Online gaming industry veteran Morten Tonnesen has joined Shape Games as Chief Commercial Officer and also joins the Board bringing more than a decade of industry experience to the company as it aims to grow significantly in the U.S. online gambling market and across the world, Shape founder & CEO Christian Risom announced. Tonnesen was a long time marketing executive with gaming giant PokerStars and was most recently founder and CEO of sportsbetting operator BetWarrior.

Shape is a leading consumer app developer for major global brands and recently created Shape Games to address the specific needs of the online gambling industry. Risom and co-founders CPO Nicolas Linde, CIO Ole Gammelgaard and CTO Philip Bruce have created consumer apps for leading global brands including Apple, ebay, IKEA and Red Bull. Shape also has a long history with Danske Spil, Denmark’s state-run gambling operator of Oddset, the leading Danish online sportsbook.

Shape recently renewed a long-term agreement with Danske Spil and is accelerating growth in the burgeoning US sports betting market having launched with ballybet.com in Colorado and Iowa powering ‘Bally Friends’ with more US clients to come. The company is working in Latin America with BetWarrior.

“We are excited to bring Morten onboard and our clients will benefit from his deep management and marketing expertise in the online gaming sector,” Risom said. “We can deliver a full suite of products and services to local market land-based casino operators who are looking for a one-stop-shop consumer product partner to bring their business and their customers online. Morten’s deep experience will help us accelerate our growth and lead the way in the U.S. and European markets.”

Tonnesen said: “Shape Games has distinguished itself as a nimble, dynamic and innovative technology leader and I’m excited to help lead the company into its next stage of global growth. Shape’s consumer technology domain experience ensures that their modern, customer-focused apps stand above the traditional, clunky gaming apps from the first generation of online operators. This next generation must compete with not only other betting and casino companies, but with other entertainment choices including streaming and social games.”

Tonnesen points to Shape’s highly customisable native frontend as a unique innovation in the gambling industry and distinguishes the company as a sought-after B-to-B platform and service provider.

Innovative game provider establishes partnership with top international aggregator to deliver the next wave of live casino experiences to operators in licensed markets across the globe.

Avanti, the innovative live casino provider transforming the iGaming sector with its groundbreaking combination of motion capture technology and real-time cloud streaming, has revealed it has finalized a new strategic partnership with Light & Wonder.

Light & Wonder, a top aggregator and iGaming technology provider, has partnered with Avanti to deliver cutting-edge Live Casino solutions to operators in the EMEA and Canada.

Aimed at addressing the irregular display and expensive scalability of conventional live casino games, Avanti’s innovative method involves motion-capturing the movements and behaviors of expert dealers to produce highly realistic digital replicas.

Brought to existence through a mix of 3D animation and sound technology, the look and speech of these clones can be tailored to suit the demands of operators’ target markets, with the final output being streamed into games in impressive HD video.

By approaching it this way, Avanti alleviates the strain of constructing physical studios and persistent dealer expenses, offering a budget-friendly solution that’s flawlessly executed, devoid of human mistakes, and grants operators the freedom to open numerous tables at various limits as required.

The primary emphasis of the agreement will be on introducing the games in Spain and Brazil, marking Avanti’s debut in regulated market launches. For the first time, operators in Spain will have the opportunity to provide live games beyond roulette, featuring the supplier’s exclusive offerings, TORO Y MATADOR and TORO Y MATADOR TURBO EN VIVO, along with BACCARAT, DRAGON TIGER, and – significantly – LIVE BLACKJACK.

In Brazil, via Avanti, operators will gain access to an unlimited selection of Portuguese speaking dealers, as well as tables and bet limits designed to suit Brazilian players.

Jonas Delin, Co-founder at Avanti Studios, said: “Offering flawless presentation, cost-effective scaling and unlimited customisation potential, Avanti is the future of live casino – and we’re thrilled to be able to share content with operators through our collaboration with Light & Wonder.

“Since exiting our stealth mode at ICE, we’ve received a huge amount of interest from operators in Spain and Brazil and Light &Wonder is the perfect distributor to not only support our launch in those markets, but also as we continue to execute on our aggressive market expansion plans for 2026 and 2027

Stuart Banks, Managing Director – Global Partnerships at Light & Wonder, said: “As a company that’s always been at the forefront of innovation in iGaming, Light & Wonder is constantly on the lookout for games that offer something new – and Avanti’s next generation line-up of live casino titles certainly fit the bill.

“Avanti offers a fast and fully customisable solution that can easily scale to keep up with demand; and for that reason, their games are sure to be a popular addition for our operators.”
