Overwolf, the all-in-one platform that enables creators to build, distribute, and monetize in-game apps and mods, today announced the launch of the beta version of the new CurseForge app. The app will replace the mod tab in the Twitch client and help gamers and mod authors to manage mods and addons for supported games, beginning with World of Warcraft. Overwolf announced in June its plans to acquire CurseForge from Twitch to empower mod authors to not only create better experiences for gamers, but also make a living from their passion. The new dedicated app, built on the Overwolf framework, is launching ahead of WoW Shadowlands expansion to allow gamers to download the latest addons prior to the highly anticipated release.

Designed as a dedicated app for PC and Mac, the new CurseForge app will initially offer similar functionality to the “mods” section inside the Twitch client which includes discovering, downloading, and managing mods and addons. Since the announcement of the impending acquisition of CurseForge, Overwolf has collaborated with top in-game creators and gaming communities to identify how to improve CurseForge. The community’s feedback and most requested features were then used to lay out CurseForge’s development roadmap, available here. Improvements including sidebar navigation between games and better search functionality are already introduced in the launch version, with additional features coming during the next few months.

“We’re building our roadmap by listening to community suggestions on which features the players and mod authors would like to see in the new home for CurseForge. Essentially, we are giving the community the keys to shape the future of CurseForge,” said Uri Marchand, Overwolf CEO and Co-Founder. “Overwolf is focused on empowering mod authors with tools and services to build, share and monetize their amazing gaming creations with gamers. As part of our mission to put in-game creators first, we are fully committed to paying CurseForge mod authors 50% more by 2022, compared to what they’re making today.”

“CurseForge has always been the place where players could get the most up to date version of Mythic Dungeon Tools (MDT) and countless other great addons. Overwolf has reached out to the addon community to ask for feedback and ideas for potential new features to ensure that the development of the CurseForge platform benefits everyone including addon authors, but also the players. A lot of changes have been made based on feedback and suggestions to improve the overall experience of the platform, and I am really excited to see what’s in store for CurseForge in the coming months,” said Nnoggie, creator of Mythic Dungeon Tools, a leading World of Warcraft addons with over 10,000,000 downloads.

Support for Minecraft and additional games are also scheduled to arrive on November 17, 2020. Beginning November 30, gamers will no longer be able to use the Twitch client for mod management. All exploration, updating, and downloading of mods and addons will be done through the new CurseForge app and website.

Vegangster has introduced Hubster AI, a built-in conversational assistant designed to simplify platform setup and daily operations for operators. The tool allows clients to ask practical questions about platform features and receive instant, structured, step-by-step guidance.

Unlike traditional support models that rely on account manager availability and ticket queues, Hubster AI operates 24/7 and supports all major languages. Operators can configure features, adjust settings, and navigate workflows independently without waiting for working hours.

Hubster AI provides detailed operational guidance across the entire platform, including:

Player Account Management
Bonus and promotion setup
Game and lobby management
CRM workflows
CMS and content updates
Reporting and analytics

Each response delivers clear instructions and, where relevant, direct access to pre-recorded video walkthroughs demonstrating the exact process.

Several brands have already completed onboarding and platform configuration without submitting setup tickets, relying entirely on Hubster AI for operational guidance.

“My idea is to make complex things simple,” said Tatjana Danevica, Product Operations Specialist at Vegangster. “Operators should not deeply need technical expertise or constant support interaction to launch and manage a brand. Hubster AI turns platform knowledge into an always-available guide, removing friction and allowing teams to move.”

Hubster AI forms part of Vegangster’s broader strategy to eliminate the skill barrier in iGaming by turning complex platform knowledge into instant, practical guidance operators can use in real time.

The studio’s newest high-volatility game fuses traditional casino visuals with fiery multipliers, sticky wilds, and an increasing jackpot.

ELA Games has officially launched its latest slot, Rapid Wild. This neon-filled title immerses players in the core of a high-stakes competition, merging classic arcade visuals with a frantic energy to the gameplay.

A Charged Vintage Slot

Though ELA Games has built a unique identity with immersive worlds and character-driven narratives, Rapid Wild seeks to demonstrate the team’s adaptability and provide players with unparalleled slot excitement. Bathed in a radiant violet light, the game features a smooth, retro design. Gold bars, fortunate dice, and blazing jackpots throb across the 5×3 grid, forming an energetic atmosphere for gamers who enjoy arcade-style thrills with a stronger impact.

At the core of Rapid Wild lies a quest to seek out the Crazy Hot symbols. The process is simple yet fulfilling: the greater the number of symbols that appear on the reels, the larger the jackpot grows. Competitors who can endure the pressure and effectively complete the board will seize the grand reward before the flames diminish.

Explosive No-Cost Games and Turbocharged Wilds

The classic slot experience is enhanced with a genuine array of features. Landing Scatters activates the bonus round, granting 8, 16, or 25 Free Games based on the count of triggering symbols. Amidst these rotations, the genuine strength of the Wilds is revealed:

● Multiplier Wilds: Wilds that double (x2) and triple (x3) enhance the reels to boost winnings.

● Sticky Wilds: These icons adhere to the grid for two extra spins, securing your fortune.

Game Statistics:

● Spools: 5×3

● Winning Lines: 10

● RTP: 94.08% / 96.00%

● Volatility: Elevated (4/5)

● Maximum Win: x5,000 (€250,000)

Max Krupyshev has been in crypto since 2013—long before it was “the usual.” In Bet It Drives podcast Season 4, Episode 3, the CoinsPaid and CryptoProcessing.com CEO joins host Yevhen Krazhan in Barcelona to explain why trust and controls decide who scales.

“Crypto was never anonymous—that was a misconception,” Max Krupyshev says in the podcast.

From there, he breaks down how the industry matured, why mass adoption is inevitable, and why the biggest risks today aren’t what most people think they are.

During the episode, Max digs into:

Is crypto still associated with money laundering?
Can crypto transactions still be completely anonymous?
The most common crypto fraud patterns in B2B
How to win big deals in business (and the fastest way to lose one)
What he dislikes in iGaming + crypto, and what the industry needs to fix next
The 8-Bitcoin story: what he spent it on, and why he doesn’t regret it
His most remarkable iGaming partnership, and why it mattered
Where crypto will be in 10 years, and what happens to cash along the way

Alongside the industry discussion, Episode 3 brings back Confess or Call, when Max is pushed into a dramatic prank call: ringing his Head of Sales with an “urgent” request.

“This episode is practical,” said Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech and host of Bet It Drives. “Max explains the risks, how fraud happens in practice, and what operators should look for in a payment provider. If you handle payments in iGaming, this episode lays out what matters, and what doesn’t.”

Season 4 opened with a CEO episode with Cedomir Tomic (Founder of Alea) and Oleksandr Feshchenko (CEO of GR8 Tech), followed by Akhil Sarin on marketing and partnerships at Stake. Episode 3 is aimed at operators, affiliates, and product teams who want to understand crypto beyond the obvious. Episode 4 features Marek Suchar breaking down esports betting.
