Greentube supplies platform behind Starvegas.ch by Casino Interlaken
Greentube, the NOVOMATIC Interactive division, has provided the platform behind Starvegas.ch and launched a premium collection of titles with the online brand as part of a landmark collaboration with Switzerland’s Casino Interlaken.
Backed by Greentube’s exceptional platform technology, the operator’s new digital channel is the first in the newly regulated online market to feature the supplier’s classic slots, including titles like Book of Ra™ deluxe, Lucky Lady’s Charm™ and Sizzling Hot™ deluxe. Golden Games’ Super Cherry, the bestselling fruit game in Switzerland, is also available on Starvegas.ch, adding to the platform’s collection of titles that have a proven popularity in the land-based environment.
Greentube has quickly emerged as a leading supplier in Switzerland’s online sector after land-based operators were given the green light to launch casino websites last year. The partnership with Casino Interlaken, which now has rights to the StarVegas brand in the Swiss market, further boosts its local presence and visibility with players.
Thomas Graf, CEO of Greentube, said: “We are delighted to join forces with Casino Interlaken and to add a new strategic partner to our growing client portfolio in Switzerland. Together, we share the common goal to be a leader in technological advancement and innovation in this newly opened business area and we are looking forward to assisting Starvegas.ch in becoming a frontrunner in the online market.”
Oliver Grimm, CEO of Casino Interlaken AG, said: “Being able to offer some of the most popular casino titles with Swiss players will allow us to quickly gain market share as we launch into this exciting new space. With a wide variety of Greentube’s fruit and slot games which already have a strong reputation in the land-based sector, together with a state-of-the-art user interface and top promotion programme, we’re offering an online experience that excels in quality and innovation.”

New KSA Campaign: Get Your Life Back on Track, Take a Gambling Break
The Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) launched a new awareness campaign to draw attention to the gambling stop. With the campaign “Pick up your life again, take a gambling stop,” KSA is aiming to increase attention to the risks of gambling and make the Cruks register more well-known.
Insights
The campaign is a follow-up to the pilot campaign from 2023. This pilot yielded many valuable insights, for example that more people are attracted to the word gambling stop. This name is therefore used in the new campaign.
Positive effect
The campaign focuses primarily on young adults who (possibly) no longer have their gambling under control. That is one of the reasons why the campaign is largely running via social media instead of traditional (mass) media. The focus is on the positive effect that a gambling stop has on the life of a person with gambling problems. The powerful moments of young people who pick up their lives again can be seen in online videos, social ads and social posts (Google, YouTube, Meta and Snapchat).

EGBA: Record Participation As European Safer Gambling Week Expands to 26 Countries
The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) announced record-breaking results from its fourth annual European Safer Gambling Week, held 18-24 November. The initiative – which included a social media campaign and events programme – demonstrated the broader European sector’s strengthening commitment to safer gambling through new levels of participation and expanded geographic reach.
The campaign saw record engagement with 195 partners actively participating – a 20% increase from 2023. Eight national gambling authorities participated, more than double the previous year, by either joining the social media campaign or speaking at the various events.
The campaign’s reach also expanded significantly to 26 countries – a 30% increase from 2023 – with partners in Croatia, Serbia, Slovakia and Ukraine joining for the first time, reflecting the growing pan-European dimension of the campaign. This was helped by social media graphics being made available in the local languages of 27 countries.
The social media campaign reached 3.1 million users across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X platforms, generating 1169 social media posts – a 67% increase from the previous year.
A cornerstone of this year’s campaign was its comprehensive events programme, featuring 20 specialised events – an 11% increase from 2023. The events attracted record participation with 4500 registrations and 3000 attendees. Key discussions explored trends in AI, problem gambling prevalence reporting and innovations in safer gambling tools and messaging. The events featured 105 speakers, including senior representatives from gambling authorities in Belgium, Denmark, France and the UK.
The initiative builds on EGBA members’ year-round commitment to safer gambling, which in 2023 resulted in 67 million safety messages sent to their European customers. This dedicated week amplifies these ongoing efforts while encouraging greater collaboration between operators, regulators and harm prevention organisations.
“The success of this year’s edition reflects the sector’s deepening commitment to player protection. The significant increase in participation, especially from health organisations and regulatory authorities, demonstrates the common purpose and growing unity in our approach to safer gambling. Through this collaboration, we’ve reached a record number of Europeans with crucial safety messages during the campaign. Together, we’re making gambling safer and we already look forward to building on this success in next year’s edition,” said Maarten Haijer, Secretary General of EGBA.
