Livespins joins forces with Fantasma Games

Studio’s chart-topping slots now part of social streaming bet-behind platform
Livespins, the provider of socially charged online casino experiences, has signed an agreement with Fantasma Games that will see the exciting game studio integrate its suite of slots into Livespins’ ground-breaking live streaming platform.
The partnership will see Livespins’ growing army of hugely entertaining streamers play some of Fantasma’s most popular titles while enabling players to join the ride and bet behind the streamer.
Livespins is keen to work with innovative and cutting-edge studios to offer the best game titles to its streamers as well as players. Fantasma certainly fits the bill with its suite of slots that have been designed to offer player experiences that go beyond gambling.
This includes slots such as Flower Fortune Megaways that allows players to climb through levels built into the game, unlocking additional bonus features as they do. Then you have Heroes Hunt and Heroes Hunt 2 where players unlock different characters as they progress through the game’s storyline.
Livespins integrates directly with an online casino and its proprietary streaming platform allows multiple players to view their favourite streamer and bet behind their play, effectively creating a group bet and shared betting experience on the same spin.
Each player is free to choose the bet amount and the number of spins they prefer. Adding another level of user engagement is the ability to chat with the streamer and other players and add reactions as the streamer spins the reels and the anticipation and excitement builds.
Michael Pedersen, CCO at Livespins, said: “Livespins is here to socially charge online casinos and offer an entirely new category of player experience by combining a well-known bet format – bet behind – with the uniquely immersive and highly entertaining world of streaming.
“At the heart of an engaging streaming session is a slot that provides the thrills and spills that both the streamer and the viewer can get excited about and in Fantasma Games we have a studio that knows how to deliver on both counts.
“This is the first in a series of integrations that we will be rolling out over the coming weeks and months as we continue to ramp up the Livespins product and proposition.”
Fredrik Johansson, Founder at Fantasma Games, said: “As a studio, we have always aimed to be at the cutting edge and to design and develop slots that go beyond gambling to deliver never seen before player experiences. Livespins is working with a similar ethos, and we are thrilled to be their first studio partner.
“This partnership will allow us to leverage the power and influence of streamers and put our slots in front of a new and growing community of casino streaming consumers and online slot players.”

Oddsgate released a new research study titled “The Future of iGaming in 2050”

Anticipating the future is no longer a fictional exercise but a competitive advantage. With the launch of the study “Gate to 2050” about the future of iGaming, Oddsgate takes a decisive step toward a new level of strategic intelligence, reaffirming its role as a reference in innovation, trend analysis, and future scenario building for the industry.
Oddsgate selected the independent consultancy ALVA Research & Consulting for its expertise, which led to the development of this unprecedented study. ALVA is recognized for its work with organizations and leaders in building future scenarios and anticipating long-term transformations. It conducted an in-depth investigation structured to go beyond conventional forecasts.
The research began in the summer of 2024 and took shape during the SBC Summit Lisbon, where it was officially presented to the market in its initial phase. The process extended over several months, combining rigorous analysis, multiple methodologies, and contributions from specialists across different regions and sectors.
The result is more than just a report. It is a strategic overview of the possible developments in the iGaming industry — including online betting, digital casinos, and gambling — over the next 25 years, offering analytical depth and provoking reflection on the sector’s future on a global scale.
A global and collaborative vision
The content results from a multifaceted methodology, including document analysis, desk research, 200 surveys conducted during SBC Lisbon, and interviews with 20 specialists in various sectors and regions worldwide. With voices from every continent, the study was designed to be truly global and cross-sectoral.
In addition, 21 transactional variables were analyzed, linking iGaming to transformations affecting other industries, ranging from geopolitical and technological changes to social, economic, and environmental factors. This was done with the goal of identifying the main drivers of change and creating a consistent and thought-provoking image of the future.
The study’s approach follows three key steps: collecting signals and directions from the world, projecting a probable image for iGaming in 2050, and sharing this vision to inspire long-term decision-making and direction.
By diving into the megatrends that will shape the world in the coming decades, the report presents topics such as:
The role of artificial intelligence, blockchain, and extended reality (AR, VR, metaverse);
The growing personalization of platforms and use of predictive CRM;
The centrality of digital payments and cryptocurrencies;
The advancement of digital security and data protection;
The urgency of sustainability and social responsibility in gaming.
These elements, combined with a forward-looking perspective, make this content essential for operators, regulators, and stakeholders who want to confidently navigate the sector’s future.
A milestone for the industry
The study was presented for the first time during SBC Summit Rio in February 2025, where Oddsgate’s CMO, Wagner Fernandes, shared the project’s main takeaways.
He said, “This study is not limited to predicting the future of iGaming. It also serves as an invitation for reflection and action. We are entering a new era in which technology and responsibility intertwine to create safer and more innovative experiences. This material guides those who want to lead this transformation.”.
By turning knowledge into concrete direction and trends into actionable paths, Oddsgate consolidates its position as a reference in market intelligence for iGaming. It fosters meaningful connections among the industry’s key players and contributes to collective progress toward a more prepared and innovative sector.
The future has already begun and is available on the Oddsgate website, which invites the entire industry to look ahead with greater clarity, foresight, and ambition.

SOFTSWISS and Rubens Barrichello Extend Strategic Collaboration in Latin America

SOFTSWISS, a global technology company and leader in iGaming software solutions, announces the extension of its strategic collaboration with legendary Formula One driver Rubens Barrichello, who will continue in his role as Non-Executive Director in Latin America.
This renewed agreement builds on a successful first year of collaboration, which has become a cornerstone of SOFTSWISS’ positioning across Latin America and beyond based on shared values of partnership and cultural connection.
Since April 2024, Barrichello has served as an authentic voice for SOFTSWISS at key industry and business events, both across Latin America and internationally. His role has gone far beyond traditional brand endorsement, encompassing leadership visibility, market engagement, and relationship-building with clients and communities.
Over the past year, Barrichello has played a pivotal role in reinforcing SOFTSWISS’ growth, hosting high-level partner engagements that combine cultural relevance with exclusive experiences. His voice was also central to the company’s response to the devastating floods in Rio Grande do Sul. Through the Help Brazil initiative, Barrichello assisted in amplifying calls for support and raising awareness around the urgent need for action. What began as an emergency relief effort evolved into a commitment to clean water access – a deeply personal initiative for him and SOFTSWISS, grounded in empathy and solidarity with affected communities.
In addition, Barrichello participated as a speaker at the SOFTSWISS Excellence Talks series, where he shared his unique expertise with the company’s global team.
“Rubens brings an unmatched level of authenticity, integrity, and passion to everything he does,” says Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS. “Over time, he has become a true friend. His presence within our team has helped us connect with Latin American partners, clients, and audiences on a deeper level – not only as a brand but as a long-term, responsible partner in the region.”
“I’m proud to continue this journey with SOFTSWISS,” says Rubens Barrichello. “Our first year together has shown how shared values can translate into meaningful impact – for business, regional markets and local communities. I look forward to helping take this partnership even further.”
As part of the renewed collaboration, Barrichello will continue supporting SOFTSWISS in strategic market growth, high-level representation, and cultural localization. His most recent appearance was a keynote speech during the opening day of SiGMA Americas 2025 in São Paulo – one of the most important iGaming events in the region.
