FunFair Games rocket-launches multiplayer debut AstroBoomers: To the Moon! in Betsson Group exclusive
FunFair Games has unveiled its first exhilarating real-money multiplayer title, AstroBoomers: To the Moon! with tier one operator Betsson Group agreeing an exclusive deal to take the innovative game across key brands until its network wide release in early May.
With planet earth under siege from blazing intergalactic meteors, this first-of-its kind release invites communities of like-minded players to escape to the moon in a rip-roaring rocket, with astronomical prizes of up to 2,500x won by those who jump to safety at the right time.
Gamers can challenge their fellow astronauts’ nerves by staying onboard for as long as possible to claim maximum rewards, placing up to three bets per round for galactic wins, or strategically selecting the auto-eject options.
The groundbreaking release exemplifies the community-driven, multiplayer experiences which FunFair Games is pioneering and introducing to the casino sector, bringing social, active and simple gameplay to the real money gaming space.
FunFair Games’ second multiplayer title, Wheel Of Steal, launches in June 2021 and will further challenge the status quo, bringing the thrill of community driven live casino games into the non live environment.
AstroBoomers: To the Moon! will launch exclusively with the renowned global operator Betsson Group from April 26th, before making its hotly anticipated network-wide debut on May 11th.
Lloyd Purser, COO of FunFair Games, said: “We’re delighted to announce the lift-off of our exciting debut title, AstroBoomers: To the Moon!, which we think will be the undisputed king of crash games.
“The simple yet compelling gameplay offers the kind of active and community-based experience demanded by a new generation of players and putting a fresh spin on the content available within today’s largely solitary slots sector.
“Slots will always have their place, but the move to multiplayer within real-money gaming has arrived quicker than many anticipated and there is a big demand for innovative and differentiated content that appeals to Gen Y audiences. Its growth has arisen through a new generation who are constantly connected, enjoy simple, social concepts they can share and who we believe will take this form of gaming to a global scale.
“It’s fantastic to see our release launch exclusively with such a well-known operator as Betsson Group, and we’re sure it will prove popular with its extensive player base as we build up to the title’s eagerly awaited network launch!”
Paul Malt at Betsson Group said: “We’re thrilled with the opportunity to exclusively introduce AstroBoomers: To the Moon! to our customers, and feel confident that it will be enthusiastically received across our player base.
“FunFair Games is a highly innovative content developer and is pioneering the introduction of real-money multiplayer games in our sector. We look forward to working with our new partner in what will undoubtedly be a commercial relationship of strong mutual benefit.”

Salford customer triumphs at Genting Casino £20k Spin Leaderboard Challenge final
The multi-stage competition, launched by premium Live Casino Genting Casino in October, invited online players across the UK to compete for leaderboard points by playing selected games, earn free spins and secure a place in a VIP live finale at Resorts World Birmingham.
The top five online qualifiers headed for a VIP weekend, including travel costs and a stay, culminating in a high-stakes live roulette tournament where one final spin decided the champion. The overall winner walked away with the £20,000 Grand Prize Spin, a life-changing moment for the tournament victor.
Genting Casino has Live Roulette streamed from Genting UK casinos, Palm Beach, Resorts World Birmingham and Genting Manchester and this competition brought together its digital and on-floor experiences, with customers transitioning from a digital competition to being invited and competing in a live casino format.
Speaking after the event, the winner, Karthik, who had never competed in a live casino tournament before, said: “No way! I never expected this at all. It came completely out of the blue. Suddenly, I got a call saying I was selected for the tournament.”
Despite the tension of the final spin, the winner revealed their approach: “I went purely with instinct. I don’t have a favourite colour. It was just a feeling in that moment. Looking at the board, there had been a lot of red, and it gave me the feeling to go with red.”
The winner described the experience as both exhilarating and rewarding: “Yes, absolutely. It wasn’t just about fun. It was also about how engaging everything was, the people, the organisation and the entire experience.”
The £20k Spin Leaderboard Challenge ran until 17 November 2025, granting players free spins and leaderboard points for qualifying deposits and gameplay. The top five qualifiers were invited to Resorts World Birmingham to compete in an exciting filmed live roulette bracket-style tournament, with the final spin determining who would take home the grand prize.
Mike Vella, Brand Marketing Project Manager at Genting Casino, said: “We couldn’t be happier with how the £20k Spin Leaderboard Challenge played out.
“The energy and enthusiasm from all our players, both online and at Resorts World Birmingham, exceeded our expectations.
“Seeing the leaderboard finalists come together for the live roulette showdown was fantastic, and we’re genuinely delighted for the winner. It’s a brilliant moment for them and a great example of how rewarding these experiences can be.
“For the winner, this isn’t just a prize, it’s a moment they’ll remember forever. Seeing their reaction, the joy and disbelief at landing the Grand Prize Spin really highlights the human side of these competitions. It’s these moments of genuine surprise and triumph that remind us why we create these events.
“The team at Genting Casino and Resorts World Birmingham are immensely proud to have delivered such a seamless, exciting experience and we hope it inspires even more players to take part in future challenges.”
The success of this year’s leaderboard challenge highlights Genting Casino’s ongoing commitment to providing engaging experiences that bridge online excitement with unforgettable live moments on the casino floor.

Compliance Updates
Finland’s Gambling Reform Is Official – What Happens Next?
The wait is over: The Finnish Parliament has officially approved the new gambling legislation. In a decisive plenary session, MPs voted 158 in favor to 9 opposed, with 32 abstaining. The text remained unchanged from the version presented in previous weeks, solidifying the framework for Finland’s transition from a monopoly to a licensed market.
With the political uncertainty resolved, the focus now shifts to implementation. For operators, this means the race to compliance—and market entry—has effectively begun.
The Confirmed Timeline

With the legislation passed, the roadmap to the market opening is now set. Operators must use the coming months to prepare for a rigorous licensing process.
-
Early 2026: The application window is expected to open. The regulator will begin accepting and reviewing license applications.
-
2026 (Throughout): The “preparatory year.” This period is dedicated to vetting applicants, ensuring technical compliance, and establishing the new supervisory authority.
-
January 1, 2027: The regulated Finnish market officially opens. Licensed operators can go live with betting and online casino services.

Aligning requirements for technical standards and responsible gambling.

Guidance and completion of complex application forms.
