Parimatch Holding, the global betting and technology company, today announces that it has appointed Dmitry Sergeev as CEO of Parimatch’s newly created CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) division. Sergeev’s appointment forms part of Parimatch’s plans for further expansion in its main markets.

Sergeev will lead Parimatch’s CIS business with the support of a team of Parimatch professionals, to consolidate Parimatch’s position as the market leader in the CIS and deliver on Parimatch’s corporate strategy, as the business looks to deepen and broaden its technology offering and expertise.

Through this updated corporate structure, the focus will be on maximizing interaction between all company divisions across the Asian and Eastern European markets where the Parimatch brand is represented. With this new model of close collaboration, the Parimatch network will be more closely aligned through the sharing of best practice and successful initiatives across R&D, communications, digital, product development and other areas.

Sergeev joined Parimatch Russia* in 2019 as CEO. Under his management the company quadrupled its growth, and the team also carried out a number of outstanding brand activations. Sergeev is a well-known media manager with over 15 years of experience in marketing, business development and commerce. In 2005, he founded the sports portal “Championship”, which has become one of the largest sports media companies in Russia and the CIS.

From 2016 to 2019, Sergeev was also the CEO of bwin in Russia, responsible for establishing the company as the first international player in Russia. In 2019, he took one of the top spots in the Annual Top 1000 Russian Managers rating, compiled by the Association of Managers with the support of Kommersant Publishing House. At the end of 2019, Sergeev earned Parimatch a “Discovery of the Year” award at the international award “Bispo Awards”.

With Sergeev taking on the role of CEO of Parimatch CIS, Ruslan Medved, currently Deputy CEO of Parimatch Russia*, who joined the brand in April this year, will take on the position of Managing Director of Parimatch Russia.

Dmitry Sergeev, CEO of Parimatch CIS: “Many thanks to the entire Parimatch team in Russia. Together we have made a huge breakthrough, becoming one of the most prominent betting companies in the country. New challenges await, because our ambition to become one of the top three operators in the CIS region is now being put on the fast track!

As CEO of Parimatch CIS I will be focusing on strengthening brand presence, developing and implementing new technical solutions, and ensuring the company’s number one priority is innovation. We must stay one step ahead and set new trends to excite and entertain our customers.”

Sergey Portnov, CEO of Parimatch Holding: “Parimatch is defined as a business by its bold ambitions, and we are set on becoming the leading betting provider in all the markets in which we operate. The CIS is a key region for us, and I know from his success in heading up Parimatch Russia, that Dmitry will provide strong leadership for Parimatch CIS at what is a truly exciting time for the wider business – as we invest in our technology capabilities to deliver innovative and seamless experiences to our two million strong customer base.”

eGaming Integrity has been named Independent Online Gambling Assurance Provider of the Year 2026 at the UK Enterprise Awards, organised by SME News. The company is based in the Isle of Man and works with operators in regulated online gambling markets.

According to the company, the award recognises its assurance work aimed at helping gambling operators evaluate whether their compliance processes are prepared for regulated market requirements, as regulatory expectations increase around compliance standards and customer protection.

eGaming Integrity said its internal audit reviews assess how gambling businesses operate in practice, including whether procedures and controls meet standards expected by regulators. The company added that the process is designed to help operators identify where controls are effective and where improvements may be needed before issues emerge.

Emma Shilling, Director at eGaming Integrity, said,

“This award recognises the reason eGaming Integrity was created. Responsible operators want to know where they stand before problems appear, and independent assurance provides that outside perspective.

“Our team has seen regulation from both sides, which helps us understand where processes can break down and how operators can make practical improvements.”

Speaking on the accomplishments of the 2026 winners, Laura O’Carroll, Awards Manager, said,

“The announcement of our UK Enterprise Awards is perhaps one of our most anticipated milestones every year, and the 2026 launch is no different. We are truly pleased to deliver our digital magazine and winners list, showcasing such excellence, to our readers again this year. Atop this, to our winners, and from our team to yours, we wish you all a sincere congratulations on your success in this year’s programme.”

Booming Games has launched Tasty Bonanza Max Scatter, a new online slot released on 16 July 2026 from the supplier’s Malta base. The title is the second game in its Max Scatter series and uses a 6×4 grid with Scatter Pays, cascading wins and a stated maximum win potential of 15,000x.

The game pays when eight or more of the same symbol land. Winning symbols are removed and remaining symbols cascade down, with new symbols dropping in until no further wins are formed.

Free Spins are triggered by landing four or more Scatter symbols, including Scatters and Max Scatters, awarding 10 Free Spins. During the bonus, Random Multipliers can appear with values from 2x to 100x and remain active until the cascade sequence ends, after which multiplier values are combined and applied to the total win. Three or more Scatter symbols during Free Spins add five additional spins, while the feature ends if the max win is awarded.

Booming Games also includes Bonus Buy options priced at 100x the bet amount and a “Super Buy Bonus” at 500x, which the company says offers multipliers from 15x to 100x. A BOOST+ option increases the bet by 25% and increases the chance of triggering bonus features.

Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “Tasty Bonanza Max Scatter is a great example of how we’re innovating within one of our top performing franchises. By adding exciting new Max Scatter mechanics to one of our most popular slots, we are confident the game will appeal to players looking for top-quality entertainment and high-stakes gameplay.”
