MGA Games signs with Fair Play Casino to bring its games to the Dutch market
Premium casino content developer MGA Games has signed an agreement with operator Fair Play Casino to distribute its innovative product portfolio in the Netherlands, bringing MGA Games into a newly regulated market.
This collaboration will give Fair Play Casino users access to innovative gaming products from leading developer MGA Games. Products including its classic 3-reel slot games (of which they have produced more than 100 titles), its international 5-reel casino slot games, and its latest impressive MegawaysTM product line, which, when it launched a few months ago, caused quite a sensation.
The integration of the titles will be carried out progressively through the Games Global platform. The initial launch will include a pack of 10 certified games that will become part of the premium offering on the fairplaycasino.nl portal.
For MGA Games, the alliance with Fair Play Casino means increasing its market coverage and fulfilling its roadmap for international expansion. MGA Games Sales Director, Javier Lanfranchi, said: “We have made a strong commitment to the Netherlands, a recently regulated market, which represents an important part of the MGA Games’ global expansion strategy. We are sure that with our localized product and our plan for launching high-performance games, Dutch casino operators will benefit enormously.”
As a result, Lanfranchi explained that MGA Games is now working on producing “Dutch Celebritie” a localized product based on MGA Games’ successful celebrities formula, which includes collaborations with emblematic figures from society, culture, and sport from each country. This formula continues to be highly successful and profitable for operators creating great expectations wherever it goes.
Pascal Janshen, Business Development Manager at Fair Play Casino: “We are proud to be the first operator in the Netherlands to work with MGA Games and are very excited to offer their Games to our players. Dutch players are known for their passion of classical games, and also the Megaways series are getting a lot of attention. Therefore we have no doubt that this collaboration will become a great success for both Fair Play and MGA Games.”

Network Gaming partners with Better Collective to launch pioneering gaming ecosystem
Network Gaming and BolaVIP launch groundbreaking mobile gaming platform, Ligavip, for Brazilian sports fans
Network Gaming, the next-generation sports games studio, has announced the launch of its mobile-first gaming platform in partnership with Bolavip, one of Brazil’s largest sports media brands and part of the global sports media group Better Collective.
This launch marks a bold step into new territory for Network Gaming — entering the Brazilian market for the first time, and doing so on a mainstream stage that reaches millions of passionate fans. The collaboration sets the scene for a new category of mobile sports games, built for mass appeal and designed to deepen engagement across Bolavip’s vast audience.
Timed to coincide with the start of the main football championship in Brazil, the debut of the Ligavip platform delivered standout early results, including a 15% conversion rate from unique visitors to registered users in its opening weekend.
Unlike traditional models, Ligavip is not tethered to betting. Instead, it opens up an innovative source of new revenues for Better Collective by offering free-to-play games powered by branded prizes, such as shopping vouchers from one of the country’s top sports retailers, awarded to the best performers in Ligavip challenges. Players can compete for rewards, challenge their friends for bragging rights, and monitor their performance on live leaderboards in a community-first environment.
“We’re stepping onto a new stage — launching in Brazil, partnering with one of the most influential sports media groups in the world, certainly in terms of incoming traffic to its assets, and thereby pushing our platform into the mainstream,” said Harry Collins, CEO of Network Gaming. “This is a defining moment for us. It’s not just about great gameplay; it’s about creating sustainable entertainment ecosystems built around loyalty, fun, and fan connection.”
The launch also signals a new phase of development for Network Gaming’s broader platform ambitions. With Ligavip, the company will now be building out advanced meta mechanics — systems layered on top of gameplay such as daily rewards, progression loops, and upgrades — designed to boost long-term retention. Combined with powerful social features like leaderboards, invite-a-friend mechanics, and community leagues, these systems turn simple games into sticky, social experiences.
Tomás Vaz de Carvalho, COO South America at Better Collective, said: “We’re thrilled to be working with Network Gaming to bring a new kind of interactive sports experience to Brazil. This is about engaging fans in a fresh, rewarding way — and opening up new commercial avenues that align with global digital trends. Gaming is now a key pillar in many media strategies, and this partnership puts us right at the forefront.”
As traditional media looks for new ways to engage and monetise its audience, initiatives like Ligavip are becoming a strategic pillar. (The New York Times now generates more revenue from its games portfolio than its core news content.) This collaboration allows Better Collective and Network Gaming to stay ahead of the curve — creating experiences that are fun, valuable, and aligned with global digital entertainment trends.
