Gamingtec Implements ZingBrain.ai Solution
Platform and content provider’s operator partners can now offer players a personalised experience powered by ZingBrain’s pioneering AI engine and recommendation systems
Gamingtec, the provider of turnkey online sportsbook and casino platforms, has partnered with ZingBrain to bring the provider’s innovative artificial intelligence engine to its operator partners for the first time.
The deal will allow sportsbooks and casinos powered by Gamingtec to leverage ZingBrain’s state of the art technology “Zing AI”, which is similar to that used by the likes of Netflix and YouTube, to make recommendations to players based on multiple data sources, behaviours and preferences.
This in turn allows online sportsbook and casino operators to deliver a truly personalised experience to each player and which has been proven to drive engagement, increase wagering activity and ultimately maximise the lifetime value of each customer.
Zing AI is offered via two products – the Zing Sportsbook Recommendation System and the Zing Casino Recommendation System. Both track user behaviour on an operator’s site and not only the games they play and the bets they place, but also their journey across the book or casino.
From this, each system delivers recommendations including different bets that can be placed and games that can be played. This is displayed on specific widgets or via filtering content that is already on the site, such as odds and markets and new games, based on the player’s previous behaviour.
Gamingtec’s operators that use Zing AI can expect to see growth figures (on average) of:
- 20% increase in turnover
- 30% increase in bet count
- 150% increase in bet count per widget
- 150% increase in user engagement
Sapar Karyagdyyev, CEO, at Gamingtec, said: “We go to great lengths to ensure that our operator partners have access to ground-breaking tools and features that allow them to deliver a truly personalised experience to each customer and with Zing AI they will be able to do just that.
“Zing allows players to enjoy a similar user journey and content recommendation experience used by some of the most popular entertainment platforms in the world, and to be able to bring this to an online sportsbook or casino is absolutely game-changing.
“It is partnerships like that this have enabled us to emerge as a leading platform and content provider and we look forward to seeing our partners leverage the tremendous capabilities Zing AI has to offer.”
Vladislav Artemyev, CEO, at ZingBrain, said: “This industry is pioneering and progressive in so many ways, but we believe that it still lags behind others when it comes to user experience and recommendation processes. In Zing AI we have a powerful product that addresses this.
“We are thrilled to have entered into this partnership with Gamingtec and for its operator partners to be able to take advantage of our cutting-edge products.”

Caleta Gaming launches Cluster Cup high-volatility football-themed slot
New 7×7 cluster grid title ships with tumbling wins, progressive multipliers, Super Tricks and a Free Spins feature.
Caleta Gaming has launched Cluster Cup, a new high-volatility slot inspired by football and pitched around major June sporting events. The title is now available to operators worldwide, the supplier said.
Cluster Cup uses a 7×7 cluster grid and a Tumbler Feature, where winning symbols disappear and cascade with new ones until no further wins are formed. Caleta said this is designed to support extended win sequences.
According to the studio, the game runs at an RTP of 93.42% and includes a Progressive Multiplier that increases during gameplay through a “Tumble Timer” mechanic, paying out at the end of each tumbling sequence.
The game also includes “Super Tricks”, triggered when three or more tumbles occur in a single spin, randomly activating one of four features: Wild Shots, Symbols Exchange, Red Cards, or Big Gloves. A Free Spins bonus is available through gameplay or direct purchase.
“With Cluster Cup, we aimed to translate the thrill of football into a slot experience, adding our own touch with an awesome art style and dynamic animations”, said Pedro Vahl, Game Designer at Caleta Gaming. “The combination of tumbling mechanics, evolving multipliers, and the Super Tricks system creates moments of real tension and excitement, just like a match where everything can change in a single play.”

Acquisitions/Merger
Waterhouse VC takes 3-year option to buy stake in Spinlab Studio
Waterhouse VC has secured a 3-year option to acquire an interest in Spinlab Studio, a no-code iGaming platform aimed at helping operators launch and scale online betting and casino businesses without building full infrastructure.
Spinlab Studio positions its product as a full-stack platform that streamlines integrations across payments, games, compliance and backend systems. The company says the platform is built to support operators targeting regulated markets, with compliance, payments and responsible gambling tools included in the core product.
Tom Waterhouse, Chief Investment Officer of Waterhouse VC said “Spinlab Studio is one of the fastest-moving platforms we’ve seen in this space, with strong early demand from operators. They are addressing a key operational challenge – helping operators bring products to market more efficiently and quickly without the usual complexity”.
Leon Lanen, Co-Founder of Spinlab Studio said “Launching an igaming operation is still too complex and expensive. Spinlab Studio removes that friction so operators can get to market quickly and focus on building their business. We aim to do for the igaming industry what Shopify did to e-commerce”.
Spinlab Studio said it launched in January 2026 and has onboarded around 30 operators. It offers a free trial and pricing that starts from approximately US$1299 per month, with tiered plans that scale with operator activity. The company also said it recently closed an oversubscribed seed round backed by founders and early investors of “one of Europe’s leading listed igaming technology companies”, with proceeds allocated to sales expansion and platform development.

Conferences
Gaming in Holland Conference publishes initial agenda for June 4 in Amsterdam
Gaming in Holland has published the initial agenda for the Gaming in Holland Conference, set for Thursday, June 4 at the KIT Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam.
The preliminary programme includes a keynote on “Market developments & regulatory responses” from Ella Seijsener, Director Licensing & Supervision at the Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA). Two boardroom sessions are confirmed with Arjan Blok, CEO of Nederlandse Loterij, and Petra de Ruiter, CEO of Holland Casino.
Other listed sessions include “The challenge of the black market: Towards a European response” with Pascal Chaffard, Chief Online Betting and Gaming Officer at FDJ United; “The Dutch gambling market in numbers” with Josh Hodgson, COO at H2 Gambling Capital; and “Player protection in the Dutch market” with Floor van Bakkum, Team Manager Player Protection at the KSA.
A panel titled “#ReclaimTheMarket: Will players go along?” will feature Dr. Andreas Ditsche (iGaming.com) and Richard Dennys (Mr. Gamble), moderated by Martin van Geest (Meneer Casino). Additional agenda items include a session on comparing onshore and offshore game popularity (Jeffrey Haas, Blask Business Intelligence) and one on KSA reliability assessments covering licensing and M&A approval (Frank Tolboom, Franssen Tolboom Advocaten).
Gaming in Holland founder Willem van Oort said: “While the annual Gaming in Holland Conference has always been THE place to get the latest news and updates on the Dutch gambling market, this year we are tackling one of the major issues facing licensed operators in regulated markets: How do we reclaim lost market share from increasingly aggressive illegal competitors? Obviously, there are no simple solutions, but that doesn’t mean that stakeholders in the regulated market are powerless. As all key decision makers and stakeholders in the regulated Dutch gambling market will be present in Amsterdam, I am certain that we can get a fruitful discussion started.”
