Platform and aggregator Groove to power Spinomenal’s regulated business across Europe
Platform and aggregator Groove will distribute Spinomenal games licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority, a license that is widely considered one of the most respected in the world. Spinomenal’s strong list of double-digit iGaming certifications play an important role in the star studio’s ambitious growth strategy.
Spinomenal is one of the fastest-growing content providers in the industry with a portfolio of more than 200 HTML5 games renewed monthly with 8 to 16 new releases. As an innovative technology company there is a focus on machine learning math modules, quality graphics and intriguing features designed for maximum fun as amply displayed by latest releases Demi Gods IV Thunderstorm, Wolf Fang Iron Wolf and Majestic King Sunset.
Spinomenal’s games catalogue includes classics like Egyptian Rebirth II, Majestic King, 4 Horsemen II, Age of Pirates, Poseidon’s Rising, Queen of Ice, Book of the Divine, and many more highly engaging titles such as Times of Egypt Pharaohs Reign, Mammoth Rampage, Lucky Jack Lost Jungle, Reels of Rio, Book of Rampage Reloaded, Book of Wolves, Blue Panther and Story of Vikings, amongst others recognised as top slots titles.
The new partnership with Groove around its MGA license is central to Spinomenal’s global expansion plans, as the ambitious management team looks forward to entering more regulated markets, having secured licenses in many international jurisdictions and anticipating more in the form of UKGC, Greece, Ontario Canada and the US State of New Jersey.
After several incredible years of exponential growth, Spinomenal’s star studio has made a tremendous effort, businesswise, to research and understand players preferences in each of the leading markets within the industry around innovations such as their Network Tournaments series, where players have repeated chances of landing the prize pool total. This R&D process came to fruition with a raft of immersive games, launched with major operators such as Groove.
Groove is the content provider of choice to a cluster of over 70 operators and has now brought more innovative content to the market under this new MGA partnership which serves the heavily regulated European markets. Earlier this year, Spinomenal was awarded the ISO 27001 certificate, an international standard in best practices for information security.
Groove’s ever-expanding collection of games from latest releases to time-worn classics is rapidly becoming one of the biggest content platforms and the company is adding to the portfolio at a rapid rate through progressive partnerships such as the one with Spinomenal.
Groove’s powerful platform includes thousands of casino games as well as a wealth of aggregated content ranging from slots, online casino and live casino, to poker and table games, that operators can access via easy integration to drive player engagement and revenue. The company has rapidly built a powerful operator cluster around its technology and is supported by one of the strongest technical teams in the industry.
Lior Shvartz, CEO at Spinomenal said: “Getting our MGA license truly marks a milestone moment in Spinomenal’s adventure as we move into significantly wider regulated channels with one of the very best aggregators in iGaming today. The MGA license combined with working more closely alongside Groove opens new avenues for our team to deliver on our strategy in a region that has unrivalled significance.”
Yahale Meltzer, COO at Groove said: “Spinomenal has an impressive suite of games backed by the skill of a team that is delivering on their destiny to bet he new business darling for those with a European vision. Spinomenal’s MGA license will help us clinch a lot of new business with partners in our operator cluster for these compelling games.”

Former WBC cruiserweight champion to appear at PartyPoker Tour UK stops and take part in online activations.
PartyPoker has appointed former WBC Cruiserweight World Champion Tony Bellew as a brand ambassador for the remainder of 2026, with appearances tied to the operator’s live PartyPoker Tour and online poker offering.
The company said Bellew will be “a regular face” at its remaining UK tour stops this season following an earlier appearance at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. Bellew will also take part in online activity linked to the PartyPoker schedule.
“I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me,” Bellew said.
PartyPoker said Bellew is scheduled to attend each remaining UK stop on the 2026 PartyPoker Tour: London in July, Glasgow in August, Cork in November, and London in December. The operator also referenced a series of exclusive online events running alongside the live calendar.

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.
The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.
In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.
“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”
The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.
For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.
The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.

A former WBC Cruiserweight World Champion and one of Britain’s most recognisable sporting personalities, Bellew will play an active role across both PartyPoker’s live tour and online offering throughout the rest of the year.
Speaking about joining the team, Tony Bellew said: “I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me.”
His return follows a hugely successful appearance at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham earlier this year, where he embraced the atmosphere, spent time with players and immersed himself in the event. After thoroughly enjoying the experience, Bellew will now become a regular face at the remaining UK stops on the PartyPoker Tour throughout the rest of the 2026 season.
As part of his ambassadorial role, Bellew will attend every remaining UK stop PartyPoker Tour in 2026:
