Relog Media & Roobet Announce ‘Roobet Cup 2023’ – $250K CS:GO Tournament, Returning for a Second Year Oct. 25-Nov. 2
Relog Media, one of Europe’s top esports tournament organizers, and Roobet, the pioneering entertainment brand and one of the world’s fastest-growing crypto casinos, have partnered to bring another exciting CS:GO event – Roobet Cup 2023 from Oct. 25-Nov. 2, running back one of last year’s biggest tournaments in the sport, with another S-Tier $250,000 prize pool event.
Featuring 16 of the top CS:GO teams in the world, including Ninjas in Pyjamas, FURIA, Astralis, 2022 Roobet Cup Champions BIG, and more to be announced, the tournament will run on 16 teams in four groups with the top 2 teams from each group advancing to the playoffs. Playoffs will be a single elimination bracket, with the winner taking the hefty portion of the $250,000 prize pool.
“Roobet invests in players at every level, from pro teams to casual, because we want to give everyone the opportunity to have successful careers doing what they love,” said Anthony Brennan, Roobet Co-Founder and Head of Partnerships. “Roobet met playing games, and we get excited every time we find a new way to give back to the online community.”
The first Roobet Cup, which took place in June of 2022, featured top CS:GO teams from around the world including BIG (1st Place), FaZe Clan (2nd Place), Cloud9, 9z, Imperial Esports, Eternal Fire and more competing for the $250,000 prize pool. The tournament clocked over 1 Million unique global viewers with a combined 94 Million minutes watched.
As part of their ongoing support of the CS:GO community, in August Roobet also announced Roobet Arena, where amateur gamers compete in CS:GO tournaments for cash prizes, with over $10,000 given away monthly. Roobet also creates custom Roobet maps that are released to the community CS:GO workshop every month.

GoldenRace launches V5 mobile solution with unified app and WebGL branding
GoldenRace has launched its next-generation V5 mobile solution, the supplier announced on 1 July 2026 in Malta. The company positions the release as a mobile delivery upgrade for its virtual sports and betting content, aimed at maintaining performance under high player traffic.
According to GoldenRace, V5 consolidates its previous architecture into a single application and “drastically reduces load sizes by 80–90%.” The company also said the platform is built “completely from the ground up” with a unified UI/UX designed to remain responsive across different network conditions.
On product features, GoldenRace said V5 introduces “advanced WebGL capabilities” to support high-fidelity graphics and operator-controlled branding. It also adds native gamification tools across games, including custom Tournaments, Leaderboards and Free Bets.
The company also outlined three mobile upgrades intended to reduce friction in the betting flow: a Lobby with modular layouts and a one-click toggle between scheduled and instant views; a next-generation Betslip with richer visual components and “smart organisation”; and dynamic Leaderboards with configurable funding and custom point logic.
GoldenRace said operators can switch to V5 by “changing a single line of code,” and added that a demo is available for operators evaluating the new mobile solution.

PopOK Gaming secures certification for Portugal iGaming market
PopOK Gaming has obtained certification for the Portuguese iGaming market, adding Portugal to its list of regulated jurisdictions where it can offer compliant gaming content to licensed operators.
The company said the certification confirms it meets local regulatory and technical requirements and supports its strategy to expand in regulated markets.
PopOK Gaming did not disclose which regulator or test lab issued the certification, which products are covered, or the date the approval was granted.
Portugal continues to operate a ring-fenced regulated online gambling framework, with market access dependent on product approvals and operator licensing. For suppliers, local certification is typically a prerequisite to distribute content to licensed brands.

API
St8 adds game round replays to its single API platform
Replay tool builds on St8’s graphical game round details and launches first with nine casino game studios.
St8 has launched game round replays, adding visual playback of completed casino game rounds to its existing single API platform. The company said the feature is designed to help operators verify outcomes faster and resolve player queries more efficiently.
The new capability builds on St8’s graphical game round details, which it said is already used by operators. With replays, support and operations teams can access a round’s visual playback to investigate gameplay disputes and respond to players with more transparency.
St8 also positioned the feature as a player engagement tool, with operators able to surface notable moments such as big wins and bonus rounds for promotional use.
Game round replays will initially support titles from AvatarUX, BGaming, Endorphina, Hacksaw, Peter & Sons, Pragmatic Play, Scatter Kings, Shady Lady, and Tequity Originals, with more providers to be added. St8 said the feature is delivered through its existing single API integration and requires no additional development work, and is intended to scale across multiple brands and regulated markets.
David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said: “Operators are under increasing pressure to deliver exceptional customer support while keeping operational costs under control. Our graphical game round details have become a trusted and widely used tool for operators, giving support teams quick access to the information they need to resolve player queries efficiently. Game round replays complement this capability by providing a visual playback of each round, helping teams resolve cases even faster and with complete confidence.
“Beyond operational efficiency, the feature also opens up new opportunities for engagement. Operators can showcase exciting gameplay moments, celebrate big wins and create richer player experiences – all through the same integration. Because game round replays are delivered through our existing single API, partners can access this functionality immediately while continuing to benefit from the simplicity and scalability that sit at the heart of the St8 platform.”
