blaze) while the broader trademark dispute is examined through the normal judicial process.

Contextualising Separate Proceedings

This victory in the group proceedings follows an announcement by SPRIBE on 15 April regarding a separate matter involving NSX Betnacional. Aviator LLC clarified that neither the company nor the operator were aware of those specific proceedings initially. As soon as that separate matter became known, Aviator Studio Brazil immediately took action to assume responsibility for defending the legitimate use of the brand, providing NSX Betnacional with all legal support required.

Key Court Findings

The Court of Appeals based its decision on the following key findings:

  • Lack of likelihood of success on the merits: While SPRIBE claims exclusive ownership of the “AVIATOR” trademark, the court found substantial controversy regarding the validity of those rights both domestically and internationally.
  • Absence of irreparable harm: The court determined there is no imminent or irreparable harm that would justify immediate intervention.
  • Valid licensing: The court emphasised that Aviator Studio Brazil has been commercially operating under the “AVIATOR” mark based on a licence from Aviator LLC, the regularity and effects of which shall be examined during the proceedings.

Protecting the AVIATOR Ecosystem

Aviator Studio Brazil joined the proceedings and supported its operator partners, including Foggo Entertainment (Blaze) by fulfilling all indemnity and defence obligations under its Software Licence Agreement.

The company has affirmed that it stands fully behind its partners, taking responsibility to defend, indemnify, and hold them harmless in relation to the use of the AVIATOR brand and product. This reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to protecting its partners and the integrity of the AVIATOR ecosystem.

In relation to the NSX Betnacional matter, Aviator LLC confirmed that neither it nor Betnacional were aware of the proceedings initially.

As soon as the matter became known, Aviator Studio Brazil immediately took action to support its partner Betnacional and assume responsibility for defending the legitimate use of the AVIATOR brand.

International Context

Aviator LLC stated that these outcomes reinforce its long-standing position that attempts to secure early-stage injunctions are not reflective of the merits of the case. This follows earlier proceedings in the United Kingdom High Court, where an interim injunction obtained by SPRIBE was clarified as a narrow procedural step with no bearing on ownership or the final outcome of the dispute.

With no findings made against Aviator LLC’s underlying rights in Brazil and courts declining to grant urgent relief, the company continues its operations while remaining confident in its legal position as proceedings progress across multiple jurisdictions.

Commenting on the decision, George Pruidze, CEO at Aviator Studio, said: “Following two consecutive victories in both the trial court and appeal courts in São Paulo, it is clear there is no basis for the urgent measures sought by SPRIBE. Aviator Studio Brazil continues to operate lawfully under licence, and we remain fully committed to supporting our partners and defending the AVIATOR brand wherever necessary.

“As similar actions by SPRIBE continue to trigger proceedings in Brazil, including the ongoing matter involving Betnacional, we will continue to stand behind our partners and ensure the legitimate use of the AVIATOR brand is protected. We are confident that the same facts and legal position will continue to prevail as these cases progress.”

The power of sweepstakes: how Infingame brings strategic value to the iGaming market

Published

the-power-of-sweepstakes:-how-infingame-brings-strategic-value-to-the-igaming-market

Infingame is strengthening its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the iGaming industry, leveraging deep expertise in sweepstakes to help operators and game developers unlock new growth opportunities.

Over the past year, sweepstakes have moved from a niche concept to a major focus area, particularly in North America, where the model has gained significant traction across the US, with growing interest in markets such as Canada and Australia. This momentum is being driven by a fundamental shift in how players engage with gaming products.

“Sweepstakes introduce a different kind of experience,” said Dmytro Kryvorchuk, COO at Infingame. “By using token-based systems, the focus moves away from immediate financial outcomes and towards entertainment, progression, and longer player sessions.”

Infingame has positioned itself as a bridge between traditional iGaming and the sweepstakes ecosystem. While its aggregation platform connects operators to over 150 game providers, only a limited number currently offer sweepstakes-adapted content. To address this gap, Infingame works closely with studios to support the transition.

“Developing for sweepstakes is not a simple port of existing games,” Dmytro Kryvorchuk noted. “Studios must rethink everything, from language and UX to mechanics and compliance. Terms like ‘bet’ or ‘cash’ often need to be replaced entirely, and dual-currency logic must be built into the core experience.”

Infingame supports this process through technical integration, regulatory guidance, and a streamlined API that allows developers to adapt and scale content efficiently. The company has also played an active role in mentoring providers through the adaptation process, accelerating their entry into the sweepstakes market and expanding the available content pool for operators.

This collaborative approach has enabled Infingame to build a strong foothold in North America, working alongside some of the region’s largest sweepstakes operators. As a result, new clients can be onboarded quickly, with access to relevant content and practical expertise from day one.

A key differentiator lies in Infingame’s role beyond aggregation. The company acts as a strategic partner, helping operators navigate the complex and often fragmented regulatory landscape. In North America, where requirements vary significantly between states, compliance remains a central challenge.

“We don’t just provide content, we help operators understand how to structure their platforms correctly,” Kryvorchuk said. “That includes everything from choosing the right mechanics and terminology to connecting them with legal advisors, payment providers, and financial partners who specialise in sweepstakes.”

As the market matures, Infingame continues to invest in expanding its sweepstakes offering. The company is actively onboarding new providers, sharing market insights, and supporting studios in navigating regulatory nuances.

At the same time, Infingame is enhancing its engagement toolkit. Early results have shown measurable increases in player activity and retention, particularly in reactivating dormant users. Building on this momentum, new features such as Challenges are being rolled out to give operators additional ways to drive engagement and differentiate their offering in an increasingly competitive space.

By combining content, technology, and hands-on expertise, Infingame is helping shape the future of sweepstakes, transforming it from an emerging trend into a sustainable, high-value segment of the global iGaming industry.
