In-demand software supplier teams up with rapidly-expanding online casino network to bring full portfolio of titles to brand-new audiences in a wide range of iGaming markets

Having already signed off on a number of exciting partnership deals earlier this year, hotshot software providers Swintt are showing no signs of slowing down this month following the announcement that their full range of casino titles will now be available via PressEnter.

Like Swintt, PressEnter is a relatively young iGaming company who has enjoyed a meteoric rise to prominence over the past few years. Founded in 2018, the group currently boasts eight instantly-recognisable online casino brands within its ever-expanding network, with the likes of XLbet, Nitro Casino and Neon Vegas all catering to players in a wide range of markets around the world. Of course, the good news for customers at any of PressEnter’s online casino platforms is that they will now all be able to host Swintt’s rich and varied line-up of online video slots. These include both classically-styled games that take their inspiration from iconic land-based slot machines and more modern titles that all include their own unique themes, gameplay mechanics and innovative features.

Dealing with the latter category first, SwinttGames offer players an exciting mix of state-of-the-art graphics and sound and pioneering bonus rounds. Popular titles from this ground-breaking collection that will now be available at PressEnter sites include Swintt’s most successful launch to date, Aloha Spirit XtraLock^TM, Mystic Bear XtraHold^TM and the highly-anticipated upcoming release, Book of Shai. If straightforward gameplay and an instantly-identifiable line-up of slot symbols that includes iconic classics such as liberty bells, BAR logos and lucky red sevens are more to players’ liking, however, SwinttPremium games definitely hold the answer. With these titles all boasting pick-up-and-play appeal and a selection of rewarding free spins features, they’re the perfect choice for all slot purists.

Fan-favourite games in the SwinttPremium collection that will now feature in the lobbies of PressEnter brands include the genre-defining Master of Books Unlimited, the magical Secret Spellbook Respin and the recently-added totem pole-topping slot, Takutiki, which features three unlockable modifiers. With all these great games and more shortly heading to PressEnter platforms, there’s plenty for players to look forward to this month – and the new collaboration will certainly help both parties further enhance their reputations for being two of the fastest-growing brands in the iGaming industry.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “We’re excited to be able to share our innovative collection of SwinttGames and SwinttPremium releases with players on PressEnter’s casino network.
“Like us, PressEnter is a relatively young brand that has grown exponentially in the last few years and it already boasts a strong line-up of casino platforms in several markets. By teaming up with PressEnter, we’ll be able to introduce our slots to a wide new audience while also helping the company’s sites continue to deliver the outstanding casino content that sets them apart from the competition.”

Hampus Eriksson, Chief Product Officer at PressEnter, said: “While PressEnter has only been active since 2018, we’re incredibly proud of the rate at which the company has grown in such a relatively short space of time “With this in mind, we’re delighted to be teaming up with one of the industry’s most in-demand game providers, Swintt. Having their games in our lobbies will enable us to provide players with even more great casino gaming options and we’re sure they’re going to love everything the studio has to offer.”

Groove has been named a finalist for Best Aggregator 2026 at the SiGMA Asia Awards, with the ceremony scheduled for 2 June 2026 at the SMX Convention Centre Manila during the SiGMA Asia Summit.

The shortlist was announced by Global Gaming Insider, according to the company. Groove said its platform aggregates more than 15,000 games from over 150 providers via a single API.

Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove, said: “This shortlist is external recognition of a truth we already feel internally: Groove is moving at a different pace. Asia is not a single market, it is a collection of distinct regulatory environments, player behaviours, and partnership opportunities”

Campo added: “Our platform is built to respect that complexity, not smooth it over. Being named a finalist for Best Aggregator tells us that our approach; deep integration, localised content strategies, and commercial precision; is resonating with the operators who matter most in this region. We are not just bringing games to Asia. We are bringing a roadmap for sustainable growth.”

Yahale Meltzer, Co-Founder and CEO of Groove, said: “The aggregation space is crowded. Differentiation is everything. This nomination confirms that our vision, transforming aggregation from a commodity into a strategic growth discipline, is taking hold.” He added: “Operators across Asia are no longer asking for just volume or speed. They are asking for structural resilience, data intelligence, and a partner who can execute across fragmented regulatory landscapes with precision. Groove delivers that. To be recognised alongside the best in Asia is a privilege, but the real work continues in Manila and beyond. We are here to win, not just awards, but the trust of the operators who build their businesses on our platform.”

DATA.BET says turnover from its virtual content grew 168% between Q1 2025 and Q1 2026, with the supplier reporting the product accounted for 39% of total virtual sports turnover and 45% of profits over the period.

The company said the content is developed fully in-house and delivered through automated bot-vs-bot matches that run 24/7 without dependence on real-world fixture schedules. DATA.BET positioned the format as a way to provide continuous events and reduce operational overhead for operators.

Across the same period, DATA.BET reported +299% active users, +129% across clients GGR, +246% events per quarter, and +218% bets placed.

DATA.BET also said the audience profile overlaps with live football bettors, which it believes supports retention during seasonal breaks. The supplier added that the algorithm-driven format “carries no fraud exposure,” supports In-Stream Betting overlays, and provides near-zero latency between broadcast and market updates.

“Over the past year, our bot-vs-bot virtual content has delivered consistent, measurable results across every operator deployment. Building e-Football in-house gives us the flexibility to configure it to what each operator actually needs — whether that is a specific league structure, a particular mix of bot and player content, or a branded competition format,” mentioned Rostyslav Likhtin, Head of Product at DATA.BET.

They understand that younger audiences expect entertainment and engagement across every digital touchpoint, including finance, which is exactly how we think about design.”

Albert Wang, Coverd co-founder, added: “Today’s consumer is actively embracing gamified products across every category, so there’s no reason personal finance should stay in the stone age. We’re excited to work with 155.io to make financial experiences more interactive and give everyone a chance to live big by winning back their purchases. 155.io’s next-gen content fits perfectly with what we’re building at Coverd.”
