GrooveGaming reports rapid uptake of live content and virtual sports
Aggregator GrooveGaming has reported a surge in demand for live content, with the leading aggregator having an impressive lineup of world-class brands on its platform to satisfy demand.
GrooveGaming has numerous live dealer titles amongst its on-demand live content and classy games including live roulette, baccarat, blackjack and live dedicated tables, amongst others. In addition, its virtual sports offering includes virtual football, tennis, horse-racing, cycling and greyhound racing, with virtual Euro basketball and cricket coming to the rapidly-expanding aggregator soon.
The surge in demand for live content has followed the curtailing of live sports worldwide due to COVID-19 and the closing of land-based casinos in numerous jurisdictions across the world. As a result, entertainment is now being offered in the form of live content and virtual sports to operators striving to meet player demand.
GrooveGaming is well placed with a robust live content range that encompasses some of the world’s leading live content and virtual sports brands, including LEAP Gaming, TVBET, Ezugi, VIVO Gaming, Lucky Streak, Super Spade, Evolution Gaming and SA Gaming. This is a powerhouse of live content that GrooveGaming has available to cater for this major change in industry dynamics caused by COVID-19.
The latest news comes after a record start to the year by GrooveGaming, which recently revealed several new partnerships, including live content and virtual sports partnerships.
GrooveGaming has impressed the igaming industry during the last 18-months announcing a multitude of new partnerships as the aggregator of choice for a host of big industry names including EveryMatrix, iGP, Digitain, ALEA and Quickfire, amongst others.
GrooveGaming’s powerful content platform includes over 2500 casino games as well as a wealth of aggregated content ranging from slots, online casino and live casino, to poker and table games, that operators can access via easy integration.
Created with the aim of easy and fast content delivery for the igaming industry, GrooveGaming has been hitting the headlines over the last 18-months, with a global growth trajectory that has impressively seen the brand reach all 6 continents, based on delivering rapid integrations and focusing on high-quality customer service, together with what remains an unrivalled set of technology tools that operators can use to improve productivity and bottom-line performance.
A major reason why GrooveGaming is becoming the aggregator of choice around the world is that GrooveGaming is powered by technology innovation which provides operators with the ability to activate a range of features that enhance customer experience and engagement, improve retention, encourage extended play and produce a higher yield.
Yahale Meltzer, COO at GrooveGaming said: “Virtual sports betting is one of the fastest-growing markets, and alongside live gaming, offers potentially limitless growth opportunities given the recent surge in demand from operators due to the global pandemic. New live content forms and new live products are suddenly driving new customers and markets, which for GrooveGaming is translating in the short-term to significant revenue and deeper relationships with operators. As we’ve said elsewhere, the phenomenal growth in live-games and virtual content mirrors our own, and is an exciting step as we continue our growth strategy. ”

DeGaming launches Web3 iGaming platform, names Ulle Skottling CEO
DeGaming has launched a Web3 iGaming platform and appointed Ulle Skottling as CEO, with the company positioning on-chain operations as a way to improve transparency across operators, affiliates and players.
The platform’s core product pitch is its proprietary “Glass Vault” technology, which DeGaming says provides real-time proof of funds and independently verifiable visibility of balances, transactions, and payouts.
DeGaming is also offering “Bankroll as a service,” routing transactions through its on-chain transaction engine to provide operators access to scalable liquidity for withdrawals and platform stability. The company said this is designed to reduce friction for operators trying to scale, while giving players visibility into the funds available on the platform.
The supplier said its unified platform combines game access, player account management (PAM) and reporting in a single blockchain-native operational engine. DeGaming added that operators can launch a customisable casino or sportsbook in “as little as two weeks,” including crypto and fiat deposits, automated payouts and a back-office.
Skottling joins as CEO to lead what DeGaming called its next phase. He has held senior roles at RAW iGaming, Videoslots and NetEnt. Skottling said: “The industry has evolved rapidly, but transparency and trust have not kept pace. It runs on what you can’t see, whereas we have built a platform that you can. We are challenging the model and defining the new standard for gaming infrastructure.
“Our Glass Vault technology gives operators, affiliates and players independently verifiable visibility into platform activity and funds in real time. The future of gaming will be built on openness, accountability and infrastructure that all participants genuinely trust.”
Emil Ahmed, co-founder of DeGaming, added: “Appointing Ulle as CEO is an important step in DeGaming’s next phase. We have built the platform around a clear belief that gaming needs more transparency, stronger infrastructure, and greater operational trust. Ulle brings the industry experience, commercial understanding, and leadership needed to take that vision to market and help operators launch with confidence.”
