Kindred Group (Kindred) joined forces with Swedish operators ATG and Svenska Spel in the autumn of 2022, where the three operators decided to jointly publish key metrics for their work with Swedish customers who show signs of problematic gambling behaviours. The cooperation aims to increase public awareness and contribute to a fact-based dialogue about what is done to reduce gambling harm.

Reported every six months to the Swedish Gambling Authority, are metrics such as:

  • The percentage of customers who are contacted as a result of problematic gambling (of the total number of active customers)
  • The effect of proactive contacts (share of customers who reduce their gambling)
  • How much have these individuals reduced their gambling on average
  • The share of contacted customers who choose to self-exclude themselves from gambling at the operators less than six months and six months and longer.

The purpose of reporting openly on these key metrics is to make it easier for Swedish stakeholders to follow and understand how the three operators work to counteract harmful gambling with the help of regulation, technology, research and human contact. A more fact-based and open dialogue increases trust in the industry and makes other operators more inclined to follow suit.

Comparing Kindred’s latest report, covering the second half of 2023, to the previous report, the percentage of contacted customers who reduced their gambling as an effect of proactive contacts has risen to 78.19% in comparison to 75.09% for the first half of 2023.

MediaTroopers said it is preparing to launch in Alberta’s regulated gaming market on July 13, as Canada’s next regulated commercial gaming market opens.

The digital marketing and customer acquisition firm said it plans to enter Alberta alongside eight “premium operator” clients, which it said are also preparing for their own market entries. MediaTroopers did not name the operators.

The company said its Alberta offering will mirror its work in Ontario, including localized acquisition strategies, compliance-focused marketing, regional player education, and market-tailored performance campaigns.

MediaTroopers also said it has seen “strong interest” from Alberta players through pre-registration activity, without providing figures.

“Alberta represents an exciting next step for regulated iGaming in Canada, and Media Troopers is ready to support operators from day one,” said Shmulik Segal, CEO of Media Troopers. “Our experience in Ontario has given us a strong understanding of what it takes to enter a new Canadian market successfully, from compliance and localization to scalable player acquisition. With eight of our premium clients already preparing for launch and early pre-registration traction underway, we see Alberta as a market with tremendous potential.”

Gravity Blackjack, Gravity Roulette and Grand Bonus Blackjack join Maxbet’s lobby, with more ICONIC21 content planned in coming weeks.

ICONIC21 has gone live with Maxbet in Romania, adding a selection of the supplier’s live casino and RNG titles to the operator’s platform. The companies said additional titles are scheduled to roll out in the coming weeks.

The initial live casino lineup includes Gravity Blackjack and Gravity Roulette from ICONIC21’s Gravity Series, alongside Grand Bonus Blackjack. ICONIC21 noted that Grand Bonus Blackjack was “recently recognized at the SBC Awards” for its progressive bonus system.

From ICONIC21’s RNG portfolio, Maxbet players now have access to Lightspeed, described by the supplier as a crash game, and Gravity Plinko. ICONIC21 said further portfolio adoption has already been confirmed for the coming weeks.

Alina Mihaela Popa, Chief Commercial Officer at ICONIC21, said: “We’ve put a lot of thought and effort into our growth in Romania, so launching with Maxbet is yet another milestone for us in the market. Maxbet is trusted and has a loyal community of players, so being included in their lineup will further increase our games’ popularity in the Romanian market.

What really stands out with this deal is that we’re continuing to lay the foundation for a lasting presence in Romania, with more launches on the way. ICONIC21 is becoming a familiar name for players and operators here, and collaborations like this are making it happen.”

Manuel Bauer, CEO at Maxbet, said: “There’s definitely interest among our community every time something new lands in the lobby, and ICONIC21’s games are already generating plenty of interest. Our players are quick to spot quality and innovation, and we’re confident these new additions will become favorites, especially with the multiplier mechanics ICONIC introduces. This partnership opens the door to even more exciting releases in the near future.”
