Supplier’s full portfolio made available to platform provider via direct integration

Push Gaming has further strengthened its extensive reach across European markets after agreeing a deal to supply its full portfolio of content to iGaming platform provider Rootz.

Launched in 2018 with a focus on smart and efficient programming and lean but powerful graphics, Rootz has quickly created a platform that delivers the very best in online gaming management.

The deal, which is facilitated via Push Gaming’s own platform, will give Rootz and its brand Wildz Online Casino exclusive access to its latest content – including the hugely popular Joker Troupe; launched to great acclaim at the end of 2019.

James Marshall, CEO of Push Gaming, said: “It’s great to see more and more operators choosing to work with us and it is testament to the hard work and dedication of our team.

“Rootz have rapidly built an exciting casino offering and will now have access to stunning titles such as Joker Troupe, as well as all new content in the coming future. We are excited to see where this partnership leads as we continue to establish ourselves as one of the industry’s most exciting suppliers.”

Tony Kjaldstrom, COO of Rootz, added: “Innovation and quality are two very important factors for both Rootz and Push Gaming, so it’s great to partner together knowing we have the same goals.

“We have all seen the quality of content Push Gaming offers with Joker Troupe, and we look forward to adding more great titles in the coming months. It’s certainly an exciting partnership of us.”

Push Gaming has established itself as one of the industry’s most exciting and innovative game developers thanks to its winning combination of great graphics, intelligent math, and state of the art game mechanics.

The studio has gone from strength-to-strength in the first half of this year, signing a wealth of partnerships with leading operator groups, including William Hill, GVC and Genesis Global.

GR8 Tech is implementing a series of platform-wide enhancements designed to help operators maximize performance during the year’s biggest sporting event. With the World Cup expected to drive massive traffic, repeated betting surges, and intense competition for player acquisition, these updates focus on the areas that most directly impact operator results. The improvements aim to help partners convert more traffic, retain more players, and extract greater value throughout the entire tournament journey.

“World Cup traffic by itself does not guarantee better results. What matters is how well operators can turn that attention into acquisition, conversion, retention, and long-term player value,” said Denys Parkhomenko, Chief Product Officer at GR8 Tech. “That is where our focus is right now. We are enhancing the sportsbook experience, expanding engagement and loyalty tools, and advancing our crypto capabilities to help partners make the most of the biggest opportunity of the year.”

Key Areas of Focus

1. Sportsbook
The sportsbook is receiving a comprehensive upgrade, including redesigned navigation for easier event discovery, improved campaign visibility, and enhanced Bet Builder functionality. Additional updates include quick-access, player-specific markets and new Odds Boost features, balancing player appeal with margin control.

2. Engagement and Retention
GR8 Tech is expanding its loyalty and bonus systems with a VIP-focused program, automated bonus mechanics, more flexible bonus selection, and enriched casino and sports-related engagement tools. The update also includes updated tournament settings and the introduction of new game content to enhance player retention.

3. Crypto
The company is strengthening its crypto offering with early-stage player segmentation based on wallet transaction history, more flexible VIP and risk management before first deposit, and smoother wallet-based payments, including ramp payments and direct top-ups via WalletConnect and other wallets.

Across the platform, these updates are designed to help operators capitalize on the World Cup’s peak traffic, delivering measurable improvements at every stage of the player journey. Detailed release notes will follow, highlighting specific product enhancements and the developments shaping GR8 Tech’s World Cup-ready platform.
