The Danish Gambling Authority Increases the Fight Against Match-Fixing: Collaborates with Sports Alarm Companies
Since 1 April, the Danish Gambling Authority has been secretariat of the national platform for combating match-fixing. Recently, the authority entered into a collaboration with three companies that monitor betting at sporting events and issue alerts to partners if they discover irregularities that could be signs of match-fixing. In future, the Danish Gambling Authority will also receive these alarms, and will be able to compare with its own data and information and intervene if match-fixing is suspected.
The three companies with which the Danish Gambling Authority has now entered into formal cooperation are Sportradar, United Lotteries for Integrity in Sport (ULIS) and the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA). All three of them offer monitoring of betting on sporting events worldwide and share any suspicions of match-fixing directly with either the betting providers, the sport or the authorities. The companies’ monitoring consists by either following irregularities in the case of fluctuations in the odds setting or effort in the bet, and by acting as a centralised unit that receives, evaluates, and shares information with members.
With the new agreement, the Danish Gambling Authority will receive alerts from all three companies if they find unusual gambling patterns in betting on sports events mainly in Denmark.
“We are very happy about the three cooperation agreements. It will significantly strengthen our efforts against match-fixing that we now receive the alerts directly. Combined with our own large amounts of data, it has the potential to make our work even more efficient. We will be able to react very quickly and help stop behaviour that threatens the integrity of the sport,” Anders Dorph, director of the Danish Gambling Authority, said.
When the Danish Gambling Authority receives an alarm from one or more of the companies, the information is assessed, and the Danish Gambling Authority can initiate a closer investigation of the specific case. If the investigation indicates a concrete suspicion of match-fixing, the case will be transferred to the police and/or sports.
Play’n GO unveils Rise of Orpheus, a mythical slot that takes players deep into the Underworld in pursuit of love, light, and powerful gameplay features.
Following in the footsteps of mythology-inspired favourites like Gates of Troy and Rise of Olympus, Rise of Orpheus brings the tragic tale of Orpheus and Eurydice to life through emotionally charged mechanics and immersive storytelling. As Orpheus ventures into the realm of shadows to reclaim his lost love, players are invited to join a cinematic journey shaped by love, risk, and divine intervention. With its richly atmospheric visuals and evolving feature set, Rise of Orpheus stands as a testament to Play’n GO’s commitment to blending narrative depth with standout gameplay.
At the heart of the game is the Reunion feature, triggered when both lovers appear on screen. Orpheus walks across the reels to reach Eurydice, leaving Wilds in his path and forming a powerful combined symbol. In tandem, Eurydice’s Multiplier grows with each of her appearances during Free Spins, heightening the emotional – and gameplay – stakes. Meanwhile, the Wrath of Cerberus Respin and Wild Meter mechanics provide escalating excitement and layered rewards. These features don’t just elevate gameplay – they mirror the desperate determination of Orpheus’ journey.
Players drawn to the rich lore of Divine Showdown or the emotional arcs of Tales of Asgard: Freya’s Wedding will find familiar satisfaction in Rise of Orpheus. As part of Play’n GO’s mythology-inspired portfolio, this title offers a unique take on the legendary love story, marrying poetic tragedy with inventive mechanics. The game’s progression through the Underworld’s levels also echoes the structure of House of Doom II, offering evolving gameplay with dramatic flair.
Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, commented: “With Rise of Orpheus, we wanted to craft a slot that resonates emotionally as well as mechanically. This is a love story wrapped in myth, with every feature reinforcing the journey of reunion and risk.”
A poignant story. Powerful features. Rise of Orpheus invites players to walk through shadows – and witness love reshape destiny.

Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, is proud to unveil its latest instant game hit, Jackpot Limbo. This instant title blends simplicity, strategy, and the thrill of big wins, offering fast-paced gameplay, intuitive mechanics, and suspense.
Before each round, players must select their Player Factor using the Target field and then press the Bet button. The game will then generate a random Game Factor between 1.00 and 9999.00 – the higher the number, the bigger the potential win – but the risk rises. If the selected Player Factor is less than or equal to the Game Factor, the player wins. The prize is calculated as the bet amount multiplied by the Player Factor.
The Jackpot feature can only be accessed with a minimum bet of 60 credits. When activated, the game randomly sets a target jackpot amount. The jackpot is awarded to the player whose bet pushes the total prize pool to hit or go beyond that set total.
As the pool nears the target, the jackpot display will start to flash red. From this point onward, jackpot reels may appear and spin. Players will scoop the jackpot if the ‘LIMBO’ appears on the reels.
Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, said: “Jackpot Limbo is the ultimate test of risk and reward as players contort themselves to find the winning formula. The beauty of this instant format is its accessibility: easy to learn, fast to play, and always exciting.”
