Livespins, the social live-streaming product that allows players to bet behind their favourite streamer, brand ambassador or celebrity, has joined forces with developer and content aggregator, REEVO, in a breakthrough partnership for both companies.

Under the deal, REEVO’s entire suite of proprietary slots games will be made available to Livespin’s team of superstar streamers for them to use in their streams for the very first time.

This includes in-house titles such as Crazy Crocs, Wolf Wild, Super Goals and Reels, OktoBeerFest, Spartan Shields and many more.

This is a two-way deal in which Livespins will also be made available to operators powered by REEVO, significantly increasing the distribution of its innovative and in-demand streaming product.

The Livespins platform sits within the casino lobby and delivers unprecedented levels of engagement and interaction by allowing the player to join in with the action taking place across the reels and bet behind the streamer. This creates a group bet and a shared player experience.

Livespins is all about social interaction and this is provided through the ability to chat with the streamer and other players throughout the session, while also being able to add reactions and emojis. This means that whether their bet wins or not, a fun experience is guaranteed with every spin.

REEVO, alongside creating a growing list of proprietary games, is onboarding a diverse range of the industry’s leading suppliers providing its operator partners with a comprehensive selection of the most diverse suite of games – all through a single API integration.

Michael Pedersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Livespins, said: “This deal with REEVO is an important one for Livespins. Not only does it allow us to add more quality content to our growing portfolio of slots for our streamers to access for their streams, but it also increases the distribution of Livespins to more operators than ever before.

“Content is the foundation of any good stream, and we go to great lengths to partner with the best providers in the business, a club that REEVO is very much a part of. Our streamers will absolutely love firing up the reels on its proprietary and third-party games and using them to thrill and excite their audiences.

“Of course, we also look forward to seeing REEVO’s operator partners add Livespins to their lobbies and for them to tap into the huge appetite for casino and slot streaming content.”

Petra Maria Poola, Head of Sales at REEVO, added: “Livespins is an entirely new way for players to experience online casino and they can now do that while enjoying the edge-of-the-seat experience that each of our in-house slots has been designed to provide.

“We are also excited to be able to bring a fun, compliant streaming product to our operator partners for the first time. This will help us to continue to stand out as a game aggregator with a difference.”

ACR Poker is igniting the spring poker season with the Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms Special High Five Edition, offering an astonishing $10 million in guaranteed prize pools alongside the return of its celebrated High Five Series.

From April 12 to April 28, 2026, the special edition will feature two marquee events running simultaneously — an $8 million GTD No‑Limit Hold’em (NLH) and a $2 million GTD Pot‑Limit Omaha (PLO) tournament — promising some of the most thrilling online poker action of the year.

Players buy in for $2,650 and compete for massive mystery bounties, with the NLH event offering up to $500,000 for a single knockout and the PLO event featuring a top bounty of $200,000. Every knockout on Day 2 guarantees at least $5,000 in bounty rewards.

With five Day 1 flights, participants can enter multiple times and build competitive stacks for Day 2’s showdown. Qualifiers begin April 7th through Venom Fever satellites, providing hundreds of seats — some even free — via Direct, Mega, or Beast satellite events.

All players who make it to Day 2 on April 27th at 1:05 pm ET are already in the money. The climactic final table to crown this special edition’s champions will take place on April 28th at 4:05 pm ET.

ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker says the High Five edition builds on the momentum of earlier high‑stakes events like the $50 Million OSS XL, combining huge guarantees with broad access and big bounty potential for players of all bankrolls.

BOS releases report on the prevalence of gambling addiction in Sweden

Sweden has seen a long‑term decline in gambling addiction over the past 25 years, despite rapid growth in online gambling availability, advertising, and mobile gaming.

Economist Ola Nevander’s research for the Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling (BOS) shows that the prevalence of problem gambling has steadily fallen since the early 2000s, even as the market expanded. This trend emerged even with the widespread adoption of digital gaming products and 24/7 access on smartphones.

According to the findings, the proportion of Swedes classified as problem gamblers (based on the Problem Gambling Severity Index) dropped from about 2.2 % in 2008–09 to around 1.3 % by 2021, marking a significant reduction in overall gambling harm.

Gustaf Hoffstedt, Secretary General of BOS, emphasizes that this decline suggests Sweden’s regulatory and industry efforts are moving in the right direction. While the transformation from traditional physical gambling venues to digital platforms has raised concerns, online tools such as responsible gaming technologies and AI‑assisted safeguards are helping reduce problem gambling rates.

However, Hoffstedt cautions that much work remains, because expanded game offerings and persistent advertising mean ongoing responsibility is crucial to maintain and deepen the downward trend.

ACR Poker is turning up the excitement this spring with the Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms Special High Five Edition, featuring $10 million in total guaranteed prize pools. Alongside the return of its popular High Five series, this special edition of the Dual Venoms will run from Sunday, April 12th through Tuesday, April 28th, delivering side-by-side action in the $8 million GTD NLH and $2 million GTD PLO, offering some of the biggest online poker action of the year.

Following the success of previous editions, the $2,650 buy-in Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms return with massive guarantees and mystery bounties that reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the $8 million GTD NLH, a single knockout could earn a player the top bounty prize of $500,000, while the $2 million PLO, which ties as ACR Poker’s biggest Omaha event ever, offers a $200,000 top bounty. Every knockout starting on Day 2 guarantees at least $5,000 in both events.

With five Day 1 flights, players can enter multiple times and combine their stacks to hit Day 2 with some serious firepower. All players reaching Day 2 on Monday, April 27th at 1:05pm ET are already in the money, with the Final Table showdown for the coveted Venom crowns scheduled for Tuesday, April 28th at 4:05pm ET.

Qualifying begins Tuesday, April 7th through a packed Venom Fever satellite schedule, offering hundreds of guaranteed seats at low cost, or even for free, through Direct Satellites, Mega Satellites, and Beast Satellites.

“After the incredible turnout and massive payouts in March’s $50 Million OSS XL, Spring 2026 is shaping up to be epic with the return of our High Five Series and this special Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms edition,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “With huge guarantees, mystery bounties, and accessible satellites for every bankroll, players have double the excitement and double the chance to hit massive prizes!”

The latest Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms delivered massive fields and payouts, with both events exceeding their guarantees. The NLH drew 3,673 entries for a $9,182,500 prize pool, paying over $700,000 to the winner. Runner-up ‘BALDOUS’ from the UK scored the biggest payday of the tournament, claiming the top $500,000 bounty and $730,000 in total bounties, pocketing a whopping $1,240,310 in total. The PLO tournament attracted 837 entrants and generated $2,092,500, with the champion earning more than $300,000.
