In the month of August, the Indian poker brand attracted 20,151 new customers registrations on the poker site and had 3046 first time depositors. In the past four (4) months, the Indian poker site has earned over $500,000 USD and attracted over 50,000 active players.
The CEO of i3 Interactive, Chris Neville was asked about the Indian market and was quoted saying:
“…the early numbers and results speak for themselves and I’m extremely excited with our management team’s momentum in working to finalize the acquisition of FTR Poker and to solidify the Company’s footing in the Indian market. Our team identified India as a key target market early in our growth strategy and we expect continued success for the Blitzpoker brand for the foreseeable future. We have a goal of being the number 1 poker site in India in the next 12 months.”
With solid plans in place for upcoming TV interviews, newspaper and magazine allocations, Blitzpoker anticipates continued success into the later part of 2020. The Company is excited for its planned product innovations and offerings of invaluable and unique experiences.

Gaming Corps expands Entain deal with Ontario live and Alberta launch planned
Supplier content is already live on BetMGM in Ontario, with Party Casino & Sports Interaction lined up ahead of Alberta’s July iGaming opening.
Gaming Corps has expanded its partnership with Entain, extending distribution of its casino content across more Entain brands and markets, with Canada positioned as a key near-term focus.
The supplier went live with Entain’s joint venture BetMGM in Ontario in December 2025, followed by a wider Entain rollout in the province in March 2026. Gaming Corps and Entain are also preparing for Alberta’s regulated iGaming market opening in July, with Gaming Corps content “ready to go live from day one with BetMGM” and Party Casino & Sports Interaction to follow.
Outside Canada, Gaming Corps said it completed a full content launch in Brazil with Sportingbet and Betboo in May, and launched 3 Pigs of Olympus exclusively across Entain’s UK-facing Ladbrokes, Coral Gala and Foxy brands in June. The company also said additional launches are being prepared for Portugal, Spain and New Zealand.
The latest phase includes football-themed titles such as Penalty Champion, Goals to Glory: Football Fever and Goals to Glory: Instant Blitz, alongside the supplier’s 3 Pigs IP. Graham Greensmith, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, said: “For Gaming Corps, this is a huge milestone. Entain is one of the biggest names in global gaming, so to see our relationship grow in this way is a clear sign of the trust, performance and commercial value we have built together.
“What makes this particularly exciting is the scale of the opportunity. This is not a single-brand launch or a one-market rollout. Entain is continuing to take Gaming Corps content into more territories, across more of its brands, and that says a lot about where we are as a business.
“We have worked hard to build a portfolio that gives major operators real flexibility, from high-performing IP to timely, event-led content and new game formats. To see that strategy being recognised by a partner of Entain’s calibre is incredibly rewarding, and we are very excited about what comes next.”
Obdulio Bacarese, Global Gaming Director at Entain, added: “Gaming Corps has been a valuable partner over the last four years. The strength of the relationship lies in how easily the content can be activated around different commercial priorities, from supporting new market entries to adding timely releases around key calendar moments. The studio understands the need for content that is flexible, relevant and easy to position locally, and we are pleased to continue building on the partnership.”
