Play’n GO awaits the next challenger in Return of the Green Knight
Play’n GO welcomes the legendary Green Knight back into their ranks to test the mettle of promising knights. See if you’ve got what it takes to stand toe-to-toe with this fabled figure in Return of the Green Knight.
This grand Arthurian tale is one of honour, endurance, and glory. Now that this powerful warrior has returned, it’s time to see who has what it takes to best him in combat as Sir Gawain did all those years ago. Spin the reels and let the glorious duel begin.
During any spin of the reels, Wild Multipliers may become active. A random Wild Multiplier will be chosen and applied to all Wilds across the reels. Once active, if one or more Wild Multipliers substitute for another symbol as part of a winning combination of symbols, then that payline will be multiplied by the value shown on the Wild Multiplier. This can be a x2, x5, x10, x25, or a x100 Multiplier.
Players can also earn the Free Spins feature by landing three Scatter symbols on any of the reels. This will award five Free Spins and can also lead to the exciting Shield Spins round if two Scatters land during the Free Spins. Each Free Spin will also increase in Multiplier value, starting from x2 and increasing to x100 on the fifth Free Spin.
If the Shield Spins round is earned, the Free Spins are paused during the Shield Spins bonus and the current Wild Multiplier value will be locked in for the duration. The Wild Multiplier value on the spin that triggers the Shield Spins will remain constant throughout the five Shield Spins. Any new Wilds that land during are his time is also locked in place for the remainder of the round. After the Shield Spins conclude, the remaining Free Spins continue, but any Wilds that were being held in place are removed.
Return of the Green Knight follows on from The Green Knight a popular title from Play’n GO’s renowned Arthurian Legend titles alongside games such as 15 Crystal Roses, Clash of Camelot, and Merlin: Journey of Flame. The legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table are very popular stories across the world.
Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, Magnus Wallentin said: “We’re incredibly excited to bring the formidable fighter back to fans in Return of the Green Knight. The Arthurian Legend titles always prove to be popular additions to our wide library of games, both for players and for our game designers themselves! With features such as the Shield Spins bonus, players have the chance of earning some great potential wins.
With the anticipation building during the Free Spins round, as players hope to land the Shield Spins with as high a multiplier as possible, the atmosphere is one of intensity and excitement, akin to a duel with the legendary Green Knight themselves.”
The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) reported 63 alerts of suspicious betting to the relevant authorities in the first quarter (Q1) of 2025. The Q1 2025 total is 3% less than the 65 alerts in Q4 2024, and 11% more when compared to the revised Q1 2024 total of 57 alerts. IBIA monitors over $300bn per annum in betting turnover (handle) across more than 80 members with over 140 sports betting brands globally.
The 63 incidents of suspicious betting in Q1 2025 concerned six sports, across 23 countries and 5 continents. Other key data for Q1 2025 includes:
- Football and tennis accounted for 40 of the Q1 2025 alerts (64%), a 14% increase from 35 alerts in Q4 2024.
- Sporting events in Europe and North America, with 32 alerts combined, made up 51% of the total reported; that was a decrease of 29% compared to 45 alerts in Q4 2024.
- Table tennis saw a notably reduction in alerts from 21 reported in Q4 2024 to 9 reported in Q1 2025, representing a 53% quarter-on-quarter fall.
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “The first quarter of 2025 was relatively consistent with the previous quarter and the comparable period last year. Football and tennis remain the most reported sports, albeit their combined Q1 2025 number was down 14% on Q4 2024. This quarter-on-quarter reduction was primarily due to a fall in tennis alerts, which have shown a welcome reduction in recent years. The Q4 2024 increase in table tennis alerts has not continued into Q1 2025 and has fallen back to previous levels. IBIA has taken increased precautions regarding this sport and agreed a number of new integrity partnerships and protocols in Q1 with the aim of detecting and sanctioning corrupt betting activity.”
IBIA is a leading not-for-profit dedicated to protecting the integrity of regulated sports betting markets worldwide. Its global monitoring network serves as a powerful anti-corruption tool, identifying and reporting suspicious betting activity. In late 2024, IBIA further strengthened its capabilities with a major technological upgrade, significantly enhancing its ability to detect and respond to potential match-fixing across its members’ markets.

Neosurf, the progressive online payments company known for bridging the gap between cash and digital transactions and helping iGaming operators meet their AML and compliance requirements, has now launched in the regulated Mexican market.
With Mexico’s sports betting industry experiencing rapid growth and a strong player preference for alternative and cash-based payment solutions, Neosurf sees a significant opportunity to provide an enhanced range of market-tailored payment services to operators and players alike.
Neosurf’s cash-to-digital wallet solutions will enable Mexican players to fund their accounts securely while also giving operators access to robust compliance tools. With its pioneering Compliance Handshake feature, Neosurf provides an opportunity for seamless and secure KYC data sharing, improving the player journey and providing additional data and reporting for the operator
“In talking with operators, we’ve learnt that they’re not being serviced as well as they could be – there are gaps in customer support, compliance processes and overall payment efficiency,” explained Sue Page, CEO Americas at Neosurf.
“We believe our solution fills these gaps by offering a more reliable, secure and compliant way for players to transact, while also helping operators improve the all-round customer experience. We’re already live with first regional partners, such as Fun88, in the country and will quickly be adding more SEGOB licensed operators over the coming months.”
“With many Mexican players favouring cash, partnering with Neosurf allows us to offer a payment method that aligns with customer preferences while reinforcing our commitment to security and compliance,” added Christian Ramos, legal representative at Fun88 Mexico. “Their ability to provide frictionless transactions while enhancing AML and KYC processes makes them a key partner in the market.”
Neosurf’s launch in Mexico is just the beginning of its expansion into the regulated Latin American market, with the company already exploring further opportunities across the region. Through delivering its fast, secure and customer-centric payment solutions, Neosurf remains committed to reshaping the payments experience for players and operators, both within Mexico and beyond.
