Groove evolves with MGA-recognised iGaming provider Evoplay
Platform and aggregator Groove is supporting award-winning Cyprus-based iGaming developer Evoplay, helping to profile the newly obtained MGA Recognition Notice with Groove’s powerful operator cluster.
Evoplay has just been recognised by the prestigious Maltese regulatory body, the Malta Gaming Authority.
Groove is highlighting Evoplay content to operators to ensure that the developer, 95% of which staff are Ukraine-based, remains fully supported despite the international situation, including their 3D/VR slot games and a medley of new content.
Evoplay was shortlisted in the Best Gaming Innovation category at the SBC Awards, Software Rising Star and Mobile Supplier at the EGR Awards, three LoginCasino Awards, and last year Ivan Kravchuk, Evoplay CEO, was awarded with Leader of the Year by SBC.
The iGaming provider develops HTML5 Full HD online games with popular titles such as Dragon’s Tavern, Trip To The Future, Fruit Disco, Atlantis, The Great Conflict, Elven Princesses, Epic Gladiators, Red Cliff, Ace Round, Jewellery Store, Fruitburst, Chinese New Year, Charming Queens, Syndicate, and Candy Dreams.
Probably the best-known title of Evoplay are Dungeon: Immortal Evil, the first RPG-inspired hack and slash slot with this year’s flagship title, Star Guardians, that made the revolution as an industry-first third-person shooter gambling game with manual control and player selection. Evoplay’s total portfolio contains over 160 slots, table, and instant games.
This latest arrangement with Evoplay is a direct demonstration of how Groove’s content portfolio is highly differentiated and capable of responding to global market events. Groove’s powerful platform includes thousands of casino games as well as a wealth of aggregated content ranging from slots, sportsbook, online casino and live casino, to poker and table games, that operators can access via easy integration to drive player engagement and revenue.
Chief Commercial Officer at Evoplay, Vladimir Malakchi, commented: “Delivering content for Groove’s operator cluster allowed us to boost access to our games as well as their overall performance. Being with a top platform like Groove gives us a sense of sustainability and it’s good to know that we have this kind of backing.”
Groove COO Yahale Meltzer said: “Originally we welcomed Evoplay to our platform with some of the most innovative games in the global iGaming market and the awards that they have gathered in such a short space of time are definitely well deserved. The MGA Recognition Notice is the cherry on the cake for a solid suite of games coming out from the developer, and we look forward to seeing further increased uptake on their titles.”

The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has announced changes aimed at increasing consumer control over deposit limits and greater transparency of customer funds protection by operators.
A further change to the Commission’s Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP) will also pave the way for implementation of Government’s upcoming statutory levy.
The changes follow a consultation and are consistent with the 2023 White Paper High stakes: gambling reform for the digital age.
New rules will give consumers more effective ways to manage their gambling by making it easier to set and maintain deposit limits on their online accounts, in ways that work best for them.
From 31 October 2025 all gambling businesses must prompt their customers to set a financial limit before they make their first deposit and make it easy to review and alter this limit at any point after.
These rules will take good practice already offered by some operators and expand that so customers can expect the same standards across the industry.
Gambling businesses will also be required to remind consumers every six months to review their account and transaction information – this will help consumers consider if they want to change existing, or set new, deposit limits.
Operators who hold customer funds must set out in the terms and conditions whether these are protected in the event of insolvency, the level of such protection and the method by which this is achieved. They must also make this information available at the point at which a customer first deposits money.
The Commission’s LCCP currently requires operators to make annual financial contributions to a list of research, prevention and treatment organisations. This requirement will be removed close to the introduction of the government’s statutory levy (opens in new tab) (expected to come into force on 6 April 2025) as it will become obsolete.
“These changes illustrate our commitment to ensuring gambling is fair and open by improving consumer empowerment and choice. These changes will help consumers decide on deposit limits, enable them to keep track of their spending and ensure they are fully aware of what happens to their funds should an operator become insolvent. We will now continue our work to deliver our remaining White Paper commitments, including our programme of evaluation,” Tim Miller, Commission Executive Director for research and policy, said.
