ProgressPlay are taking to Cyprus the new innovative technology and tools that the company first introduced earlier this year in London and Amsterdam, to present it at SiGMA Balkans & CIS show during the first week of September.

ProgressPlay’s commitment to innovation, cutting-edge products and casino-centric solutions aligns seamlessly with SiGMA’s values, with the show and awards taking place in Cyprus for the first time where it looks set to attract record numbers of participants aided by the sunny Mediterranean holiday island destination and a pulsating programme of events and speakers.

ProgressPlay, now in their second decade serving the global igaming B2B market, has been doing the rounds of international shows to ensure that operators are aware of their advances in platform capability and service, which have been significantly enhanced by multiple waves of investment.

Central to this increased market exposure is ProgressPlay’s new platform technology which offers a comprehensive gaming management solution across multiple channels and products, giving the company an important revitalised cutting-edge in their quest to deliver long-term value to a deepening operator cluster. ProgressPlay’s new platform manages player accounts, payments, bonuses, loyalty programs, fraud prevention and games, using robust analytics.

ProgressPlay Sales Manager Marina Nahhas said: “We had some really interesting meetings in London and Amsterdam as we expanded our outreach to the global igaming community. As we take our new technology from show-to-show we are delighted with the enthusiasm from operators and casino brands, who have been seeking solutions that can deliver more in this very competitive environment.”

On the proprietary side, and recently introduced to the international online gambling market, ProgressPlay’s innovative Responsible Gambling software covers topics like KYC, player activity, affordability levels, and a transparent audit trail. This breakthrough data-driven software was recognised in the first half of the year with a shortlisting in the EGR’s inaugural Safer Gambling Award, a significant achievement for a new product.

The company has rethought its Responsible Gambling strategy, developing an AI-driven flow for player engagement that recognises players in real-time and rates them according to various standards. This feature has proven highly attractive to the regulated market which is coming under increased pressure from regulators in Europe and beyond.

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.

ProgressPlay CEO Itai Loewenstein said: “Marina and I look forward to mixing with our growing casino cluster, other industry leaders, nurturing meaningful new connections, and getting immersed in all the insightful discussions a big show like this generates. Of course, we will be there showcasing our cutting-edge products within an event that looks to set new standards and drive the igaming sector forward.”

Xpoint rolls out pattern-analysis engine to flag coordinated bonus abuse

Xpoint has launched a proprietary pattern-analysis engine aimed at helping betting and gaming operators detect coordinated fraud, including organized bonus abuse and location spoofing. The company announced the product on 6th July 2026 and said it is currently rolling out with partners in North America.

Xpoint said the engine is designed to catch groups that cycle the same devices, accounts, and locations to farm sign-up bonuses and exploit promotions. Unlike conventional geolocation checks that assess each login in isolation, the new engine analyzes historical location activity to identify patterns that emerge over time.

As an example, Xpoint said the engine can flag groups of users that repeatedly appear together across locations, particularly where some members have previously been linked to location spoofing—signals the company associates with coordinated bonus-abuse rings. Xpoint added that the analysis runs in the background against historical data and is intended to avoid adding friction to the player journey.

The launch follows a new investment round earlier this year, which Xpoint said was dedicated to accelerating growth and supporting further product enhancement.

Manu Gambhir, CEO of Xpoint, said: “Attempts to defraud operators are becoming ever more coordinated and advanced, so operators need the best possible tools to spot areas of concern early.

“Our pattern-analysis engine examines historical data to uncover unusual patterns an operator needs to be aware of, without in any way adding friction to the player journey. It further underlines our commitment to innovative, adaptable compliance solutions for operators.”

Midnite has renewed its partnership with Southampton FC for the 2026/27 season, continuing as the club’s Official Training Kit partner and back-of-shirt sponsor.

The company said the extension builds on its first season with the club in 2025/26, when it ran supporter activations including “Midnite Express” away travel, a commemorative tifo marking the 50-year anniversary of Southampton’s FA Cup success, and hospitality giveaways via its “Ticket Treats” campaign.

For 2026/27, Midnite is introducing a season-long fan initiative called “2UP”. Under the format, if Southampton go two goals up in any home league match, one fan wins the 2UP prize pot. Midnite said the pot increases by £1,000 each week a jackpot is not won, and noted Southampton held a two-goal home lead on six occasions last season.

Greg Baker, Chief Revenue Officer of Southampton Football Club said:

“We’re delighted to continue our partnership with Midnite after a successful first season together.

“They’ve consistently looked for new and engaging ways to reward our supporters, whether through unique matchday experiences, away travel or fan competitions, and we’re excited to see that continue this season.

“The launch of 2UP is another fantastic example of that commitment and we look forward to seeing Saints fans enjoying the campaign throughout the 2026/27 season.”

Andrew Mook, Midnite‘s Head of Brand Marketing, added:

“We’re excited to be Southampton’s Official Training Kit partner for a second year.

“During the 2025/26 campaign, Midnite worked closely with the club to create experiences that reward Saints supporters. From helping fans travel in style on the Midnite Express and commissioning the club’s commemorative FA Cup tifo, to providing hospitality experiences through Ticket Treats, our aim has always been to add something extra for Saints fans.

“With that said, we are pleased to introduce ‘2UP’ where one lucky fan will win prize money if Southampton take a two-goal lead in any home league fixture, with £1,000 being added to the pot after each game at St Mary’s.

“With Southampton taking a two-goal lead at home six times last season, we’re looking forward to seeing a number of Saints fans rewarded through ‘2UP’ during the campaign.”
