Groove COO makes the case for the value-added provided by the aggregation community
2021 has been a record year for aggregator and platform Groove on all fronts: record partner signings, record operator integrations, record new business, record use of backend GrooveOn and a move to a new global headquarters in Q4. While most companies might use these records to rest on their laurels for a while, Groove COO Yahale Meltzer has been making the case for the value-added provided by the aggregation community.
Groove provides a holistic set of solutions for multichannel B2B iGaming covering online and mobile gaming across all devices. 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.
Meltzer has been highlighting the positive role that aggregators play across the global industry, simplifying the game onboarding process, putting powerful marketing tools at the fingertips of operators and helping to drive greater profitability.
Groove has been breaking the mould in the iGaming industry since 2016 having pioneered a range of technology tools and services previously unavailable in the industry, including advanced business intelligence analytics that allows matching of content to players by region and helps drive operator revenue.
2021 saw Groove launch their enhanced easy-to-use multifunctional back-office GrooveOn which powers operator performance and delivers an expanded range of tools tailored to Groove’s operator cluster. GrooveOn has been developed to create a valuable environment for online casinos: a place where entertainment is customisable, secure and stable.
Meltzer argues that industry issues around regulation and compliance such as identity verification, anti-money laundering, self-exclusion, responsible gambling and even improving conversion rates are now covered holistically using platforms such as Groove, which deploy a range of algorithms and innovative automation to help streamline these mostly administrative processes. This is part of the value-added provided by the modern aggregation community.
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. This kind of easy-to-use plug-and-play format is ideal for operators who need to respond swiftly to changing market conditions, and who are supported by specialised customer service teams who are drawn directly from the casino and iGaming industries.
Groove is the content provider of choice for over 70 big industry names and has brought a raft of innovative content to the global market. Groove brings increased operator profit as well as enhanced user experience on both sides of the business, both B2B and B2C.
Meltzer says, “Business intelligence combined with specialist services is the next major change to be driven by the aggregation community and we are delighted to have been pioneers in this area. Aggregators are responsible for improving the image of the industry behind-the-scenes as well as being the change-agents for improved customer experience and interpretation of data. Our goal is one integration to deliver everything an operator will need to run a rewarding business.”

THE MONEYMAKER TOUR HEADS TO BIRTHPLACE OF THE ORIGINAL POKER BOOM WITH NEW LAS VEGAS STOP
MGM Grand to host Moneymaker Tour guaranteeing over $1.3 million in prize pools
Twenty one years after Chris Moneymaker sparked the poker boom, The Moneymaker Tour is heading to Las Vegas, the tour announced today.
An agreement with MGM Grand Hotel & Casino will see the Tour’s first edition in the city that witnessed the original arrival of its founder to the poker scene. The Moneymaker Tour will join the summer poker action in Las Vegas from June 28 to July 6 at MGM Grand with a series guarantee of $1.3 million across six trophy events.
The feature event of the stop will be the $1,700 Main Event which boasts a $1 million guarantee and will run from July 3 – July 6. MGM Grand will host its third Summer Poker festival starting May 29 and feature 39 trophy events and over $3.7 million in total guarantees (including the Moneymaker Tour week).
“Las Vegas is the beating heart of the poker world. It’s where the game’s legends and stories, including Chris’, have been made,” said Tony Burns, Executive Manager. “To host an event in the same city that Chris won the 2003 Main Event in is a full circle moment. We are excited to partner with MGM Grand this Summer and look forward to being a part of their festival on June 28th thru July 6th. The Moneymaker Tour was created in 2023 by 2003 WSOP Champion and ACR Team Pro, Chris Moneymaker and Moneymaker Tour Executive Manager, Tony Burns.”
The Tour was conceived as a way for Moneymaker to give poker players opportunities to have their own ordinary to extraordinary moments as he did. Since its inception, there have been seven events in locations such as Florida, Cincinnati, Houston and Ohio.
Steven Pique, MGM Grand’s Director of Poker, said, “Our 2024 Summer Poker Festival kicks off later this month and we look forward to hosting the Moneymaker Tour in our MGM Grand Poker room. The main event will culminate with a No Limit Hold ‘em $1 million guarantee, one of the highest we’ve offered our tournament players. Chris Moneymaker embodies the spirit of poker through his tireless efforts and positive contributions to this great game.”
