Betsson Group Wins Big at the EGR Italy Awards 2020
Betsson Group won a total of five awards at the EGR Italy Virtual Awards, including the three most important categories: ‘Best Online Casino Operator’, ‘Best Customer Service Operator’, and ‘Socially Responsible Operator’. Following last year’s success in the Best Casino category, StarCasinòhas once again been confirmed as the most popular gaming platform for Italians.
Through the ‘Best Online Casino Operator’ award, the judges underlined the empathy and closeness shown by StarCasinò towards its consumers. In these critical times around the world, especially in Italy which at one point was the epicentre of Covid-19 in Europe, the brand was able to convey positive messages and great empathy, thanks to numerous information and awareness activities.
The reasons the judges gave when awarding Betsson Group as the winner of the ‘Best Customer Services Operator’ category, they said that Betsson’s great attention to customer support easily makes it one of the top operators in the market. They also accredited the investment done in technology with things like the online chat-bot, and how the great results demonstrate the success of Betsson’s strategy.
The ‘Socially Responsible Operator’ award was won in particular thanks to the #reSTAReAcasa multitouch campaign, with which StarCasinòreminded its customers to play moderately during the lockdown, also suggesting other forms of (offline) entertainment.
On the latter award, Pietro Lechiara, Managing Director for Italy, commented, “We are particularly proud of this award. The focus on responsible gaming has always been in the DNA of Betsson Group and we are delighted to have achieved this in the Italian market as well. Our aim is to provide state-of-the-art technological tools to monitor potential risks and offer users an extremely safe gaming experience. But there is more: great attention from the entire StarCasinòteam is dedicated to raising awareness of the issue, constantly informing and inviting users to play responsibly across our online platform.”
Betsson Group also won the ‘In-House Product innovation’ award for the innovation shown in the creation and launch of StarCasinò.Gratis. With regards to the fifth and final award, the judges awarded StarCasinò the ‘Marketing Campaign of the Year” title for the brilliant way it developed and launched the new sport news website, StarCasinò.Sport.

Booming Games marks two years in South Africa, targets top supplier spot
Booming Games says it is marking two years in South Africa and is setting a target to be “recognised as the market’s leading games provider in the next 1-2 years,” according to a company statement dated 14 July 2026.
The Malta-based supplier entered the market in July 2024 and says it has since grown from a single partner relationship to working with “a host of tier one operators across Africa.” The company also claims its local team has doubled in size, with further hiring planned in the coming months, and noted shortlistings at the SiGMA Africa Awards and iGA Summit Awards earlier this year.
In South Africa, Booming Games said it has more than 145 titles “tested, approved and live” in Mpumalanga, Western Cape and Eastern Cape. The company also pointed to a partnership announced last month with World Sports Betting (WSB), under which a selection of its titles will be integrated into WSB’s platform.
Solomon Godwin, Head of Africa at Booming Games, said: “Close partnerships with operators is central to our ability to innovate and deliver at speed. These collaborations allow us to establish a comprehensive feedback loop that informs future games. Put simply, we listen to our punters through our partners.”
Looking ahead, Booming Games said it plans to expand into “every remaining province” and increase investment in local presence and operator partnerships, including targeting new aggregator platforms entering the market. The supplier also said it will expand its release pipeline with localised titles and is developing new games across crash and instant categories, alongside updates to existing games.
Max Niehusen, Founder of Booming Games, said: “South Africa already drives the largest proportion of our revenues in Africa, and as we celebrate two successful years here, we are well placed to build out our offering even further over the years ahead.”

Tonybet awards €7,000 silver prize in World Cup Card Collection campaign
Tonybet has awarded a €7,000 prize to a player in Kilcock, Ireland, after the customer found the campaign’s silver card in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection promotion. The update was announced Tuesday 14th July 2026.
The World Cup Card Collection includes 51 cards: 48 digital cards representing each participating World Cup nation, plus three unique cards—gold, silver and bronze—tied to prize payouts. Tonybet said the bronze card was available during the group stage and was previously found by a customer in Canada.
According to the operator, the silver card was available during the knockout rounds through the quarter-finals. The gold card is now in play for the semi-finals, third-place play-off and final.
Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “Our Tonybet World Cup Card Collection Bronze prize went during the group stage; now Silver has gone too!
“A massive congratulations to our lucky winner in Kilcock, County Kildare. Silver was always the knockout-round card, available once the World Cup reached the stage where a single result ends a team’s tournament. It has found its winner just as the field thins to the last handful of nations.
“Now we’re down to the final four, that’s where the competition really hots up, leaving just the golden card still hidden somewhere for our lucky winner to find. Best of luck to all of our players as this amazing World Cup reaches its conclusion this week.”
Tonybet said its World Cup Card Collection runs until 31 July. With the bronze and silver cards already claimed, the remaining campaign prize depends on when the gold card is found before the promotion ends.

Tequity signs Koom Games to its RGS platform
Tequity has agreed a Remote Gaming Server (RGS) deal with slot studio Koom Games, with the partnership announced on 14 July 2026. Koom Games will use Tequity’s licensed modular RGS to develop and roll out new titles for distribution to operators worldwide.
Under the agreement, Koom Games will use Tequity’s infrastructure to handle game delivery while keeping control of its creative and development roadmap. The studio said its approach is to build content closer to mobile and social gaming than traditional casino titles.
Tequity said it currently supports 31 RGS clients and manages more than 130 integrations across regulated markets. The company positioned the Koom Games deal as part of a wider run of commercial agreements with providers and operators.
Tanja Bergman, VP of Partnerships at Tequity, said: “Koom Games is a studio that is looming to enter the global market by making a big splash. The team’s dedication to creating content that is genuinely fresh is highly impressive. We are thrilled to offer the stable, high-performance environment needed to transform this creative vision into a market-leading reality.”
Marko Zulj, CEO & co-founder at Koom Games, said: “Whenever operators and aggregators ask us what category our games fit into, we actually struggle to give a traditional answer. Instead, we tell them, ‘you’ll need to try them, because you haven’t played this before’.
“Our games come with completely new mechanics, fresh math, and features built for social engagement. To scale such a vision and remain agile, we needed more than a reliable RGS — we were looking for a robust iGaming platform that lets us confidently develop in any direction, and we found exactly that in Tequity.”
