With its focus on innovation, collaboration, and growth, iGB Live is the must-attend event for iGaming professionals looking to succeed in the world of online igaming.
White-label and turnkey specialist ProgressPlay will join thousands of attendees from across the igaming industry to demonstrate their upgraded platform and Responsible Gambling tools that attracted the enthusiastic interest from EGR’s judges. The event offers a forum for businesses to showcase their latest products and services, as well as a space for networking and building relationships with potential partners.
In addition to the exhibition floor, iGB Live also hosts a series of conferences and workshops covering a wide range of topics such as regulation, marketing, and technology, mirroring ProgressPlay’s main areas of expertise. These sessions are led by industry experts who share their knowledge and experience to help attendees stay ahead of the curve in an ever-evolving industry.
ProgressPlay Head of Sales Marina Nahhas said: “Our new iGaming platform has quickly established itself as a game-changer in the industry. We encourage casino owners not to miss out on this opportunity to stay ahead of the competition by pre-booking a meeting in Amsterdam to find out how our new platform and tools can take their business to the next level.”
The online casino platform that ProgressPlay offers is a complete solution for managing any igaming business across multiple channels and products. Features include player account management, payment processing, bonusing, loyalty programs, fraud and risk prevention, as well as game management that includes powerful analytics.
In particular, ProgressPlay has significantly rethought its Responsible Gambling approach, creating an AI-driven proprietary flow for interaction with players which recognises them in real-time and scores them against a number of criteria. A point reinforced by ProgressPlay CEO Itai Loewenstein who said:
“ProgressPlay has developed its own proprietary Responsible Gambling software in an ambitious innovation project over a year in the making that covers a range of factors including KYC, player activity, affordability levels and results in a transparent audit trail to protect and enable players thereby introducing new levels of capability beyond regulatory standards.”
Over 150 online casino brands have partnered with ProgressPlay covering a unique combination of casino games and sports-betting. ProgressPlay’s sportsbook offers up to 40,000 live betting markets and services across 20 languages while the new platform offers a slick AI-driven UI/UX, and extensive value-added services alongside thousands of casino games, including slots, online casino, live casino, poker, table games, and sportsbook, across all devices and currencies.
CEO Loewenstein added: “iGB Live will be a great opportunity to meet all our partners and make new connections within the operator community. Marina and I are very happy to meet everyone and talk about any potential cooperation. See you next month in Amsterdam!”

F*Bastards says it now distributes content via 400+ operators worldwide
F*Bastards says its casino content is now available through more than 400 operators worldwide, marking a distribution milestone for the iGaming supplier as it continues to expand its portfolio and partner network.
In a company statement outlining its background, Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas said the team’s earlier attempt to build a game studio fell short due to positioning rather than production capability. “Looking back, we realised we weren’t missing talent. We were missing identity. We could build games, but we hadn’t built something people could remember. That lesson became the starting point for everything F*Bastards would later become.” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
The company said it intentionally built its brand around differentiation, including the decision to use the name F*Bastards despite the expectation it would split opinion among potential partners. The founders described early progress as incremental, driven by game releases, industry events, operator feedback and relationship-building, rather than a single breakout moment.
F*Bastards also pointed to a fundraising milestone in 2026, saying it secured its first seven-figure investment. The company positioned the round as validation of execution rather than an early-stage concept.
“From day one, the goal wasn’t to become the biggest supplier. It was to build something people would remember. We’ve come a long way, but in many ways, it still feels like we’re only getting started” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
