Gaming Innovation Group signs new deal with Starcasino in Spain
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.”

Nailed It! Games and Lottomart launch co-branded Goal Bonanza slot
Nailed It! Games has partnered with Lottomart to release a co-branded edition of its football-themed slot Goal Bonanza, timed for rising player interest ahead of the World Cup period.
The collaboration integrates Lottomart branding into the game, including a striker character in a branded kit set against a floodlit stadium backdrop.
The branded version retains the core mechanics from the original Goal Bonanza, including Wild Reels, escalating multipliers, jackpot-style rewards and the Goal Bonus feature, with momentum driven by consecutive wins and multiplier progression.
Chris Ruddock, Commercial Director at Lottomart, said:
“Football brings huge energy and engagement, especially in a World Cup build-up year. Launching a branded version of Goal Bonanza allows us to bring that excitement directly into our platform in a way that feels uniquely Lottomart. It’s a strong example of the type of creative partnerships we want to keep building.”
Mauro Dos Santos, Business Development Manager at Nailed It! Games, commented:

OpticOdds adds TCL AI WNBA player prop pricing to its API
OpticOdds has expanded its WNBA betting data offering by integrating The Crowd’s Line AI (TCL AI) player prop pricing into the OpticOdds API, delivering real-time, AI-driven WNBA player prop lines.
The company said the WNBA player prop lines are generated entirely from TCL AI’s in-house models, rather than market averaging or consensus pricing. OpticOdds positions the independent pricing as a differentiated signal for sportsbooks looking to offer distinct WNBA markets.
OpticOdds said each player prop is delivered with full probability distributions and confidence-adjusted vig, aimed at helping operators manage risk, steer action toward higher-confidence markets, and price alternate lines with more precision. The integration combines TCL AI’s machine-learning engine with OpticOdds’ API and trading infrastructure, with the companies saying clients can access fair value prices, identify mispriced lines, and deploy WNBA player props with limited operational effort.
Ryan Weinstock, Vice President at OpticOdds, said: “Working with The Crowd’s Line AI to deliver model‑driven WNBA pricing through our API reinforces OpticOdds’ focus on bringing advanced, market‑grade intelligence to developing sports betting markets.
“This enhancement allows us to scale a truly differentiated offering, using our infrastructure to help sportsbooks deploy high‑quality WNBA player prop markets quickly and efficiently.”
Anthony Lage, CEO at The Crowd’s Line, added: “Our continued collaboration with OpticOdds enables us to deliver differentiated WNBA player prop pricing at scale, empowering sportsbooks to attract new users and improve margins with minimal operational lift.
“OpticOdds makes integration seamless, allowing clients to move quickly and confidently in one of the fastest‑growing sports betting markets.”
