Swintt sets to go live on Premier Gaming network
In-demand software provider ramps up expansion plans for 2024 with a new partnership that will see Swintt’s portfolio widely available at Premier Gaming sites
Swintt, the well-known software provider behind the celebrated Seven Seven and Xtra series of games, has announced it has agreed to a new deal with Premier Gaming that will see its full catalogue of titles become available to operators on the network.
Premier Gaming is the company behind some of Europe’s fastest-growing online casino brands and currently powers a number of big-name platforms including Pronto Casino and Slothino. Specialising in slots and live casino games, the brand is committed to offering users ‘the ultimate online gaming experience’ and has now doubled down on that promise by adding Swintt titles to its portfolio.
With SwinttSelect and SwinttPremium releases to be introduced to customers in MGA and SGA markets, players will be able to enjoy a rich and varied line-up of content that features state-of-the-art titles and slots that take their inspiration from land-based casino games.
In the former category, the SwinttSelect catalogue includes a number of uniquely themed releases that come with signature mechanics and bonus features that players won’t find from any other provider, as well as soon-to-be available titles from Elysium Studios. Of particular interest to Premier Gaming players will be Aloha Spirit XtraLock™, which – with its Tiki free spins and a max win of 200,500 x bet – still ranks as the studio’s most successful release to date.
The SwinttPremium collection, meanwhile, seeks to recreate the thrill of a land-based slot machine online by combining straightforward features and gameplay with iconic graphics and sound. Popular with more traditional casino players, one of the undisputed highlights of the Premium range coming to Premier Gaming will be Seven Seven Pots and Pearls, which includes its own lucrative free spin feature.
With these two great games and more set to make their debut on the Premier Gaming network, the new collaboration looks set to be a win-win for both parties – with Swintt able to increase its online presence in the MGA and SGA markets while brands like Pronto Casino and Slothino continue their rapid recent growth by adding even more top titles to their extensive portfolios of casino games.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “While everyone at Swintt is very proud of the growth we achieved in 2023, going into the New Year we recognised it was important we didn’t rest on our laurels and we continued to expand through partnerships with the biggest brands in the business. “As the company behind some of Europe’s fastest-growing online casino platforms, our new collaboration with Premier Gaming will certainly help us achieve that goal by introducing our titles to players in both the MGA and SGA markets through trusted operators like Pronto Casino and Slothino.”
Mark Zammit Perici, Chief Marketing Officer at Premier Gaming, said: “With the Premier Gaming network already powering some of the best-loved online casino brands in Europe, we know that partnering with top software providers like Swintt is crucial to making our offering even more appealing to players. “Boasting both innovative SwinttSelect with cutting-edge features and traditional SwinttPremium titles with classic graphics and sounds, the provider offers something for everyone and we’re sure their games will prove to be a popular addition to our network as we look to strengthen our line-up in 2024.”

GamCare releases Annual Report following record breaking year of support on the National Gambling Helpline
GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline received a record 55,228 calls and online chats from people experiencing gambling harm in 2023-24 – a 25% increase from the previous year – according to the charity’s Annual Report.
In a year marked by uncertainty over the future shape and structure of the gambling harms treatment sector following the previous government’s white paper on gambling reform, the charity continued to prioritise those at-risk of, or currently experiencing, gambling harm.
Of all calls and online chats that were responded to on GamCare’s Helpline in 2023/24, 41,070 (74%) were classed as supportive interventions. This includes supporting people with initial guidance and advice as well as delivering a seamless entry point into structured treatment services, with individuals completing treatment reporting a significant reduction in gambling-related distress and financial harm.
In March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities published an assessment of the gambling treatment system, highlighting that 57% of individuals engaging in treatment were referred by the National Gambling Helpline. This underscores the Helpline’s critical role in connecting people to the support they need. Over 9,100 free treatment sessions were delivered in the year to April 2024, with an average of just 2.1 days’ wait from point of referral.
GamCare’s targeted programmes aimed at young people, women, and the criminal justice system provided training on how to spot the signs of harms and where to signpost into support for 10,344 professionals, and education for 53,324 young people, children and parents. The Women’s Programme, in partnership with organisations such as Refuge, trained 3,813 professionals to recognise and address gambling-related harm among women.
Margot Daly, Executive Chair of GamCare’s Board, says: “Throughout a challenging year and with heightened demand for our services, GamCare’s staff have got on with the job of preventing harm where possible and treating harm where necessary. While we expect important changes in the gambling harms landscape, we have been determined not to let this uncertainty affect our relentless focus on the people who really matter – those at-risk of or currently experiencing gambling harms.
“I would like to thank and pay tribute to our frontline staff who provide 24/7 support for all those at risk or in distress. I also want to thank GamCare’s senior executive team who have steered GamCare through a period of sustained change, and to my fellow trustees for their guidance, unwavering support and the time each has dedicated to ensuring that the charity stays on course and on mission.
“As we look ahead to how the future of the gambling harms sector is shaped, we are committed to working proactively with the NHS and other partners and commissioners to ensure that people are continually able to receive the right support at the right time.”
