Leading iGaming and sportsbook platform Bets.io have today announced a strategic content collaboration deal with leading MMA promotion, The Professional Fighters League (PFL) and its partnership for “Road to PFL Africa”.
Under the groundbreaking partnership, Bets.io and the PFL will work closely together to create engaging and informative content for MMA and betting fans around the globe, tailored to the “Road to PFL Africa” documentary series.
Earlier this year, PFL announced plans to launch PFL Africa, giving African fighters the opportunity to compete on a global platform.
As part of the deal, Bets.io will also become a trusted betting partner of the PFL and will provide fans with exclusive behind the scenes custom and original content of PFL’s journey towards the launch of PFL Africa, which will be distributed across the PFL and Bets.io owned social and digital channels. In addition, Bets.io will receive access to PFL fighters and PFL spokespeople. In return, PFL will promote Bets.io across its owned channels and give the brand a presence at future events that take place on the African continent.
Peter Murray, the CEO of PFL said “The PFL is excited to announce its groundbreaking strategic partnership with Bets.io. When it comes to online cryptocurrency gameplay, you need a winner’s mindset and Bets.io has just that. I’m thrilled to be working with them.”
He added: “Road to PFL Africa, through the lens of Bets.io, will give MMA fans around the globe an intimate look at the story behind PFL Africa. This partnership will help us engage with a wider audience and provide valuable insights as we progress towards the realization of PFL Africa.”
Upon the announcement of the deal Dmitrii Khasanov, Strategic Business Development Partner at Bets.io, said “All of us at Bets.io are massive fans of Mixed Martial Arts. It’s one of the fastest growing sports in the world and we’re excited to be partnering with one of the dominant brands in the sport. The PFL embodies the same principles we stand by at Bets.io – dedication, strength and the belief that anything is possible.
“Our platform is built for thrill seeking players who love to bet online, and we’re excited to see what this partnership unlocks for PFL fans and Bets.io players both now and in the future.”

Spinmatic launches Elemental Fusion Deluxe with instant Plinko bonus triggers
Spinmatic has launched Elemental Fusion Deluxe, a new slot built around instant access to its Plinko mechanic from the base game, the supplier said. The title was announced on 9 June 2026 from Malta.
Elemental Fusion Deluxe runs on a 5×3 layout with 25 fixed paylines. Spinmatic lists the game as medium-high volatility with a 96.04% RTP and 39.49% hit frequency.
The game’s feature set includes Gold Wilds, which can appear on any reel and substitute for standard symbols (excluding the Special Plinko Symbol and the Special Element Elixir Symbols). Spinmatic also says base gameplay uses “Instant Elixir Multipliers” linked to Fire, Earth, Water, Air, and Galaxy symbols.
Instead of an accumulator-style collection mechanic, the Plinko Feature Trigger activates when three dedicated trigger symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5, launching a random Plinko bonus. Spinmatic says the Plinko bonus is split into four elemental modes after a selection wheel sets a starting pool of 10 to 100 balls: Water Plinko (low volatility, Mini Jackpot), Air Plinko (medium volatility, Midi Jackpot), Earth Plinko (high volatility, Maxi Jackpot), and Fire Plinko (very high volatility, Grand Jackpot), played on a 16-row pyramid.
The company framed the release around reducing time-to-feature: “In a market where a split-second delay can lose a player, the quality of your content delivery determines your bottom line.”

. The games were announced June 9, 2026 and are powered by the company’s Hybrid Dealer® format and its Cash Bank

Groove confirms SBC Summit Americas 2026 attendance in Fort Lauderdale
Groove will attend SBC Summit Americas 2026, taking place June 9–11 at the Broward County Convention Centre in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company said its leadership team will be on site, including Co-Founder and CEO Yahale Meltzer and Business Development Director Giusy Campo, to meet operators, regulators, and affiliates.
The appearance follows Groove’s participation at SiGMA Asia in Manila, where the company said it joined a panel on regulatory resilience in the “Jurisdiction Jungle”. In Fort Lauderdale, Groove plans to continue discussions focused on navigating fragmented regulatory environments across North and Latin America.
Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove, said: “When we move into a new region, we don’t arrive empty-handed. We come with a platform built on structural resilience: predictive auto-scaling, atomic transactions, and a real-time compliance mesh that adapts to jurisdictional demands, not the other way around. Operators in the Americas face many of the same pressures as their counterparts in Asia: banking scrutiny, shifting regulations, and the need for flawless execution. Our ‘Unseen Architecture’ was built for exactly this moment.” She added: “They need a partner whose platform won’t introduce compliance or operational risk into their business. That’s what we deliver. From Manila to Miami, the questions are the same. And we have the answers.”
Groove said it enters the event after what it described as a “transformative 2025,” including securing a license to operate in Brazil and establishing regulated activity in Argentina, alongside expansion across Europe, Africa, and Asia. The company also said it offers “over 15,000 games from more than 150 providers unified through a single API.”
Meltzer said: “We don’t do ‘one-off’ events. We build continuous relationships across the markets that matter. Asia was about demonstrating structural resilience in the face of fragmentation. The Americas require the same rigour: a platform that can scale from a single operator in Argentina to a national lottery in Brazil without breaking compliance or trust. Our nomination in Manila wasn’t an endpoint. It was a signal. Now we take that signal to Fort Lauderdale, where the real work begins.” He also pointed to Groove’s offices in Israel, Georgia, and Malta, and its 24/7 multilingual support team as part of its operating model.
