Award-winning software studio teams up with industry’s leading iGaming aggregator to distribute popular Premium and Select games across regulated markets worldwide

Having already gone from strength to strength in 2022, sought-after software providers, Swintt, has secured another major triumph this month with the announcement that their popular Premium and Select titles will now be made available through Pariplay’s Fusion^® Aggregation Platform.

Taking more than €1bn in monthly bets across 14,000+ titles in over 20 regulated markets worldwide, Pariplay is the #1 aggregator and content provider in the iGaming industry, so the news is hugely significant for Swintt as they build on the impressive growth they’ve shown throughout the year.

As part of the new arrangement, Pariplay®-powered online operators will now be able to share some of Swintt’s most successful releases with their customers, with a number of titles from both the Swintt Premium and Swintt Select collections ensuring that all preferences and playing styles are catered for.

With the former category combining the iconic symbols and sounds players know and love from land-based slot machines with modern gameplay and features, available Premium slots on Fusion^® aggregation platform include Cleopatras Diamonds, Extra Win X and the myth and magic-themed Master of Books.

All three of these titles include easy-to-trigger bonus rounds, with Extra Win X boasting a special multiplier wheel that can pay out big wins of up to 800x players’ stake and both Cleopatras Diamonds and Master of Books offering Swintt’s signature Free Spins feature with random expanding symbols. Swintt Select games, meanwhile, are aimed at the video slot player that appreciates innovative features in the titles like the ground-breaking Aloha Spirit XtraLock^TM providing customers with unique bonus rounds they simply won’t find anywhere else.

This popular Hawaiian-themed game – along with the recently-released Monster Disco XtraHold^TM – are now representing Swintt’s pioneering “Xtra” series of games on the Pariplay platform, while fans of blockbuster-style action and entertainment can also get both via The Crown starring Vinnie Jones.

The first Swintt title to include a celebrity endorsement, The Crown features a leading role for the former footballer-turned-actor and philanthropist and challenges players to journey around four base game locations as they assemble a crew and plan out a daring heist on London’s most famous jewels.

Given the great variety among the Swintt slots that are now available through Fusion^®, players in regulated markets should have no trouble at all finding a game that captures their imagination – and Swintt is looking forward to sharing its titles with anew global audience.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “At Swintt, one of our major aspirations has always been to share our award-winning collection of games with customers in as many regulated markets as possible – and through this huge new deal with Pariplay, we’ll now be able to do just that.
“Pariplay^® is one of the biggest aggregators and content providers in the industry, so teaming up with them represents another significant step for us as we look to further expand in 2022. We can’t wait to hear how players enjoy the stellar range of Swintt slots that are now available via its platform.”

Callum Harris, Director of Partnerships at Pariplay^®, said: “We are constantly adding titles from the best up-and-coming software suppliers to tour Fusion^®’s platform portfolio.
“Swintt certainly fits this description, and by teaming up with the provider, we’ll be able to bolster the incredible collection of 14,000+ games we provide to clients with the addition of some truly unique releases that offer exciting themes and innovative features they won’t be able to find anywhere else.”

In a historic move for Ukrainian sports, the Basketball Federation of Ukraine (FBU) and title sponsor GGBET UA recently hosted Media Slam in Kyiv. This inaugural open media event served as a high-level forum to analyze the regular season results of the GGBET SuperLeague and the recent performances of Ukraine’s men’s and women’s national teams.

Since becoming the league’s title sponsor in January 2026, GGBET UA has prioritized transparency and engagement. The event highlighted a significant milestone: the return of fans to stadiums despite the ongoing challenges of martial law, signaling a resilient recovery for the domestic game.

Highlights and Recognition

The “Media Slam” wasn’t just about statistics; it was a celebration of the sport’s current momentum:

MVP Honors: The regular season’s top five players were officially recognized for their outstanding contributions.
Kyiv-Basket Victory: The Ukrainian Cup winners received a formal check in honor of their championship win.
Market Discussion: Stakeholders engaged in a candid dialogue regarding the increasing competitiveness of the league.

Sergii Mishchenko, CEO of GGBET UA, commented:

“We didn’t get involved in Ukrainian basketball just to have our logo on a banner. This is a systematic approach. We see the increasing interest in basketball and want to be a part of that growth. The tougher the competition, the stronger Ukrainian basketball becomes.”

A Strategic Expansion

Basketball marks a major pillar in GGBET UA’s diversifying sports portfolio. Following high-profile partnerships with FC Dynamo Kyiv, FC Polissya Zhytomyr, and the Usyk vs. Dubois 2 rematch, the brand is now cementing its status as a cornerstone of the Ukrainian basketball ecosystem.

In a heart-pounding display of tactical precision and mental fortitude, S8UL Esports has been crowned the VALORANT Challengers South Asia (VCSA) 2026 Split 1 Champions. The victory came after an intense five-map Grand Final against Revenant Xspark, where S8UL emerged victorious with a 3-2 scoreline, solidifying their dominance in the regional VCT ecosystem.

With this win, S8UL takes home the lion’s share of the prize pool—INR ₹9,00,000—and sets a high benchmark for the remainder of the 2026 season.

The Road to the Trophy

S8UL’s journey through Split 1 was a testament to their growth following the 2025 season. Their path to the podium included:

League Phase Dominance: Consistent performance against seven of South Asia’s elite teams.
Semifinal Sweep: A commanding 2-0 victory over Asterisk, showcasing a roster peaking at the perfect moment.
The 5-Map Thriller: A back-and-forth Grand Final against Revenant Xspark that tested the limits of both skill and composure.

Strategic Growth and Leadership

The victory highlights the successful vision of Mithul “8bit Binks” Nayak, the driving force behind this revamped roster. Under the leadership of veteran captain Ganesh “SkRossi” Gangadhar, the team displayed evolved coordination and the ability to clutch out decisive rounds under immense pressure.

“Winning Split 1 gives us confidence, but we know the season is long,” said SkRossi. “I’m proud of how the team stayed focused in the crucial moments.”

Impact on the VCT Ecosystem

VCSA Split 1 serves as the critical pathway for South Asian teams to climb into the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT). By securing the first title of the year, S8UL not only establishes themselves as the team to beat but also positions themselves favorably for international qualification opportunities in Split 2 and beyond.
