Liquipedia.net Partners with Esports Entertainment Group’s VIE.bet, the World’s Most Transparent Esports Betting Platform
Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. and its secure esports betting platform VIE.bet have partnered with Liquipedia.net, the world’s largest esports wiki and an affiliate of top esports organization Team Liquid. VIE.bet and Liquipedia will partner to create the most community-centric and responsible betting integration in esports, launching May 3, 2021.
Through their alliance, VIE.bet will be integrated into select Liquipedia pages, allowing Liquipedia’s millions of monthly visitors to see betting odds and place bets through VIE while having a safe experience. By partnering together, Liquipedia and VIE.bet are able to instill safety mechanisms that ensure betting information is only shown to users of legal age in VIE’s 150 whitelisted jurisdictions around the world, with another license in New Jersey pending. Betting information will be shown with visible guidelines on gambling safety, and users who prefer not to see sports betting odds will have the option to toggle them off. In partnership with VIE.bet, Liquipedia will also be publishing Esports Betting Advertising Guidelines as a Commons Wiki resource, in order to establish esports industry-wide best practices for safety, integrity and accountability in betting advertisements and partnerships.
VIE.bet and Liquipedia are committed to collaborating with enforcement and integrity institutions dedicated to safe and responsible esports betting and advertising. This includes working with the Esports Integrity Coalition (ESIC), a not-for-profit association taking responsibility for disruption, protection, investigation and prosecution of all forms of cheating in esports. In 2019, the coalition designated Esports Entertainment Group an Anti-Corruption Supporter, enabling VIE.bet to participate in ESIC’s global suspicious bet alert system, contribute to anti-corruption education initiatives, and tap into ESIC’s accumulated best practices for sports betting.
Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports Entertainment Group, said: “Esports communities have incredible passion and competitive drive, which makes for an exciting betting landscape. Unfortunately, that passion and drive is often taken advantage of, and there’s significant distrust towards betting platforms in the space. We believe there’s a better way forward in esports betting that comes from collaboration with trusted institutions. We’re proud to work with Liquipedia and VIE.bet on this new initiative, and we’re confident in VIE.bet’s ability to foster an active esports betting community by building a safe, trusted experience.”
Bux Syed, Director of VIE, said: “Liquipedia has been part of my daily life for at least 10 years. I use them to check the latest tournaments, upcoming matches and results; me and 700 million other esports fans like me visit their platform each year. As a new esports betting brand, we’re aiming to grow our brand through community based projects. It’s a no brainer for us to partner with Liquipedia and its community to educate esports fans about safe and regulated gambling. My team and I are extremely excited to work with the Liquipedia team, and we’re looking forward to introducing VIE and engaging with its community.”
Erik Saler, Head of Liquipedia, said: “A lot of esports sites have integrated betting in careless ways, sadly. As one of the largest resources in esports we not only felt a responsibility to do this better, but we also felt that if we do it right – with the right partner, in the right way – we could help improve betting in esports as a whole and make it safer for all. We are proud to have found like-minded allies in VIE.bet who share our values of community, safety, responsibility, and integrity.”

ThrillTech secures AGCO supplier licence for Ontario launch
ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.
The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.
Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”
The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.
ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

ThrillTech said it has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to offer its side-bet jackpot technology to regulated online casino, sports betting, and lottery operators in Ontario.
Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”
The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.
ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners.

St8 Secures Alberta Licence, Strengthening North American Expansion
Casino games aggregator and full-service technology provider St8 has secured its registration to operate in Alberta as an iGaming Services Supplier, marking another significant milestone in the company’s strategy to expand across North America’s regulated iGaming markets.
St8 was among the first suppliers to secure a conditional approval granted by the AGLC, underlining the company’s readiness to support operators as the province prepares to open its regulated iGaming market.
Alberta represents a key market in St8’s North American growth strategy and follows the company’s expansion into Ontario earlier this year. With its latest approval, St8 is now regulated in some of the industry’s most sought-after jurisdictions, including Sweden, the UK, Romania, and Ontario, among others.
The Alberta approval enables St8 to provide its next-generation game aggregation services to licensed operators in Alberta, giving partners access to more than 200 premium game providers through a single API integration, alongside bonus and promotional tools, advanced reporting, compliance capabilities, and a suite of operational features designed to simplify casino management.
Purpose-built with modern infrastructure and regulatory flexibility at its core, the St8 software enables operators to launch premium casino content quickly, while also reducing the operational complexity typically associated with multi-provider integrations and expansion into new markets.
This registration builds on St8’s growing presence in regulated jurisdictions and reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting operators with scalable, compliant technology as new opportunities emerge across North America and beyond.
With compliance, speed and operational efficiency at the heart of its product, St8 remains focused on helping operators enter new markets with confidence while delivering seamless access to premium casino content through a single integration.
Eva Alšauskaite, Head of Legal at St8, said: “Securing our Alberta supplier registration represents another important step in St8’s international growth strategy and reflects our continued investment in regulated markets.
“As jurisdictions continue to evolve, operators need technology partners that combine innovation with a deep understanding of regulatory requirements. Obtaining this registration demonstrates our commitment to meeting those standards while providing operators with a solution that makes expansion into regulated markets as simple and efficient as possible.”
