Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG) continues to strengthen its presence in the Spanish iGaming market following the signing of an agreement with Starcasino Group for its leading platform and sportsbook.

This new alliance, the 14th now in operation for GiG technology in Spain, will allow Starcasino to enter the large and highly competitive Spanish market. Having secured both sports and casino licenses in the jurisdiction, Starcasino will take advantage of GiG’s unique experience and presence in the country. Indeed, the online Spanish market generates more than €800 million of GGR on a yearly basis, with casino and sports representing 90% of that figure.

Starcasino is one of the largest regulated online and landbased casino groups in Belgium, and carries with it a strong reputation at driving personalised experiences for casino players.

The agreement which has been signed for an initial period of 3 years will look to harness the capabilities of both GiG’s sportsbook and player account manager (PAM), which are focused on delivering excellent localised and personal casino journeys and strong sports margins in competitive and regulated markets.

Hervé Schlosser, Managing Director of Sportnco Gaming at GiG, said “I am really pleased to have signed this partnership with Starcasino, to power their entry into the appealing Spanish market. I am convinced that our combined sportsbook, platform technology and regulatory experience is well suited to help established operators like Starcasino power into new regulated markets.”

Alejandro Casanova, Country Manager for Starcasino Spain said: “We feel very pleased to have reached an agreement with the GIG Group. After many years of work and success in Belgium we have initiated our expansion to other markets, in Spain we have selected GIG Group’s technologies to successfully face the challenges of this market.”

Deal launches with NODWIN Clutch Series as the companies target better oversight and more interactive broadcasts across Tier 2 CS2 and beyond.

NODWIN Gaming has signed a strategic partnership with Prague-based esports technology company Runestone to add integrity monitoring and real-time data tools across NODWIN’s global tournament portfolio. The companies said the collaboration has launched with the NODWIN Clutch Series.

NODWIN and Runestone positioned the deal around tournament oversight and broadcast engagement, as organizers increasingly use data-driven tooling to support fair competition and build more interactive viewing experiences.

Integrity and transparency are fundamental to sustainable esports ecosystems, especially in Tier 2 competition where the next generation of talent emerges. Runestone’s expertise in real-time data and integrity infrastructure complements our experience in building scalable esports IPs and competitive ecosystems. Together, we’re able to strengthen tournament operations while unlocking richer engagement experiences for fans. Starting with the NODWIN Clutch Series for CS2, we see strong potential to expand this collaboration across new IPs, new regions, and new competitive formats.”

Michael Schwartz, Head of Partnerships at Runestone, added, “NODWIN Gaming has built one of the most dynamic esports ecosystems across emerging markets, and we’re thrilled to collaborate with a partner that shares our focus on building sustainable competitive ecosystems. By combining NODWIN’s experience in operating global esports IPs with Runestone’s integrity and engagement infrastructure, we can support tournaments with greater transparency, deeper fan interaction, and scalable operational tools.

GoldenRace, global leader in Virtual Sports and betting solutions, and Spinmatic, innovative developer of premium casino games, are celebrating 5 years of successful partnership with Playlogiq, one of their most enduring collaborations.

Since January 7th, 2021, GoldenRace and Spinmatic have been working hand-in-hand with the Playlogiq team to deliver top-tier gaming experiences across the globe. It has been more than five years of shared goals, technical synergy and—most importantly—unbeatable results.

This partnership has been a primary engine for growth within the African continent. By leveraging Playlogiq’s robust platform and GoldenRace and Spinmatic industry-leading content, they have successfully provided operators with a competitive edge that resonates with local players.

While the agreement reach is broad, the companies have seen exceptional success in East Africa, where the appetite for high-quality, fast-paced betting content continues to skyrocket. By focusing on online and mobile offerings, they have tapped into the heart of the modern African betting market, where accessibility and performance are the keys to high traffic volumes.

Martin Wachter, GoldenRace CEO and Founder.

One of the hallmarks of this relationship is Playlogiq’s commitment to innovation, as they’re always among the first to integrate and deploy GoldenRace and Spinatic latest releases, ensuring their operators have access to a diverse and thrilling portfolio.

“Working with GoldenRace and Spinmatic since 2021 has allowed us to consistently provide our operators with the most engaging content on the market. The traffic we see, particularly through mobile and online channels, is a testament to the quality of the games. We’ve seen Spinmatic become our most successful product line by far, with the Sizzling Blaze series generating incredible engagement across the board.”

Baha Yahya, CEO of Playlogiq.

The Spinmatic product line has emerged as the undisputed champion of this partnership. It is, by a significant margin, the most successful product line provided to Playlogiq.

While Spinmatic slots are currently leading the charge, GoldenRace Virtual Sports remain a staple of the Playlogiq offering. They provide a consistent, reliable revenue stream and are particularly beloved by sports betting enthusiasts.

What makes this partnership truly special isn’t just the GGR or the traffic stats—it’s the very strong relationship between the companies, which speak the same language when it comes to quality and share a common vision for the future of igaming.
