First Look Games has added yet another big-name studio to its growing roster of partners after putting pen to paper on a deal with RAW iGaming, the studio that positions itself as the pink shark in the sea of sameness.

RAW iGaming is one of the hottest providers in the market right now, gaining notoriety for its innovative and patent-pending Super Slice engine which uses wheels instead of reels.

The provider will use First Look Games for the purpose of game promotion, using its network of 800+ approved affiliates to increase exposure for its slots among operators and players in highly competitive online casino markets across Europe and beyond.

As a First Look Games partner, RAW iGaming can share information about each of its standout slot titles including logos, images and videos of them being played. These assets are hosted in a dedicated library where affiliates can download information for individual games or in bulk.

RAW iGaming can manage all information and assets via the FLG Studio Management Centre where it can also highlight any exclusivity agreements and even add or remove jurisdictions for each title.

FLG understands that studios want to control the information released about their games, and that’s why the platform allows developers to choose what information is shared with publishers and when that information is made available to them.

They can also access a suite of compliance tools to ensure that all reviews and content created and published by affiliates is accurate and responsible.

Tom Galanis, Co-Founder of First Look Games, said: “RAW iGaming has made a big splash in the market but by using the First Look Games platform the studio can leverage the power of affiliate marketing to drive awareness among more players and operators than ever before.

“Our approved publishers have a combined player audience in excess of 20 million people, and we allow studios such as RAW iGaming to engage with this huge community of players easily and with confidence that any information published about their slots is accurate and responsible.”

Tom Wood, CEO at RAW iGaming, added: “We have positioned RAW as a pink shark, something completely new in an endless sea of similar games launched every month. This partnership with FLG allows us to leverage the reach of affiliates to better promote our games and introduce our new patent-pending, innovative mechanics.

“RAW really is changing the game, and we look forward to making more players and operators aware of just how revolutionary our slots are.”

The Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has released draft rules for the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, which was introduced back in August.

The draft outlines how online games will be classified and registered, what formats are permitted, and the powers of the proposed Online Gaming Authority of India. It also specifies how registrations can be suspended or cancelled, how grievances will be addressed, and what penalties will apply for violations.

The ministry has invited public feedback on the draft, asking stakeholders to send comments on each rule by October 31.

The Act aims to draw a clear line between gaming and gambling. Passed in August, it bans online money games while supporting esports and “social gaming” (regular video games) as legitimate forms of entertainment.

Introduced by Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on August 20 in the Lok Sabha, the Bill cleared the Rajya Sabha the next day and received presidential assent by August 22.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi called it a “major decision,” saying, “Gaming is not bad, gambling is. They call it gaming, but it becomes gambling.” He added that India should strengthen its global position in gaming and capture a larger share of the market.
