Octoplay is now live in Michigan across BetMGM, FanDuel, Fanatics, and Rush Street Interactive, marking the company’s second U.S. state and largest coordinated market entry to date. The simultaneous go-live with four tier-one operators arrives less than six months after Octoplay’s United States debut in New Jersey.

Since its founding in October 2022, Octoplay has secured active licenses across thirteen regulated jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, New Jersey, Ontario, Michigan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Malta, Italy, Greece, Romania, and Slovakia. Michigan extends that momentum into the U.S. As one of the top three states by iGaming revenue, it represents a significant market, and Octoplay enters it with four tier-one operators live from day one.

“Just months after our New Jersey debut, Michigan represents the next phase of our U.S. expansion,” says Ralitsa Georgieva, Director of Business Development at Octoplay. “Launching simultaneously with four leading operators shows the confidence the market has in our content. We expect to carry this momentum into additional states throughout 2025.”

Earlier this year, Octoplay ranked first among U.S. rising suppliers by overall index in H1 according to Eilers & Krejcik, underscoring the company’s accelerating trajectory. With Michigan now live and additional state applications in progress, Octoplay is positioned to extend its North American footprint throughout 2025 and beyond.

Ludus Games, a new studio dedicated to next-generation PvP gambling content, officially launches today and introduces its flagship real-money title, Battle Fury, built specifically for iGaming operators.

The studio focuses on PvP-by-design experiences, lightweight high-performance clients, and analytics-ready backends that boost engagement, session depth, and long-term value.

“Most gambling content still looks like single-player math models wearing a casino skin,” said Dmytro Paliants, Founder of Ludus Games. “We created Ludus to bring true competitive gameplay — short, intense real-time duels — into the iGaming world, while preserving the predictability, compliance, and margin operators require.”

Battle Fury: Real-Time PvP Engineered for iGaming

Short, intense matches that maximize bet cadence and repeat play
Head-to-head duels with real-time competitive outcomes
Lightweight Unity client optimized for mobile, tablet, and desktop

“Our goal is to make PvP as easy to operate as a slot,” added Paliants. “Operators get a stable, portfolio-level RTP around 90%, built-in competitive formats, and a client that feels like a top-tier mobile game. Players get skill-influenced competition — operators get predictable performance.”

Built for Operators: From Integration to Retention

Ludus Games provides a technology stack tailored for casino and sportsbook environments, including:

PvP-first formats that drive social stickiness and repeat sessions
High conversion & retention via competitive loops, streak mechanics, and ladders designed by mobile gaming veterans
Stable and responsible margin, with portfolio RTP configured at ~90%
Multi-platform reach with responsive UX for mobile, tablet, and desktop
Rapid go-to-market through fast skinning, localization, and lightweight API integration
