From June until now Scout Gaming has secured five agreements, of which four will be participating in the real money network. In addition, Scout has launched its Sportsbook on the first B2B client and is close to launching a previously disclosed collaborative venture with Razer Inc., the world’s leading life-style brand for gamers.

Scout Gaming, the world’s leading global provider of B2B Daily Fantasy Sports, Sportsbook, Fantasy betting and other related sport betting products has put pen to paper to several deals following this summer, of which four will be part of the world’s largest networked real money fantasy games, the Scout Gaming Network (SGN).

Recently, four new contracts with iGaming operators joining the network have been signed, out of which one operator has already gone live and two planned to launch before the end of the month. Last week a previously signed operator went live, making the total number of operators in SGN reach ten. With the addition of what is under integration, including Swedish market leader ATG, the number of SGN operators is expected to surpass fifteen by the end of year which would also mean that the number of SGN operators would then have doubled in less than 6 months.

Amongst the operators recently signed is Golden Matrix Group, a publicly traded Las Vegas based US turnkey content and white-label provider focusing on emerging markets. Another noteworthy addition is Olympic Entertainment Group, an Estonian licensed and regulated land-based and online casino operator who is currently number 1 online operator in Estonia, and top three in Baltics overall.

In addition to the growth of the real money network, Scout is bringing several new products to market. One of which is via a collaboration project with Razer Inc. the world’s leading lifestyle brand for gamers and innovator in the field of e-sports. The parties have collaborated in recent months to develop a mobile app(IOS/Android). Razer operates the world’s largest gamer focused ecosystem of hardware, software and related services and its roughly 150 million users will be able to enjoy Scout’s products by connecting their RazerID through the app.

A couple a weeks ago, the market leading Norwegian operator, Norsk Tipping went live with Scout Gaming’s software. They are currently under a beta-test for real-money-gaming which so far has met their expectations. It is the first time in eight years, a new gaming vertical for real money has been launched on the Norwegian market. Norsk Tipping are collecting customer feedback before going into a full market launch. We have long-term high expectations on Norsk Tipping to deliver substantial liquidity to SGN.

Adding to achievements, Scout has since 2019 been developing a Sportsbook on its proprietary tech stack, which entails setting up and growing an in-house odds trading and risk department. The Sportsbook via Fanteam.com and with the recent addition of live odds markets plus a long list of features planned in upcoming releases during the remainder of the year, the Sportsbook is now in the process of full commercialization.. In a given week the Sportsbook is covering roughly 20,000 betting markets spanning across 50+ international sports & leagues of which a sizable portion is attributable to Player Performance Odds also referred to as ‘fantasy bets’, unique betting markets only available via Scout Gaming. The first ‘full Sportsbook B2B client went live this month already taking bets via the Scout Sportsbook.

Andreas Ternström, Chief Executive Officer at Scout Gaming, said: “It’s with great pride when I recognize the rate at which our team is continuing to push boundaries. We continuously sign and launch operators at a rapid pace whilst executing on an ambitious roadmap. The level at which this company is bringing new products to life is one that I have never seen before. This is owed to the investments made in not only our own technology but the people that create it. It’s taken us a while to get here but in return we are building an extremely strong foundation for continuous growth over many years to come“

Meridianbet Doubles Down on Belgium: New Casino License Unlocks €455m Market Segment

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: This is a classic “Cross-Sell” play. Meridianbet has already spent seven years building a sports betting database in Belgium. By securing this B+ license, they can now monetize those same users with higher-margin casino products (slots, table games) without needing to acquire new traffic from scratch. With the Belgian casino sector growing at 20% year-over-year, this is a significant revenue unlock for the GMGI portfolio.

The Full Story

Meridianbet, the sports betting and gaming operator owned by Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI), has successfully expanded its regulatory footprint in Europe by securing a B+ online gaming license in Belgium.

The new license (B+ 4016) authorizes the company to launch a comprehensive online casino platform—featuring slots, table games, and automated live games—starting in January 2026. This move significantly broadens the operator’s capabilities in the country, complementing its existing sports betting operations which have been active in the Belgian market for seven years.

Targeting the Largest Market Segment The strategic rationale behind the license is clear: Casino is now the dominant force in Belgian gambling. According to the Belgian Gaming Commission, the online casino vertical generated €455 million in Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) in 2023, representing a 20.2% year-over-year increase.

By entering this vertical, Meridianbet gains access to the largest and fastest-growing segment of a market that generated a total of €944.6 million last year.

Tech-First Entry Meridianbet plans to deploy its proprietary AI Casino Recommender technology for the Belgian launch. This system analyzes player behavior and preferences in real-time to deliver personalized game suggestions, a crucial differentiator in a highly concentrated market where just ten operators account for 94% of all online wagers.

Regulatory Context Belgium is known for having one of Europe’s strictest regulatory frameworks, characterized by rigorous compliance standards and player protection protocols. Securing this license validates Meridianbet’s operational standards and deepens its foothold in a “mature” market that is notoriously difficult for new entrants to penetrate.

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: In the iGaming affiliate space, the five-year mark is a critical survival threshold. Many media startups fade away before reaching it. LinkDataMedia’s decision to rebrand now is a classic “graduation” signal. By shedding their startup skin for a more corporate, “blue-chip” aesthetic (the stability-focused blue triangle), they are telling operators and partners that they are no longer just an affiliate project, but a stable infrastructure partner ready for larger commercial deals.

The Full Story

LinkDataMedia, the parent company behind the popular affiliate portal Gamblers Connect, has announced a comprehensive corporate rebrand to coincide with its fifth anniversary.

The overhaul includes a completely refreshed brand identity, a redesigned logo, and a fully revamped website, all of which are now live. The move is described by the company not as a mere cosmetic update, but as a strategic pivot designed to distance the business from its “startup roots” and reflect its current status as an established player in the competitive iGaming media landscape.

Visualizing Maturity The new visual language features a modernized blue triangular logo, a shape chosen to represent “stability and forward momentum.” The digital user experience has also been streamlined, offering partners a cleaner interface that aligns better with the company’s matured operational capabilities.

Management Commentary Gjorgje Ristikj, Founder and CEO of LinkDataMedia, commented on the significance of hitting the half-decade milestone in such a volatile industry:

“Surviving the first five years in business takes more than luck. It takes belief, resilience, and the right people around you. This milestone, and the rebrand, reflect exactly that.”

Implementation The new branding has already been deployed across the main corporate website and is currently being rolled out across LinkDataMedia’s social media channels and internal communication platforms. As the company enters its sixth year, the refreshed identity aims to set the stage for a new phase of expansion and innovation.

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: As ICE makes its historic move to Barcelona, established tech providers like Win Systems are under pressure to bring their “A-game” to the larger venue. The focus here isn’t just on cabinets; it’s the ecosystem. By highlighting WIGOS (their CMS) alongside WIN PAY, Win Systems is positioning itself as an infrastructure partner, not just a hardware supplier. The debut of the Gold Club Colors roulette specifically targets the growing demand for visually customizable electronic table games (ETGs).

The Full Story

Win Systems, the global provider of technology for the gaming and entertainment industry, has confirmed its product roadmap for ICE Barcelona 2026, the sector’s most significant international event taking place from January 19 to 21.

Exhibiting at Stand 3M30 at the Fira Barcelona Gran Via, the company will leverage the new venue to showcase a broad portfolio designed to cover the entire casino floor—from management systems to the gaming floor itself.

Systems and Fintech At the core of the showcase is WIGOS, the company’s flagship Casino Management System (CMS). WIGOS is widely recognized for connecting thousands of machines across multiple countries, and the Barcelona display will focus on advanced tools that streamline daily operations and optimize player retention.

Complementing the CMS, Win Systems will present WIN PAY, its secure transaction platform. As cashless and seamless payment solutions become standard requirements for operators, WIN PAY offers the necessary efficiency and security controls for modern gaming environments.

Hardware: Roulette and Slots On the hardware side, Win Systems is refreshing its electronic table game offering with the new Gold Club Colors electronic roulette. The Gold Club line has long been a staple in the company’s portfolio, known for its compact footprint and reliability; the “Colors” iteration promises to maximize visual impact on the floor.

Alongside the roulette, the company will display its latest slot hardware, including the Sublime and Rhapsody cabinets. These units are designed to house the company’s extensive game library, which has been adapted to suit diverse market profiles from Europe to Latin America.

Strategic Goals Win Systems aims to use the three-day event to reinforce its 30-year legacy in the industry. The company described its participation as a commitment to “continuous innovation,” inviting operators and regulators to explore how their integrated solutions can improve in-room performance.
