Swintt partners with Paf to expand European presence
Major new deal sees sought-after slot provider join forces with iGaming giant to supply Premium and Select slots to players in key emerging markets
Having already made major in-roads with deals in Estonia and Latvia this year, Swintt has once again moved to bolster its presence in regulated European markets by striking a new partnership with a major operator Paf.
The latest collaboration between Swintt and a European betting brand will see the award-winning software provider supply titles from both its Premium and Select game catalogues to the popular online gaming site, with a key focus on players in the Nordics.
Undoubtedly one of the best-known brands in Scandinavia, Paf is a gambling operator based on Finland’s Åland Islands that is owned by the regional government. Each year, the company distributes around €20m in funds to support health, culture, education and sustainability projects in the region.
In addition to its community initiatives, Paf also provides a platform for players in a number of key iGaming markets to enjoy the very best slots, casino and poker games. This strong line-up of services will now be significantly bolstered by the presence of Swintt games, with the popular online gambling operator committed to rolling out the provider’s full range of 120+ titles as well as all future releases.
The news will naturally be welcomed by Paf players in a number of European countries, some of whom will be trying out Swintt’s innovative collection of slots for the very first time. Broken down into state-of-the-art Swintt Select releases and more traditional Swintt Premium Games, this exciting catalogue of titles saw the provider recognised as “Rising Star in Casino/Innovation” at the SBC Awards in 2021.
Some of the more famous releases in the Swintt Select line-up include Rock N Ways XtrawaysTM, which utilises a unique pay system to give players up to 262,144 ways to win, and Aloha Spirit XtralockTM, which debuted a revolutionary new jackpot system capable of awarding multipliers worth up to 200,500x.
Leading Premium Games, meanwhile, include the popular “Book Unlimited” range of slots – an immensely successful series that combines classic fruit machine-style graphics and sound with a rewarding Free Spins feature that includes expanding symbols and can be re-triggered again and again.
With Paf players having all that and more to look forward to on the site over the coming weeks, the new partnership promises to be a highly successful venture for platform and provider alike; enabling Swintt to continue its growth in Europe while Paf strengthens its position as a market-leading brand.
David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “Paf is undoubtedly one of the best-known brands in Scandinavia and the Baltic region, and we’re thrilled to be able to debut our full catalogue of slots on their platform. The new partnership will see Swintt significantly expand its presence in several key markets while giving Paf players the chance to take our award-winning games for a spin.”
Eric Castro , Head of Content, Casino & Games at Paf, said: “In the past two years, Swintt has established itself as one of the industry’s premium software providers and we’re delighted to welcome them on board. Hosting Swintt games will enable us to offer many new and exciting options to our players and further cement Paf’s reputation as being the place to play for the very best in quality entertainment.”

Edge Marketing Institute launches G.A.M.E marketing leadership programme for B2B gaming
Online, on-demand course targets CMOs and senior marketers, with WorldGaming signed as exclusive media partner.
Edge Marketing Institute has launched in the gaming sector with its flagship programme, G.A.M.E (Gaming Advancement in Marketing Excellence), positioned by the company as a dedicated marketing leadership course for B2B gaming.
The company said the programme is designed to help senior marketers develop commercial leadership skills as businesses push marketing teams to contribute more directly to revenue and growth.
Founded by Paul Rees and Gerhard Sagat, Edge Marketing Institute said G.A.M.E consists of 10 senior-level modules covering strategic marketing leadership, positioning, product marketing, sales alignment, go-to-market execution, marketing measurement, brand strategy, and organisational influence.
Paul Rees, Co-Founder of Edge Marketing Institute, said: “Gaming has talented marketers throughout the industry, but too many have been forced to learn senior leadership on the job without structured development or exposure to broader marketing best practice.
“This isn’t a talent problem; it’s a structural one.
“We created Edge Marketing Institute and G.A.M.E to help marketing leaders operate with greater commercial clarity, confidence and influence, so marketing becomes a genuine driver of growth rather than simply a delivery function.”
The programme has launched with the support of WorldGaming as its exclusive media partner. Alex Pratt, Managing Director at WorldGaming, said: “As gaming continues to evolve, the role of marketing is becoming increasingly commercial and strategically important.
“Helping marketing leaders better align marketing with business growth, commercial objectives and long-term industry development is positive for the wider gaming ecosystem, which is why we’re pleased to support the launch of Edge Marketing Institute and G.A.M.E.”

BetBlocker adds Syrian Arabic language support for gambling harm prevention
The charity says the rollout targets displaced Syrian communities across Europe as it works toward a partnership with a European regulatory agency.
Gambling harm prevention charity BetBlocker said today it has expanded its service to include support for Syrian Arabic speakers, aiming to improve access for displaced Syrian communities living across Europe.
The organisation said years of conflict have led to large Syrian diaspora communities across neighbouring countries and many European nations. BetBlocker added that immigrant communities can face higher risk of gambling harm, with religious, social, cultural and linguistic barriers reducing engagement with support services.
BetBlocker said the Syrian Arabic rollout was prioritised as part of work towards a partnership with a European regulatory agency, positioning it to support diaspora Syrian communities across Europe.
Founder and Trustee for BetBlocker, Duncan Garvie, said: “I’m always really happy when BetBlocker can line-up priorities for where our work for mature markets also facilitates us extending protections to populations that are under served. Our project to deliver Ukrainian as apart of the Improving Outcomes for Minority Communities fund via GambleAware in the UK was a great example of a project that met the needs of the UK funding system, while concurrently extending the support we could offer to an entirely new project.
This project offers similar opportunities. Where extending our support to Syrian Arabic both allows us to submit a more competitive tender to an EU regulator, whilst simultaneously expanding our support to a country/population that currently has very limited options for people experiencing gambling harm.
BetBlocker’s uptake in Syria is climbing rapidly at the moment, and this new launch should ensure that far more people who need support can access it.”
