Greentube expands in Switzerland with Swiss Casinos deal

Greentube, the NOVOMATIC Interactive division, has further bolstered its presence in the newly-regulated online market in Switzerland after launching its premium slot titles with Swiss Casinos Group.
Swiss Casinos is the third operator in the country to take on Greentube’s popular content including Queen Cleopatra and Golden Games’ Super Cherry series which have all proven successful in Switzerland’s land-based casino sector. Top-performing titles like the widely popular Book of Ra™ deluxe, Lucky Lady’s Charm™ deluxe and Sizzling Hot™ deluxe will be added to the operator’s online offering in April 2020.
By partnering with Swiss Casinos, Greentube has strengthened its presence in Switzerland. The international supplier was one of the first to provide its services in the Swiss online market, following the introduction of new legislation in 2019 which enables the country’s land-based casinos to operate online.
Michael Bauer, Greentube CGO/CFO, said: “The Swiss online market is just under a year old and we are extremely pleased with how well received our games have been by both local operators and players. This deal with Swiss Casinos, a prominent operator in the territory, is an important step for us as we continue our growth strategy in the country which has quickly become one of our key markets. We look forward to our future partnership together.”
Patrick Mastai, Director of Online Casino at Swiss Casinos, said: “Greentube is known for offering an extensive portfolio of premium games that are extremely popular with players and we are excited about now being able to offer best-selling titles to our customers. We have no doubt that the addition of Greentube’s content will help reinforce our reputation as a leading operator of world-class entertainment in Switzerland.”

Reading Time: < 1 minute
The SYNOT Group will continue its cooperation with the BERANI ZLÍN hockey club as its main partner in the upcoming season. This builds on last year’s partnership, which became an important driver for the further development of hockey in Zlín.
The continued support from SYNOT is a clear signal that investment in sports remains one of the company’s priorities. Ice hockey is perceived as an essential part of community life, bringing joy to fans of all generations and inspiring young athletes to spend their free time actively.
The partnership will once again be reflected in the visibility of the SYNOT brand – from players’ jerseys to the ice rink and other club materials.
As one of the traditional names in Czech sports, the Zlín hockey club holds a special place in the country’s sporting landscape.

GGL Warns: Illegal Online Gambling Puts Young People in Particular at High Risk of Addiction

Reading Time: < 1 minute
Illegal gambling providers target their online offerings specifically at German players. However, without age controls, stake and deposit limits or blocking systems, the risk of gambling addiction can increase – especially among young people. On the occasion of the annual Gambling Addiction Action Day on September 24, 2025, the Joint Gambling Authority of the German States (GGL) issued a strong warning against such illegal offerings.
“Anyone who plays illegally plays without protection. Illegal platforms do not offer effective player protection mechanisms. Anyone who plays there runs a significant risk of developing a gambling addiction,” Ronald Benter, CEO of GGL, said.
Preventing gambling addiction is an important part of the GGL’s work. The authority focuses on three key aspects:
Information about risks and protective mechanisms,
Combating illegal offers that pose particular risks,
Control of legal providers to ensure that all player protection regulations are adhered to.
The task of the GGL is to consistently enforce the legal requirements of the State Treaty on Gambling with regard to player protection for permitted providers.
“Sports betting is a growing market; consistent oversight of legal providers, along with combating illegal betting services, is important to protect players and ensure legal certainty in the market,” said Sebastian Buchholz, head of the “Licensing and Supervision of Legal Gambling” department at GGL.
Gambling addiction develops gradually. Anyone who notices warning signs such as increasing stakes or social withdrawal should seek help early.
