In-demand software studio teams up with leading iGaming technology and content provider to gain further access to online casino operators throughout the Netherlands and beyond

Having ended 2022 with a flurry of new partnership deals that have strengthened the brand’s presence in several key iGaming markets worldwide, Swintt has picked up where they left off last year by today announcing another significant collaboration with Bragg Gaming Group. Under the terms of the new deal, Swintt will work with the renowned iGaming technology and content provider to ensure titles from both its Premium and Select ranges will be available at Bragg-powered online casinos – particularly those in the Netherlands, where Bragg has a large network of platform customers.

This means that Dutch customers at all of Bragg’s online casino partners will now be able to access a wide and richly varied selection of over 150 Swintt releases, with these covering everything from classic games that replicate the land-based casino experience to immersive modern video slots.

With the former proving particularly popular at Netherlands-based online casinos, Dutch players will be able to enjoy exciting entries in the ‘Books’ series such as Master of Books Unlimited and Seven Books Unlimited, as well as recent Premium releases like the prize-packed Seven Seven Pots and Pearls. All of these games combine the familiar fruit-themed symbols and iconic sounds of classic land-based slot machines with innovative features such as Free Spins with expanding wilds and instant-win respins, meaning customers always get an intuitive experience that is as rewarding as it is easy to play.

If a modern video slot experience is more to their liking, however, players at Bragg-powered online casino sites will also be pleased to discover the exciting range of Swintt Select slots that they now have available to them. These include popular titles in Swintt’s “Xtra” series such as Aloha Spirit XtraLock^TM and Monster Disco XtraHold^TMas well as the celebrity-endorsed hit, The Crown starring Vinnie Jones.
With each of these titles boasting its own distinct theme, art style and range of innovative bonus mechanics, slots in the Swintt Select line-up are able to offer something completely unique to players and provide an exciting gameplay experience they simply won’t find with any other software provider.

As such, the collaboration between Swintt and Bragg Gaming Group looks set to be hugely beneficial for both parties, with Swintt able to further extend its market outreach and connect with new customers in the Netherlands and beyond, while Bragg builds on its reputation for providing an unrivalled game selection to its partners that includes titles from the industry’s most sought-after software providers.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Having worked so hard in 2022 to raise the profile of our brand in a number of key iGaming markets, Swintt is delighted to kick off the new year by teaming up with a company of the stature of Bragg Gaming Group. The collaboration will enable Swintt to capitalise on increased market access by connecting with Bragg’s numerous online casino partners and offering our award-winning selection of slots to their customers, particularly in the Netherlands, where Bragg Gaming Group has an incredible network of clients.”

Lara Falzon, President and COO of Bragg Gaming Group, said: “Over the last year, Bragg Gaming Group has enjoyed remarkable success in the Netherlands, establishing access to a broad network of Dutch online casino players via our PAM and content offering.
“Being able to provide access to the industry’s most sought-after suppliers is absolutely key to this and by adding Swintt Premium and Swintt Select slots to our industry-leading platform offering, we’ll be able to provide further choice to our casino clients and enable them to offer even more exciting games to their customers.”

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.

The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.

In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.

“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”

The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.

For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.

The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
