Gamers’ Delight: GameFly Launches New Subscription Offerings and Console Drop Notifications
GameFly is rolling out several new tiers and offerings for gaming and movie fans everywhere. From budget-friendly to the works, GameFly’s new plans give gamers access to the entertainment they crave at a range of price points. One important thing will remain the same, however: GameFly’s Standard Subscription will stay at the same price, even as the service’s offerings improve.
“GameFly is listening to our customers,” says GameFly President Tim Hinsley. “We’re committed to constantly improving our service and offerings to our members. We are especially glad that we are able to do this without having to increase our standard plan price,” something the company has avoided for more than ten years.
GameFly is offering more ways to access games and entertainment than ever before. Though still focused on games and gamers, GameFly is expanding its movie/DVD service with new movies-only subscription tiers. The Elite level of movies-only membership gives members access to 4K discs, a much loved format that’s become increasingly hard to rent, as retail rental outlets close. (GameFly is now the only online reservation option for fans of 4K.)
Gamefly’s main focus, as always, remains games and gamers. It has unveiled a new Elite tier for its gaming members, with additional perks, and a Budget tier for the cost-conscious (the Elite and Standard tier game plans also include 4K disc availability). To help members take full advantage of the service’s members-only PS5 and Xbox Series X console sales, GameFly has just launched an email registration page, just for subscribers looking to purchase next generation consoles. (More info here.)
“We’ve been taking multiple steps this year to meet our members’ needs, starting with our GameLock feature, which for the first time, offered members a guaranteed rental,” explains GameFly Marketing Director Joe Slepski. “Secondly, we’ve shouldered more inventory costs on our side, by increasing our inventory on almost all games across the board. This breaks from the traditional rental model going back over 40 years, where 1:1 fulfilment was not possible. Additionally, we’ve added more service levels, giving members even more control on how we fit into their gaming styles.”
About GameFly Subscriptions:
GameFly has thousands of new releases and classics available to rent for Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS5, PS4, PS3, PS Vita, Switch, Wii U, and 3DS, as well as older systems, as well as 4k, Blu-ray and DVDs. GameFly members can rent as many console and handheld games as they wish, delivered to their mailbox for one monthly fee. Members can keep games they love for a low used price. There are never any due dates or late fees.

Partnership includes Men’s and Women’s football, Olympic sports, and Flamengo TV
Betano, one of the world’s largest online sports betting and gaming brands, has become the new principal and front-of-shirt partner of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo. The agreement, until the end of 2028, covers the men’s and women’s professional football teams, Olympic sports, and Flamengo TV.
With this partnership, Flamengo joins a select roster of major international clubs partnered with Betano, including F.C. Bayern München, Club Atlético River Plate, Aston Villa F.C., F.C. Porto, Sporting CP and SL Benfica, among others.
Flamengo, with one of the largest fan bases in the world and supporters spread across Brazil and beyond, was a natural fit for Betano. The club’s nationwide reach and passionate following were some of the key factors leading to the new partnership. For Flamengo, Betano is seen as the ideal partner to support its international expansion, with activations planned in both Europe and Latin America as part of the agreement. Equally important, Betano is a brand leading at the forefront of promoting responsible gaming, both in Brazil and across the international markets where it operates.
“Sponsoring Flamengo is a strategic decision that connects us with the largest and most passionate fan base in Brazil, strengthens our presence in the country and further expands our brand globally. We understand the responsibility this partnership carries and are committed to building a successful journey alongside the club,” said George Daskalakis, co-founder and CEO of Kaizen Gaming, operator of the Betano brand.
In addition to brand exposure through teams and athletes, the partnership also includes investment in social and sports development initiatives, reinforcing Betano’s and Flamengo’s commitment to creating a positive impact both on and off the field.
“This partnership with Betano is historic for Flamengo. Beyond being the biggest sponsorship in Brazilian football, it strengthens our projects across football and Olympic sports, supports our global expansion, and reinforces our commitment to our fans”, commented Luis Eduardo Baptista, President of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo.

Mobile iGaming isn’t a trend anymore—it’s the new default.

- Mobile-first UX: Fingerprint login, in-game wallets, and scrollable lobbies remove friction.
- New market regulations: Markets like Brazil are now opening to licensed apps, unlocking millions of players.
- Frictionless payments: From Apple Pay to Brazil’s Biometric Pix, fast deposits are now a mobile-native feature.
- User behavior shifts: Millennials and Gen Z expect short, impulsive, on-the-go sessions—and mobile delivers.
Mobile iGaming has clearly become the main arena for user activity and revenue growth. To find out more and see how operators can improve engagement and drive revenue with mobile strategies, read the full article.
