Groove moves up in the world to continue global expansion with new international headquarters
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.”

High 5 Games wins AGLC supplier approval ahead of Alberta iGaming launch
The supplier can now distribute its online casino titles beyond Play Alberta to all licensed operators in the province.
High 5 Games has secured supplier approval from the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC), allowing the studio to supply its online casino content to all licensed operators in Alberta’s newly opened commercial iGaming market.
The company has been live in the province since 2024 via Play Alberta, the government-operated platform, where it said titles including DaVinci DeluxeWays, Billionaire’s Bank and Green Machine have become player favourites. With the commercial market now open, High 5 Games said the same portfolio can be offered across operators entering Alberta.
Alberta’s commercial iGaming market is set to open on July 13, 2026, becoming Canada’s second province after Ontario to allow private-sector operators. The market is overseen by AGLC and the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC) and launched with nearly 50 registered operator brands, according to the company.
“Alberta players already know and love our games through Play Alberta, that is a head start no newcomer to this market can claim. With the open market live, every operator in the province can now offer their players the award winning High 5 titles they have been playing for years, from day one.” says Tony Singer, CEO at High 5 Games.
High 5 Games said the AGLC approval expands its regulated North American footprint, which it listed as including New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, West Virginia, Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia. The company said it has developed more than 300 games over three decades.

Jackpot.com adds THNDR PvP skill games across six US states
Jackpot.com has launched real-money player-vs-player (PvP) skill games and tournaments through a new partnership with B2B skill games platform THNDR. The games are now live in Arkansas, Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Ohio via the Jackpot.com app on iOS and Android.
Under the rollout, Jackpot.com users can play head-to-head skill titles including Solitaire and Blocks, as well as tournament formats intended to drive repeat engagement alongside draw games and scratch tickets.
“Jackpot.com is the first big operators in real-money gaming to put skill games in front of its players, and launches at this scale are how skill gaming goes mainstream,” said Desiree Dickerson, CEO and co-founder of THNDR. Dickerson added that THNDR’s network has seen “more than 160 million games played and verified” and cited a “99.99% match-fill rate.”
THNDR said its cross-operator liquidity matches players against “a real opponent” and uses “patent-pending game verification and a 50/50 target win rate” for match integrity. The company also positioned the offering as compliance-ready for regulated operators, noting that its CEO chairs the Online Skill Games (OSG) Committee within the International Gaming Standards Association (IGSA).
“Jackpot.com has always believed the future of gaming is a single platform where every type of player finds their game. The launch of skill games and tournaments is the next step in that vision: expanding how players engage, giving them more reasons to return, and more ways to win,” said Dharin Nanavati, Chief Growth Officer at Jackpot.com.

GGPoker adds Action Voice packs featuring Doyle Brunson and other pros
New software option replaces standard table announcements across cash games, tournaments and formats including All-In or Fold and Spin & Gold.
GGPoker on July 9, 2026 announced Action Voice, a new software feature that lets players replace standard table announcements with voice packs recorded by poker personalities, including Doyle Brunson.
The initial lineup named by the operator includes ten-time WSOP bracelet winner Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi and Kevin Martin, with additional voices “to be confirmed in the near future.”
Action Voice is available now across GGPoker’s product offering, including cash games, tournaments and formats such as All-In or Fold and Spin & Gold. Players can select voice packs in the desktop client via ‘My Page’ and then ‘My Action Voice’.
“Doyle Brunson may not be at the tables in the way that he used to, but his voice still can be,” said Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker. “Action Voice is our way of keeping the legends who built this game part of the everyday experience – right alongside the players carrying it forward today, like Daniel and Michael. It’s a unique and fun new element to our software, and we can’t wait to reveal the rest of the lineup soon.”
GGPoker said more Action Voice packs will be announced in the coming weeks as it rolls out the full roster.
