Partnership features in-play, real money “micro-market” betting opportunities powered by Simplebet’s machine learning and automation engine, to imminently launch with INTRALOT in the U.S. with global expansion to follow.

INTRALOT, a premier global sports betting and lottery supplier, announces that it will be partnering with Simplebet, an innovator in global sports betting technology, to launch new in-play, real money betting micro-market betting opportunities for NFL, MLB, and NBA. Simplebet, a B2B product development company using machine learning and automation to enable every moment of every sporting event to become a betting opportunity, known as Micro-Markets, will offer millions of new and engaging betting opportunities across INTRALOT Orion, the next-generation Sports Betting platform.

Simplebet’s proprietary Micro-Markets pricing engine powers in real-time both the market mechanics of a betting market (i.e. creation, suspension, repricing, and resulting) and odds for each selection. INTRALOT and Simplebet will begin rolling out the products this NFL season and potentially later this MLB postseason, with plans to launch for the next NBA season.

“The continuous enrichment of player experience and the enablement of state organizations in contributing to good causes are key elements of our purpose as a company. We do that organically and through partnerships with innovative companies,” said INTRALOT Group CEO, Dr. Chris Dimitriadis. “We are looking forward to working with Simplebet and diversifying our portfolio further.”

“As we continue to partner with leading operators and suppliers across the sports betting industry, INTRALOT is a natural fit for us to not only showcase our product and proprietary technology this NFL season, but to also provide a best in class experience for fans, both in the U.S. and globally,” said Chris Bevilacqua, Co-Founder and CEO of Simplebet. “As first to market with a truly scalable enterprise solution for Micro-Markets, we’re looking forward to our launch with INTRALOT and providing fans with new ways to bet on and engage with sports.”

“The U.S. sports betting industry continues to grow and evolve at a rapid pace and we are thrilled to partner with Simplebet as we become a first mover in offering U.S. sports fans Micro-Markets,” said Nick Papadoglou, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Sports Betting in the U.S. for INTRALOT. “Simplebet’s Micro-Market pricing engine provides fans literally millions of additional betting opportunities tied to the moments that drive the consumption of U.S. sports, and we are excited to partner with Simplebet on bringing a new level of product innovation to the marketplace.”

INTRALOT already has sports betting contracts in Washington, D.C., Montana, and New Hampshire. Globally, INTRALOT operates in 42 regulated jurisdictions with an average of $21.5 billion in annual wagering, and will work with Simplebet to launch Micro-Markets globally after the initial launch in the U.S.

Simplebet’s mission is to power the future of fan engagement by creating betting opportunities for every moment of every sporting event. Simplebet enables sportsbook operators and technology platforms to offer new betting markets in an effort to attract new customers, reduce customer acquisition costs, and increase the overall lifetime value of customers.

Real-money casual puzzle tournament startup says an EU private investor backed the April 2026 round.

EasyWin, a U.S.-based real-money gaming startup, said it has closed its second seed funding round at a $20 million valuation. The company announced the round in April 2026 and said it was backed by a private investor from the European Union.

The company previously closed its first seed round in December 2025 at a $15.5 million valuation. That round included funding from Velo Partners, Vladimir Nikolsky and several private angel investors.

EasyWin was founded by Ivan Leshkevich, a former executive at mobile game publisher and developer Mamboo Entertainment. The startup, which currently has a team of eight, says it has built a global tournament platform for casual puzzle games with cash prizes and operates across major markets.

Since launching in 2025, EasyWin reported 25% month-over-month growth in user spending and a 4.9 average user rating. It also said it has expanded into 12 countries with localized legal opinions and payment infrastructure, received PayPal approval for its MCC, and completed payments-stack integrations with global providers.

The company also said it has obtained GLI certification “confirming compliance with U.S. regulations for skill-based gaming products.” Leshkevich said: “In the long term, we aim to become a leading global skill-based gaming platform. To achieve this, we focus on a strong product USP and new AI-based dev tools.”

Downtown Las Vegas property says the July Super Bingo will be its largest prize purse to date, with sessions on July 4-5.

Plaza Hotel & Casino will stage a $250,000 “Super Bingo” event in Las Vegas July 3-5, positioning it as a special edition tied to the nation’s 250th anniversary. The operator said the prize pool is the largest in the series’ history.

“The Plaza will be celebrating its 55th anniversary and the 250th anniversary of our great country in July, so it is only fitting that we make our Super Bingo event that month our biggest and best ever,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “Our Super Bingo events have always drawn a packed crowd to our convention space, and we anticipate the July event to sell out quickly.”

According to the Plaza, Super Bingo draws nearly 1,000 attendees, including visitors traveling from Hawaii and Canada. For the July edition, bingo-only registration is set at $250 per person for gameplay on Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5. The Plaza is also offering an optional five-night hotel package priced at $200 per person, with no resort fee, for check-in July 2 and check-out July 6.

The Plaza outlined the payout structure as 20 games paying $1,999 each day, plus a daily “super coverall” of $60,000, second place of $15,000, and third place of $10,020. The casino said prizes will be paid in cash and players must be present to win.

Outside of the special event, the Plaza said its bingo room runs six daily sessions at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and is located two floors above the main casino.
