Netgame Entertainment joins Greenlogic® Program
Up and coming developer to work with Stakelogic to create a series of slots that will be distributed to the developer’s 500+ operator partners
Netgame Entertainment has become the latest developer to join Stakelogic’s hugely popular collaboration platform, Greenlogic®.
By joining the Greenlogic® Program, Netgame Entertainment will develop slots in partnership with Stakelogic and then distribute them to the developer’s 500+ operator and aggregator partners.
Netgame Entertainment will come up with the game concepts, specifications, gameplay and assets while Stakelogic will handle more technical aspects of development and distribution.
This includes game logic, certification, localisation, testing and distribution and integration. Games will launch under the Stakelogic brand with Netgame Entertainment listed as a co-creator.
Stakelogic created the Greenlogic® Program to provide smaller studios with a platform to showcase their talents and skills and to give them greater access to operators and aggregators.
Netgame Entertainment was founded in 2012 and is laser-focused on quality and committed to doing everything with passion and professionalism. Netgame Entertainment dedicated themselves to working on the HTML5 platform which has allowed them to build slot hits such as Magic Tree, Golden Skulls & Diamond Shot.
Stephan van den Oetelaar, CEO of Stakelogic, said: “I am delighted to welcome Netgame Entertainment to our Greenlogic® Program and to collaborate on a series of games.
“Netgame Entertainment is one of the fastest growing developers in the sector and combining its creative talents and skills with our technical abilities is undoubtedly a winning formula.
“Of course, one of the biggest upsides to joining the Greenlogic® Program is that developers can access our incredible distribution network, with more than 500 operators and nine aggregators.
“This will ensure the games we create under this partnership enjoy the widest possible distribution among some of the biggest operators in markets around the world.”
Andrey Zhurilo, CEO at Netgame Entertainment, said: “The Greenlogic® Program provides us with an incredible opportunity to work with Stakelogic on a series of special slot games.
“Not only that, but we will be able to distribute our games to more operators than ever before, ensuring players in markets around the world can experience what we have to offer.
“As a smaller developer, getting in front of big-name operators is tough but by joining the Greenlogic® Program we will gain direct access to some of the biggest names in the industry.
“In the meantime, we look forward to collaborating with Stakelogic to turn our concepts and ideas into what we believe will be some of the most popular slots of the year when they hit lobbies in 2021.”

State of the African Video Game Industry 2026: Xsolla Backs SpielFabrique’s Definitive Market Report
Xsolla today announced its support for State of the African Video Game Industry 2026, a comprehensive new report from SpielFabrique and researcher PhD Prince Oguguo that maps the size, structure, and growth dynamics of Africa’s fast-evolving games ecosystem. The study delivers data-driven insight into developer realities, market infrastructure, monetization trends and strategic recommendations for partners and investors.
Key findings at a glance
-
Market size: Africa’s video games industry generated approximately $1.8 billion in revenue in 2024, driven predominantly by mobile gaming (≈90% of the market).
-
Growth drivers: A young, mobile-first population, rising smartphone adoption and broader digital services are fueling above-average expansion across the continent.
-
Structural challenges: Persistent pain points include payment friction, limited funding, uneven internet and platform infrastructure, and the lack of a unified continental market.
-
Diverse ecosystems: The report stresses regional variation — with deep dives into Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Egypt, and Morocco — showing how local payment systems, regulation and culture shape monetization and discoverability.
Why this report matters
“Supporting research like this helps ground industry conversations in real data and lived developer experience,” said Ilayda Bayari, VP of Business Development, MEA + Southern Europe at Xsolla. The report equips publishers, platforms, investors and policy-makers with actionable intelligence to build more sustainable partnerships with African developers.
Focus areas and recommendations
SpielFabrique’s study examines three critical levers for growth:
-
Payments & distribution: Local payment methods and mobile money are essential to improve conversion and lifetime value for African titles.
-
Funding & infrastructure: Targeted investment and improved developer tools/platforms are needed to scale studios beyond domestic markets.
-
Talent & esports: Clearer talent pathways, education programmes and esports ecosystems will strengthen local production and audience engagement.
Regional snapshots
The research highlights how national differences influence outcomes: strong indie scenes in Nigeria and Kenya, established studios and distribution channels in South Africa, and growing developer communities in North African markets such as Egypt and Morocco.
Launch and supporting activity
The State of the African Video Game Industry 2026 report became available on January 29, 2026, and was launched with a coordinated website feature, social media rollout and a post-launch community webinar to share insights and facilitate industry discussion.
Voices from the field
“After more than seven years working alongside African game makers and ecosystem builders, I’m proud to share this comprehensive overview of where the market stands today,” said Pr. Odile Limpach, Co-founder of SpielFabrique. The report aims to catalyze cooperation and make markets more visible — enabling partners to act on opportunities while appreciating local challenges.

Huddle Launches Upgraded Ice Hockey Odds Feed for 2026 Winter Olympics & NHL Coverage
Huddle, the premium odds-feed provider, today announced a major upgrade to its global ice hockey product ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics. The release adds proprietary automation, broader market coverage and enhanced uptime—bringing sharper player-prop pricing and deeper pre-match and live micro-markets for operators worldwide.
Automated, adaptable trading for every competition
Huddle’s enhanced offering is powered by an adaptable trading model built to handle tournaments, league play and one-off matches. Operators accessing the product via Huddle’s Unified Odds Feed or through direct integration will gain reliable markets across top competitions including the NHL, Sweden’s SHL, and the Czech Extraliga. The update targets historical volatility in non-major leagues and simplifies trading across rule variations and local formats.
Deeper markets, better player-prop accuracy
The upgraded feed increases market depth for both pre-match and in-play action, with focused coverage on popular player-prop markets such as Player Goals, Points, and Next Goalscorer—plus a range of micro-markets that drive re-betting and longer player engagement. Improved automation reduces manual intervention, delivering faster, more accurate lines and higher uptime for operator platforms.
Engineered for uptime and regional coverage
Huddle reworked the underlying architecture to meet the demands of global distribution and local league nuances. The resilient framework gives operators confidence that regional competitions and live events are priced consistently—removing friction and reducing operational risk when covering the full ice hockey calendar.
Operator benefits: trust, revenue, and retention
By combining precise player props, expanded market coverage and robust uptime, Huddle’s ice hockey upgrade helps operators:
-
Increase re-bet frequency and session length through granular micro-markets
-
Improve conversion with reliable live pricing and reduced latency
-
Expand product breadth across markets and regions without excessive engineering overhead
Leadership view
Francesco Borgosano, CEO at Huddle, said the Winter Olympics spotlight makes consistent coverage crucial: “We recognize that an NHL-centric approach isn’t enough… we’ve established a model that accounts for all variables to deliver the most premium, wide-ranging odds feed. From the gold medal game in Milan to a regular season match in the Extraliga, we’ve honed our product to be adaptable and profitable.”
Market context and next steps
The ice hockey upgrade follows Huddle’s recent distribution expansions for its NBA pricing feed, applying the same granular trading approach to hockey markets that are growing across Europe and the U.S. Operators can integrate via the Unified Odds Feed or direct API to unlock expanded ice hockey markets in time for Olympic and league-season demand.
