Branded content developer and IP rights holder Skyrocket Entertainment has joined Yggdrasil’s flagship YG Masters programme, accessing the supplier’s latest GATI standardisation technology as a launchpad to drive global growth.
Skyrocket’s content development and distribution division, The Games Company (TGC), join a host of the world’s most innovative independent studios and game developers on the award-winning YG Masters programme, that has seen partners design, develop and distribute best performing content using Yggdrasil’s proven technology and global network.

The company recently acquired the international rights to 75 feature films including Rambo 4, The Expendables, and The Fallen franchise.

Skyrocket’s TGC will have access to GATI, Yggdrasil’s preconfigured, regulation-ready development toolkit, enabling studios and game developers to use a standardised technology solution to develop and effectively distribute games anywhere in the world.

This is a unique model enabling them to rapidly scale distribution and boost revenue opportunities, at the same time as developing completely new ways of working and collaborating.

BetBlocker Launches Italian Version of its App

BetBlocker has launched the Italian version of its app.
“Italian is the fifth language that we’ve launched support for in the first two months of 2025. Unlike commercial blocking softwares, who focus their attentions on markets that are viewed as commercially viable, BetBlocker is determined to remove the language barrier for as many users as possible,” the Company said.
“Gambling addiction is no different in Zambia, Brazil or Serbia than it is in the UK, US or the Netherlands. It is critical that we remove unnecessary friction to our free, anonymous support for as many people as possible.
“BetBlocker would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Francesco Casartelli, who volunteered to provide the translation services that have facilitated this launch. Francesco’s work will allow us to support thousands more Italian speakers, and directly touch and improve the lives of a huge number of people and families.”
