SlotMatrix, the industry’s largest content platform, is live in New Jersey with its first US games aggregation deal with the betPARX brand.

BetPARX is now able to offer its customers exclusive EveryMatrix games plus a host of best-performing, third-party live and slots content including Evolution Gaming’s ‘One Stop Shop’ portfolio from studios such as NetEnt, Red Tiger, NoLimit City and Big Time Gaming.

EveryMatrix is the first supplier to integrate and launch Evolution’s One Stop Shop range of games in the US – another significant milestone for the industry’s fastest growing technology and games provider.

BetPARX’s aggregated content is further enhanced with EveryMatrix’s gamification and player engagement features including free spins, leaderboards and tournaments.

SlotMatrix will become the US operator’s leading iGaming content aggregator and expand its reach to a further two states, Pennsylvania and Michigan, in the first quarter of this year.

SlotMatrix is the iGaming industry’s largest casino aggregator with more than 300 studio partners and 33,000 games.

EveryMatrix has more than 300 global customers and holds North American licences in Ontario, New Jersey, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.

Erik Nyman, President, EveryMatrix Americas, said: “Going live with our first ever aggregation agreement with such a great partner as betPARX is a real milestone for the EveryMatrix business in North America.

“Not only does our SlotMatrix platform open the door to a vast variety of content from leading iGaming suppliers such as EveryMatrix Games and Evolution, but it crucially also means betPARX customers can now significantly enhance their gaming experiences by playing the best and most exciting slots and live games the US market has to offer.”

John Dixon, COO, betPARX, said: “Our integration with EveryMatrix means our players will benefit from superior gaming experiences by accessing the most in-demand titles, amplified by numerous gamification features that will further level up their enjoyment and engagement. We’re excited to see the results across all three states.”

Pavilion Payments, the leading omnichannel payments provider exclusively serving the gaming industry, has announced a strategic partnership with betPARX. This partnership will integrate Pavilion Payments’ cutting-edge Real-Time Payments (RTP) solution—fully supporting FedNow and RTP networks—into betPARX’s platform, revolutionizing the payout experience for patrons by enabling instant access to their winnings.

The RTP solution offers patrons instant access to funds within minutes, a significant improvement over traditional payout methods that often take days. By supporting both FedNow and RTP networks, Pavilion Payments ensures broad coverage across various financial institutions. If a patron’s account is ineligible for RTP or FedNow, payouts are seamlessly processed via Same-Day ACH. Real-time notifications provide added convenience and security throughout the process.

“At betPARX, we are dedicated to providing our customers with the best possible experience, and that includes how quickly they can access their winnings. By partnering with Pavilion Payments and implementing their Real-Time Payments solution, we are able to meet our patrons’ expectations for instant payouts, enhancing their overall gaming experience,” said John Dixon, COO of betParx.

“At Pavilion Payments, we are committed to putting our customers first, which is why we developed our Real-Time Payments solution. This feature directly addresses a common concern among patrons: while deposits are instant, withdrawals should be too. By partnering with betPARX, we’re ensuring that their customers can enjoy not just a seamless deposit experience but also the instant access to their funds that they expect and deserve,” Brian Clayton, Senior Vice President of iGaming at Pavilion Payments, said.
