Expands from In-Game Apps into Helping Mod Authors Evolve with Tools, Technology, and Monetization

Overwolf, the all-in-one platform that enables creators to build, distribute, and monetize in-game apps, announced their acquisition of CurseForge from Twitch. This strategic business move marks Overwolf’s aggressive expansion in the market beyond in-game apps into game mods, and positions the company as the category leader.

With over 30,000 creators and a library of over 90,000 game mods and apps, Overwolf’s mission is to be the home for in-game creators, who develop amazing experiences that enhance games and improve performance for the gamer. Overwolf has successfully supported the growth of professional developers in their pursuit of building incredible apps. Overwolf is dedicated to helping in-game creators earn a living, and this same level of commitment will now be transferred to mod authors by providing the technology, community, and resources to take professional in-game creation to new levels. The CurseForge mod manager for gamers will transition away from the Twitch client, and will become a standalone desktop app, as part of Overwolf’s offering of apps. Tools and services around building and uploading mods will remain unaffected.

“We’ve been deeply impressed by the level of passion and collaboration in the CurseForge modding community,” said Tim Aldridge, Director of Engineering, Gaming Communities at Twitch. “CurseForge is an incredible asset for both creators and gamers. We are confident that the CurseForge community will thrive under Overwolf’s leadership, thanks to their commitment to empowering developers.”

Overwolf is committed to helping mod authors build, distribute and better monetize their products. The company believes that in-game creators, who consistently build amazing products used by gamers around the globe, should be recognized and rewarded for what they do by making a fair living off their work. As part of its mission to always put creators first, Overwolf has pledged to pay CurseForge mod authors 50% more by 2022, while not disrupting their current revenue streams.

“CurseForge is the embodiment of how fostering a community of creators around games generates value for both players and game developers,” said Uri Marchand, Overwolf CEO. “As we move to onboard mods onto our platform, we’re positioning Overwolf as the industry standard for building in-game creations.”

GG.BET has launched Popular Bets, a new platform feature that lets users place bets on ready-made combo selections in a few clicks.

The operator said the “Popular” section on the homepage highlights pre-built combinations based on popular matches and the latest markets. Once a user selects a combo, the full set of selections is automatically added to the bet slip.

According to GG.BET, the combos are generated using “enhanced recommendation algorithms” and built from markets that are popular among gg.bet users. The company said the goal is to reduce the time customers spend building selections and make the betting flow “easier and more accessible” for both experienced and newer bettors.

The update follows other recent product changes on the platform, including the launch of Bet Builder, which GG.BET said allows users to combine multiple markets within one match across both sports and esports.

As the football world prepares for its biggest stage, 22Bet Partners is warming up with a competition of its own.

In anticipation of the upcoming World Cup, the affiliate program has announced “The Winner’s League”, a limited-time campaign designed to reward new partners who bring winning traffic during the most exciting period of the football calendar.

Being a brand deeply rooted in the global sports scene, 22Bet has long aligned its identity with the energy, competition, and global passion surrounding football. The new campaign reflects that same spirit — turning affiliate performance into a league of its own.

Running from April 15 to June 15, The Winner’s League invites new affiliates to step onto the field, compete for performance-based rewards, and secure boosted revenue share conditions ahead of the football season’s peak traffic period.

For traffic owners focused on Tier-1, Tier-2 markets, the campaign offers a straightforward challenge: bring players, reach milestones, and climb the reward ladder.

Playing the Long Game

With The Winner’s League, the message is simple: the football season is approaching, the audience is warming up, and the field is open for new players.

For affiliates ready to compete, the league has already begun.
