Company behind award-winning social live streaming platform inks major distribution deal with leading platform and content provider

Livespins, part of the Evolution Gaming Group, has partnered with BetConstruct in a deal that will see its award-winning social live-streaming product launch to the platform and content provider’s operator partners.

Livespins delivers an electrifying player experience. Not only can players tune in to watch their favourite streamers, celebrities and brand ambassadors fire up the reels on chart-topping slots from top-flight studios, but they can also get directly involved by betting behind the streamer.

If the streamer wins, they win. This ultimately creates a group bet and a shared player experience with fun guaranteed whether the spin wins or not. It also offers unprecedented social interaction – players can chat with the streamer and each other throughout, and also drop reactions, emojis and gifs.

Livespins provides a new way for operators to access online casino content and deliver it to their players, with the platform being crowned winner of the Innovation in Slot Provision Award at the EGR B2B Awards 2023.

It really is a pioneering product, allowing operators to leverage the huge demand for casino and slot streaming in a way that is compliant. Because Livespins sits within the casino lobby, players are offered all of the safe gaming tools required under the operator’s local and international licences.

For BetConstruct, the partnership further strengthens its position as a leading platform and content provider to some of the biggest operators in the business.

Michael Pedersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Livespins, said: “BetConstruct is a major player in the platform and content space, and we are thrilled to be making Livespins available to its operator partners for the first time.

“The demand for slot streaming is at an all-time high already but is only set to rise in the coming months and years. Livespins provides a way for operators in markets across the world to tap into this while being fully compliant with local and international regulations and requirements.

“This is another important deal for us as we continue to build momentum behind the Livespins revolution.”

Ruzanna Elchyan, Head of Gaming at BetConstruct, added: “We go to great lengths to remain at the cutting edge of the industry and this partnership with Livespins allows us to bring a truly pioneering product and player experience to our operator partners.

“Streaming has a place in this industry and its popularity among players will only become stronger. Of course, with Livespins, players not only get to watch the best streamers in the world spin up blockbuster games, they can get directly involved in the action, too.”

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.

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

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.
