Amusnet has released Cocktail Splash, a high-energy crash game that blends summer vibes, fast decision-making and adrenaline-fueled gameplay into a bold new entertainment experience.

Set in a vibrant tropical ocean, Cocktail Splash throws players into a thrilling chase where a fearless rider glides across sparkling waves, cocktail in hand – while a relentless shark closes in, determined to steal the prize. Every second on the water raises the stakes as the multiplier climbs and tension builds, turning each run into a split-second decision: cash out or push further before the shark strikes.

At the heart of the gameplay is a simple but powerful risk-reward loop, enhanced by the 50% Cash Out feature, allowing players to secure part of their winnings while staying in the action for additional upside. This added layer of control creates more strategic depth without slowing down the fast-paced excitement.

Inspired by the signature Cocktail Rush experience, Cocktail Splash evolves the concept with sharper pacing, expressive visuals and an even more immersive crash structure. Powered by a Provably Fair algorithm, the game ensures transparent outcomes while maintaining the intensity and unpredictability that defines the genre.

With its mix of tropical aesthetics, instant engagement and high-stakes chase mechanics, Cocktail Splash reinforces Amusnet’s focus on delivering innovative, entertainment-driven crash titles designed to stand out in competitive game lobbies.

Amusnet continues to push the crash category forward – creating experiences that are not only visually striking but built to keep players on the edge of their seats from the first second to the last splash.

The UK Gambling Commission has announced that Tim Miller, Executive Director of Policy & Research, has decided to leave the Commission in September 2026 after 10 years of service.

Following his departure, Tim will take up a new role outside of the British regulated gambling industry, supporting governments, regulators and other organisations that are developing and overseeing gambling regulatory systems around the world.

During his time at the Commission, Tim has played a leading role in strengthening the Commission’s research and evidence base, bringing greater rigour and robustness to its research framework. He has overseen the development and launch of the Gambling Survey for Great Britain – the largest survey of its kind anywhere in the world – helping to transform the evidence available to inform gambling regulation and policy.

Tim has also led the Commission’s work to implement the Government’s Gambling Act Review White Paper, overseeing the introduction of a wide range of new protections and regulatory measures. These include reforms to age verification, financial vulnerability checks, remote game design, direct marketing controls and wider measures to make gambling safer, fairer and free from crime.

Tim Miller said: “I have worked at the Commission longer than anywhere else during my career and have found it the most rewarding and fulfilling role. In large part this has been due to the amazing and dedicated colleagues that I’ve had the pleasure to work alongside. That’s what made it a hard decision to leave but after ten years I felt ready for the next challenge.”

Sarah Gardner, Acting Chief Executive of the Gambling Commission, said: “Tim has provided outstanding service to the Commission for ten years. I would like to thank Tim for his significant contribution to gambling regulation and wish him every success in the future.”
