IGT Introduces Cashless Gaming in Sweden with IGTPay™ Technology

International Game Technology PLC announced that its cashless gaming technology is propelling the new era of gaming at Svenska Spel venues throughout Sweden. Through IGT’s INTELLIGEN technology, Svenska Spel players now have the option to easily and securely fund their play at Video Lottery Terminals (“VLTs”) from their mobile devices.
Svenska Spel’s recent launch of IGT’s INTELLIGEN VLT system and Quasar® VLTs enables players to use their mobile device to register for and log into VLTs by integrating with their individual, nationally available Digital BankID, paving the way for cashless gaming with the addition of IGTPay.
Now, with the deployment of IGTPay, players who are logged onto a Svenska Spel VLT are presented with the option to draw funds directly from their bank account through Swish, a widely used mobile payment service in Sweden that is owned by the banks. Players simply approve the transfer via their mobile device and start playing their favorite VLT games. This end-to-end process takes just seconds. Following completion of gameplay, Svenska Spel can return any available funds directly back to the player’s bank account automatically and instantaneously for a very progressive retail experience.
“Launching IGT’s cashless product provides our players with a reliable, cutting-edge cashless solution that connects directly with the Swish mobile app, helping us drive efficiencies while responsibly advancing the player experience,” said Magnus Lannersund, Director of VLT Operations, Svenska Spel AB. “IGT has been instrumental in our enterprise-wide modernization with solutions such as the Quasar VLT, the INTELLIGEN central system, our responsible gaming functions and now through their next-generation IGTPay cashless technology. This retail project was among the first of its kind in Sweden, enabling a retail business owner to return funds to a consumer’s bank account via a consumer’s mobile app. Svenska Spel is proud to be at the forefront of retail innovation especially when the need for cashless options for the post-COVID-19 era is more crucial than ever.”
“Svenska Spel is at the forefront of innovation with IGT’s cashless gaming solution. This groundbreaking technology introduces a contemporary consumer experience to land-based gaming in one of the most progressive societies in the world,” said Declan Harkin, IGT Senior Vice President and COO, International. “The combination of IGT’s INTELLIGEN and IGTPay products builds upon our payment expertise in the digital gaming and lottery segments to create a solution that enables players to enjoy the convenience and security of cashless gaming in retail.”
“As the relevance of cashless and contactless gaming innovations continues to grow, technologies such as IGT INTELLIGEN with IGTPay become critical components of the player experience, and solutions that can bring tremendous value to our global customers,” said Ryan Reddy, IGT Vice President, Systems and Payments Products. “We have established a dedicated Payments Team to ensure that customers such as Svenska Spel are equipped with IGT solutions and services that deliver modern payment options that align with consumer expectations and future business opportunities.”
IGT has been a Svenska Spel supplier of VLT technology since 2006. The Swedish state-owned gaming operator currently operates 4,750 IGT VLTs in gaming venues throughout the country, leverages the INTELLIGEN central system, and utilizes a vast range of IGT game content.

Independent evaluation highlights impact of Ygam’s parent programme

An independent evaluation has provided compelling evidence that Ygam’s work is effectively equipping families with the tools and knowledge to safeguard children from gaming and gambling harms.
The evaluation report, conducted by Sherbert Research, examined Ygam’s programme tailored for parents and carers, which includes online workshops, resources, and the Family Hub website.
The evaluation, assessed against Ygam’s comprehensive Theory of Change, found ‘strong evidence across all groups’ of increased understanding of gaming and gambling harms and their impact on behaviour change and the wellbeing of children and young people. It also highlighted that parents regard Ygam as a trusted source of support and information on these subjects.
After attending a Ygam workshop, parents expressed a deeper understanding of their role in supporting children and young people on these issues. The workshops were credited with reducing stigma around gaming and gambling harms and encouraging greater engagement from families. Many parents reported proactively understanding the risks and feeling empowered to start conversations with their children about gaming and gambling, putting boundaries in place before harm occurs.
While parents and professionals are increasingly aware of the risks associated with gaming, fewer recognise children’s potential exposure to gambling and gambling-like features, along with the related harms. The report reinforces that Ygam’s work plays a vital role in closing this critical knowledge gap through awareness raising, offering effective safeguarding tools, and providing the guidance and support required to create a safer digital home environment.
The programme was also commended for shifting perceptions around video gaming and microtransactions. They described taking immediate proactive steps such as adjusting screen time, understanding app spending, and setting clearer rules around their child’s online habits.
One parent who took part in the evaluation said: “After the session, I checked my son’s gaming account and realised he had spent over £200 on in-game purchases. We talked about it, and I’ve now set up parental controls.”
The high quality and standard of Ygam’s educational content was also praised by parents, with many describing it as ‘one of the best’ workshops they had attended for addressing a topical and complex issue, and for delivering accessible knowledge that supports real-life action.
Another parent said: ” A friend mentioned Ygam after I shared concerns about my son’s gaming habits. She had been on the course and said it had really helped her understand how to manage screen time”.
Claire Patel, Programme Lead for the Parents and Carers programme at Ygam, said: “We welcome the findings of this evaluation, which highlight the widespread and meaningful difference our programme is making for families. Parents and carers know their children better than anyone, and they have a crucial role to play – but they consistently tell us they often feel under-informed in today’s fast-moving digital world. We remain committed to listening to families and providing the information and tools they need to promote healthy habits and safeguard their children from potential harms.”
The evaluation was informed by interviews and video diaries from parents, foster carers, and professionals who attended Ygam workshops between 2023 and 2024.
All recommendations for improvement will be incorporated into the ongoing review and development of Ygam’s programmes to ensure they remain as effective and impactful as possible.

GR8 Tech Launched the Champion’s Playbook for High-Performance iGaming Brands

When ESPN Bet crashed during 26% of March Madness game time, it proved what heavyweight operators already know: that level of downtime is unthinkable—and expensive. When you’re processing millions of bets during a single event, every second of uptime and every millisecond of speed directly impact your bottom line.
That’s why GR8 Tech created the Champion’s Playbook for High Performance—distilling lessons from processing billions of bets per year into a tactical guide for operators who refuse to accept ‘good enough.’
Inside the guide, operators will discover:
- Three pillars of high performance: the non-negotiable standards for uptime, speed, and scalability that separate champions from contenders—plus the specific benchmarks that matter.
- From heavyweight performance to champion experiences: how to transform solid infrastructure into engaging, personalized player experiences while protecting margins from churn and fraud.
- A hard-hitting due diligence checklist: ready-made questions to evaluate your current provider or efficiently eliminate unsuitable candidates from your shortlist.
“After hundreds of conversations with operators, I know exactly what’s broken in the industry. The checklist cuts through the sales pitch to the questions that actually matter. Use it on any provider, including GR8 Tech. The answers will separate the real heavyweights from the pretenders,” says Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech.
Why this matters now
The iGaming landscape demands excellence. Players expect 24/7 availability, lightning-fast responses, and experiences that feel built just for them. Meanwhile, 70% of businesses struggle with poor data quality, and mobile users abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds to load. In this environment, technical mediocrity isn’t just disappointing—it’s expensive.
Ready to perform like a true iGaming heavyweight?
Download the Champion’s Playbook and start building your path to high-performance dominance.
