iGaming content provider BGaming has stepped up its support of local artists for its SiGMA Americas debut, building on its ongoing artistic collaboration project “When Art Meets Gaming” by making charitable donations for emerging creatives.

BGaming has teamed up with street art duo, Clandestinos Art, ahead of SiGMA Americas in Brazil next month. Having over 20 years of mural-creating experience, these two artists developed breathtaking interpretations of BGaming’s much-loved characters from Elvis Frog TRUEWAYS, Aztec Magic Bonanza, Scratch Alpaca, Book of Cats MEGAWAYS™, Penny Pelican and Jogo do Bicho. 

Visual storytellers Bruno Smoky and Shalak Attack, who make up the Clandestinos Art duo, bonded over their love of art and together developed a mural style that unifies both reality and the imaginary. This award-winning couple has gained international recognition with their unique artistic approach, techniques, and distinct subject matter.

Illustrations of BGaming’s game characters by Clandestinos Art will be integrated into a limited merch collection, branded gifts, and BGaming’s stand, which can be visited at SiGMA Americas in São Paulo from April 23rd to 25th.

As well as financially supporting Clandestinos Art, BGaming will make a donation of €10,000 to the A7MA Institute in Sao Paulo, which promotes street art in Brazil and supports young artists from the outskirts of the city. The game provider will also sponsor an activity to inspire children to enjoy art – they will paint murals together with art educators from A7MA Institute on the facades of their houses.

This latest partnership reaffirms BGaming’s ongoing commitment to supporting local talent, as it steps up its contributions by making a sizable donation to creative causes in Brazil.

Kate Puteiko, Chief Marketing Officer at BGaming, said: “We are so pleased to work with Clandestinos Art for this vibrant new take on our most iconic characters, to be showcased at SiGMA Americas next month.

“Our artistic collaborations at key industry events have become a highlight for many attendees. This time, we are also pleased to donate to art charities in Brazil, as well as continuing to support our collaborators as always financially.”

Clandestinos Art said: “We are usually painting large murals on the streets, and this is how most people know our work, but it was a pleasure to collaborate with BGaming and create these game characters through digital illustration!

“For us, it was a great opportunity to dive into this medium and keep true to our artistic styles. Each of us should have created three unique pieces and then united them all on the final collage piece. This is the essence of how we work as Clandestinos Art, bringing the best of both of our styles and melting them together! Wishing the BGaming team all the luck in Brazil, we will be there in colors and hearts.”

From April 12 to April 28, 2026, the special edition will feature two marquee events running simultaneously — an $8 million GTD No‑Limit Hold’em (NLH) and a $2 million GTD Pot‑Limit Omaha (PLO) tournament — promising some of the most thrilling online poker action of the year.

Players buy in for $2,650 and compete for massive mystery bounties, with the NLH event offering up to $500,000 for a single knockout and the PLO event featuring a top bounty of $200,000. Every knockout on Day 2 guarantees at least $5,000 in bounty rewards.

With five Day 1 flights, participants can enter multiple times and build competitive stacks for Day 2’s showdown. Qualifiers begin April 7th through Venom Fever satellites, providing hundreds of seats — some even free — via Direct, Mega, or Beast satellite events.

BOS releases report on the prevalence of gambling addiction in Sweden

Published

bos-releases-report-on-the-prevalence-of-gambling-addiction-in-sweden

Sweden has seen a long‑term decline in gambling addiction over the past 25 years, despite rapid growth in online gambling availability, advertising, and mobile gaming.

Economist Ola Nevander’s research for the Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling (BOS) shows that the prevalence of problem gambling has steadily fallen since the early 2000s, even as the market expanded. This trend emerged even with the widespread adoption of digital gaming products and 24/7 access on smartphones.

According to the findings, the proportion of Swedes classified as problem gamblers (based on the Problem Gambling Severity Index) dropped from about 2.2 % in 2008–09 to around 1.3 % by 2021, marking a significant reduction in overall gambling harm.

Gustaf Hoffstedt, Secretary General of BOS, emphasizes that this decline suggests Sweden’s regulatory and industry efforts are moving in the right direction. While the transformation from traditional physical gambling venues to digital platforms has raised concerns, online tools such as responsible gaming technologies and AI‑assisted safeguards are helping reduce problem gambling rates.

However, Hoffstedt cautions that much work remains, because expanded game offerings and persistent advertising mean ongoing responsibility is crucial to maintain and deepen the downward trend.

Alongside the return of its popular High Five series, this special edition of the Dual Venoms will run from Sunday, April 12th through Tuesday, April 28th, delivering side-by-side action in the $8 million GTD NLH and $2 million GTD PLO, offering some of the biggest online poker action of the year.

Following the success of previous editions, the $2,650 buy-in Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms return with massive guarantees and mystery bounties that reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the $8 million GTD NLH, a single knockout could earn a player the top bounty prize of $500,000, while the $2 million PLO, which ties as ACR Poker’s biggest Omaha event ever, offers a $200,000 top bounty.

All players reaching Day 2 on Monday, April 27th at 1:05pm ET are already in the money, with the Final Table showdown for the coveted Venom crowns scheduled for Tuesday, April 28th at 4:05pm ET.

Qualifying begins Tuesday, April 7th through a packed Venom Fever satellite schedule, offering hundreds of guaranteed seats at low cost, or even for free, through Direct Satellites, Mega Satellites, and Beast Satellites.

“After the incredible turnout and massive payouts in March’s $50 Million OSS XL, Spring 2026 is shaping up to be epic with the return of our High Five Series and this special Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms edition,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker.  “With huge guarantees, mystery bounties, and accessible satellites for every bankroll, players have double the excitement and double the chance to hit massive prizes!”

The latest Dual Mystery Bounty Venoms delivered massive fields and payouts, with both events exceeding their guarantees.
