Battle Royale is a revolutionary new Sit & Go format inspired by battle arena video games, with each No Limit Hold’em Progressive Bounty game beginning once 100 participants have registered. The game is made up of three levels:

  • Level 1: Rush Zone

    • Gameplay Format: this is a non-stop action Rush Tournament level, during which players instantly move to a new table and are dealt hole cards whenever their involvement in the previous hand finishes

    • Length: level 1 ends once the number of players is reduced to 50 or at the 15-minute mark if more than 50 participants remain; in this circumstance the top 50 players by chip count advance

  • Level 2: Shootout Zone

    • Gameplay Format: this is a high-intensity shootout level, with the remaining 50 players seated at ten five-handed tables, each playing down to a single surviving participant

    • Length: level 2 ends once there is a single surviving player seated at all ten tables; if more than one participant survives at any table after 15 minutes of play, the gameplay changes to Flipout, with the remaining players automatically all-in until all table winners are determined

  • Level 3: Final Table

    • Gameplay Format: standard final table, with each of the 10 remaining players guaranteed a prize and the outright battle royale victor taking home the winner’s share of the prize pool

    • Length: as long as it takes!

“The action’s been thrilling and intense in equal measures since Dan Bilzerian’s Battle Royale launched,” said Paul Burke, Head of PR at GGPoker. “The percentage of players coming back to take their shot in multiple games has remained at a consistently high level since Day 1, and the feedback we’re getting is overwhelmingly positive.”

New GGPoker players are eligible to claim the poker room’s Welcome Bonus, earn even more rewards with the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion and automatically join GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program, with regular cash prizes on offer.

Nolimit City is serving up a twisted carnival treat in Munchies. Step into the fair grounds as Nolimit’s latest Labs game released following the release of Outsourced: Slash Game. As a Labs title, expect a fresh and experimental spin on the classic Nolimit style. In the heart of the carnival tents lies a curious attraction: Fluffers—a cute, cuddly, but oh-so-smelly creature that’s causing quite the commotion among visitors. Some may say it’s the attraction of the year!

In Munchies, you get up close and personal to Fluffers, who hides a screen in it’s belly. The reel displays one symbol per spin, which can either be a multiplier or a blank. With xBet choose between playing with 2 or 4 reels and introducing Linked Wins to the mix. In the case of a multiplier higher than the subsequent reel, its value will be transferred to the subsequent reel. When a Bonus Symbol lands with multiple active reels, they also transform to the subsequent reel rewarding up to 40 Free Spins! God Mode is also an attraction at the carnival.

Fluffers goes from adorable to ravenous in It’s Alive Spins!! However, things get even more ferocious in Devour Spins. When landing a Bonus Symbol in It’s Alive Spins awards and extra 5 Free Spins per Bonus Symbol. The difference in Devour Spins is that the highest multiplier value which lands, gets locked above the reel area and is rewarded to a player with each spin. Whenever a higher multiplier lands on the lower reels, they will replace those locked Multipliers above.

Munchies is a one of a kind slot with a new mechanic that will make you scratch your head in excitement with Linked Wins and a maximum payout of 10,000x the base bet with 1 Reel, 20,000x the base bet with 2 Reels and 40,000x with 4 Reels. Munchies, unlike Nolimit City’s high-volatility slots, is rated as ‘High Volatility’ so be careful because Fluffers doesn’t discriminate when it comes to it’s food!

Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “Fluffers is a deceptively cute little monster with one thing on his mind: MUNCH! Munchies is unlike anything we’ve dished out before—equal parts quirky and daring. The Linked Wins mechanic allows players to play the way they want, especially on 4 reels, where things get downright crazy. Just don’t get too attached to Fluffers… he’s got a big appetite!“

Money laundering is a threat in all sectors of society where money is present, including the gambling sector. The Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling (BOS) is therefore today presenting two initiatives related to money laundering.

Firstly, BOS presents an AML (Anti Money Laundering) checklist with bullet points that BOS recommends that online gambling companies on the Swedish gambling market follow. The purpose is to reach the highest possible standard in the work against money laundering, in regards to authorities and society in general.

Secondly, BOS presents in collaboration with the consulting agency Advisense a report on money laundering and the Swedish online gambling market. The report is based on interviews with BOS member companies and contains concrete proposals for improved AML work in the gambling sector, for gambling companies as well as banks and authorities. For example, with inspiration taken from the banking sector, the establishment of a Swedish Anti-Money Laundering Intelligence Task Force between the gambling industry and the Financial Police is proposed.

“Today we take this comprehensive approach to the problem of money laundering. The purpose is to make visible how the work against money laundering in the gambling industry can be improved. We present our report and checklist completely openly, so that even a gambling company that is not a member of BOS can use the material, if they so wish. We all win from that.”, says Gustaf Hoffstedt, Secretary General, The Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling.

Veikkaus Fined €2.9M for Advertising to Minors

Published

In May 2024, Finnish Operator Veikkaus received a request for clarification from the Police Board about its advertising in connection with television programmes that are also watched by minors. The company responded to the clarification request and adjusted its operations in cooperation with the authority. As a result, Veikkaus’ advertising will no longer appear in certain programme environments.

Veikkaus has received a marketing ban from the Police Board dated 12 November 2024 enhanced by a fine. It refers to the clarification request from May and highlights the wrongly placed advertisement that happened in July as a violation. In addition to this, it brings out new perspectives on the placement of advertisements in connection with television programmes. They have now included new programmes aimed at adults, but may also be of interest to minors. Examples include popular Saturday night entertainment programmes.

“It seems that the Police Board may interpret the matter in a new and broader way. We have been in contact with the Police Board as soon as the decision was made and we are going through this issue with them. We need clarity so that we know how to act correctly,” Anu Kytö, sales and marketing director at Veikkaus, said.

“We are very sorry that, despite our joint development measures, our advertising has been seen in the advertising breaks of programs aimed at minors due to human error,” Kytö added.

Veikkaus’ advertising is bought in such a way that the target group is people aged 25 and over. The media office books and the television channel places the ads based on viewer profiles. The instructions have been reviewed together with the Police Board.

“Veikkaus has been buying TV advertising from us for years, with an age distribution set for the purchase: more than 70% of the program’s viewers must be adults. This is a jointly agreed model that has been valid for years and is known to the authorities. Now we are waiting for possible new instructions,” MTV’s commercial director Sauli Asikainen said.

The ban is valid for three months and its validity begins 30 days after notification. The Police Board imposed a fine of 2.9 million euros as an effect of the marketing ban.
