Several markets remove covid-19 restrictions – Sweden are doing the opposite

Authorities in Spain and the UK are now choosing to remove the temporary covid-19 restrictions. The restrictions on these markets were introduced two months ago and were linked to the marketing of games. In Sweden, new restrictions are now being introduced instead.

“These are examples of two regulated markets where authorities and players in the gaming market work together to achieve a sustainable and healthy gaming market in the long term. The fact that both Spain and the UK now return to the normal regulatory framework is in line with how the outside world relieves previous restrictions in connection with covid-19. We now also see that many sports competitions are resumed, and the football leagues start again,” says Gustaf Hagman, Group CEO.

“Unfortunately, despite criticism from several directions, Sweden is moving in the opposite direction and facing temporary restrictions. There is a great risk that this will erode Swedish regulation even more. Copenhagen School of Economics has carried out an independent report which indicates that the black market can amount to as much as 50 percent when introduced. It is far from the authorities’ goal that wants to limit the black market to 10 percent“, Gustaf Hagman, Group CEO continues.

Spain
Spain has for a time introduced a temporary marketing ban on gambling.

UK
For a period of six weeks, the largest gaming companies in the UK (those that are BGC (The Betting and Gaming Council) members) have voluntarily opted to restrict advertising on TV and radio to only feature a safer gambling message rather than promote their products. Advertising restrictions are now being lifted, however there is still a voluntary agreement for operators to dedicate a minimum of 20 percent of their advertising on TV and radio to safer gambling throughout the period up to and including 31 August 2020.

Sweden into temporary restrictions
As of July 2, Sweden will impose temporary restrictions on, among other things, online casinos that extend until the turn of the year 2020. The restrictions include a deposit limit of SEK 5,000 per week and licensees, and only one bonus, in the form of a welcome bonus, which may amount to a maximum of SEK 100.

Responsible Gaming
Regardless of the world situation and business cycle, LeoVegas puts its customers’ safety first. LeoVegas works with several customer tools that are used in the form of setting deposit and loss limits. The company actively helps customers with this and continuously informs them about playing responsibly. In a digital world, everything is measurable and LeoVegas works proactively, using algorithms, to detect trends in unhealthy behaviour at an early stage – before gambling becomes a problem. During the covid-19 period, LeoVegas see no tendencies for problem gambling to increase.

“The Swedish Gambling Authority notes that Spelberoendegruppen (the Gaming Addiction Group) has not noticed any change in the number of contacts and the Spelberoendes förening (the Gaming Addict’s Association) notes an increase in people who state trot as a source of problem gambling,” concludes Gustaf Hagman.

Inspired Entertainment, Inc., a prominent B2B provider of gaming content, systems, and solutions, has announced the launch of three new titles—The Great Eggscape™, Aphrodite Legends of Olympus™, and Gold Fever Mine All Mine™—across the UK and Malta iGaming markets.

The Great Eggscape™ introduces Big Money Chase™, delivering a dynamic, farm-themed slot experience. The game features colorful characters, innovative progression mechanics, and engaging bonus opportunities. In the base game, the Farmer and Chicken collect cash prizes while Egg symbols contribute to building a progressive nest feature, which can activate surprise prize pots or Free Spins at any time. When both the Farmer and Chicken land together, players dive into an exhilarating Free Spins Bonus round, where the duo gathers prizes along separate Bonus Trails to boost multipliers and winning potential. The chase persists until the Farmer catches the Chicken, allowing further chances to extend the Bonus and earn more rewards. With dynamic reel modifiers, multiple RTP settings, and advanced options like Bonus Buy, Gamble, Fortune Spins, and Fortune Bet, this title offers operators a compelling gaming experience tailored to enhance engagement and encourage frequent play.

Aphrodite Legends of Olympus™, featuring Triple Hit Combo™, adds a captivating entry to the Legends of Olympus™ series. With a vibrant Greek mythology backdrop, the game incorporates stunning visuals, interactive progression systems, and enriched bonus gameplay. A standout feature is Aphrodite’s Extra Lives mechanic, which injects lasting excitement into the Win & Spin Bonus. Players work towards unlocking one of three thrilling Free Spins Bonus rounds through three progressively filled pseudo-persistent bags. Aphrodite’s heart coins can refill lives, delivering dramatic recoveries and extending playtime during bonuses, while expanding rows, increased multipliers, and growing coin values ramp up potential wins. Complemented by features such as Bonus Buy, Gamble, and multi-level Fortune Bet functionality, this title combines aesthetic appeal with innovative features for high entertainment value and significant win opportunities.

Gold Fever Mine All Mine™ brings an adventurous mining theme to the successful Golden Winner™ framework. It blends well-established mechanics with a unique pseudo bonus choice feature that empowers players with added control over their reward strategies. A Miner character collects values during Fortune Spins and Free Spins Bonus rounds, which are enhanced by a progressive trail that advances with each additional Miner collected. The Golden Nugget feature provides a thrilling risk-and-reward element, allowing players to choose between extra Free Spins or higher multipliers as their rewards escalate. Equipped with features like Fortune Bet, Fortune Spins, Gamble, and Bonus Buy, this slot promises an engaging experience filled with opportunities for extravagant golden wins.

Commenting on these launches, Claire Osborne, Managing Director of Interactive at Inspired Entertainment, stated:
“These new titles perfectly reflect the diversity and innovation of our expanding digital games portfolio. By blending tried-and-tested mechanics with fresh themes, creative progression elements, and exciting bonus features, we’re providing players with highly entertaining experiences designed to engage them round after round. Whether it’s the fast-paced chase sequences of *The Great Eggscape™,* the mythology-infused action in *Aphrodite Legends of Olympus™,* or the rewarding mining adventure in *Gold Fever Mine All Mine™,* these games offer operators an excellent opportunity to enhance their casino offerings and captivate their audiences like never before.”

GR8_TECH said its branded podcast Bet It Drives has been named a Bronze Honoree at the 18th Annual Shorty Awards in the Branded Podcast category.

The company positions Bet It Drives as a non-studio format that puts guests in a moving car for unscripted conversations. According to GR8_TECH, episodes have been filmed across London, Lisbon, Rome, and Barcelona, with guests including Clarion Gaming MD Alex Pratt, SBC founder Rasmus Sojmark, and SiGMA founder Eman Pulis.

GR8_TECH said the show, now complete across four seasons, has surpassed 2 million YouTube views and generated 280+ media publications.

“Bet It Drives was built to challenge the safe, predictable way our industry tells stories. We wanted conversations with personality, tension, and exceptional insight. The Shorty Awards recognition proves that audiences are looking for content that’s bold, genuine, and impossible to ignore,” said Yevhen Krazhan, Bet It Drives host and GR8_TECH’s CSO.

“This year’s winners didn’t just chase views and clicks; they used digital as a bridge to genuine human connection,” said Junmian Sun, Managing Director of the Shorty Awards. “We’ve entered a new era where digital is no longer about rented platforms, but owned ecosystems. The most successful work we are celebrating today succeeded because it built spaces where audiences feel noticed and understood, rather than just targeted.” Winners are selected by the Shorty Awards’ Real Time Academy, the awards said.
