Jogabets, a licensed online betting operator in Mozambique, has migrated its operations to VeliTech’s iGaming core platform, the B2B supplier said.

VeliTech said the rollout is part of Jogabets’ growth strategy and is intended to strengthen its digital operations. Darren Calvia, Chief Product Officer at VeliTech, said Jogabets will use “the integrated VeliTech product suite, including the iGaming core system with built-in CRM, sportsbook platform, game aggregation capabilities, and exclusive crash and instant games.”

Calvia added: “Launching a brand like Jogabets isn’t just about going live — it’s about getting the fundamentals right from day one. The early performance and positive feedback from the Jogabets team confirm that when product, technology, and delivery are fully aligned, even complex migrations feel seamless. With the VeliTech platform at its core and a tailored mix of content and tools, the client is now well-positioned to deliver a high-performing player experience and rapid growth.”

Springbok Casino Presents “Wild Galaxy Month” with 25 Free Spins on Prosperity Pots

Published

springbok-casino-presents-“wild-galaxy-month”-with-25-free-spins-on-prosperity-pots

 

This May, SpringbokCasino.co.za celebrates Star Wars Day with Wild Galaxy Month, a cosmic new feature reimagining the savanna’s creatures as space-faring legends. May the 4th be with you and your 25 Free Spins on Prosperity Pots slot, available all month.

In Wild Galaxy Month, Springbok Casino compares five famous character types from the classic space-opera world to South African animals that carry the same energy in the bush. From bold young lions to wise old tortoises, each one brings its own style to survival—and the same is true for smart slot play. Knowing when to take a risk like a lion, when to wait like a leopard, or when to play the long game like a tortoise can make all the difference between a quick spin and a legendary win!

Lucky Skywalker and the young lion Yedi – Destiny favours the brave, but instinct separates the hero from the herd.

Dark Spots the leopard and the power of the hunt – True power is silent, focused, and impossible to read until it strikes.

Han So-low the meerkat and the art of looking confident – Confidence is half the battle—the other half is knowing when to duck.

Princess Lay-a the springbok and grace under pressure – Elegance under fire is a weapon sharper than any blaster.

Yodust the tortoise and the wisdom of slow power – Patience wins the longest war. The strongest moves are the slowest.

“Out here in the wild, legends don’t begin with dramatic music and perfect timing. They begin with instinct, chaos, close calls, and a little bit of luck. This May, we’re giving our players all four—plus 25 free spins on Prosperity Pots. May the wild be with you,” said Daniel Van Wyke, Casino Manager at SpringbokCasino.

Prosperity Pots: Lucky Coins from RTG transports players to a vibrant, golden-hued world of oriental charm, featuring 25 paylines, Wilds, Scatters and a random Lucky Coin Feature that unlocks multipliers or instant cash prizes.
