Swintt partners with Bragg Gaming Group to expand regulated markets presence
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 XtraLockTM and Monster Disco XtraHoldTM as 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.”

Pascal Gaming signs Ronaldinho for football-themed crash and slot titles
First release is Avinho R10, followed by June launch Fortune Ronaldinho as the studio lines up more titles ahead of the World Cup season.
Pascal Gaming has partnered with Brazilian football player Ronaldinho to launch a dedicated portfolio of games inspired by the athlete, the company said on 26 May, 2026.
The planned pipeline includes crash games, slots and additional titles set to roll out through the year. Pascal Gaming said the initiative is aimed at both Brazil and international markets, and will be supported by tournaments, promotional activity and special events tied to the Ronaldinho-branded portfolio.
The first game confirmed is Avinho R10, described as a crash-style title featuring Ronaldinho “above Brazil” in an aviation-themed experience. A second game, Fortune Ronaldinho, is scheduled for release in June and is positioned as a slot-inspired title.
“Ronaldinho is one of the most recognisable and loved football personalities in the world, so for us this collaboration is much more than a game launch. It is a global entertainment project that combines football culture, emotionally engaging gameplay and strong promotional activities ahead of the World Cup,” said Armen Mnaskanian, Head of Sales at SoftConstruct Gaming Content.
Pascal Gaming said it has been expanding its crash game portfolio during 2026 and investing in localised, character-driven content across Latin America, Africa and Asia. The company added that more Ronaldinho-themed titles and marketing campaigns will be revealed in the coming months.

Duelbits signs Justin Gaethje for branded content ahead of UFC Freedom 250
The JUSTIN2026 campaign was shot in Denver and rolls out over four weeks ahead of the 14 June event at the White House.
Duelbits has launched a branded content campaign with UFC interim Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje, timed to UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Saturday 14th June.
The campaign, branded JUSTIN2026, was shot on location in Denver, Colorado by UK-based creative agency YRDS. Duelbits said the content is designed as a “premium, cinematic series” and will roll out in phases over the next four weeks, peaking on event day.
According to the company, the campaign was planned before UFC Freedom was officially confirmed. Duelbits framed the early commitment as part of a strategy to move faster than traditional sportsbooks around major cultural moments.
“We didn’t want to create another sportsbook promo,” said Jasper Hoekert, Chief Marketing Officer at Duelbits. “We wanted to create something that combat sports fans want to watch, content built around Justin’s authenticity and intensity, not just his fight record. We were planning this before the White House event was even officially confirmed. When you believe in the magnitude of a moment, you don’t wait for permission to act on it.”
“Duelbits came to me with a vision, not just a brief,” said Gaethje. “They wanted to create something that reflected the reality of what I do and who I am, with no smoke and mirrors. When a brand shows up with that kind of conviction and creative ambition, you back it. This campaign is going to be something people remember.”

PokerStars Open Namur returns May 27 with €1m guaranteed Main Event
Belgium stop at Circus Casino Resort Namur runs May 27–June 7 and adds PokerStars Live League points toward a €157,500 credit pool.
PokerStars will bring PokerStars Open Namur back to Circus Casino Resort Namur from May 27 to June 7, with the festival returning one day after the operator’s May 26 announcement.
The stop follows a 2025 edition PokerStars said was record-breaking for Belgium, including 1,571 entries in the Main Event and what it called the largest live tournament prize pool in Belgian poker history.
This year’s schedule is headlined by the €1,100 PokerStars Open Main Event, which carries a €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Other listed highlights include the €400 PokerStars Open Cup (May 27-31), €3,300 Super High Roller (June 1-2), €2,200 High Roller (June 5-6), and €800 Mystery Bounty (June 6-7).
“Last year’s turnout reinforced Namur’s place as one of the most exciting live poker stops in Europe,” said Cedric Billot, Associate Director of Live Events Operations at PokerStars. “What makes the event special isn’t just the size of the fields, it’s the atmosphere around the entire festival.”
PokerStars also positioned Namur as a scoring stop in the PokerStars Live League, which awards points across High, Medium and Low leaderboard tiers. PokerStars said players are competing for a share of €157,500 in PokerStars LIVE event credit, with the top 30 players in each tier qualifying for a €100,000 freeroll at the first European Poker Tour festival of 2027.
