ESA Gaming strengthens team with new Head of Games
Innovative provider ESA Gaming has appointed Craig Asling as its new Head of Games, as the supplier sets out to boost its content portfolio.
Asling brings a wealth of industry experience and expertise and joins ESA Gaming from iSoftBet where he spent seven years, most recently in the role of Studio Lead and Game Producer. Before his venture into the iGaming industry, Asling held several positions in the video games sector.
In the newly created role, Asling will be responsible for expanding ESA Gaming’s portfolio of EasySwipeTM games, including the popular Mine Series, as well as rolling out a new collection of mobile slots.
The EasySwipeTM portfolio has been developed to seamlessly integrate into sportsbooks to offer players the best quality casino games without disrupting the sports betting portfolio. With fast-resolving, quick-gratification games, the titles give sports bettors an alternative experience and introduces them to a new vertical of casino games with proven cross-selling capacity.
After initial success since the introduction of the games collection in 2020, the appointment of Asling will see the portfolio strengthened further as ESA Gaming continues to execute its growth strategy across numerous regulated markets.
Zorica Smallwood, Director at ESA Gaming, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Craig, an experienced and creative content producer with a passion for games, to the ESA team. With his help and expertise, we will be able to inject more time and resources into further developing our product offering after what has been a successful period of growth for ESA Gaming.
“We have great plans for the future, and we look forward to introducing fresh and exciting content to players around the globe.”
Craig Asling, Head of Games at ESA Gaming, said: “I’m very happy to join the dynamic and innovative team at ESA Gaming and to be part of their future evolution.
“ESA’s content brings something unique to the market and with a vision to expand the offering further, it’s an exciting time for me to join the company.”

Peru and Brazil to provide launchpad for Latam expansion as ThrillTech strengthens presence in emerging regulated markets
ThrillTech, the B2B jackpot specialist, has taken a significant step forward in its international growth strategy after securing a B2B licence in Peru and regulatory certification in Brazil.
The approvals clear the path for ThrillTech to launch its proprietary player-funded jackpot solutions in Latin America for the first time, bringing its flagship ThrillPots product to one of the world’s most exciting and emerging regions for iGaming.
Latin America has become a focal point for operators in recent years, with Brazil’s market liberalisation and Peru’s structured regulatory framework, as set out by the country’s ministry of foreign trade and tourism (MINCETUR), providing fertile ground for innovative engagement tools.
By working tirelessly to secure entry into both countries, ThrillTech is positioning itself to support operators with compliant, performance-driven jackpot mechanics that can drive revenue and enhance retention.
Peter Mares, CTO and co-founder of ThrillTech, said: “Expanding into Latin America is a milestone moment for us. The region is bursting with opportunity, but it also demands solutions that are flexible, transparent, and built to scale. With a licence in Peru and certification in Brazil, we are ready to deliver the same measurable revenue impact to operators in Latam that we’ve already proven in Europe.
ThrillTech’s products are designed to provide operators with new revenue streams through side-bet jackpots, while also offering real-time engagement mechanics via cash-only rewards.
Already integrated with multiple tier-one operators in Europe, ThrillTech is now primed to replicate that success in Latam by delivering regulator-approved solutions to local operators.
