Feel the burn in Relax Gaming and CasinoGrounds’ fierce release Beast Mode
Relax Gaming, the igaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, is inviting players to take a walk on the wild side in its buffest title to date, Beast Mode.
This high volatility eighties-inspired slot, developed in collaboration with CasinoGrounds, sees players transported to Venice Beach where the tank-tops are tight and the wins are even bigger than the oiled-up muscles.
This feature-filled title includes a Random Mystery Spin feature that sees mystery symbols land randomly at any time and three unique free spin features that pits players up against three beastly thugs. These are Mystery Symbol free spins, Multiplier Ladder free spins and Expanding Wild free spins, all of which can lead to players netting a maximum prize of 25,000x their stake.
The Mystery Symbol feature awards players six free spins with persistent mystery symbols present, these symbols reveal the matching symbols upon landing. An expanding bomb symbol can also land which will explode and force the height of the game reels to expand.
The Multiplier Ladder feature awards players 8 free spins with a x1 multiplier. After every win and between spins the multiplier will increase according to the multiplier ladder visible above the reels up to a maximum of 500x. At certain steps in the ladder extra spins are also awarded.
The third and final free spin bonus, the Expanding Wild feature awards players with seven free spins in which wild symbols expand downwards whenever they appear, increasing an overall win multiplier by 1x for every wild that lands on the reels.
Whenever players trigger the free spins bonus they can choose to utilise a heart-stopping gamble feature, this sees them spin a wheel of fortune that decides whether they’ll receive a better bonus with additional perks or lose it altogether.
If players wish to jump straight into the action skipping base gameplay and into the free spins bonus, they can do so by paying 80x their stake, triggering it instantly.
Simon Hammon, Relax Gaming CPO, said: “When we worked with CasinoGrounds on the development of Iron Bank last year it proved to be a huge success and fans absolutely loved it, which hardly came as a surprise considering that it’s a community-led game.
“Doing it all over again was always going to be on the cards, and Beast Mode is what’s come out of this exciting collaboration. We really can’t wait to see how players take to this slot, which is easily among the strongest we’ve ever created!”
Established as one of the industry’s leading B2B suppliers, Relax Gaming has celebrated more than 10 award wins throughout 2021, with more nominations already announced for the 2022 award season.
Now one of the industry’s leading aggregators, Relax provides more than 3,000 online casino games, from its high performing proprietary slots to a significant, varied library of content from hand-picked third-party studios via its partnership programmes.

Dutch Regulator Publishes Match-fixing Trend Analysis 2025
The Dutch gambling regulator, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), has published its Match-fixing Trend Analysis for 2025.
The number of reports of possible match-fixing in 2025 remained roughly the same as in 2024. However, there was a change within the reports: gambling providers reported more athletes betting on their own competition, which wasn’t the case in 2024.
Gambling providers are obligated to prevent match-fixing as much as possible. They can do this, for example, by not offering bets on high-risk matches. If a provider suspects match-fixing, it can report it to the Sports Betting Intelligence Unit (SBIU) of the Royal Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA). In recent years, the KSA has actively worked to raise awareness about filing these reports.
In 2025, the KSA received 12 reports of match-fixing from 9 different license holders, compared to 13 reports the previous year. It is striking that 4 of these reports concerned betting on the club’s own competition, while this category did not occur in 2024. In this context, the KSA increased its focus on preventative education for athletes in 2025, informing them about what is and is not permitted and the associated risks.
Last year, the KSA published a guideline, “Commitment to Integrity,” to provide providers with additional tools to combat match-fixing. Furthermore, an ongoing investigation into the sports betting offerings of various providers was conducted throughout 2025. This investigation resulted in several warnings and a penalty for prohibited offerings.
