QTech Games bolsters its offering with SA Gaming integration
Emerging-markets leader extends its premier portfolio with more top content from an established force in live casino
QTech Games, the number-one games distributor across all emerging markets, has announced its latest premium partnership with multi-award-winning live casino supplier, SA Gaming.
Under the terms of the new agreement, SA Gaming’s entire portfolio has been integrated for QTech Games clients and their players, providing another cutting edge to a powerhouse platform recognised for bringing the finest online games to market across developing territories.
SA Gaming is a leading online entertainment platform provider in Asia. As a winner of the APAC-Focused Technology Supplier of the Year at the International Gaming Awards and Best B2B Digital Platform at the SPiCE Awards, its efforts and recent achievements are recognised across the gaming sector.
By deploying state-of-the-art technology and local expertise, SA Gaming offers a full spectrum of live games – from timeless classics like Baccarat to Indian favourite Andar Bahar or Southeast Asia’s Pok Deng, alongside the recently launched Sexy Hall (a smash-hit beachside studio with a strong South American vibe). Each product has been developed by industry experts and is backed up by well-regarded support services. Accordingly, these games now all form part of the progressive portfolio made available to QTech Games, its partners and the culturally-diverse appetites of their myriad players.
Integrating this thriving production line consolidates QTech Games’ wide range of gaming verticals, providing a definitive one-stop shop that has quickly become the “go-to” solution for worldwide operators across developing territories. SA Gaming’s premium quality content suite, featuring these immersive iterations of classic table games, now sits neatly alongside other cutting-edge live studios, such as Evolution and Ezugi, giving QTech Games partners and their players an unrivalled choice for live casino.
The deal organically broadens SA Gaming’s global footprint, broadening its scope of growth markets for accelerated expansion. As the number-one distributor for emerging markets over the past few years, QTech’s platform is localised for each region with native mobile apps, robust reporting and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.
Daniel Long, CCO at QTech Games, said: “We’re excited to be teaming up with SA Gaming, whose team has has managed to build a strong fan-base in Asia and are moving on to conquer previously untapped markets in Europe and LatAm.
“Wherever you set your scene in this ever-changing landscape, our platform champions a mobile-first mantra, packed with all the best localised games that cater to varied cultural tastes. By way of simple example, if you don’t offer the fish game in China, there’s no chance of becoming successful. And it’s a similar story with the Andar Bahar in India or Pok Deng in Southeast Asia. SA Gaming understand the demand for regional specificity throughout Asia and beyond.
“We’re thrilled about this partnership. They represent another award-winning supplier which offers fast-paced games for fast-growing markets. With their sought-after Sexy Hall studio – alongside in-demand Andar Bahar, Baccarat and Pok Deng titles – we’re sure to boost our strong portfolio of partners across untapped territories like India.”
Osman Walker, Chief Strategy Officer at SA Gaming, added: “This deal significantly broadens SA Gaming’s international influence, opening up ‘margin’ markets from Eastern Europe and Latin America for diversified growth.
“We’re progressively working to extend our already considerable reach, which will also involve establishing ourselves in Europe and CIS-facing territories. QTech’s broad spread of emerging-markets access means we can achieve this with dexterity while also bolstering our existing Asia-facing audience.
“We have assembled some of the best professionals in the industry, created many popular products, and provided outstanding services, as evidenced by these above accolades. The global transition towards mobile gaming is only strengthening as the main source of players and revenue streams. So, to keep up with this fast-growing market, we’ve fine-tuned our development process. In short, our UIs have been re-engineered to make sure mobile users can enjoy the best gaming experience available on mobile devices.
“Together, we can continue to raise the bar and shape a localised experience for global players amid varied cultures. We can’t wait to witness how these games perform across a range of untapped markets which, in some instances, break new ground for SA Gaming.”

Play’n GO announces landmark partnership with Resorts Digital Gaming
Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has today announced its latest US operator partnership, with Resorts Digital Gaming, in the state of New Jersey.
Resorts Digital Gaming was acquired by Boyd Interactive in September 2024, and this announcement sees the group’s players on the www.resortscasino.com and www.mohegansuncasino.com brands in New Jersey gain access to a multitude of classic Play’n GO game titles, such as the legendary Book of Dead, Rise of Merlin, and Rise of Olympus.
Play’n GO entered New Jersey in September 2022, shortly after first launching in the US via the state of West Virginia in July of that year. It has since seen its games live in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and most recently, Connecticut.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Play’n GO, commented “New Jersey has been of crucial importance to our US operations for over two years now, so it is with great pleasure that we make this announcement in conjunction with Resorts Digital Gaming.
“The company joins together two instantly recognizable operator brands, and the addition of Play’n GO’s games will be of enormous mutual benefit. We confidently describe ourselves as the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, and partnerships like this one are of great importance to us in establishing that idea. We’re excited to see this partnership flourish.”
Jim Ryan, Chief Executive Officer at Boyd Interactive, added “The whole Resorts Digital Gaming team is excited to bring Play’n GO games to our players. Play’n GO is one of the world’s leading iGaming brands, and we’re confident that our players are as excited as we are to see those Play’n GO titles on both www.resortscasino.com and www.mohegansuncasino.com.”

Exclusive Q&A w/ Radek Pšurný, CEO at Match Hype
Match Hype has just won two industry competitions. Talk us through your product.
Match Hype brings engagement from social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram into the sportsbook. Our technology automatically turns raw sports data into short videos full of sports and betting insights. We have the capacity to create up to a million videos daily in more than 30 languages. We also provide hosting and streaming of the videos, and we track everything in the video thanks to our own player. The high level of video experience and the scale make us unique in the market, and we believe that this innovation is extremely needed in the industry—and the judges in the competitions probably agree with us.
What technologies are you leveraging to deliver such a cutting-edge tool/product?
We have more than six years’ experience in developing dynamic video solutions for clients like Microsoft, HBO, and SAP, and a decade in high-end video production for similarly well-known clients. Match Hype is the essence of this. We have developed our own robust cloud infrastructure that enables us to work on a huge scale. We can also leverage the integration of third-party solutions that help us make the video content rich and engaging. The AI boom came at the right time to help us make the experience for the viewer even better.
Who is Match Hype aimed at?
We focus mostly on sportsbook operators, where we think we can bring the biggest value. But we also have clients on the affiliate and media side. Our “competition” at the moment are creative professionals who are able to create one video at a time. To cover hundreds or thousands of events daily, you need huge manpower. With Match Hype, you don’t need that—it’s all automated. Anybody who appreciates this level of efficiency will benefit.
The end users are any sports fans who enjoy engaging videos. So basically everybody.
Has this industry been slow to embrace video content and unlock the potential it offers? If so, why?
It’s hard for us to talk about the whole industry, as we haven’t been part of it for that long. But iGaming feels like a conservative industry where only truly meaningful innovations make it. Fingers crossed for Match Hype being one of them. We are confident because of our track record in other industries, and mostly thanks to the results of our dynamic videos that are already used by significant igaming industry players.
What makes video content so effective at customer acquisition? How can Match Hype be used in this regard?
People just love video content. In the last review, TikTok said that the average user spends around 90 minutes a day on their platform. Platforms like Spotify used to be music and podcasts only; now they are full of videos. You just can’t ignore that. Video killed the radio star, and a static sportsbook is next to die.
And what about retention? How can it be used to keep players engaged and coming back for more?
Imagine that a 30-second video gives you the exact insights to help you make a betting decision without spending dozens of minutes on different resources to gather all the information. People don’t want to read anymore. This is probably an even bigger strength of Match Hype than user acquisition.
What can we expect from Match Hype in the coming months?
We will establish Match Hype as an industry standard for dynamic video content. We’ll bring many more sports like tennis, basketball horse racing and. We are preparing real-time video use cases—for example, half-time updates in football—and new distribution channels like integration directly into streams. The potential is huge. Stay tuned.
Any final thoughts?
For the last year, we have talked with literally hundreds of iGaming experts, investors, and executives. Almost every one of them sees fan engagement as a huge topic in the upcoming months and years. And video will definitely play a key part in it.
Video says more than a thousand words. Give it a go—watch one of our 30-second videos and see for yourself.
