WorldMatch has released its new online slot, DiWINity. This new 5×3 slot reprises the theme of Greek opulence and unbridled luxury in which the gods would bask. There are 20 fixed winning lines. Reels are filled with letters in screaming colours, decorated with Hellenic designs. Players will see Zeus and his children appear, every one of them accompanied by elements that distinguish them: Artemis with the arch, Athena with the sparrow (ready for a fight), Apollo with the harp, Zeus with the thunder and Aphrodite in her shell.

Yggdrasil and YG Masters partner ReelPlay have released their latest Infinity Reels creation, Tiki Infinity Reels Megaways. Taking place in a south pacific island, the 3×3 grid adds an extra reel for every winning combination, while also triggering a respin. This sees reels expand continuously until wins are no longer possible, adding an increasing multiplier for every successful spin for huge wins. The Gold Tiki symbol acts as a Wild across the reels, while a Volcano symbol acts as a scatter, with it also paying anywhere, rather than the traditional left-right.

Lightning Box is set to delight players with Enchanted Waysfecta, a stunning new title that marks the debut of its exciting Waysfecta mechanic. Set in a magical forest and inspired by the Nutcracker Suite ballet, it features a host of colourful characters including a young woman, wise owl, key-carrying mouse and an evil stepmother.

Turning up the heat this summer is SPICY MEATBALLS, a sizzling hot new slot from Big Time Gaming that launches today exclusively with Unibet. From the groundbreaking team that brought you Who Wants to be a Donuts and Extra Chilli, BTG‘s latest food-themed offering promises that “every bonus adds an extra meatball“, which begs the question: how many meatballs can you handle?

Wazdan, is set for a brand-new claw-some Asian adventure in its latest hit Midnight in Tokyo. The supplier’s immaculate new game is a 5-reel, 243+ ways to win escapade combining a number of the developer’s most popular features in the latest instalment in its Hold the Jackpot series, with players being able to win up to 3,000x their stake. Two types of innovative Wild Splitters are present in the game, both of which increase the number of ways to win using Wazdan’s splitter mechanic.

Stakelogic, the pioneering online casino game developer, has debuted the latest title in its suite of popular classic slots, Joker Wild Blaster. The game has been developed in partnership with Hurricane Games, which was recently acquired by Stakelogic, and via the provider’s innovative Greenlogic® Program. As the name suggests, Joker Wild Blaster is all about landing Wilds to trigger big wins. Wild symbols can Expand and there is also a Wild Multiplier that can turn a big win into a mega win.

Green Jade Games is encouraging players to step into the ring and fight for big wins in the latest title in its innovative knockout series, Prizefighter K.O. The game uses a 6×4 reel matrix with 50 ways to win with every spin. Players are very much the favourite to emerge victorious and are helped through the bout with three bonus features. The one that packs the biggest punch is EverWin. This is active during Champion Mode Free Spins and sees the player receive their biggest win throughout the bonus applied to each Free Spin.

The newest game in Play’n GO’s portfolio, Hotel Yeti-Way, gets us in the mood for summer. The treacherous Himalaya trail is full of peril. Many unsuccessful adventurers have had no option but to turn back before reaching the top. After a Yeti comes across a discarded case of supplies and money, he decides to take a break from the icy mountains and head to a tropical paradise, we mean… Who wouldn’t? An already action-packed slot game, the use of the Dynamic Payways heightens the thrill further as it gives players more ways to win with every Free Spin.

Push Gaming has launched a pirate-themed slot with a difference in its latest title, Booty Bay. Swashbuckling adventures are abound in a tropical cove that’s full of hidden plunder buried beneath the sun-drenched sands of the Hotzone, where players will find the biggest win potential. To make the most of this loot-laden section, the base game is transformed by triggering different features when the moving Booty Wilds land in the 3×3 square. Unlike typical pirate themed slots, progressive unlimited respins are then generated.

Kalamba Games is bringing out of this world excitement and galactic wins to players in its latest title, Cosmic Charms. Set in the vast emptiness of space, the game offers a classic fruit slot experience but with added features that take excitement to astronomical levels. Cosmic Charms introduces a brand new Cashpot mechanic with five available levels set above the reels waiting to be claimed if the Quasar symbol behind each column is revealed.

Booongo, has released its latest creation in partnership with the boutique studio Kendoo, Pearl Diver.

Three or more Diver symbols trigger the Free Spins mode, during which further appearances of Divers will grant additional spins for players to enjoy.

Pragmatic Play, has launched its new Viking-inspired venture Lucky, Grace & Charm, headed by an all-female group of warriors. The highly volatile slot takes on a stunning Norse theme and is played on a 3×5 layout, overlaying a mystic harbour filled with Viking longships.

Investment in championships, clubs, and national teams expands media assets and positions BETesporte as a key player in Brazil’s sports market.

BETesporte, a betting platform that proudly carries “sports” in its name, is reaffirming its leadership in the industry by reporting consistent investment results over the past four months. While most betting platforms generate the majority of their revenue from online games (virtual casinos), BETesporte stands out as one of the few where sports betting leads the way — accounting for 65% of its total revenue, compared to 35% from online games. This figure directly reflects its brand strategy and commitment to strengthening Brazilian sports.

“Over the last four months, we’ve consolidated our presence on multiple fronts, focusing on strategic returns and high-quality visibility. We’ve sponsored several state championships in all regions of the country, including the Paulista, Paranaense, Carioca, Alagoano, Gaúcho, Pernambucano, Cearense, Catarinense, Baiano, and Mineiro tournaments, as well as the highly engaging Copa do Nordeste. We’ve also invested in Series A and B of the Brasileirão, placing our brand on Brazil’s biggest football stages and ensuring mass exposure with a high value per impression. It’s a strategic allocation of resources designed to generate brand impact and strengthen the Brazilian sports ecosystem,” said Thiago Carvalho, CFO at BETesporte.

Among the platform’s most notable recent acquisitions is brand exposure during Brazil’s national team matches in the World Cup Qualifiers — a move that reinforces BETesporte’s presence on the global football stage and strengthens its connection with fans during highly visible moments.

“We truly believe in the power of sports as a driver of connection and engagement. At BETesporte, we’re constantly investing in improving our platform with new features and more real-time betting options. Our marketing plan is performance-oriented: we aim to energize Brazil’s sports scene through active sponsorships in Series A and B of the national league — with master sponsorships, LED field displays, and direct club support. We bet on sports both as a passion and a business,” added Danylo Campos, CTO of BETesporte.

Beyond football, BETesporte is expanding its social impact by supporting up-and-coming athletes, providing financial assistance to help them compete and grow in sports like kickboxing, table tennis, and jiu-jitsu — an initiative that helps uncover new talent and democratize access to high-performance sports.

The company also maintains partnerships with traditional clubs like CRB, CSA, and Volta Redonda, reinforcing its regional presence and boosting local fanbases with strong community ties.

BETesporte’s credibility is further strengthened by the presence of legendary Brazilian football figures as brand ambassadors, including Zico, Vampeta, Diego Souza, and Macaé — personalities who bring even more legitimacy to the company’s presence in the sports world.

Sacramento, CA — In a meeting packed with regulatory updates and licensing decisions, the California Gambling Control Commission (CGCC) convened on April 24 to advance numerous agenda items impacting the state’s gambling landscape—from tribal gaming approvals to responsible gambling programs and operator renewals.

Problem Gambling & Public Health Takes the Stage

The Commission meeting opened with a presentation by Sosha Marasigan-Quintero from the California Department of Public Health, offering an overview and update on the California Problem Gambling Treatment Services Program. While no specific staff recommendations were provided, the update underscores California’s continued focus on behavioral health in gambling.

Tribal Revenue Distribution Approved

The Commission approved the quarterly distribution of payments from the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund to eligible recipient Indian Tribes. This routine, yet vital, procedure ensures the equitable distribution of revenue to support tribal sovereignty and infrastructure across the state.

Cardroom Licensing: Approvals and Extensions

Among key licensing matters:

500 Club Casino (K & M Casinos, Inc.) received both initial and renewal owner-type license approvals through January 2027.
Casino Chico, Hollywood Park Casino, and Lake Bowl Cardroom were granted renewals and short-term extensions, some with conditions such as improving record-keeping systems or ensuring regulatory compliance ahead of reopening.
Hotel Del Rio & Casino was granted a 60-day extension under several strict conditions, including updated safety plans and the restatement of commingled financial records.

Key Employee Licensing Actions

The Commission approved several initial and renewal key employee licenses. Notably:

Jeffrey Thompson was approved with a condition prohibiting involvement in illegal gambling activities.
Kevin Lee and George Rahme received 120-day extensions for renewal processing.

Third-Party Proposition Player Services Under Scrutiny

The Commission approved both initial and temporary licenses for Fortune Players Group, Inc., with a lengthy list of conditions tied to the conduct of a former associate, Rene Medina. These conditions highlight the Commission’s ongoing vigilance in monitoring third-party player services and maintaining compliance across operations.

Progressive Gaming, LLC was also approved for an initial license, further expanding third-party service provider capacity.

Gaming Resource Suppliers & Tribal Approvals

Initial suitability findings for several prominent tribal gaming resource suppliers were approved, including:

HCAL, LLC
JCM Global
Konami Gaming, Inc.
PDS Gaming, LLC

Dozens of tribal gaming employees were also approved for key positions at tribal casinos across California, reflecting the Commission’s continued support of tribal gaming operations and the necessary workforce to support it.

Notable Withdrawals and Denials

In two notable cases, requests to withdraw license applications—Josephine Hoang and Jesus Bojorquez—were denied, signaling the Commission’s increased scrutiny and emphasis on applicant accountability.

A Broader Look Ahead

With regulatory reform on the horizon and ongoing efforts to promote responsible gaming, the April 2025 CGCC meeting showcased a mix of routine license management and deeper engagement with emerging compliance issues. As the Commission prepares for the next quarter, the groundwork laid in this session will likely influence policy developments and enforcement trends across California’s gambling sector.

Affiliate marketing in 2025 has evolved far beyond just boosting traffic or generating clicks — it’s now all about building value-rich ecosystems and partnerships where each user interaction is fine-tuned for maximum relevance and effectiveness.

Boomerang Partners, a rapidly growing global brand behind the annual Golden Boomerang Awards for affiliate teams around the world, shares insights about the key trends of 2025 in the affiliate marketing industry. These trends are driven by advancements in AI, blockchain, and personalization technologies.

AI-powered optimization

Advanced AI tools empower affiliates to launch highly personalized campaigns on a large scale. By analyzing user behavior in real time, these tools help marketers anticipate user intent and deliver customized content that speaks directly to distinct audience needs.

With AI-powered tools, affiliate managers can plan, execute, and evaluate campaigns with minimal human intervention. This saves time when adjusting strategies and making data-driven decisions.

Personalized engagement

Using data on user behavior and preferences, affiliate managers tailor content, advertising campaigns, and product recommendations. This leads to increased engagement and conversions.

AI-powered personalization relies heavily on real-time insights into user behavior. Key elements include maintaining contextual relevance, steering clear of excessive segmentation, and optimizing content dynamically. Instead of relying on fixed strategies, marketers now continuously refine campaigns using live data. To maximize impact, marketers should combine AI solutions with A/B testing processes, forming a feedback loop that enhances content effectiveness with each iteration.

Crypto betting boom

In 2025, integrating cryptocurrencies into iGaming affiliate marketing will become increasingly prominent. This trend is fueled by industry growth and the increasing adoption of blockchain technology. Using cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum increases the security of transactions and provides exposure to an international audience. Cryptocurrencies also open up new revenue streams and foster innovation in the field.

Affiliates integrating cryptocurrency into their platforms have seen advantages like quicker payment processing, reduced transaction costs, and enhanced security. Built on decentralized technology, crypto promotes greater transparency, helping to foster trust compared to conventional centralized financial systems.

Affiliate tournaments

Industry tournaments boost brand visibility and help build strong affiliate communities. Affiliate tournaments have become a trend in the industry. They are mainly organized by affiliate programs and feature valuable prizes — from iPhones and MacBooks to luxury cars and cash rewards. Boomerang Partners took it a step further by launching the annual Global Boomerang Partners Awards.
