Swintt expands global distribution through Kindred Group partnership
Innovative software developer teams up with leading online gaming brand to distribute some of the SwinttGames and SwinttPremium titles on MGA, SGA, KSA and later UKGC-licensed platforms
With a large number of new distribution deals added in Q2 2023, sought-after software provider, Swintt, has shown it has no intention of slowing down this month by partnering with Kindred Group to supply its games on the brand’s MGA, SGA, KSA and later UKGC-licensed platforms.
As a result of the company’s latest collaboration, a range of SwinttGames and SwinttPremium releases will be accessible to Kindred Group customers in Malta, Sweden and the Netherlands, with the United Kingdom to follow, thereby increasing the brand’s outreach in a number of key regulated iGaming markets.
With a player base of more than 1.5 million active customer] , Kindred Group – which counts Unibet, Maria Casino and 32Red among its best-known brands – is one of Europe’s leading iGaming operators and is also committed to responsible gambling and reducing the revenue derived from high-risk gamblers to zero.
As such, the group is the ideal partner for Swintt, who also share the same ideals of sustainable gambling and giving something back to the wider community – the latter of which was demonstrated by the company donating a portion of the revenue generated by its popular The Crown slot to charity.
While the two companies being ideologically aligned certainly makes for a match made in heaven, the good news from a player’s perspective is that the library of games hosted on Kindred Group platforms are now significantly bolstered by the presence of exciting titles from the Swintt line-up.
These include popular release from the SwinttGames range – a pioneering collection of games that boast engaging themes and innovative bonus features – such as the aforementioned The Crown, the incredibly successful Aloha Spirit XtraLockTM, Candy Gold and the recently launched hit, Electric Elements.
If classic slots that feature the aesthetics and gameplay of traditional land-based casino titles are more to players liking, however, they’ll also have their pick of titles from the SwinttPremium catalogue, with these including popular “Book” slots, Master of Books Unlimited and Seven Books Unlimited, as well as the recently-released Duolito Gardens. These Premium titles are very popular in the land-based gaming halls in the Netherlands, and this deal allows the Dutch players to play their favourite slots online.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “We’re excited to be teaming up with an operator with the player base and industry standing of Kindred Group and are looking forward to having the opportunity to showcase our titles on all of the brand’s MGA, SGA, KSA and soon UKGC-licensed platforms.
“By making SwinttGames and SwinttPremium releases available to such a wide cross-section of customers, we’ll be able to further raise the profile of our brand across Europe while helping Kindred Group on its ongoing mission to deliver a safe and enjoyable online experience to all casino players.”
Gareth Jennings, Head of RNG Casino at Kindred Group, said: “At Kindred Group, we always try to collaborate with software providers that share our vision and ideas for the online gambling industry while also providing a secure, first-class gambling experience to customers across our full range of platforms.
“In Swintt, we believe we’ve teamed up with a company that delivers on both of these fronts and we’re really looking forward to adding their innovative range of titles to our Malta, Sweden, UK and Netherlands-facing brands to give players an even”
Former WBC cruiserweight champion to appear at PartyPoker Tour UK stops and take part in online activations.
PartyPoker has appointed former WBC Cruiserweight World Champion Tony Bellew as a brand ambassador for the remainder of 2026, with appearances tied to the operator’s live PartyPoker Tour and online poker offering.
The company said Bellew will be “a regular face” at its remaining UK tour stops this season following an earlier appearance at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. Bellew will also take part in online activity linked to the PartyPoker schedule.
“I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me,” Bellew said.
PartyPoker said Bellew is scheduled to attend each remaining UK stop on the 2026 PartyPoker Tour: London in July, Glasgow in August, Cork in November, and London in December. The operator also referenced a series of exclusive online events running alongside the live calendar.

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.
The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.
In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.
“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”
The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.
For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.
The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.

A former WBC Cruiserweight World Champion and one of Britain’s most recognisable sporting personalities, Bellew will play an active role across both PartyPoker’s live tour and online offering throughout the rest of the year.
Speaking about joining the team, Tony Bellew said: “I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me.”
His return follows a hugely successful appearance at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham earlier this year, where he embraced the atmosphere, spent time with players and immersed himself in the event. After thoroughly enjoying the experience, Bellew will now become a regular face at the remaining UK stops on the PartyPoker Tour throughout the rest of the 2026 season.
As part of his ambassadorial role, Bellew will attend every remaining UK stop PartyPoker Tour in 2026:
