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.”

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.

The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.

Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:

“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.

“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.

“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”

Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.

“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

ThrillTech said it has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to offer its side-bet jackpot technology to regulated online casino, sports betting, and lottery operators in Ontario.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.

ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.
