Groove relaunch brand with new technology tools and website
Groove’s new services include a turnkey offering called GrooveOn and a games studio
New back-office technology with smart-data to help maximise operator performance
Aggregator and platform Groove has been on a technology drive to coincide with the company’s update of logo, colour scheme and website at a new web domain: www. groovetech .com. Showing their technology muscles, the latest round of development has been to create new easy-to-use operator tools to further facilitate operator success, including a smart-data capability that gives operators valuable insights on player trends and content to serve players with more and better-suited content.
Over the last seven years Groove has partnered with over 100 content partners as the company has firmly established itself as a competitive platform supporting a significant cluster of casino brands.
The company, Groove Tech, has reorganised its brand platform, embracing Groove as the overarching commercial brand with aggregation as GroovePlay and the new turnkey service GrooveOn. The new master brand has a refreshed colour palette, principally to reflect the next generation technology and services now being provided by the company.
Groove’s team has continued to refine their service vision and mission and is working to introduce easy-to-use technology that helps maximise casino ROI through the implementation of data-driven AI that identifies the best games for each market and individual casino brands. The upgraded tech stack is an integral part of the brand rejuvenation and operators such as GreenFeather, Topia and Super Sonic have already begun migrating their casinos to the improved platform.
In addition, the company’s back-office has seamless access to other key differentiators for casino brands, such as tournaments and free spins, which can be deployed rapidly to impact market behaviour and generate excitement around casino brands that translates into game time and sustainable revenue streams.
Through the smart-data enabled back-office, operators are now able to more efficiently gather data on the outcomes of various initiatives in one screen using the new feature, while a new AI lobby is currently in development and should be introduced this year. The tool is easy to navigate and there are plenty of opportunities to discover new content.
With a strong roster of game partners, Groove continues to grow its library of games, adding more than 100 new games each month. These games range from time-tested classics to the most cutting-edge titles to hit the market. They include bingo, sports betting, casino games, and content that is compatible with lottery providers.
As part of the new business strategy behind the Groove brand, the company has announced its own dedicated games studio, GrooveStudio, which has a portfolio of 32 immersive slots, table and crash games with a pipeline of 10 new games in production.
Yahale Meltzer, COO and co-founder at Groove, added: “Groove’s new logo represents the modern, world-class service we offer to our operator cluster; the creativity in our new look is vitally underpinned by significant innovation in our technology platform. We are a bigger company with bigger ambitions and we look forward to seeing the fruits of this brand and technology refresh as a driver of further growth.”

Hub88 has further strengthened its aggregation platform through a partnership with Games Inc, delivering the studio’s portfolio, shaped by more than a decade of close collaboration with operators, to its global network.
The deal introduces Games Inc’s range of more than 70 tried and tested titles to Hub88’s partners, including slots and table games, granting access to premium content developed with a focus on performance, engagement and player-first design.

Brazil
The IBJR stresses that combating the illegal market is crucial for Desenrola 2.0
The Brazilian Institute for Responsible Gaming (IBJR) warns that the effectiveness of financial protection measures in Desenrola 2.0 fundamentally depends on a rigorous fight against the illegal betting market.
It is also worth emphasizing that in 2025, bets placed on licensed platforms accounted for the equivalent of only 0.46% of household consumption in the country, an extremely small share within the Brazilian budget, according to data from a study by LCA Consultoria.
This reinforces that the main factor of indebtedness in the Brazilian budget continues to be the high cost of credit.
The entity also emphasizes that restrictions on access to the regulated sector may encourage users to migrate to clandestine platforms, which already move around R$ 40 billion per year and operate without any oversight or consumer protection mechanisms.
Combating the illegal market is the most urgent step to prevent unlicensed operators—often associated with organized crime—from exploiting periods of restriction to attract vulnerable audiences.
This concern is heightened by the proximity of the World Cup, a period of natural increase in the volume of sports betting, and by the potential loss of R$ 10.8 billion in revenue for the country if consumption shifts to the underground market.
The IBJR reinforces that the real protection of citizens and the integrity of Desenrola 2.0 depend on coordinated action between the government and the private sector.
The organization advocates for public policies that combine financial education, strengthening responsible gambling, and a strategic offensive against clandestine websites, ensuring that entertainment occurs exclusively within a safe, transparent, and properly monitored ecosystem.

The partnership powers a new, next-generation Formula 1 betting product for Caesars’ sports betting platforms, delivering one of the most advanced wagering experiences ever offered on motorsports across Caesars Sportsbook and William Hill digital and retail platforms.
Caesars Sportsbook and William Hill will leverage ALT Sports Data’s proprietary Formula 1 models, pricing, and real-time data infrastructure to offer a comprehensive and differentiated suite of betting markets.

This includes live race micro markets, predictive driver performance modeling, and large-scale race simulations that generate thousands of possible race outcomes per event, allowing for deeper and more accurate pricing across every lap.
“Formula 1 is one of the most complex and data-rich environments in global sport, and that complexity creates an opportunity to completely redefine the betting experience. Our platform is designed to unlock that potential at scale, and partnering with Caesars allows us to bring a truly differentiated, always-on product to market that reflects the speed, strategy, and unpredictability of Formula 1,” said Joe Dunnigan, CEO and Founder of ALT Sports Data.

By integrating ALT Sports Data’s advanced modeling and real-time official data, we’re able to elevate our Formula 1 offering and give customers a more dynamic way to experience every moment of the race weekend,” said Eric Hession, President of Caesars Digital.
In addition to core markets such as race winner and podium finishes, Caesars and William Hill will offer an expanded set of in-play and micro markets, including lap-by-lap driver matchups, fastest segment performance, pit stop outcomes, overtakes, and position-based milestones. These markets are designed to evolve in real time, enabling a true race-within-a-race experience for bettors.
As the Official and Exclusive Betting Data Supplier of Formula 1, ALT Sports Data is building the foundational infrastructure to support the sport’s growing focus on regulated sports betting and fan engagement.
