Ambitious iGaming start-up JNS Gaming has officially launched its new online casino and sportsbook brand, LynxBet .com, aiming to deliver a new world of entertainment for players worldwide with its immersive front-end design.

Inspired by the growing influence of the metaverse in the digital space, the self-styled ‘Land of LynxBet’ has been developed with casual players at the forefront. The brand combines a mix of escapism, vibrancy and animations to offer a fun and responsible iGaming experience, with users invited to explore a variety of environments that are determined by the multitude of verticals on offer. This is further aided by the creation of its endearing mascot, the Lucky Lynx, who has the magic touch and features prominently across the online platform.

Entering multiple territories, LynxBet’s prime focus is on establishing a solid player base across South America and other pre-regulated markets. It aims to achieve this by placing emphasis on a localised service, including customer support offered in each language via email and live chat. Regional teams have been established to create a more personal player experience, boosted further by significant marketing investment and partnerships with local brand ambassadors, who are set to be announced over the coming months.

In addition, localised payment methods are available for each jurisdiction, while LynxBet also accepts deposits and withdrawals using cryptocurrency. This approach is solidified by JNS Gaming harnessing the expertise of its sister brand Freebitco.in, a cryptocurrency casino specialist with over 48 million players, from which LynxBet will also target with its own cross-selling campaigns.

LynxBet operates under a Tier 1 Isle of Man Gaming licence and is fully committed to responsible play, providing accessible self-exclusion and time-out facilities, as well as deposit, wager and loss limits.

JNS Gaming is backed by substantial investment and run by a senior management team that is highly-experienced within the global betting and gaming industry. The company is headed by Jeremy Taylor, who was formerly Managing Director of Genting Casinos UK and Group Marketing Director at Betsson Group.

Commenting on the launch of LynxBet, JNS Gaming CEO Jeremy Taylor, said: “Following months of hard work behind the scenes, introducing LynxBet to the marketplace is an exciting moment for JNS Gaming. We understand how competitive and saturated the iGaming industry is, which is why we devised an immersive platform that offers something alternative for players to explore.

“Simply put, JNS Gaming is an iGaming start-up like no other. We are very ambitious and truly believe that our unique user journey will captivate players worldwide. Over the coming months, we will be revealing more developments that will illustrate our desire to propel LynxBet to new heights.”

With complete control over its front-end design and user experience, LynxBet has enhanced its back-end infrastructure further by utilising Aspire Global’s entire proprietary offering. This includes a robust PAM, managed services, the deployment of Aspire’s content aggregation platform powered by Pariplay, with a vast range of games already implemented within the LynxBet casino offering, as well as the BtoBet sportsbook, delivering comprehensive markets and odds on a variety of global sports.

Tsachi Maimon, CEO at Aspire Global, added: “JNS Gaming has done a remarkable job in developing such an immersive digital environment with its new LynxBet brand. While the group has focused on developing a fascinating online portal that will resonate with a wide audience, Aspire Global provides the new operator with a complete iGaming solution and significant B2B and B2C experience to build from.

“We look forward to supporting LynxBet’s growth in the near future including more new markets, with our cutting-edge solutions set to form a crucial role in its expansion.”

CSMG will create and operate College Street FighterTM Tour in North America for the 2024-25 academic year
College conference Street Fighter 6 champions will punch their ticket to the national Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) & May Madness in 2025

Collegiate Sports Management Group (CSMG) announced today during the kick-off of its Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) Texas presented by McDonald’s that it has joined forces with Capcom to launch the College Street FighterTM Tour during its 2024-25 academic year with the finalists competing at CECC Texas in 2025 throughout its May Madness event. Street FighterTM 6 will join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch 2®, Rocket League, and VALORANT as part of the official game titles for CECC.

“We are immensely excited to welcome Capcom into the CECC family and provide a path to glory for student athletes to showcase their skills in Street Fighter 6,” said Michael Schreck, Chief Executive Officer for CSMG. “In our fourth year of building May Madness, we continue to listen to our players, coaches and fans on how to make our event more inclusive, and the partnership with Street Fighter 6 is a resounding success.”

“The Street Fighter franchise is a multi-generational and global game series, so it’s important for us to continue to grow that fandom at the collegiate level,” said Michael Larson, Head of Esports at Capcom USA. “CECC continues to set the standard for competition and community, so it’s a natural format for expansion, and we’re eager for College Street Fighter Tour competitors across North America to show off their skills and join us in Texas next year.”

”The vision for the College Street Fighter Tour is a publisher backed esports series that integrates into the existing infrastructure of The Collegiate Esports Commissioners Cup, a bracket style event series that takes place every year and has been coined May Madness. The path to championship includes invitational bids to national and regional level conferences as well as official CECC qualifiers held regionally,” said Angela Bernhard Thomas, Chief Esports Officer for CSMG’s ESPORTSU.

Every college or university from a 2-year or 4-year institution can participate through their conference or through select qualifiers. Wim Stocks will serve as the Commissioner of the College Street Fighter Tour and bring his 20 years of experience in college esports to create a dynamic and engaging format of competitive gaming.

“Since the launch of Street Fighter 6 in June of ’23, it is clear the rich legacy of Street Fighter is stronger than ever and helping lift the fighting game community to still greater heights,” said Stocks. “Having a structure now for a national collegiate competitive series, league, and events, Capcom and ESPORTSU are building a phenomenal ecosystem and mechanism for developing up and coming Street Fighter 6 competitors.”

More details on the College Street Fighter Tour will be shared later this year.

CSMG welcomes 84 teams (up from 64 in 2023) this weekend from a record breaking 19 conference champions to the largest scholastic esports festival globally. They will compete at Esports Stadium Arlington on May 3-5 for the chance to hoist one of the coveted trophies. Fans can watch the CECC Texas on ESPORTSU’s Twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/esportsu.

CECC Texas 2023 was also recently awarded LAN Event of the Year during the inaugural Scholars Awards in Las Vegas, which are produced in partnership with the Esports Awards.
