GX Cleaner improves browser performance so it always feels brand new
The Easy Files feature presents your last downloads in visual form so that you never send the wrong attachment ever again

Opera GX, the world’s first gaming browser, is introducing new features that allow you to completely change the look of your browser, while always keeping it fast and lightweight, as if freshly installed.

An unlimited number of colors for your browsing

At Opera GX, we are very keen on providing users with the most customization options possible, and we just got better at it. The Secondary Colors feature goes beyond the previously available browser highlight colors and lets you choose an entirely different color scheme for your browser.

Those who like presets can now transform their browser with Rose Quartz, Ultraviolet and Frutti di Mare, or go wild and create their own color scheme based on the color wheel. It gives you countless options to choose from.

From now on, the GX browser will also adapt the colors of the sidebar icons to the chosen color theme.

“Today, we are bidding farewell to unnecessary contrast and things that don’t match,” said Maciej Kocemba, product director and mastermind of Opera GX.

This version of Opera GX also includes a set of new wallpapers that match the look of the browser.

GX Cleaner: a smart way to get rid of excess browser files

GX goes way beyond the capabilities of traditional browsers: it actually lets you tune the performance of your system with its CPU, RAM and Network Limiters to give you that extra boost when gaming. This time, we’re pushing it further with GX Cleaner to purge those old and unnecessary files.

GX Cleaner helps clean up the junk browser files you don’t use anymore (think cache, cookies, browsing history or downloaded files). It’s designed to improve browser performance while still allowing users to choose which files it deletes.

This new tool provides several options for filtering files by date or specific browser location. This makes cleanup easy when you want to get rid of files that you haven’t used in, say, 6 months. “We simply wanted Opera GX to always give you that fresh out-of-the-box feeling, without compromising functionality or ease of use. Dare I say, we’ve succeeded,” added Kocemba.

GX Cleaner makes sure you only purge the files you want to, without deleting anything important, and makes sure gamers have full control over their setups and their browser. The feature can be found in the sidebar.

Easy Files ensures you never go wrong when attaching a file

Easy Files is a unique Opera feature that comes to GX from the company’s main desktop browser. When you attach or upload a file, Easy Files presents those which you’ve most recently downloaded, or the items you’ve last added to your clipboard, in an easy-to-click visual display. And yes, this includes your artwork from Opera’s Snapshot tool.

This means you no longer have to go digging through your various folders every time you want to attach something to an email or a message. Instead, you get a clean display of the three files you’ve most recently interacted with. You can attach files in a single click, and move on with your life.

Opera GX has 5 million monthly active gamers and counting

Opera GX launched in June 2019 during the E3 Gaming Expo in Los Angeles. The browser distinguishes itself with unique features tailored to the tastes and needs of gamers. Along with numerous customization options, sound effects, background music, Razer Chroma support and a gaming-inspired design, it includes CPU, RAM and Network Bandwidth limiters that make the browser less resource-hungry and leave more of the computer’s resources for gaming. The browser also includes a Hot Tabs Killer feature, which lets users “kill” the most resource draining tabs.

Opera GX has recently grown to more than 5 million monthly active gamers. The browser has won two leading design awards: the Red Dot Design Award 2019 as well as the IF Design Award 2020.

BETER, the acclaimed provider of live streaming, data, and odds for esports and sports, has expanded into a new US state following the receipt of the Event Wagering Supplier License from the Arizona Department of Gaming.

The supplier license enables BETER to provide its quick-betting content, featuring live streams and live data, to licensed operators in the state for the first time, which includes its exclusive ESportsBattle tournaments and Setka Cup table tennis series.

Both are currently active with the tier-one operator bet365, which has been a long-term partner of BETER. Arizona marks the seventh state where BETER is licensed as the company expands its presence in both the state and the broader US market. BETER holds certifications in North Carolina, New Jersey, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, and Colorado as well.

BETER provides round-the-clock live streaming, instantaneous data, and highly precise odds for over 700,000 rapid events each year, offering as many as 50 markets per event with an average operator margin exceeding 7.5%.

Its esports portfolio features ESportsBattle tournaments that showcase eFootball, eBasketball, eHockey, and eTennis, and its sports portfolio includes the Setka Cup series along with the BSKT Cup basketball league.

Gal Ehrlich, CEO of BETER, said: “Securing regulatory approval in Arizona is a pivotal moment in our ongoing US expansion strategy. This marks our seventh state, and we are incredibly proud to continue our trajectory of growth in one of the world’s most dynamic betting markets.

“Our mission has always been to provide operators with the most reliable, high-velocity content available, and receiving the green light from the regulator is a testament to the integrity and quality of our offering.

“We are thrilled to kick off this journey with bet365 and look forward to bringing our industry-leading esports and sports content to even more Arizona players in the near future.”

Valeriia Tarchynska, Chief Legal Officer at BETER, added: “We are proud to announce that we have successfully completed the process of obtaining the Event Wagering Supplier License in the state of Arizona.

The process took us a total of eight months and was one of the most challenging journeys for our team. However, thanks to the dedication and expertise of our legal and integrity teams, we successfully navigated it.

This milestone strengthens our commitment to delivering reliable, compliant, and transparent products to our clients.

“We continue to actively work on securing regulatory approvals in key jurisdictions, including Ohio, Kentucky, and Illinois, among others.”

The slot developer Just Slots, based in Malta, participates in Hype.Bet’s anniversary festivities as a highlighted provider partner, offering exclusive contests, Fortune Wheel Drops, and community incentives to players during March.

Just Slots, an iGaming developer recognized for its striking and premium slot games, has revealed a collaboration with Hype.Bet to commemorate the platform’s inaugural anniversary. Taking place in March 2026, the partnership includes Just Slots as a highlighted provider for the significant event, offering unique contests, community-focused rewards, and prominent lobby positioning to users on one of iGaming’s most creative platforms.

Hype.Bet has transformed social casino gaming into the exclusive multiplayer community casino platform where players can join streamers and friends in real-time spins. Since its debut in March 2025, the platform has created a dedicated community centered on its hallmark Multiplayer Rooms feature, where hundreds of players can enter a communal room, observe a host oversee the gameplay, and track their balances fluctuating together, all in real-time.

In March, three Just Slots games—Rain and Ruin, Dynamo’s Show, and Vegan Nightmare—will be highlighted in Hype.Bet’s main lobby section, each adorned with unique halo icons to signify their participation in the anniversary promotion. Gamers can easily identify the highlighted games and dive right into the contest. The month-long competition, taking place from March 1 to 29, encourages participants to compete across the full Just Slots collection on Hype.Bet, offering rewards for individual players and streamers alike. The individual player champion receives a unique, limited-edition Hype.Bet anniversary merchandise pack, a Just Slots merchandise pack, and $500 in cash, whereas the leading streamer is awarded their own exclusive merchandise and a bonus incentive.

Enhancing the thrill, Hype.Bet’s exclusive Fortune Wheel Drops will take place every Monday and Wednesday during the campaign. Participants in Multiplayer Rooms during streamer events can seize $2,500 Fortune Wheel Drops, broadcast live to the community in a distinctly Hype.Bet style. The drops occur twice a day on those days, upholding the platform’s central belief that achieving success is more enjoyable when it is shared.

Nick Formosa, Head of Client Strategy at Just Slots, commented, “Hype.Bet has built something genuinely different in this space with a platform where the community is as much a part of the experience as the games themselves. That’s a philosophy that resonates with us at Just Slots, and this partnership felt like a natural fit from the start. Seeing our titles at the centre of their anniversary celebrations, with players competing and winning together throughout the month, really captures what ‘Play Together, Win Together’ is all about.”

Iana, Head of Marketing at Hype.Bet, added, “Celebrating our first anniversary with partners like Just Slots is a great way to highlight the community experience that defines Hype.Bet. Their games fit perfectly into our Multiplayer Rooms format, where players can watch, compete, and win together. This collaboration brings exciting competitions and rewards to our players while showcasing what social casino gaming can look like when the community comes first.”

After the launch of their inaugural game in 2024, Just Slots has introduced ten titles and established a variety of strategic alliances within the industry, emerging as a significant player in next-generation slot development. Participants can access complete information about the anniversary promotion, including contest rules and the Fortune Wheel Drop timetable, at hype.bet/promotions.
