Meet GR8 Tech: Parimatch Tech’s experience and expertise embodied in great B2B solutions
On January 25, 2023, a new company entered the global iGaming B2B market: GR8 Tech. As the successor to Parimatch Tech — the company that developed the platform and marketing solutions for the Parimatch brand — GR8 Tech combines 30 years of experience in the iGaming market with a focus on long-term partnerships, commitment, and a straightforward approach to providing great gaming tech to satisfy the even greater ambition of its clients.
Coming from a large ecosystem, we know firsthand about working with B2C clients, clearly understand the pains and problems of operators, and can solve them with our developments. We understand that business is a race in which the only partners you need are GR8 ones. That means us.
“The creation of GR8 Tech is a long-awaited event, towards which we at Parimatch Tech have been consistently working throughout 2022. I am delighted and proud to see Parimatch Tech’s people embark on this new B2B journey. I’m convinced their experience and expertise under the guidance of GR8 Tech CEO Evgen Belousov will allow them to realise all the ambitious goals the company sets itself,” commented Maksym Liashko, ex-CEO of Parimatch Tech.
Our race in the gambling industry began in 1994 with the birth of Parimatch — a worldwide brand, famous for its fighting spirit and partnerships with top football clubs, athletes and esports organisations. As well as the Parimatch brand development, we discovered and developed the potential of technologies for the industry. In 2021, our expertise in betting and iGaming technologies became vital, and Parimatch Tech was established to meet the Parimatch brand demand for technologies to conquer new heights.
Our platform handles the peak betting loads from any top sports event on this planet without downtime. For us, it is now time for a new race: Parimatch Tech’s evolution to GR8 Tech.
We can now provide full tech coverage for established gambling businesses, including:
- A GR8 iGaming platform with a sportsbook, casino, payments hub, flexible API, CRM tools, player management, risk management, fraud prevention, gamification, and other custom tools and services.
- GR8 BaaS (Business-as-a-Service), offering a ready-made business with a running structure, streamlined processes, launched marketing, a reporting system, and early financial results.
- The GR8 Parimatch franchise, with the well-known worldwide Parimatch brand and iGaming platform for regulated markets under complete partner management.
In addition, GR8 Tech offers consulting, integration, and operation services — all via a convenient one-stop-shop approach. The outcome is all-round, stable, resilient, adaptive, and highly scalable business solutions for iGaming companies, which are easy to integrate and manage without the need for supervision or intrusion.
“Today’s B2B iGaming market is quite saturated with offers, yet it very much lacks consistency, convenience, and great service. We are here to change that and set a new norm in what a great product means. GR8 Tech composes tailor-made gaming solutions designed to evolve and fit the changing business environments, thus allowing our partners the freedom of forward thinking and long-term planning. And that’s GR8!” said GR8 Tech CEO Evgen Belousov.
All GR8 Tech products and services have been quality checked by Parimatch brand operators worldwide. Company clients (Parimatch Eastern Europe, PМІ, Parimatch United) successfully use GR8 Tech products in 15 markets worldwide, including Ukraine, Cyprus, the United Kingdom, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Kenya, Nigeria, and several other countries across Europe, Asia, and Oceania. The GR8 Parimatch brand is supported by several global partners, including Oleksandr Usyk, Parimatch Responsible Gambling Ambassador; four English Premier League teams (Leicester City, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United); and two top esports organisations (00Nation and Team Secret).
GR8 Tech’s first offline contact with the global iGaming community will take place on February 7-9, 2023, at ICE London, in meeting room S10-425, where attendees will be able to meet the company’s CEO, CTO, and BD Manager, learn more about the greatest tech in the iGaming B2B market and be one of the first in 2023 to get GR8 Tech for their businesses.

There is a new hero in Mexico as FBM® launches the thrilling Croc’s Lock
. This slot game merges an engaging storyline with a disruptive game mechanic based on the Lock feature and two accumulators, taking players into a cartooned adventure with Super Croc full of golden coins to collect.
Croc’s Lock is a 30-line slot filled with adrenaline and great prizes. Super Croc is the character around all action happens. Working with 15 independent reels, Croc’s Lock offers gaming sessions where Super Croc exploits lead the player through an entertaining journey with three new features. The surprise element is always present, as the big prizes can come on the main game or bonus free spins modes.
Extra Coins and Extra Spins unlock extra fun!
The central reel is the focus of the Croc’s Lock game mechanic. Every time players obtain a Super Croc on this position, the Lock Feature is activated. Super Croc liberates all the existing lock symbols and may open the bonus with Extra Coins, Extra Spins or both accumulators combined.
If the bonus mode starts with one chest open, players get five free spins. This number increases to ten free rounds when Super Croc triggers Extra Spins and Extra Coins at the same time. Each accumulator of the Croc’s Lock slot game presents a different feature:
- Extra Spins – Super Croc releases thunders from its fingers, increasing the free spins counter during the bonus rounds.
- Extra Coins – Super Croc changes the reels by shooting flaming coins to introduce more lock symbols on each free round.
The character stays on the central reel during the bonus plays. The features attached to each accumulator appear in the first free spin and can be repeated several times during the bonus rounds.
When players get into the bonus with one of the accumulators active, Super Croc keeps contributing with coins for the unopened chest. These contributions can lead to the opening of the other accumulator, allowing players to benefit from the combined effect of Extra Spins and Extra Coins.
Four jackpots, reel rewinds, and Luck Has Arrived to collect bags of coins
The Lock feature is just a part of Croc’s Lock’s adrenaline injection. This FBM slot offers a complete feature set, including four Progressive Jackpots and two game features ready to keep the players engaged on the screen: Rewind and Luck Has Arrived.
- Progressive Jackpots – Croc’s Lock offers access to four different prize levels – Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand – through a jackpot vault that can appear on the reels during the main game or bonus rounds.
- Rewind – part of the Super Croc special powers, this feature changes the game round outcome. When Crocs hits the paw, one or more reels will change the symbol displayed and deliver a winning round to the player.
- Luck Has Arrived – the lasers coming from the eyes of the Super Croc pre-announce this feature, anticipating a big win for the player.
A villain, a hero and great graphics engage players in a disruptive FBM slot!
Several factors contribute to the immersive game experience offered by Croc’s Lock. Besides the rewards included in the product’s feature set, this FBM slot involves casino players and operators through a compelling narrative with the traditional duel “hero vs villain”.
On one side, the Lock represents the evil force of the game and is visible on all lock symbols landed on the 15 independent reels, bringing challenges to the game hero on each spin. On the other side, Super Croc embodies the superpowers of the good forces on a joyful character, who guides the player on all relevant moments of the game with entertaining animations like the dances, the paw hit, the Extra Spins thunders, the Extra Coins flaming coins or the Luck Has arrived lasers.
The sound effects of Croc’s Lock add an extra layer of enthusiasm, completing the visual effects and animations of the game with sounds that keep on the player’s mind with catchy rhymes and melodies.
Available for the Galaxy II, Auria and Shadow III casino cabinets, Croc’s Lock starts its expansion journey in Mexico. Designed for players looking for significant prizes in durable and long-lasting gaming sessions, this title promises to enchant slot fans spread all over the country.
Following the releases of Jin Qián Link Spirits and Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees, FBM continues renovating its slots portfolio with an innovative, reliable, high-performing casino game. Croc’s Lock is compatible with different casino floor layouts and ready to add value to the casino operator’s portfolio with an exciting narrative and compelling aesthetics, features, and game mechanics.

Betsson Group has today launched its flagship brand, Betsson, in Lithuania, marking a new chapter in the Group’s ongoing strategy to unify and elevate its brand presence globally. The rebrand sees the former Betsafe operation transition to the Betsson brand, further strengthening the company’s positioning in regulated markets.
Betsson Group first entered the Lithuanian market in 2016 through the acquisition of TonyBet, which was rebranded as Betsafe the following year. Since then, the brand has gone from strength to strength, establishing itself as one of the leading operators in the country. The transition to Betsson reflects the Group’s ambition to bring even greater consistency, scalability, and brand recognition to its operations across regulated markets. For Lithuanian customers, it ensures the same trusted and seamless gaming experience – now backed by the strength of a globally recognised brand, with expanded resources, international partnerships, and unique fan engagement opportunities.
Jesper Svensson, CEO at Betsson Group, commented, “Lithuania has been an important market for us over the years, and this rebrand is a natural next step in our journey. By aligning our presence in the market under the Betsson brand, we can tap into broader marketing synergies, strengthen our global identity, and continue offering the same great service that our customers know and trust.”
The rebrand reflects Betsson’s ongoing investment in Lithuania, where the company moved into a larger office in Vilnius’ Central Business District just over two years ago. Today, the office is home to around 40 employees working across commercial, payments and support functions.
Over the years, the Group has also built strong local partnerships that demonstrate its commitment to sport. Betsafe is the title sponsor of the Lithuanian Basketball League (Betsafe-LKL), one of the most competitive leagues in the region. The brand also supports both the men’s and women’s Lithuanian national basketball teams, and is a proud sponsor of football club FC Žalgiris.
This brand transition also aligns with Betsson Group’s broader international marketing strategy. The Group is actively investing in high-profile sports sponsorships, including partnerships with Boca Juniors and Racing Club in Argentina, Inter in Italy, Atlético Nacional in Colombia and several other clubs across Europe and Latin America. These global initiatives not only raise brand awareness but also bring added value to local markets like Lithuania through stronger brand recognition and cross-market campaigns.
