Yggdrasil strikes YG Franchise deal with leading casino solution supplier SoftSwiss
Yggdrasil Gaming continues to expand its roster of YG Franchise partners by signing a strategic deal with iGaming software solutions provider SoftSwiss, providing the supplier with access to Yggdrasil’s proven iGaming content, technology, innovation, and expertise.
The YG Franchise licensing agreement will enable SoftSwiss to take full control of Yggdrasil content in its most important markets. SoftSwiss can distribute Yggdrasil’s award-winning games across its established network of partners and take advantage of tools including BOOST, the industry-leading promotional toolkit. In addition, the Franchise solution includes GATI, the latest iGaming development and distribution innovation from Yggdrasil.
With YG Franchise, Yggdrasil aims to increase the levels of content flexibility and control for strategic partners such as SoftSwiss. As such, all games, functionality and supporting services are made available. It will also enable SoftSwiss to use GATI to develop and distribute its own games on the Franchise platform. More than seven years of Yggdrasil’s iGaming success is reflected in the Franchise solution.
The new title Vault of Fortune is included in the full catalogue of Yggdrasil proprietary games available to SoftSwiss, as well as the growing portfolio of third-party YG Masters titles. All games are supported by BOOST and configured for maximum geographic reach.
The new partnership will enable SoftSwiss to globally collaborate with other Yggdrasil Franchisees. SoftSwiss will have access to the unique GATI technology, the game development tools and interfaces to build, port or commission games that can be deployed by other Franchisees. The network significantly scales the distribution potential and commercial opportunity for SoftSwiss and all Franchisees.
Andrew Pegler, Head of Commercial at Yggdrasil for Publishing, said: “SoftSwiss is a proven leading casino supplier and we are extremely happy to add them to our expanding YG Franchise network.
“As our Franchisee network continues to grow, the model amplifies the value for partners. Franchise enables them to take full control of their iGaming strategy, to scale their business in an efficient and secure way and, ultimately, to drive new revenue streams. Partnering with Yggdrasil will provide SoftSwiss full access to a vault of proven YG experience and technology.
“The YG Franchise solution is highlighting the importance of collaborative work in iGaming and playing to the strengths of individual businesses. The YG Franchise network adds scale to increase potential returns for all parties.”
Max Trafimovich, CCO at SoftSwiss, said: “We are delighted to become part of Yggdrasil’s unique YG Franchise network and to utilise the solution to collaborate and drive revenue and growth. The content is strong and supported with unique promotional tools under BOOST. We look forward to sharing the games within our expanding network of operating partners.
“By working together with Yggdrasil and other Franchise partners, using their iGaming ‘in a box’ solution and the GATI technology, we expect to reinforce our market position as a leading casino solution provider in the industry. It is an exciting time.”

Groove says its aggregator library passes 20,000 casino games
Groove says it has surpassed 20,000 casino titles on its aggregation platform, up from 15,000 games two years ago. The company said the library now includes content from more than 150 providers and is available to partners worldwide through a single API.
According to Groove, the portfolio spans slots, instant wins, table games, crash games, live dealer and arcade-style content, alongside “emerging verticals including sweepstakes and crypto-native content.” The company said the catalogue is delivered through “one API, one back office, one pipeline,” and positioned the milestone as a curated expansion rather than a volume play.
Rachel Tourgeman, Head of Partnerships at Groove, said: “Twenty thousand games is a number. What matters is what sits behind it…” She added: “We don’t add studios for the sake of volume. We add them because they bring something distinctive: a mechanical innovation, a visual language, a player-engagement hook that our operators can’t get elsewhere. Our partners trust us to curate, not just collect. That trust is why we keep growing, and why the quality curve keeps rising alongside the quantity curve.”
Groove pointed to recent integrations including KingMidas Games (150+ mobile-first titles), Urgent Games and Bryogames, which it said offers “proprietary mathematics with real-time RTP customisation.” For operators, Groove said the full library is accessible via Groove Command, its centralised back-office product, with tools including content matching, regional segmentation and automated tournaments.
Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Groove, said: “The aggregation space is crowded with platforms that offer ‘access’ and little else,” adding: “Twenty thousand games through a single API is not just scale. It is a statement.” Meltzer also claimed Groove’s “technology stack with predictive auto-scaling, atomic transactions, real-time compliance mesh” supports execution “across fragmented regulatory landscapes with precision.”

OS Studios names Ishaan Arya country manager to lead India expansion
OS Studios has appointed Ishaan Arya as Country Manager for India, tasking him with leading the agency’s expansion across newly established hubs in Bengaluru, New Delhi, and Mumbai. The appointment was announced on 25 June, 2026 in Bengaluru.
OS Studios, a Project Worldwide agency, said it recently entered the Indian market and will deploy its ‘Fan Z’ approach for brands looking to engage with gaming, esports and live events audiences in South Asia. The company said the expansion will leverage the infrastructure and production capabilities of sister agency George P. Johnson (GPJ) India.
“The future of gaming will be shaped by the communities that care about it most, and few markets embody that more than India,” said John Higgins, CEO of OS Studios. “To build something meaningful, you have to be part of the culture, not looking in from the outside. Ishaan understands that better than anyone. He’s exactly the kind of leader we want building the future of OS Studios in India.”
In the role, Arya will oversee operations, drive strategic brand partnerships, and scale local capabilities, according to the company. “Brands are investing heavily in Indian gaming, but true fan experience is too often an afterthought,” said Rasheed Sait, Chief Growth Officer for India and South Asia at Project Worldwide. “Alongside GPJ India’s experiential footprint, OS Studios will set a new standard for fan engagement in the region.”
Arya previously co-founded The Esports Club and most recently served as Vice President of Partnerships at Nodwin Gaming, where he led Comic Con India. “A massive gap remains between brand intent and authentic community engagement in India,” said Arya. “I’m thrilled to leverage Project Worldwide and GPJ India’s operational strength to build culture-defining experiences for brands and fans alike.”
