“Kenny Got Work” Named NBA 2K League Player of the Month for July
The NBA 2K League announced Thursday Raptors Uprising GC point guard Kenneth “Kenny Got Work” Hailey has been named the NBA 2K League’s Player of the Month for July. Kenny earns the honour for the second time this season after also winning the award for May.
The NBA 2K League leading scorer averaged 38.7 points, 9.1 assists and 3.9 steals across nine series games in July. He shot 76.1 per cent (143-for-188) from the field and 78.0 per cent (46-for-59) from three-point range as Raptors Uprising went undefeated for the third consecutive month, finishing July with a 4-0 record.
Kenny began July by helping Raptors Uprising become the earliest team to ever clinch a playoff spot in a win over Gen.G Tigers of Shanghai, scoring 50 points in a decisive Game 3 to secure the victory. He followed it up by helping Raptors Uprising beat Pacers Gaming in Week 10, highlighted by a 44-point, 10-assist double-double in Game 1 as Toronto set the NBA 2K League record for most points scored in a game (112). To conclude the month, Kenny led Raptors Uprising to a pair of West coast sweeps over Kings Guard Gaming and Lakers Gaming in Week 11, averaging 40.3 points, 9.3 assists and 4.3 steals across four series games as Toronto established a new NBA 2K League record for most wins in a regular season (15).
Kenny also played a crucial role in the team’s second tournament title of the season. In nine games at THE TURN Tournament powered by AT&T, the point guard navigated through the added “archetype ban” concept to average 28.8 points, 8.6 assists and 2.2 steals, highlighted by a 51-point performance in the Round of 16 against Gen.G Tigers. Kenny was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, becoming the only player in league history to be named MVP of the first two tournaments of the season.
Originally taken 11th overall in the inaugural NBA 2K League Draft, the Memphis native is the longest-serving Raptors Uprising player and is the only player to represent Toronto in all three NBA 2K League seasons. In 15 regular season matches this season, the 30-year-old is averaging career-bests in points (34.7), assists (8.3), steals (3.6) and field-goal percentage (64.3).
The award is Kenny’s eighth individual accolade this season after earning four Player of the Week awards, the league’s Player of the Month award in May alongside Most Valuable Player awards at THE TIPOFF and THE TURN tournaments.

Gaming Corps launches with PowerPlay in Ontario ahead of Alberta iGaming debut
Deal puts the Swedish supplier live in Ontario and lines up a day-one rollout with PowerPlay when Alberta’s regulated market opens in July.
Gaming Corps has gone live with Canadian online sportsbook and casino operator PowerPlay in Ontario, expanding its distribution in Canada through an operator registered with iGaming Ontario and regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
The agreement also positions Gaming Corps to launch with PowerPlay in Alberta “from day one” when the province opens its newly regulated online gaming market in July, according to the companies. The partnership further extends Gaming Corps’ content across all PowerPlay.com markets.
PowerPlay’s rollout includes several Gaming Corps titles from its 3 Pigs franchise, including 3 Pigs of Olympus and 4 Gym Pigs: Porky Power. Football-themed releases Penalty Champion: Goals to Glory, Goals to Glory Football Fever and Goals to Glory Instant Blitz are also part of the initial content drop.
Graham Greensmith, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, said “Canada is becoming an increasingly important market for Gaming Corps, and this launch puts us in a strong position at exactly the right time. Ontario has already shown what a well-structured regulated market can deliver, and Alberta now represents a significant next step.
“PowerPlay has a clear local brand presence and operates across both sportsbook and casino in a way that fits closely with where we see the market heading. This is a launch that gives us an immediate foothold in Ontario, a clear path into Alberta, and a strong foundation for further growth across wider PowerPlay.com markets.”
Lauren Holder, Head of Casino at PowerPlay said: “PowerPlay has grown by focusing on what Canadian players value: choice, trust and an entertainment experience that feels grounded in this market. Gaming Corps fits well within that approach. Its games bring a distinctive tone and pace to our casino, while also giving us content that can work around key sporting moments and new regulated market opportunities. As we continue to develop our casino proposition, we look forward to working with Gaming Corps and bringing its content to players across all PowerPlay.com markets.”

Gaming Corps goes live with PowerPlay in Ontario ahead of Alberta market opening
Gaming Corps – a publicly-listed game development company based in Sweden, has gone live with Canadian online sportsbook and casino operator PowerPlay.
The agreement brings Gaming Corps into Ontario through one of Canada’s established online betting and casino brands, while also positioning the studio to go live with PowerPlay from day one in Alberta when the province opens its newly regulated online gaming market in July.
The partnership also extends Gaming Corps’ content across all PowerPlay.com markets, creating a broader route to players through an operator with a distinctly Canadian identity.
PowerPlay, which launched in 2018, combines sports betting across more than 40 categories with a casino offering more than 1,200 games, alongside a 24/7 live casino experience. The operator is registered with iGaming Ontario and regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
At launch, PowerPlay will introduce players to several of Gaming Corps’ most recognisable content strands, led by the 3 Pigs franchise, including the popular 3 Pigs of Olympus and latest instalment, 4 Gym Pigs: Porky Power.
The roll-out also lands as international football prepares to dominate the summer calendar, with Penalty Champion: Goals to Glory, Goals to Glory Football Fever and Goals to Glory Instant Blitz bringing three distinct football-led releases to PowerPlay’s casino catalogue.
Adding a different tempo to the launch is Banknote Blitz, a fast-paced instant win inspired slot where shifting Win Frames, prize collection mechanics and multipliers can unlock full banknote rewards and wins of up to 5,000x.
Graham Greensmith, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, said “Canada is becoming an increasingly important market for Gaming Corps, and this launch puts us in a strong position at exactly the right time.
