Aggregator and platform Groove, which has secured a position as one of the world’s top-performing iGaming businesses, has announced the opening of a new global HQ in the iconic Bet Aviel Tower in Ashkelon as part of a capacity-building exercise to drive continuing rapid growth. The company also has operations in Georgia, Ukraine and Malta, employing over 100 people, which will be run from the state-of-the-art tower.

This is a very visible statement by the aggregator that it means business. Bet Aviel Tower stands out not least due to the stunning views it showcases, reaching across the city to the sea, several miles from the prestigious office location. Moreover, the iconic building and its views can be enjoyed from anywhere within due to glass partitions and the fact that all deskspace is positioned in front of the panoramic windows overlooking the vista.

The expansion will support a growing team and allow for more comprehensive support in regulated markets. Groove will continue to build a global presence to better serve its operator cluster and provide world-class facilities for its team. The company has rapidly built a powerful operator cluster around its technology and is supported by one of the strongest technical teams in the industry.

Groove’s aggregation platform provides a broad portfolio comprising thousands of games from respected international partners combined with pioneering backend tools for casino operators and is the content provider of choice for a host of big industry names including EveryMatrix, iGP, Digitain, Microgaming, ProgressPlay, Quickfire, BetConstruct Evoplay Entertainment and Alea, amongst others.

Groove’s powerful platform includes thousands of casino games as well as a wealth of aggregated content ranging from slots, online casino and live casino, to poker and table games, that operators can access via easy integration to drive player engagement and revenue from GrooveOn, an easy-to-use multifunctional back-office, which powers performance. GrooveOn has been developed to create a valuable environment for online casinos: a place where entertainment is customisable, secure and stable.

Commenting on the move to the new HQ, Yahale Meltzer, COO at Groove said: “The tech talent in Israel is incredible and this new office provides current and new team members with access to world-class facilities, enabling them to better serve our operator cluster and liaise with our content partners. Our plan is to continue to grow and get closer to our operators with superior service and place our technology in the hands of many more iGaming companies. Working in an office like this is inspiring for the whole team and we look forward to significantly growing our business here over the next couple of years.”

Tonybet says a player in Laurier-Station, Canada has claimed the “golden card” prize worth $20,000 CAD in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection. The announcement was made Tuesday 21st July 2026.

The World Cup collection featured 51 cards in total, including 48 digital cards representing participating World Cup nations, plus three unique prize cards in bronze, silver and gold. Tonybet said the bronze card—available during the group stage—was previously found by a customer in Saint-Colomban, Canada, while the silver card—available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals—was won by a player in County Kildare, Ireland.

The golden card became available for the semi-final, third-place play-off and final, and has now been claimed, Tonybet said.

Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “You can plan a campaign down to the last detail, but you can’t plan what the World Cup brings.

“We designed the collection to evolve with the tournament, and every knockout round created new stories we couldn’t have predicted. Seeing players complete their collections and discovering who would uncover each prize was the most rewarding part of the campaign.

“I hope everyone enjoyed the experience for what it was meant to be: a fun addition to the tournament, played responsibly and always within their limits.”

Tonybet said the collection will remain open until 31 July for players who are still completing sets and spending coins, although all grand prizes have been awarded.
