Push Gaming mines for precious gems with the network launch of Crystal Catcher
B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming delves underground in search of riches, in its latest slot release Crystal Catcher™.
Initially launched on an exclusive basis with the tier-one operator Kindred Group, Crystal Catcher is now available across all its operator partners.
The title is set across 7×7 reels and features different coloured gems as its symbols. These must form an adjacent, matching combination of five or more gems to award a win. Any winning symbols are then removed from play causing a cascade of new icons to fall from the top of the matrix which can create additional winning opportunities.
A wild beetle can aid players in unlocking these wins by substituting for any base game symbols. Additionally, if a crystal symbol is present on the reels the wild beetle will move to any occurrences of this crystal and increase the wild multiplier by 1x, boosting the winning potential of the slot.
Instant prizes worth as much as 500x can also be found on the reels, but these can only be collected by a wild beetle. The potential for big wins takes a huge boost when this happens courtesy of a multiplier wild beetle in both the base game and free spins round.
To enter the free spins, a wild symbol must collect a bonus crystal awarding seven free spins. During the bonus, a wild beetle will be present with its gathered multiplier remaining throughout all subsequent spins.
This action-packed subterranean slot is filled with vibrant visuals, incrementally increasing multipliers and the same incredible entertainment experiences players have come to expect from Push Gaming following other recent hit releases such as 10 Swords, Dino P.D. and Giga Jar.
Konstantinos Vytsaras, Director of Games at Push Gaming, said: “Crystal Catcher has enjoyed an amazing reception during its initial exclusivity period with Kindred and we are pleased to see immense anticipation for it ahead of its network release.
“Players can look forward to a fresh theme while familiar mechanics, made popular by titles such as Jammin’ Jars and Retro Tapes, offer a lot of replayability for them to enjoy.”

Dplus Kia sweep Karmine Corp 3-0 to win League of Legends at Esports World Cup 2026
Dplus Kia won League of Legends at Esports World Cup 2026 on July 19 in Paris, sweeping home team Karmine Corp 3-0 in the Grand Final. The result gives the South Korean roster its first LAN tournament win of the 2026 season and, per the event, its first major international trophy since 2020. Dplus Kia earned $600,000 and 1,000 points toward the Club Championship.
Dplus Kia’s run started in the Group Stage lower bracket after a loss to AG AL. The team then posted consecutive best-of-three sweeps over FURIA and G2 Esports to reach playoffs, followed by a quarterfinal upset of Bilibili Gaming and a semifinal win over Esports World Cup 2025 winners Gen.G.
Karmine Corp reached the final after a comeback win over T1 in the semifinals, setting up an all-underdog championship match on home soil. In the final, Dplus Kia controlled game one, edged a close game two after a late Karmine Corp mistake, and closed out the series 3-0.
“It’s been five years since the international stage, and I’m so proud of myself, and I’m just so excited right now,” said Heo “ShowMaker” Su following the grand final.
Sin “Smash” Guem-jae was named SONY MVP and received an additional $25,000. The 19-year old finished the tournament with an 8.1 KDA (kills/deaths/assists) statistic. “I’m so excited right now, I’m so happy,” Smash said, after receiving the award. “It’s also my birthday in Korea, this is a phenomenal birthday.” Earlier on July 19, Gen.G secured third place over T1 with a 2-1 win, collecting $220,000.

Pay4Fun integrates payments into Betconstruct AI ecosystem for Brazil
Integration adds Pix, account validation, fraud controls and compliance tools for operators targeting Brazil’s regulated betting market.
Pay4Fun has integrated its financial infrastructure with Betconstruct AI’s platform in Brazil, giving operators connected to the ecosystem access to payments and compliance tooling built for the country’s regulated betting market.
Pay4Fun said Betconstruct AI clients will be able to use Pix payment processing, account ownership validation, transaction monitoring, fraud prevention, and compliance tools aligned with Brazil’s regulatory requirements.
According to Leonardo Baptista, CEO and Co-Founder of Pay4Fun, regulation is pushing operators to look beyond basic processing. “The Brazilian market has entered a new phase of maturity. Today, operators require solutions that go far beyond payment processing. They need partners capable of delivering security, compliance, and operational efficiency in an increasingly demanding regulatory environment. By integrating our solutions with Betconstruct AI, we are expanding access to a financial infrastructure specifically designed to meet the needs of the Brazilian market.”
Betconstruct AI said the integration strengthens its Brazil-facing offer for clients operating in the country or planning entry. “Pay4Fun was selected based on the expertise and industry knowledge the company has built within the Brazilian betting market. As the industry continues to evolve, the importance of working with specialized partners capable of delivering security, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance continues to grow,” said Beatriz Lopes, the Brazil Regional Director.
Pay4Fun said it was the first payment institution serving the betting industry to receive authorization from the Central Bank of Brazil, and that the company’s infrastructure combines monitoring, identity verification, fraud and anti-money laundering controls, and compliance processes tailored to regulated iGaming operations.
