NeoGames’ Aspire Global signs landmark deal with leading UK casino operator Metropolitan Gaming
NeoGames S.A., a technology-driven provider of end-to-end iLottery and iGaming solutions, announced today that its subsidiary, Aspire Global, will provide its full suite of solutions to land-based UK operator group, Metropolitan Gaming, after completing an agreement to power its new digital offering.
Aspire Global will provide Metropolitan with its comprehensive and proprietary online solution, incorporating its Platform (PAM), Managed Services and casino aggregation solution.
Antoine Bonello, Managing Director at Aspire Global, said: “In regulated markets across the world, land-based operators are exploring options to present their customers with a fully rounded, all-encompassing entertainment experience. As a leading UK brand, Metropolitan Gaming sought a partner that was able to offer an advanced technology-based solution that included all gaming verticals, along with Managed Services, and we are delighted to have been selected. It is an important deal for us and one that speaks of our strength in successfully delivering everything operators need to branch out into the online universe.”
Michael Silberling, CEO of Metropolitan Gaming, said: “We see great opportunities within multi-channel solutions and the superior, additional entertainment options this approach presents to players. Aspire Global’s track record as a platform provider in the UK, covering all verticals with class leading content, was impressive and we are delighted to have partnered with them to make this important step. This is an exciting deal, and we look forward to growing together within the well-established and highly regulated UK market.”
The agreement with Metropolitan, which operates one of London’s biggest casinos, Empire Casino in Leicester Square, as well as seven other premium locations across the UK, was secured due to Aspire Global’s strong online operational experience in the UK and its ability to offer a complete proprietary solution.
Another key factor within the multi-year deal is Aspire Global’s advanced technology and processes, which are vital in order to run a compliant operation in a heavily regulated UK market. The multi-channel solution will elevate the gaming experience for players whether they are on the casino floor or playing through their desktop or mobile devices.
With UK regulated Remote Gambling continuing to perform strongly, the provision of a seamless brand experience is widely viewed as presenting a major opportunity for operators partnering with companies offering flexible, technologically advanced, and comprehensive proprietary platform solutions.

ThrillTech powers Paf with bespoke, player-funded jackpot solution

New partnership will drive revenue and monetisation across Paf’s gaming ecosystem through bespoke side-bet mechanic
Nordic-based gaming operator Paf has partnered with ThrillTech, the specialist B2B provider of licensed, player-funded jackpot mechanics, to launch its innovative side-bet jackpot products across Paf’s gaming portfolio.
The integration will see ThrillPots™ deployed across key verticals, enabling Paf to deliver engaging, compliance-led jackpot experiences designed to increase session value, drive incremental GGR and boost monetisation—without disrupting existing revenue streams.
Unlike traditional jackpots, ThrillTech’s products are fully licensed and funded directly by players via opt-in side bets, giving operators access to new revenue opportunities while maintaining regulatory standards. The rollout was achieved through a seamless technical integration and will be made available across multiple markets, including Finland, Sweden and Estonia.
“This partnership with Paf is a milestone moment for ThrillTech,” said Faye Williams, Head of Business Development at ThrillTech. “Paf is one of the most respected operators in the Nordics and their focus on social responsibility makes them an ideal partner for our licensed jackpot ecosystem. We’re thrilled to bring our customisable side-bet jackpots to their players.”
ThrillTech’s flagship jackpot products serve complementary purposes: For example, ThrillPots™ drives incremental monetisation through pooled side-bet mechanics, while ThrillDrops™ delivers real-time, rule-based rewards that enhance engagement.
Kim Johansson, Chief Gaming Officer of Paf, added: “ThrillTech’s jackpot mechanics offer a fresh and modern take on how to create value for both players and operators. We’re excited to be able to offer this concept to our players and to further explore the possibilities of bespoke jackpot campaigns.”
Founded in 1966, Paf is a licensed operator known for its commitment to responsible gaming, community reinvestment, and innovation in regulated markets.
The addition of ThrillTech’s jackpots further enhances Paf’s platform with tools that support sustainable growth and player-friendly features.

AGA Launches “Play Smart from the Start” Consumer Hub to Help Players Game Responsibly

The American Gaming Association (AGA) announced the launch of the Play Smart Consumer Hub, a new online resource designed to help consumers game responsibly. The hub builds on AGA’s Play Smart from the Start, a messaging platform that encourages players to make informed choices and develop habits that keep gaming fun.
“The AGA is committed to making responsible gaming a seamless part of the player experience. Part of the fun of gaming is that everyone plays differently, but no matter how or where you play, staying in control starts with habits that work for you. The Play Smart Consumer Hub provides players with straightforward, actionable tools to help them stay in control and keep gaming fun,” said Bill Miller, president and CEO of the AGA.
Grounded in player research, Play Smart from the Start centers around three key principles:
• Right State of Mind: Start every game with the right mindset—stay present, know your limits, and play on your terms.
• Know the Game: Understand the rules, odds, and bet with intention.
• Act Intentionally: Set a budget, take breaks, and stay aware, win or lose.
The Play Smart Consumer Hub offers practical tools, including:
• A Pre-Play Checklist to help players assess their mindset and set personal limits before betting.
• A Know the Game section that demystifies odds, house advantage, and common sports betting terms.
• A Responsible Gaming IQ Quiz that allows players to evaluate their gaming habits.
• Easy access to support resources like the National Problem Gambling Helpline (1-800-GAMBLER) and state self-exclusion options.
In addition to the consumer tools, the platform also features an Industry Toolkit, providing operators and other stakeholders with resources, including messaging guidance, creative assets, customer communications and activation ideas to support the integration of consistent, responsible gaming programs.
“Whether an operator or supplier is building a new responsible gaming program or looking to refresh existing efforts, this toolkit makes it easy to deliver consistent, player-first messaging across every customer touchpoint,” Miller said.
The Play Smart Consumer Hub is now live at playsmartfromthestart.org.
