TVBET bets on GrooveGaming to stimulate additional rapid growth
Live-games provider, TVBET, has secured advanced aggregator GrooveGaming as a content partner, giving TVBET a growth boost on the back of this latest deal which will add further differentiation in a competitive marketplace. The news comes after a busy start to the year by GrooveGaming, which recently revealed several new partnerships.
GrooveGaming has had a purple patch over the last year 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.
TVBET’s fast live-games include popular and well-known TV, lottery and card games with a modern twist and in a live format, creating a unique portfolio comprised of KENO, Poker- Bet, Backgammon, 21Bet, Wheel of Fortune, and JokerBet. In an impressively short amount of time, TVBET has become one of the leading global players in the vertical, bolstered by compelling game features like 3-level jackpots, cashback, and bonuses.
TVBET’s all-in-one product is designed in the form of fast live games where all the events are hosted by charming presenters. A single game lasts around three minutes, during which people can place their bets live or in advance on up to ten future events. TVBET is now broadcasting 11 live dealer games in ultra-high-definition, twenty-four hours a day.
TVBET has captured a significant market share in the niche of fast live-games for bookmakers and casino operators. In 2019, the TVBET team has received accolades from numerous organisations in Europe, such as the BEGE Expo, AGE, LoginCasino Awards, and were recently shortlisted in several categories at the SBC Awards and Global Gaming Awards.
Peter Korpusenko, CEO of TVBET said: “TVBET games are available through more than 100 partners across Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America, and we are delighted to reach terms with the world’s fastest-growing aggregator in GrooveGaming. While TVBET is a trendsetter for live-games, GrooveGaming has impressive strength-in-depth across multiple categories, so we feel we are a very good match together.”
Yahale Meltzer, COO at GrooveGaming said: “Innovation and game-changing technology are staples in the business mix at GrooveGaming, helping us to secure a string of successes in recent months. This partnership with TVBET, whose phenomenal growth in live-games mirrors our own, is an exciting step as we continue our growth strategy.”

CogniPlay Launches New Social Casino Platform
CogniPlay has launched its new software product, which aims to provide a robust online sweepstakes or social gaming platform to its clients. The system is designed to be modular, allowing customers to tailor their brand and offering to what they believe will give them optimal performance.
The CogniPlay system has several key integrations which help to deliver the product, including games integrations with the likes of Pragmatic Play, BetSoft, Mascot Gaming and many more, giving them 100s of games for their clients. There are other integration options for their customers to pick from too, including affiliate programme software, CRM platforms and associated products, KYC, ID verification, Geo-IP systems, Gamification and customer support.
They also have a very long and extensive development pipeline which will see the product offering develop at pace, giving clients an extensive list of options and USPs, and of course giving players a great user experience as a result.
As well as the platform itself the CogniPlay team, due to their considerable experience, also offer a whole host of managed services, with almost a menu that clients can choose from to fill any gaps in their own skillsets or experience.
CogniPlay’s Chief Executive Officer Allan Turner said: “We are very proud to take the CogniPlay product to market and are excited that people who want to start a new social or sweeps brand can get in touch with us to see what we can do for them, or in fact established brands that are unhappy with their existing provider.
“Our underlying principles are that we want to provide the most flexible platform in the space, to enable our clients to create the product they want to have, not for us to dictate the product to them. The two other main areas of focus are that we want to be the most future-proof product on the market with plans for any regulatory or legal changes that may arise in the future, and that we have all the right safeguards in place to ensure that we look after both our clients and players with our responsible gaming setup. This of course means having the right tech and processes in the key areas of KYC, Geo-IP tech, anti-money laundering, fraud, risk assessment and ID verification.”

The Mirage Hotel & Casino to Begin Transformation into Hard Rock Las Vegas on July 17, 2024
Hard Rock International (HRI) announced its plans to cease operations of The Mirage Hotel & Casino as of July 17, 2024, to begin the transformation of the property into the highly anticipated Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Guitar Hotel Las Vegas (HRHCLV).
Hard Rock will develop a new integrated resort featuring a nearly 700 ft. guitar-shaped hotel towering prominently in the center of the famous Las Vegas Strip.
“We’d like to thank the Las Vegas community and team members for warmly welcoming Hard Rock after enjoying 34 years at The Mirage. We’d also like to thank the Unions, community leaders, local and state government organizations and the Gaming Commission for their support and fair negotiations over the past year. Also, we are grateful to MGM for assisting with our transition,” Jim Allen, Chairman of Hard Rock International, said.
“While we pause for the incredible transformation of this iconic property, I’d like to thank all team members at The Mirage for their incredible commitment and helping us provide memorable experiences for our guests. We are planning to host collaborative hiring events with other employers in the Las Vegas community over the coming months. Connecting the thousands of talented Mirage team members who provide outstanding service with new employment opportunities is a top priority,” Joe Lupo, President of The Mirage, said.
HRHCLV is expected to double the current number of jobs at The Mirage for the Las Vegas community, while the renovation of the property will generate over 2500 construction jobs. Hard Rock will pay approximately $80 million in severance packages for eligible union and non-union employees remaining with the property through cessation of operations.
