New studio continues commercial momentum with another major integration across regulated markets

Pioneering slots studio Big Daddy Gaming® has signed a new content distribution agreement with leading aggregation platform Hub88, further strengthening its early commercial rollout across key regulated European markets.

The partnership will see Hub88 integrate Big Daddy Gaming’s growing portfolio of slot titles via its Casino API Integration Service, providing the newly launched studio with immediate access to a broad network of licensed operators.

As part of the agreement, Hub88 will onboard an initial batch of Big Daddy Gaming’s debut releases, showcasing the provider’s signature game DNA combined with its brand promise of Reel Fun Real Value, delivering operators fresh content aligned with local player preferences.

The integration follows Big Daddy Gaming’s recent approval as a licensed B2B supplier in Sweden, further reinforcing its commitment to regulated markets and supporting partners with compliant, market-ready content.

Marking another milestone in Big Daddy Gaming’s commercial trajectory, the partnership underscores the strong appeal of its early content offering.

With Hub88’s strong footprint across Europe, the deal reinforces the studio’s initial growth as Big Daddy Gaming continues to secure early support from major operators.

Erland Hellström, CEO at Big Daddy Gaming®, said: “Partnering with Hub88 is another strong endorsement of our strategy and the quality of our early content. Their platform plays a key role in connecting studios with major operators across Europe, and we’re delighted to offer our titles to their network.

“This agreement helps accelerate our presence in regulated markets and gives partners immediate access to games built on our Reel Fun Real Value philosophy.”

Ollie Castleman, Managing Director at Hub88, added: “Big Daddy Gaming® is one of the most exciting new studios to emerge this year, and we’ve been impressed by the clarity of their vision and the strength of their early portfolio. We’re thrilled to be among the first platforms to distribute their content and expect their distinctive style and solid mechanics to resonate well with operators and players across our network.”

Big Daddy Gaming®, the high-profile newcomer to the slots industry, has finalized a major commercial agreement with ComeOn Group. This partnership marks a significant milestone for the studio, which was founded by a trio of industry heavyweights from Relax Gaming and Evolution.

The deal will see Big Daddy Gaming’s debut portfolio integrated across ComeOn Group’s international brand stable, with a specific focus on high-traffic Swedish brands like Snabbare and Hajper.

Reel Fun. Real Value: The Studio’s DNA

Launched in late 2025, Big Daddy Gaming® entered the market with a mission to disrupt what its founders describe as an “oversaturated and stagnant” supply chain. The studio’s philosophy, Reel Fun. Real Value., aims to combine humorous, high-quality creative content with a commercial model that prioritizes long-term operator profitability.

Leadership & Strategic Backing

The studio’s rapid ascent is fueled by the combined experience of its founding team:

Erland Hellstrom (CEO): A former commercial executive at Evolution, known for managing tier-one operator relationships during periods of hypergrowth.
Simon Hammon (Co-Founder): Former CEO of Relax Gaming and a key figure in the early success of NetEnt.
Daniel Eskola (Co-Founder): Former Chief Product Officer at Relax Gaming and product leader at Kindred.

The venture is further supported by capital from Castech, a gaming-focused investment fund, ensuring the studio has the financial runway to scale its technical infrastructure.

Sweden: The First Major Regulated Milestone

The partnership with ComeOn Group aligns perfectly with Big Daddy Gaming’s recent regulatory success. On November 11, 2025, the studio secured its B2B supplier license from the Swedish Gambling Authority (Spelinspektionen).

“Securing the SGA licence is a major validation of our compliance standards and technical readiness,” said Erland Hellstrom, CEO at Big Daddy Gaming®. “Sweden is an essential market in our growth strategy and securing this approval allows us to immediately begin servicing our operator partners here.”
