The acquisition of Supersonic, their fourth UK studio, provides the perfect opportunity for Miniclip to move into the extremely popular puzzle genre, so taking another step in its quest to unleash the gamer in everyone.

Pete Williamson, CEO of Supersonic said “Having been independent for so long, joining a new partner is a very big deal for us. We’ve always admired Miniclip and having had the opportunity to get to know them over a period of several years we’re really confident we’ve found the perfect partner for us. We’re excited to start working with Miniclip properly, tapping into their expertise and resources to take our company to the next level.” This sentiment was shared by Andy Williamson, who added “We’re looking forward immensely to becoming part of the Miniclip family. The expertise Miniclip can bring to our business will be invaluable – it will help us grow more quickly than we ever could as an independent studio. We’re confident Miniclip will respect our culture and indeed enhance it. It’s a very exciting step and one we’re very happy to take.”

Commenting on the deal, Rob Small Founder and President of Miniclip, said “We have followed the journey of Pete and Andy and the team at Supersonic with great interest and are delighted to both welcome them to Miniclip and to support their growth within the puzzle category. This genre is the natural companion to a number of others in which we operate and we see this as a great opportunity to widen our audience further. “

OddsMatrix, EveryMatrix’s tier-1 sportsbook platform and odds feeds service, has agreed terms with US micro-markets provider nVenue in a mutually beneficial product partnership.

OddsMatrix will integrate nVenue’s leading micro-markets products enabling its customers to access the US market’s most popular sports including American football, basketball, baseball, ice hockey and motorsport.

As part of the agreement, nVenue will integrate OddsMatrix’s Fast Markets into its data aggregation platform, with a focus on soccer, and distribute them to its well-established customers, including major operator brands and suppliers in the US and internationally.

OddsMatrix launched Fast Markets in time for the start of the 2023-24 soccer season, enabling operators to offer a range of real-time, instant betting options across a variety of individual game moments.

Fast Markets supply leading sportsbooks with a wide range of in-game, time-driven soccer betting options, providing brands with a further revenue stream across a range of top leagues.

Micro betting, popular in the regulated US sports betting market, is a high-frequency, low-price sports betting product. It is increasingly seen as a key driver to boosting in-play wagering across several sports, creating new opportunities for operators to differentiate, while attracting a new generation of customers who favour instant entertainment, both increasing player engagement and casual player spend.

Tor Skeie, CEO, OddsMatrix, said: “Micro betting is one of the fastest growing betting formats in North America so we’re delighted to be able to provide our customers with access to one of the most innovative products available via nVenue.

“Combining both technologies and offering our fast soccer markets to their customers was a no-brainer. We’ve aligned perfectly with the nVenue team ever since we began partnership discussions and we’re looking forward to seeing the results.”

Kelly Pracht, CEO and Co-Founder of nVenue, said: “Partnering with EveryMatrix represents a key company milestone for nVenue as we expand the global reach of our micro-betting technology.

“EveryMatrix’s platform allows us to seamlessly integrate live, in-play betting opportunities, including micro-markets, into a vast international network of operators. This collaboration enables us to meet the evolving needs of bettors while delivering a new menu of well-timed, expertly priced live betting markets to customers around the world.”

Immersive virtual product adds 30,000 extra events to leading African sportsbook

Logifuture, a leading supplier of award-winning iGaming products, has strengthened its partnership with leading African sportsbook Bolabet with the integration of Zoom Soccer.

Zoom Soccer delivers ultra-realistic virtual events for sportsbook users, delivering tens of thousands of events every month for nonstop 24/7 action. With no off-peak moments and a packed schedule that’s always relevant, Zoom ensures continuous engagement. Powered by RNG for steady margins and consistent profits, it creates a fast-paced, immersive betting experience that mirrors the excitement of real football games.

This extended partnership means Bolabet is now able to offer more than 30,000 extra pre-match and in-play betting events each month to its players in Africa.

The move follows the successful addition of Simulate – another of Logifuture’s pioneering virtual products – to the Bolabet platform in August 2024.

Niccolo Cassettari, Group Chief Business Development Officer at Logifuture, said: “We are thrilled to deepen our collaboration with Bolabet through the addition of Zoom Soccer, building on the success we have seen with our Simulate partnership.

“At Logifuture, we remain focused on delivering fast-paced and entertaining sports products, and with the expansion of Zoom Soccer, we are poised to meet that demand.

“As the need for dynamic, quick-turnaround sports content increases, particularly in emerging markets, this integration will further strengthen Bolabet’s virtual sports portfolio and offer players an unparalleled gaming experience.”

Bolabet CEO Justin Palmer said: “Bolabet aims to deliver an engaging and interactive experience for our players and it’s a pleasure to welcome Logifuture’s Zoom Soccer to our product portfolio.

“The addition of Simulate last year has been hugely popular with our players and we are sure Zoom Soccer will further enhance our players’ experience.”
