Bragg’s ORYX Gaming Secures Casino Interlaken Deal
ORYX exclusive content goes live on StarVegas in significant Swiss boost
ORYX Gaming, a Bragg Gaming Group company, has secured an agreement to supply its range of exclusive slots to Swiss operator Casino Interlaken, marking the iGaming supplier’s expansion in the market.
The deal provides players at Casino Interlaken’s online brand, StarVegas.ch, with access to ORYX’s proprietary slots library as well as its selection of exclusive RGS content from providers including GAMOMAT, Golden Hero, Kalamba Games, Giveme Games and Peter & Sons.
The deal has been made possible by ORYX’s ISO/IEC 27001 certificate which underpins the supplier’s commitment to information security and is a prerequisite of entering the regulated Swiss online market which opened in January 2019.
In the latest figure released by the Swiss gambling regulator, the seven casinos that offered online games in the country in 2020 achieved gross gaming revenue of approximately US $203 million (CHF186.8 million). This compared to US $26 million (CHF23.5 million) generated in 2019 when only four casinos were operating online.
The partnership with Interlaken marks ORYX’s third in the country following deals with leading operators Grand Casino Luzern and Grand Casino Baden.
The Interlaken deal is the latest in ORYX’s continued growth across European regulated markets and comes on the back of recent entries into Greece, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom markets. The supplier is now licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), the Romanian National Gambling Office (ONJN), and the Greek Hellenic Commission (HGC) and its content is certified or approved in multiple other key jurisdictions.
Chris Looney, Chief Commercial Officer at Bragg Gaming, said: “Our partnership with Interlaken is another important step in our efforts to grow our game provision in the industry.
“Switzerland is a market with much potential and it’s a feather in our cap to have our content on such a well-respected brand there.”
Jens Sellgrad, Chief Operating Officer, at Interlaken, added: “We’re always looking to have the latest quality content available to our players and this agreement with ORYX certainly delivers that.
“The seamless manner in which the delivery has taken place is especially pleasing and we’re confident this solid start will continue through our relationship.”

The SYNOT Group will continue its cooperation with the BERANI ZLÍN hockey club as its main partner in the upcoming season. This builds on last year’s partnership, which became an important driver for the further development of hockey in Zlín.
The continued support from SYNOT is a clear signal that investment in sports remains one of the company’s priorities. Ice hockey is perceived as an essential part of community life, bringing joy to fans of all generations and inspiring young athletes to spend their free time actively.
The partnership will once again be reflected in the visibility of the SYNOT brand – from players’ jerseys to the ice rink and other club materials.
As one of the traditional names in Czech sports, the Zlín hockey club holds a special place in the country’s sporting landscape.

GGL Warns: Illegal Online Gambling Puts Young People in Particular at High Risk of Addiction
Reading Time: < 1 minute
Illegal gambling providers target their online offerings specifically at German players. However, without age controls, stake and deposit limits or blocking systems, the risk of gambling addiction can increase – especially among young people. On the occasion of the annual Gambling Addiction Action Day on September 24, 2025, the Joint Gambling Authority of the German States (GGL) issued a strong warning against such illegal offerings.
“Anyone who plays illegally plays without protection. Illegal platforms do not offer effective player protection mechanisms. Anyone who plays there runs a significant risk of developing a gambling addiction,” Ronald Benter, CEO of GGL, said.
Preventing gambling addiction is an important part of the GGL’s work. The authority focuses on three key aspects:
Information about risks and protective mechanisms,
Combating illegal offers that pose particular risks,
Control of legal providers to ensure that all player protection regulations are adhered to.
The task of the GGL is to consistently enforce the legal requirements of the State Treaty on Gambling with regard to player protection for permitted providers.
“Sports betting is a growing market; consistent oversight of legal providers, along with combating illegal betting services, is important to protect players and ensure legal certainty in the market,” said Sebastian Buchholz, head of the “Licensing and Supervision of Legal Gambling” department at GGL.
Gambling addiction develops gradually. Anyone who notices warning signs such as increasing stakes or social withdrawal should seek help early.
