NetShop ISP announced as an Official Supporter of the Safer Gambling Week 2020 (Cyprus)
The National Betting Authority is organising for the 3rd consecutive year the Safer Gambling Week (SGW) which will be held from the 5th until the 11th of October 2020. The SGW aims to inform the public and raise awareness, as well as involve and mobilise all stakeholders regarding safer gambling and protection of wider society from any harmful consequences of gambling activities.
NetShop Internet Services, a two-time Award winning iGaming Hosting Provider, has been announced as an Official Support of this year’s SWG Conference in Cyprus.
The launch of the week will be marked by the 3rd Safer Gambling Conference. During the week, there will be various activities and events such as workshops, interactive games, presentations, training seminars, and more in all districts in the Republic.
The SGW’s objective is to inform the public on safer gambling practices, self-protection measures that players can set for themselves, as well as treatment centres and facilities for gambling disorder. The week aims to communicate that gambling should remain a fun activity for those who decide to participate in any gambling activities.
The ultimate goal of the Safer Gambling Week is to become a platform for discussion and constructive dialogue between various stakeholders of the Cypriot society and the gambling industry regarding safer gambling practices, and eventually become a cross-industry and community wide institution where it will get people talking about safer gambling: gambling venues staff, players, family, friends, wider community.
The theme for the 3rd Safer Gambling Week is “Let’s keep it a game”. Safe participation in gambling implies that the person who decides to gamble, will do so without putting in risk himself or those around him.
The agenda for the SGW 2020 will be announced soon and will be updated frequently. More information on the week and its activities can be found at www.sgw.cy
This year, taking into consideration international best practices and the suggestions of the scientific community, the Authority has decided to proceed with the rebranding of Responsible Gaming to Safer Gambling. The focus on safer gambling promotes a new understanding of the responsibility of the state and gambling operators and providers to enhance player’s protection mechanisms. The idea of “Responsible Gaming” suggests that the players is primarily responsible for protecting himself. This prevailing view, although correct, should be revised and used in a broader sense. The notion of “Safer Gambling” emphasizes that in addition to individual responsibility, there is a clear responsibility of the state and its institutions, as well as gambling operators and all stakeholders involved.

Tequity Publishing launches Mirror Image Gaming’s K-Pop Drop with Stake exclusivity
Tequity Publishing has launched K-Pop Drop, a Burst Game from Mirror Image Gaming, with an exclusive first release on Stake. The game went live on 11th May 2026 and will be available only on Stake initially, before expanding to Tequity’s wider operator network the following week.
According to the companies, K-Pop Drop is an anime-inspired Burst Game featuring escalating multipliers and interactive mechanics. The title includes potential multipliers of up to 5000x and follows a character called Sakura as she progresses through gameplay features including boosts, landing zones, bonus triggers, and hazards.
“K-Pop Drop immediately stood out to us as the type of modern, high-energy content we believe is becoming increasingly important within the market,” said Dominic Sawyer, VP Growth at Tequity. “Players today are looking for more interactive, entertaining experiences that feel highly engaging from the first second of gameplay. Mirror Image Gaming has done a fantastic job creating a game with real personality and strong replayability, and we’re excited to launch it first with Stake before rolling it out across the wider network.”
Mirror Image Gaming CEO Gray Wagner said the Stake launch is intended to broaden the game’s reach. “We wanted K-Pop Drop to feel fast, unpredictable, energetic, and memorable – something that instantly stands out both visually and through gameplay,” said Wagner. “Working with Tequity Publishing and launching first with Stake gives the game an incredibly strong platform from day one, and we’re excited to see players experience it.”
Tequity said K-Pop Drop will become available to its wider operator network from the week commencing 18th May.

SkillOnNet launches MegawaysCasino in .com markets under MGA licence
SkillOnNet has launched MegawaysCasino across multiple international .com markets under its Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) licence, the company said.
The expansion follows a relaunch of MegawaysCasino in the UK in March under the SkillOnNet umbrella, which the company described as a strong performer.
MegawaysCasino is built around the Megaways
slot mechanic, a variable reel system originally developed by Big Time Gaming that can offer up to 117,649 ways to win, according to the release. SkillOnNet said the platform includes more than 8,000 games spanning slots, crash games, table games and live casino.
Giordana Anticoli Kalifa, Country Manager at SkillOnNet, said: “MegawaysCasino has performed exceptionally well in the UK, and it quickly became clear that there was strong demand for this experience in other regulated markets. With Megaways
already hugely popular worldwide, expanding under our MGA licence allows us to bring this iconic product to even more players in a safe and fully compliant way. This is just the beginning of our global journey.”

Bragg Expands Partnership with 711 in Belgium
Bragg Gaming Group has announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to expand its partnership with leading operator 711 in the Belgian market. This agreement paves the way for the upcoming launch of 711’s new online sportsbook, following 711’s successful acquisition of an F+ license from the Belgian Gaming Commission.
The new sportsbook offering, powered by Kambi’s Turnkey Sportsbook, will be seamlessly integrated into Bragg’s robust Player Account Management (PAM) technology platform. This expansion builds upon the strong existing relationship between Bragg and 711 in Belgium, where 711 successfully operates an online casino under a B+ license since December 2025.
As part of a unified user experience, players visiting 711.be will soon be greeted with a streamlined portal allowing them to choose between the casino and the soon- to-be-launched sportsbook platforms. The go-live is strategically scheduled to occur ahead of the upcoming 2026 World Cup, providing Belgian sports fans with a premium betting destination just in time for the world’s biggest football event.
Following the successful deployment of Bragg’s award-winning Fuze player engagement toolset for 711’s Dutch operations, this expansion also marks the introduction of the toolset to 711’s Belgian sports vertical. In addition to a deep integration with Kambi’s sportsbook technology, Fuze will provide a suite of engagement features, such as real-time tournaments and quests. These features and promotional tools will be implemented and utilized strictly in accordance with the Belgian regulatory and compliance framework, ensuring that all player retention and engagement initiatives align with local requirements.
Matevž Mazij, CEO of Bragg Gaming Group, said: “We are thrilled to have finalized this agreement to further strengthen our global relationship with 711. By supporting their entry into the Belgian sports betting market with our flexible PAM platform, Kambi’s world-class sportsbook, and our proprietary Fuze engagement tools, we are providing 711 with a powerful, comprehensive solution to compete at the highest level. We look forward to going live just in time for the excitement of the World Cup.”
Gilles De Backer, COO at 711, said: “Signing this agreement to expand our Belgian footprint with the upcoming launch of 711sports.be is a pivotal moment for our brand. Having already seen great success with our casino offering via Bragg’s platform, it was a natural choice to extend our partnership for the sportsbook.
“The addition of Kambi’s leading sportsbook technology and Bragg’s Fuze tools ensures that 711 will be well positioned to execute its core identity and strategy in the Belgian sports betting market by aiming to provide the best user experience, competitive odds, and strong player-focused features. The launch is also perfectly positioned for the increased sportsbook momentum we expect during the World Cup.”
