ACR Poker players can join one of four $8.60 buy-in multi-table tournaments (MTTs) on June 8th, 9th, 15th and 16th (all at 3pm ET) for a chance to win. The top two winners from each MTT will advance to a final 8-handed Sit & Go on Monday, June 17th at 3pm ET.

“This is a great opportunity for poker players to step up their game and experience the thrill of playing in Las Vegas,” said Moneymaker. “I’m looking forward to welcoming the winners to Sin City and giving them a glimpse into life as an ACR Pro. I’m also excited to see who has what it takes to beat me in a heads-up battle!”

GoldenRace, Spinmatic and Playlogiq celebrate successful 5-year partnership
GoldenRace, global leader in Virtual Sports and betting solutions, and Spinmatic, innovative developer of premium casino games, are celebrating 5 years of successful partnership with Playlogiq, one of their most enduring collaborations.
Since January 7th, 2021, GoldenRace and Spinmatic have been working hand-in-hand with the Playlogiq team to deliver top-tier gaming experiences across the globe. It has been more than five years of shared goals, technical synergy and—most importantly—unbeatable results.
This partnership has been a primary engine for growth within the African continent. By leveraging Playlogiq’s robust platform and GoldenRace and Spinmatic industry-leading content, they have successfully provided operators with a competitive edge that resonates with local players.
While the agreement reach is broad, the companies have seen exceptional success in East Africa, where the appetite for high-quality, fast-paced betting content continues to skyrocket. By focusing on online and mobile offerings, they have tapped into the heart of the modern African betting market, where accessibility and performance are the keys to high traffic volumes.
“Our collaboration with Playlogiq has always been about more than just a business transaction; it is a very strong and productive relationship between two companies that share a drive for excellence. By offering our full suite of verticals, Playlogiq has proven to be a vital partner in our mission to dominate key markets in Africa.”
Martin Wachter, GoldenRace CEO and Founder.
One of the hallmarks of this relationship is Playlogiq’s commitment to innovation, as they’re always among the first to integrate and deploy GoldenRace and Spinatic latest releases, ensuring their operators have access to a diverse and thrilling portfolio.
“Working with GoldenRace and Spinmatic since 2021 has allowed us to consistently provide our operators with the most engaging content on the market. The traffic we see, particularly through mobile and online channels, is a testament to the quality of the games. We’ve seen Spinmatic become our most successful product line by far, with the Sizzling Blaze series generating incredible engagement across the board.”
Baha Yahya, CEO of Playlogiq.
The Spinmatic product line has emerged as the undisputed champion of this partnership. It is, by a significant margin, the most successful product line provided to Playlogiq.
While Spinmatic slots are currently leading the charge, GoldenRace Virtual Sports remain a staple of the Playlogiq offering. They provide a consistent, reliable revenue stream and are particularly beloved by sports betting enthusiasts.
What makes this partnership truly special isn’t just the GGR or the traffic stats—it’s the very strong relationship between the companies, which speak the same language when it comes to quality and share a common vision for the future of igaming.
