Pariplay Ltd., the number 1 aggregator and content provider behind innovative products including the Fusion feature that will mark the latest in a series of ground-breaking tools for operators to improve their acquisition and retention performance. The revolutionary new feature, which will be rolled out to Fusion-integrated operators in August 2020, firmly reinforces Pariplay’s continued commitment to providing operators with essential marketing tools to boost their ROI, via its cutting-edge aggregation platform

Pariplay’s most recent addition, Spin That Wheel, is a follow-up to its groundbreaking Tournaments tool, which made its debut at ICE London earlier this year. Fusion Tournaments entered the market with tremendous success, bolstered by a leaderboards feature that spurred its early trial and adoption by eight operators in Pariplay’s network, including Annexio, MrQ, BetShop, Tote, GVC, Betsson, Lottoland and Lottohelden. The feedback received from these partners has been overwhelmingly positive, driving the development of additional features that will enhance operator campaigns and further establish Pariplay’s position as a market pioneer.

The Wheel tool is fully customisable and supports both Pariplay’s extensive portfolio of proprietary games and those provided from third party providers. With no additional development required, operators can simply set up a new campaign through the tool’s intuitive interface by defining its duration, prizes and qualifying criteria. Upon eligible game launching, all players need to do is spin the wheel and they will be instantly rewarded with the prize marked on the spot they land on. No spin or bet is required for a player to be able to enjoy the excitement of Spin That Wheel, making it accessible to a wider audience. This out-of-the-box solution acts as a perfect complement to Fusion Tournament’s focus on customer acquisition by providing a unique way of engaging and retaining players, effectively driving up lifetime value.

Savvas Fellas, Managing Director at MrQ, says: “Using the tournament feature from Pariplay with MrQ.com has enabled us to break out of the obvious and predictable promotional mechanics. We’ve gotten more creative with our segmentation. It’s the simple but clever use of technology allowing us to manage cross-vendor tournaments, that makes Pariplay the ideal partner for our own dynamic business. We’re equally excited by the possibilities of the new bonus wheel tool and what potential this could unlock for us across both our retention and acquisition marketing.”

Vladimir Pavlov, VP Product at Pariplay, said: “We’ve been thrilled by the overwhelming positive response from operators towards Fusion Tournaments, making it their gaming tool of choice. As a follow through on our commitment to innovating and providing partners with game-changing solutions, we’re happy to announce the upcoming launch of the Spin That Wheel tool. This unique new solution is just one of many in our new suite of exciting products and services to be introduced in 2020. As a leading games and technology provider, it’s important for us to continue to drive the industry forward and focus on adding value, the goal behind any development we make.”

ACR Poker is igniting the spring poker season with the Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms Special High Five Edition, offering an astonishing $10 million in guaranteed prize pools alongside the return of its celebrated High Five Series.

From April 12 to April 28, 2026, the special edition will feature two marquee events running simultaneously — an $8 million GTD No‑Limit Hold’em (NLH) and a $2 million GTD Pot‑Limit Omaha (PLO) tournament — promising some of the most thrilling online poker action of the year.

Players buy in for $2,650 and compete for massive mystery bounties, with the NLH event offering up to $500,000 for a single knockout and the PLO event featuring a top bounty of $200,000. Every knockout on Day 2 guarantees at least $5,000 in bounty rewards.

With five Day 1 flights, participants can enter multiple times and build competitive stacks for Day 2’s showdown. Qualifiers begin April 7th through Venom Fever satellites, providing hundreds of seats — some even free — via Direct, Mega, or Beast satellite events.

All players who make it to Day 2 on April 27th at 1:05 pm ET are already in the money. The climactic final table to crown this special edition’s champions will take place on April 28th at 4:05 pm ET.

ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker says the High Five edition builds on the momentum of earlier high‑stakes events like the $50 Million OSS XL, combining huge guarantees with broad access and big bounty potential for players of all bankrolls.

BOS releases report on the prevalence of gambling addiction in Sweden

Sweden has seen a long‑term decline in gambling addiction over the past 25 years, despite rapid growth in online gambling availability, advertising, and mobile gaming.

Economist Ola Nevander’s research for the Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling (BOS) shows that the prevalence of problem gambling has steadily fallen since the early 2000s, even as the market expanded. This trend emerged even with the widespread adoption of digital gaming products and 24/7 access on smartphones.

According to the findings, the proportion of Swedes classified as problem gamblers (based on the Problem Gambling Severity Index) dropped from about 2.2 % in 2008–09 to around 1.3 % by 2021, marking a significant reduction in overall gambling harm.

Gustaf Hoffstedt, Secretary General of BOS, emphasizes that this decline suggests Sweden’s regulatory and industry efforts are moving in the right direction. While the transformation from traditional physical gambling venues to digital platforms has raised concerns, online tools such as responsible gaming technologies and AI‑assisted safeguards are helping reduce problem gambling rates.

However, Hoffstedt cautions that much work remains, because expanded game offerings and persistent advertising mean ongoing responsibility is crucial to maintain and deepen the downward trend.

ACR Poker is turning up the excitement this spring with the Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms Special High Five Edition, featuring $10 million in total guaranteed prize pools. Alongside the return of its popular High Five series, this special edition of the Dual Venoms will run from Sunday, April 12th through Tuesday, April 28th, delivering side-by-side action in the $8 million GTD NLH and $2 million GTD PLO, offering some of the biggest online poker action of the year.

Following the success of previous editions, the $2,650 buy-in Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms return with massive guarantees and mystery bounties that reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the $8 million GTD NLH, a single knockout could earn a player the top bounty prize of $500,000, while the $2 million PLO, which ties as ACR Poker’s biggest Omaha event ever, offers a $200,000 top bounty. Every knockout starting on Day 2 guarantees at least $5,000 in both events.

With five Day 1 flights, players can enter multiple times and combine their stacks to hit Day 2 with some serious firepower. All players reaching Day 2 on Monday, April 27th at 1:05pm ET are already in the money, with the Final Table showdown for the coveted Venom crowns scheduled for Tuesday, April 28th at 4:05pm ET.

Qualifying begins Tuesday, April 7th through a packed Venom Fever satellite schedule, offering hundreds of guaranteed seats at low cost, or even for free, through Direct Satellites, Mega Satellites, and Beast Satellites.

“After the incredible turnout and massive payouts in March’s $50 Million OSS XL, Spring 2026 is shaping up to be epic with the return of our High Five Series and this special Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms edition,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “With huge guarantees, mystery bounties, and accessible satellites for every bankroll, players have double the excitement and double the chance to hit massive prizes!”

The latest Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms delivered massive fields and payouts, with both events exceeding their guarantees. The NLH drew 3,673 entries for a $9,182,500 prize pool, paying over $700,000 to the winner. Runner-up ‘BALDOUS’ from the UK scored the biggest payday of the tournament, claiming the top $500,000 bounty and $730,000 in total bounties, pocketing a whopping $1,240,310 in total.
