Global software and services provider teams up with award-winning studio to further extend its portfolio of casino titles

Markor Technology, the global provider of B2B and B2C technology solutions for the iGaming industry, has announced that it has further strengthened the portfolio of content offered on its aggregation platform with the addition of Relax Gaming titles.

Having already assembled a detailed line-up of over 5,000 casino releases from some of the industry’s most celebrated providers, the inclusion of Relax games will now give Markor clients access to an even greater library of titles and enable them to offer more choice to customers in a variety of key markets.

Known for its fast and flexible content delivery, Markor is already certified to supply games in Gibraltar, Malta and the UK, and was recently granted Spanish certification by achieving Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (DGOJ) standards to offer its services to all licensed operators working within the country.

Relax Gaming has steadily developed an award-winning collection of casino titles that has seen the company recognised as one of the iGaming industry’s most celebrated software providers and a hugely covered brand among online operators.

The collaboration will enable Relax Gaming to distribute its in-house content across a variety of Markor’s online casino partners, cementing the studio’s position as a market leader and connecting it with new players in some of the world’s biggest gaming jurisdictions.

Some of the group’s most successful releases to date include the Temple Tumble series and the popular Western trilogy, Money Train. With the new partnership representing the coming together of an already established iGaming powerhouse and one of the industry’s fastest-growing technology suppliers, both parties are looking forward to what promises to be both a successful and mutually beneficial collaboration going forward.

Melissa Summerfield, Chief Executive Officer at Markor Technology, said: “Markor Technology has rapidly built a reputation for being one of the industry’s leading providers of game aggregation services – and partnering with the biggest names in iGaming has undoubtedly been key to our growth.
“By bringing on board a brand with the global reputation and stature of Relax Gaming, we’ll be able to offer an even greater variety of top-quality titles to our online casino partners and we look forward to hearing the feedback from their players after they take some of these great new games for a spin.”

Nadiya Attard, Chief Commercial Officer at Relax Gaming, said: “We’re delighted to supply our award-winning games to Markor Technology’s platform. Despite only being founded a few years ago, the company has established itself as a top provider of aggregation services in the iGaming industry.
“With Markor’s recent acquisition of multiple licences, as well as regulatory approval to work with Spanish operators, we hope our leading titles will prove a key driver in further expanding their brand.”

There is still much more to achieve.”

EF highlighted Faker’s competitive record, describing him as a six-time League of Legends World Champion, EWC 2024 winner, two-time MSI champion and ten-time domestic champion with T1.

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.

The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.

Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:

“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.

“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.

“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”

Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.
