Supplier enjoys 72 per cent growth in regulated market turnover

Casino game and software developer Red Tiger has announced that it enjoyed the best year in the company’s history following a notable list of commercial achievements.

The Malta-based supplier, which celebrated its sixth birthday in October, was purchased by Evolution alongside NetEnt earlier this month in one of the industry’s biggest ever B2B deals.

The takeover marked the culmination of an impressive 12 months that witnessed 72% growth in regulated market turnover, the roll-out of much-lauded new content, and impressive engagement levels for its innovative promotional features.

Red Tiger went live in Pennsylvania with Rush Street Interactive, as well as strengthening its position in the UK, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Finland, Austria, Denmark and Estonia.

Furthermore, it expects to have completed over 70 new integrations by the end of 2020 with operators including Sky Vegas, Partouche, SK365, Veikkaus and Win2Day.

These brands were among the first to benefit from new game titles like Dragon’s Luck Deluxe, Path of Destiny, Aurum Codex, Yucatan’s Mystery, Lords of the Wilds and Regal Streak, many of which attracted exclusive releases with some of iGaming’s biggest casinos.

Some of the studio’s classic titles enjoyed Megaways^TM makeovers or were boosted by the addition of Power Reels^TM, with July’s release of Gonzo’ Quest^TM Megaways^TM – a game which has enjoyed over one billion spins so far – proving to be Red Tiger’s most successful ever launch.

Players enjoying those games were rewarded with more than 11,000 jackpots, or the equivalent of 33 a day, with over 40 million Euros paid out over the year. An impressive 36 recipients walked away with over 50,000 Euros, whilst one lucky Betsson customer scooped 80,000 Euros on a daily jackpot payout.

Nick Vuchev, Head of Account Management at Red Tiger said: “2020 has been a difficult year for many and we’re very conscious of that when we reflect on our achievements, but there is much that we can be proud of at Red Tiger.

“Our product and partner portfolios, and the opportunities presented as we expand our footprints in regulated markets, bear witness to the hard work of everyone here and show how far we’ve come, not only this year but since we launched in 2015.

“Now that we’re part of the Evolution Group, I’m very confident that there is even more success to come in 2021.”

BALTENT’s slots-focused brand says the platform will support tracking, reporting and scalable partner management in regulated European markets.

Slots-focused online casino brand SpinsFriends has partnered with NetRefer to power and manage its affiliate programme as it expands across regulated European markets.

SpinsFriends is operated by BALTENT and runs two brands, Spins and Aladins. The company said it chose NetRefer in part because the platform already had an integration with its platform provider, enabling faster setup.

Artūrs Sarma, CEO and Founder at BALTENT, said, “NetRefer already had an existing integration with our platform provider, which made the decision straightforward and allowed us to move quickly with the setup. As we scale, having clear reporting and flexible commission structures is important, and the platform gives us the tools to manage our affiliate programme in a structured and efficient way. The onboarding process was well supported, and the team guided us through each step, which made the overall experience smooth.”

NetRefer said the deployment includes its Data Ingestion API for structured data transfer and real-time visibility into affiliate activity, alongside reporting tools such as BI Analytics and Report Builder. The vendor also highlighted NetRefer CoPilot AI for performance insights and “Enhanced Tracking,” which it said combines bot detection and user agent details.

Yuliia Borshch, NetRefer’s dedicated Account Manager for SpinsFriends, said, “SpinsFriends is a brand with a clear focus on building a structured and scalable affiliate programme, and we’re pleased to support that with technology designed to deliver both clarity and flexibility. Our platform provides the tools needed to manage performance with confidence, maintain transparency across its affiliate programme, and adapt as requirements evolve. We look forward to working closely with their team as they continue to grow.”

Simply by playing in High Five events, players will earn points towards either the High Leaderboard (buy-ins of $44 and over) or the Low Leaderboard (buy-ins of $33 or under).

The stakes are high and so are the names stepping in. ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker is locked in to play every Highest Five event, and so is CEO Phil Nagy. “The High Five Tournament Series has a fun vibe to it and I’m excited to be jumping into the new Highest Five tourneys,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “But what’s great about this series is that players of all bankrolls can get in on the action from small-stakes grinders to high-rollers.
