Next Generation Lotteries (NGL) is pleased to announce that it has won Norsk Tipping’s e-Instant RFP. Under the new agreement, signed following a highly competitive tender process, NGL will provide both innovative original content and develop bespoke games for Norsk Tipping’s “Flax” and “Yezz” brands.

“We are thrilled to continue our successful collaboration with Norsk Tipping” – said Hans Vigmostad, NGL’s CEO. “This new win proves the quality of our solutions and it reflects NGL’s commitment to provide leading technology and innovative and appealing products to modern lotteries and their players” he added.

NGL has been providing original game content and bespoke game conversions to Norsk Tipping since 2017, after being chosen as one of three e-Instant suppliers for the “Flax” portfolio of games. NGL’s focus on mobile game development has made these games more attractive to a wider audience, enabling players to enjoy their favourite e-Instants wherever they chose. Integration with Norsk Tipping’s robust responsible gaming controls ensured that players could play safely and responsibly. Following this new win NGL, together with its content partners: Gamevy, SidePlay and Mobile Waves Solution, will now become Norsk Tipping’s supplier of e-Instant game content – both original games as well as custom digital conversions of physical scratch tickets.

“We are happy to confirm that NGL, after a highly competitive procurement process, has been awarded the contract for delivering e-Instants to Norsk Tipping. Since the launch in 2014, e-Instants have been and still are, a growing category for Norsk Tipping, and we expect NGL to support us well in reaching our continued growth targets and high ambitions. NGL delivered a competitive offer, meeting all award criteria, and based on our experience working together, we expect a seamless transition between the old and new contract supporting this business area” – said Hans Erland Ringsvold, Norsk Tipping Head of Gaming Operations.

This new contract will ensure smooth continuity of NGL’s and Norsk Tipping’s successful cooperation over the coming years and ongoing growth of the “Flax” games’ portfolio.

S8UL gaming creator and streamer Payal Dhare has partnered with OWND!, the Gen Z-focused fashion brand from Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited, to launch a gaming-inspired fashion capsule called ‘Gamer Drop’. The companies describe it as India’s first female gamer-curated capsule. The collection will be available on OWND!’s website and in the brand’s stores across India.

According to the press release, ‘Gamer Drop’ includes menswear and womenswear pieces built around gaming culture and streetwear, positioned as a creator-led collection rather than conventional creator merchandise. The campaign leans on the growing overlap between gaming culture, creator communities, and youth fashion.

Marco Agnolin, Chief Executive Officer, OWND!. said, “We see gaming today as a powerful cultural force that is shaping how young consumers express themselves, communicate, and engage with fashion. As one of India’s biggest gamers, Payal Dhare represents this new generation perfectly through her authenticity, confidence, and deep connection with the gaming community. Her influence extends far beyond gaming content, making her an ideal face for our gaming collection. Through this collaboration, we aim to celebrate individuality and connect with India’s digitally native youth in a way that feels relevant, inclusive, and culture-driven.”

Payal Dhare aka Payal Gaming said, “Gaming today has become a culture and a form of self-expression for millions of young people across the country. That’s what makes this collaboration with OWND! so exciting for me. With this curation, I wanted to create something that genuinely reflects my vibe and the energy of my community. It’s stylish, comfortable, expressive – and made for people who want to own who they are.”

The release also points to India’s expanding creator economy. Citing a Boston Consulting Group report, it says India has nearly 2 to 2.5 million creators, with more than 60% of consumers exposed to creator-led content and over 30% of shoppers influenced by creators in purchase decisions.

BETBY, the leading B2B sportsbook supplier, has announced a new strategic partnership with Vibra Gaming. The agreement will see BETBY deliver its full sportsbook solution to Vibra Gaming, further accelerating its expansion across the LatAm region.

Through this collaboration, Vibra Gaming will integrate BETBY’s complete sportsbook offering covering more than 500,000 monthly events, including its advanced AI-powered tools, AI Labs, and proprietary esports feed, Betby.Games. Delivered via a single, seamless API integration, the solution enables Vibra Gaming to incorporate a fully scalable sportsbook directly into its platform, allowing its operator partners to roll out sports betting efficiently while reducing technical complexity and accelerating time-to-market.

The integration addresses key challenges associated with launching a sportsbook, particularly the technical demands and resource requirements involved. By leveraging BETBY’s solution, Vibra Gaming can extend its platform capabilities without adding significant development overhead, while enabling its partners to introduce sports betting as part of a broader, multi-vertical offering.

A key component of the agreement is the inclusion of Betby.Games, BETBY’s award-winning esports feed, which aligns closely with Vibra Gaming’s localized approach. The portfolio features hyper-localized, industry-first titles such as eVaquejada and eFootVolley, designed specifically to resonate with Latin American audiences, further strengthening engagement across the region.

The partnership comes as BETBY continues to reinforce its position in Latin America, a strategic market where the provider has been actively investing and expanding its footprint. With operational licenses in Brazil and Peru, and a growing network of regional partners, this collaboration marks an important step in BETBY’s long-term growth strategy across LatAm.

Stefanos Karakidis, Business Development Director at BETBY, said: “This partnership is a natural fit for both sides. Vibra Gaming has built a platform that reflects the expectations of Latin American operators, and that creates the ideal environment for our sportsbook to deliver value. Besides that, what makes this collaboration particularly strong is how seamlessly our solution integrates into Vibra’s ecosystem, enabling their casino operator partners to expand into sports betting in a fast, efficient, and scalable way.”

Werter Luna, CEO at Vibra Gaming, said: “At Vibra Gaming, our priority is to provide our partners with flexible, locally relevant solutions that help them grow. Integrating BETBY’s sportsbook allows us to expand our platform with a best-in-class sports betting offering that matches our standards in terms of performance and adaptability. We’re particularly excited about the potential of combining their technology and esports content with our localized approach to further enhance the player experience across Latin America.”
