VeliTech is preparing to make its first-ever appearance in Brazil at BiS SiGMA South America 2026, taking place in São Paulo from April 6–9. Exhibiting at Stand i156, the company arrives with strong momentum, highlighted by a double awards shortlist and a casino content portfolio designed to make an impact.

The company has been shortlisted in two major categories ahead of the event:

• Best Platform for VeliTech
• Best Gaming Experience for VeliPlay

These nominations underline the strength of VeliTech’s ecosystem, with its core iGaming platform recognized for reliability and scalability, while VeliPlay gains attention for delivering fast-paced, high-energy gameplay through its growing portfolio of crash and instant games.

Casino Content Takes Centre Stage

For its Brazil debut, VeliTech is placing a clear focus on its casino offering. At the heart of the showcase is VeliPlay, featuring a lineup built around speed, immersion, and repeat engagement — key factors in today’s competitive iGaming landscape.

The portfolio has recently been strengthened with new releases, including Pinball Rush, which adds to its expanding catalogue of adrenaline-driven titles. This focus aligns with broader industry trends, where instant and crash games continue to gain traction among players seeking fast and dynamic experiences.

Complementing this is Heaven of 7, the group’s slot development arm, known for visually rich games and engaging mechanics. Its latest release, Coin Up: Rise, highlights the studio’s commitment to combining strong design with accessible gameplay, helping operators diversify their content mix.

Aggregation Power with VeliGames

Completing the offering is VeliGames, VeliTech’s aggregation platform, which has recently been recognised as an Industry Rising Star by SiGMA. Through a single integration, VeliGames provides operators with access to a wide portfolio of content alongside robust back-office tools.

This combination of aggregation technology and in-house content studios allows VeliTech to offer a fully connected casino solution. By bringing together instant games, slots, and scalable infrastructure, the company aims to help operators streamline operations while enhancing player engagement.

A Strategic Move into a High-Growth Market

Brazil is widely regarded as one of the most promising emerging markets in iGaming, making VeliTech’s debut particularly significant. As regulation evolves and competition increases, providers are looking to establish an early presence with strong, differentiated offerings.

Mats Lundin, Chief Sales Officer at VeliTech, said:

“Brazil is one of the most exciting markets in iGaming right now, so making our debut at BiS SiGMA South America is a big moment for us. We’re coming to São Paulo with a content lineup built to make an impact, from fast-paced crash and instant games to engaging slots, all backed by the power of VeliGames aggregation. To be shortlisted for both Best Gaming Experience and Best Platform ahead of our first event in Brazil makes this milestone even more exciting.”

Visitors attending BiS SiGMA South America can meet the VeliTech team at Stand i156 to explore how its integrated technology and content portfolio can support operators in building stronger, more competitive casino offerings.

Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) has become the first international gaming lab to be accredited in Ukraine.

GLI Europe B.V. was appointed by Ukrainian regulatory authority, PlayCity, as both a testing/certification and inspection body for gambling equipment in the country and is currently the only foreign entity to be accredited.

GLI Europe B.V. will perform testing and certification of all gaming related hardware and software in accordance with the requirements of PlayCity and the Ukrainian gaming regulatory framework. GLI will deliver all Ukrainian certification services through its European operational hub, GLI Europe B.V., ensuring certification is conducted under GLI’s ISO/IEC 17025, 17020, and 17065 accreditations.

The company will work with both foreign and Ukrainian suppliers, whereas Ukraine is considered a regulated market, and suppliers will need to hold a certificate of approval from PlayCity in order to request certification for the market.

“We are grateful for the trust PlayCity has placed in GLI. At GLI, we work with regulators in more than 710 jurisdictions, and we will bring our global expertise to PlayCity and to suppliers who wish to enter the Ukrainian market, guaranteeing the highest levels of testing quality and compliance,” said James Boje, Managing Director, EMEIA.

Wazdan has continued its European growth strategy by entering the Austrian iGaming market through a new partnership with win2day, the country’s only licensed online casino operator. The move represents a significant milestone for the developer as it strengthens its footprint in regulated markets across the region.

The agreement will see a selection of Wazdan’s most recognisable titles made available to Austrian players, including 9 Coins, Hot Slot: 777 Cash Out, and Mighty Wild: Panther. These initial releases mark the beginning of a broader rollout strategy aimed at steadily expanding the studio’s presence on the platform.

Gradual Rollout Strategy

Following the initial launch, Wazdan plans to introduce one new title each month to the win2day portfolio. This phased approach allows the operator to continuously refresh its offering while ensuring each addition aligns with player preferences and market demand.

By focusing on quality over volume, the partnership is designed to enhance player engagement through carefully selected content that combines strong visual appeal with innovative gameplay mechanics.

Bringing Signature Features to Austria

In addition to its established titles, Wazdan will introduce Austrian players to its suite of proprietary features that have become central to its brand identity. These include Hold the Jackpot, Cash Infinity, Collect to Infinity, Sticky to Infinity, and Cash Out.

These mechanics are designed to increase player interaction and extend gameplay sessions by adding dynamic elements and customizable experiences. As operators increasingly seek differentiated content, such features play a key role in enhancing retention and overall player satisfaction.

Partnering with a Trusted Operator

win2day is operated by Austrian Lotteries, a long-established organization with more than four decades of experience in the market. As the sole licensed online casino operator in Austria, win2day holds a unique position, combining strict regulatory compliance with a strong reputation for responsible gaming.

The collaboration brings together Wazdan’s expertise in game development with win2day’s established market presence, creating a partnership focused on delivering high-quality and secure entertainment to players.

Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, said:

“Entering the Austrian market with win2day is a significant milestone for Wazdan and a rewarding step in our continued European expansion. Partnering with a trusted, long-established operator allows us to deliver the quality user experience we are known for to a new audience.”

Georg Wawer, Managing Director of win2day, added:

“As Austria’s only licensed online gaming operator, we are committed to offering a carefully curated portfolio of high-quality games. Partnering with Wazdan allows us to combine engaging gameplay with the highest levels of safety and responsibility.”

Strengthening Regulated Market Presence

As the European iGaming landscape continues to evolve, expansion into regulated jurisdictions remains a key priority for leading developers. Wazdan’s entry into Austria highlights its commitment to sustainable growth through strategic partnerships and compliance-driven market entry.

By aligning with a trusted operator and delivering proven content alongside innovative features, Wazdan is well-positioned to establish a strong presence in the Austrian market.
