ClearStake today announced the general availability of its affordability solution, which makes it incredibly easy for customers to share financial data with gambling operators, and as a result enables those operators to comply with emerging affordability requirements without compromising either customer experience or revenues.

Backed by investors with a proven track record and extensive experience in the gambling sector, ClearStake wants to change the way gambling operators think about affordability checks. Specifically, the ClearStake approach removes the pain associated with these checks, and thus enables operators to meet responsible gambling commitments whilst avoiding the customer churn associated with conventional approaches.

“With regulatory red-tape increasing within many industries, affordability checks are fast becoming the new normal”, said Martin Burt, CEO of ClearStake. “However, manual checks cost time and money to perform and can lead to frustration amongst customers which can lead them to churn. ClearStake makes it incredibly simple for operators to conduct these checks, and just as easy for their customers to engage. We genuinely believe our approach is game-changing”.

ClearStake, allows customers to share their financial data via Open Banking, or sharing conventional statements via a fast, easy UI that maximises customer opt-in.

Once uploaded, ClearStake analyses all relevant data, calculates customer income and outgoings to establish affordability, and flags risk indicators such as high gambling spend, significant debt repayments, benefits, or any other unusual transactions. The product then recommends a decision, and each case is stored so that every affordability decision is easily evidenced.

Among other investors, ClearStake is backed by Oli Slipper and Adam Perrin, previously early investors in Open Banking insurance unicorn Marshmallow. Both feel that ClearStake has the potential to follow suit.

Speaking of his investment, Adam Perrin said “ClearStake has a strong founding team and very exciting tech. Their vision and passion is solving a very real challenge that exists across multiple verticals and geographies. While the governmental and regulatory pressure within the gambling industry makes it an obvious starting point for ClearStake, we envision moving into multiple sectors as we continue to refine and develop the service.”

Martin Burt of ClearStake added “increased regulatory requirements are a welcome protection for gambling customers but they do create a time-consuming administrative headache for firms who are doing their best to comply. We’re looking to lessen the burden on them while also increasing protection for all customers, leading to a more seamless service for both customer and provider.”

Play’n GO unveils Midnight Gold, a spiritual successor to the 2023 blockbuster title Highway Legends. 

This thrilling 5×3 online slot offers 20 fixed paylines, stunning visuals, and an array of innovative features to keep players on the edge of their seats.

With the Deliver Feature, Treasure Chests and Cash Bag symbols bring multipliers ranging from x2 up to an impressive x250.

Building on its legacy of innovative gameplay, Midnight Gold introduces Mystery Instant Wins, where Scatters can randomly reveal multipliers of up to x20, adding excitement to every spin. The high stakes peak with Super Free Spins, triggered by landing a special gold Scatter symbol. Every spin in this mode guarantees a Wild Multiplier, enhancing the chance for legendary rewards.

The game’s dark tones and gleaming accents create a captivating contrast, immersing players in a sleek and sophisticated heist experience. Fans of Play’n GO’s adventure-packed slots such as the aforementioned Highway Legends and Undefeated Xerxes will feel right at home with Midnight Gold.

Meanwhile, the bold ambition and reward potential of Undefeated Xerxes find a fitting counterpart in the high-octane historical drama of Midnight Gold. With its blend of engaging storytelling and innovative mechanics, this title continues Play’n GO’s tradition of delivering unforgettable gaming experiences.

Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said: “Midnight Gold brings the period drama action to life, combining engaging features with striking visuals.

Booming Games shine with new 64 Gold Coins Hold & Win

Reading Time: < 1 minute

New Year, new… game! As we welcome in 2025, we also welcome a brand new slot from Booming Games – the super 64 Gold Coins Hold & Win.

This shiny new arrival boasts all the hallmarks of a classic. A 5×5, 30-payline slot with the famous casino symbols you’ve grown to love – lemons, cherries, lucky 7s and more. But this Hold & Win comes with a tantalising twist.

While many Hold & Win games require six coins in the base game to trigger the feature, you can do it here with just five. That launches the Coin Blitz Hold and Win, where every coin resets the spin counter, increasing your chance of landing a Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Jackpot. And that biggest pot can give you up to 1,000x your stake.

That’s not the only way to win, of course. Discover a Coin Blitz symbol and the coin will spin, revealing either the Boost (randomly increasing coin values) or the Grid Expand – which turns the 5×5 into an 8×8.

You can do the math from there. Your task is to fill that grid with 64 coins and unearth a wild win of 10,000x your original bet.

As with all of the provider’s titles, 64 Gold Coins Hold & Win has been certified for launch in core regulated markets including the UK, Sweden and all Malta jurisdictions.

Nemanja Živić, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “Forget your resolutions, 64 Gold Coins Hold & Win is a New Year’s revelation! We love shiny new things and this ticks every single box. A classic casino feel with fresh, fun features – and the chance to win up to 10,000x your bet. Booming Games have delivered a sure-fire favourite to start the New Year in style.”
