Former Bragg and Oryx commercial lead joins live streaming provider to drive growth

Livespins, the social, live-streaming product that allows players to bet behind their favourite streamer, has bolstered its commercial team with the appointment of Marko Erakovic as Sales Director. The appointment comes as Livespins continues to sign operator partnerships at scale and pace.

Marko brings an extensive 20 years-worth of experience in business development and has a proven track record of cultivating relationships, establishing partnerships, and managing international teams across various industries. His expertise will be invaluable to Livespins as it continues to forge operator partnerships and expand its global presence.

As Sales Director at Livespins, Marko has been tasked with shaping the future of the business, including growing and solidifying its position as the original and undisputed leader in the new igaming vertical that it has forged. This includes fostering strong partnerships that will allow Livespins to establish long-lasting relationships with operators, providers, and streamers, and to engage and captivate new audiences.

Livespins provides an online casino experience like no other. It sits within the online casino lobby, allowing players to watch streamers and bet behind the action taking place across the reels. This creates a group bet and shared player experience, with plenty of social interaction with players able to chat with the streamer and each other throughout.

That Livespins sits within the online casino lobby means that players are offered all of the protections the operator is required to provide under its international and local licences. This in turn allows operators to leverage the tremendous demand for streaming content, while ensuring compliance.

Michael Pedersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Livespins, said: “Marko is a fantastic hire and brings experience, a network of connections and passion to the team and the wider Livespins business. He is an absolute professional with a clear understanding of the market and what operators need when it comes to content that will allow them to engage lucrative but hard-to-reach player audiences.

“I am delighted to welcome him to the team and to work closely with him as momentum continues to build behind Livespins and we join forces with more forward-thinking operators, suppliers and steamers across the globe.”

Marko Erakovic, Sales Director at Livespins, added: “I am thrilled to join the remarkable and talented Livespins team and to embark on the next exciting chapter of my career. Livespins has redefined the concept of live entertainment within the online gambling industry, and I’m eager to bring my passion for identifying new opportunities that will turbo-charge growth and enhance our presence in the market.”

Games Global has launched Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Fusion™ in collaboration with its exclusive partner Fortune Factory Studios, the companies said on 25th June 2026. The new title expands the Gold Blitz™ franchise and introduces the Wild Fusion multiplier tower.

In the base game, the slot features bi-directional Pays. The companies said landing a collect icon on reel three alongside Prize Activators triggers the Fortune Tower™, awarding prizes up to 15x for purple activators and 1,000x for blue activators.

Games Global said Gold Blitz™ tokens and wilds are collected in separate pots during base play and can randomly activate one of two bonuses. Landing three bonus symbols triggers a bonus game where players choose between the Gold Blitz Fortune Tower™ and Wild Fusion Fortune Tower™ features.

The Gold Blitz Fortune Tower™ uses the franchise’s Cash Collect mechanic, with Above Reel Interaction awarding prizes from the Fortune Tower™. In the Wild Fusion Fortune Tower™, cash values convert to multipliers of up to 20x, applying to wins containing wilds.

Alexander Monsma, Team Manager, Game Sales at Games Global, said: “Each new iteration of the Gold Blitz™ franchise aims for subtle differentiation while staying true to its roots. This release pairs two Fortune Tower™ bonuses and Prize Activators, adding a distinct twist on the Cash Collect mechanic.” Dave Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, added: “Gold Blitz™ is one of the most versatile and recognisable game brands across the industry, and Fortune Factory continues to find exciting ways to extend its lifecycle. Gold Blitz Fortune Tower Fusion™ marks another milestone in one of Games Global’s best-performing series.”

Toucan report: Casino.org leads AI search visibility among US iGaming affiliates

Published

toucan-report:-casino.org-leads-ai-search-visibility-among-us-igaming-affiliates

Casino.org ranks as the most visible US-facing iGaming affiliate across major AI platforms, according to a new AI Search Visibility report from Toucan International. The study tested 100 iGaming-related consumer prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity.

Toucan said it ranked 146 affiliates using four measures: the number of times a brand was cited, the number of prompts it was cited in, the total number of times the brand was mentioned, and the number of prompts mentioned in. Casino.org scored 96.8 out of 100, driven by 198 citations across 61 of the 100 prompts—giving it a 19-point lead over BettingUSA.com.

BettingUSA.com placed second with an overall score of 77.6. Toucan noted the affiliate had the most “times mentioned” (27) and “prompts mentioned in” (23), but appeared in fewer “prompts cited in” (50), which the report weighted most heavily. SportsLine ranked third with a score of 74.4, leading the study on “prompts cited in” with 64 and recording 178 total citations.

Covers.com (72.2) and RotoWire (69.8) rounded out the top five. Toucan said the top three affiliates accounted for 37% of citations from a total of 1,755 across the dataset, with the remaining 143 affiliates comprising the rest.

George Webb, Organic Search Director at Toucan International, said: “What the findings reveal is that there is a clear dominance among some of the top affiliates, there is a reasonably broad ecosystem, and dominance isn’t a foregone conclusion.

“We gave the number of prompts a brand is cited in the highest weighting, at 40 per cent, because it’s the best measure of authority in AI Search. Total citations tell you how often a brand shows up, but those can stack up inside a handful of answers. The number of prompts you’re cited in tells you how many different questions the AI trusts you to answer, and that breadth is much harder to earn and much harder for a rival to take off you. It’s also where the commercial value sits: the wider the range of prompts you appear in, the more of the real search demand you’re exposed to.

“Casino.org’s leadership in the report stems almost entirely from citation volume (198) rather than prose mentions (26), meaning it appears as a referenced source rather than a naturally embedded recommendation, whereas BettingUSA.com punches above its citation weight (94) by securing 27 prose mentions, suggesting more organic integration into AI reasoning.

“What I would express to the brands looking to make gains in AI search is that the results are not random and that best practice in terms of how you present onsite content, technical setup and targeting backlinks and coverage from the sources that LLMs are trained on, through Digital PR, can see you improve.”

Kendoo adds 4 Fire Rockets to 4 Pots slot portfolio

Kendoo has launched 4 Fire Rockets, a new slot added to its 4 Pots portfolio, the supplier said on 25th June 2026. The title is now available for demo and real-money play across Kendoo partner platforms.

According to the company, 4 Fire Rockets builds on Hold & Win gameplay with an “upgraded 4 Pots system” and adds a Collect feature, random multipliers, a Life feature and a Double Reels mechanic. The Hold & Win bonus triggers by landing one or more Bonus symbols, locking values while players get a series of respins.

Kendoo said Multiplier symbols can apply 2x, 3x or 5x boosts to Bonus values, while Double Reels duplicates the entire bonus board so play continues across two sets of reels. The Collect symbol can appear during the bonus to gather the values of a specific type of Bonus symbol and remains locked until the round ends.

The Life feature may trigger when respins are running out, adding an extra Bonus symbol and refreshing the counter. Kendoo also highlighted four jackpot tiers from Mini to Grand, with the Grand paying up to 1,000x total bet; with Double Reels active, the company said players can potentially land two Grand Jackpots in a single bonus.

Olga Mugliett, Commercial Director at Kendoo, said: “When we introduced 4 Pots, the response from players showed there was real appetite for a format that offers multiple things to chase at once. With 4 Fire Rockets, we wanted to build on that while making every bonus round feel less predictable.

“The combination of Double Reels, Collect feature, Multiplier feature and the possibility of extending the action through Life creates plenty of moments where a feature can suddenly take a different direction. Those twists are often what players remember most, and that’s something we focused on heavily throughout development.”
