Mandatory loss limits stop players from losing more money. Paf has decided to lower the loss limit for everyone between the ages of 20 and 24. Young people of this age already have a lower loss limit at Paf and now it will be further reduced from €10,000 to €8000 per year.

“This is an important continuation of the responsible gaming direction we are striving towards at Paf. Now young customers can only play with us for amounts that are at a more sustainable level and within the framework of the customer segment that we have defined ourselves as the green segment,” Christer Fahlstedt, CEO of Paf, said.

Every year, Paf publishes a table showing how the profits and losses look for different customer segments. Over the years, the customer segments have been significantly affected after Paf introduced mandatory loss limits and lowered the maximum limits.

Loss limits are important

Paf customers can set their own lower limits, but cannot exceed the mandatory loss limits set by Paf. Paf’s loss limits apply to all our registered players and all game categories.

“We are not selling teddy bears, and we have a responsibility for the product we provide. As a gaming company, we can say no before a person has gambled away both house and home,” said Christer Fahlstedt.

Paf strives to be a leading gaming company when it comes to responsible gaming in the industry. Paf was the first international gaming company to introduce loss limits in 2018, and since then the maximum limits have been lowered several times.

“We need to be able to be sustainable in the long term. We believe that in a future highly regulated European market, you cannot lose more than €8,000 a year, which can be equivalent to an expensive leisure activity,” said Christer Fahlstedt.

Young people should be prioritised

Young people aged 18-24 are at a higher risk of developing problems with their gambling. Research on gambling problems and different risk groups generally indicates that young people are a risk group.

“We believe it is important to focus on young people and their gambling from a responsible gaming perspective. Together with our other responsible gaming measures, the loss limits are a good complement for better responsible gaming,” said Daniela Johansson, Deputy CEO & Chief Responsibility Officer at Paf.

The reduced loss limit for young people aged 20-24 has already been implemented on all of Paf gaming sites and markets.

Former UFC champion Conor McGregor has become the official global ambassador of 1xBet.

Not just a fighter. Not just a champion. McGregor is a phenomenon who helped turn the UFC from a niche sport into a global spectacle – driving record-breaking PPV sales, attracting worldwide media attention and engaging millions of fans.

Every time the Irishman steps into the octagon, it becomes an international event. The 1xPartners affiliate programme is getting a major boost. The legendary Notorious is now a long-term part of the 1xBet.

This partnership carries special importance ahead of UFC 329, which takes place on July 11. The main event will feature a rematch between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway, 13 years after their first meeting. Their 2013 bout marked a turning point in both fighters’ careers, and the upcoming clash is already being described as the most anticipated MMA event in recent years.

For 1xBet, partnering with one of the world’s most recognisable athletes creates new ways to reach a global audience, strengthens the brand’s international presence and gives 1xPartners affiliates additional opportunities to scale sports traffic. The affiliate program offers competitive monetisation terms, including up to 50% RevShare, regular payouts and a comprehensive suite of modern tools. This helps to consistently deliver strong conversion and engagement rates worldwide.

For 1xPartners affiliates, this is a chance to become part of a large-scale project, leverage one of the most recognisable athletes’ incredible media influence, work with the hottest traffic from the biggest UFC events and continue growing with 1xBet.

Kaizen Gaming’s Betano adds Play’n GO’s full slots portfolio, including Book of Dead and Reactoonz, for the first time in Colombia.

Play’n GO has launched with Betano Colombia, making the Swedish supplier’s casino games available on Kaizen Gaming’s brand in the country for the first time.

The agreement covers Colombia, one of Latin America’s regulated iGaming markets. Betano Colombia is rolling out Play’n GO’s full content portfolio, including titles such as Book of Dead and Reactoonz.

Play’n GO positioned the launch as part of its broader push across regulated markets in Latin America, with Colombia highlighted as a priority jurisdiction due to its established regulatory framework.

Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer of Play’n GO, said: “Colombia is an incredibly important market for Play’n GO. It stands out as one of the most stable regulated markets in Latin America, making it a key focus for our long-term growth strategy globally.

“Betano is one of the biggest names in global gaming, and they share our commitment to quality, compliance, and delivering exceptional entertainment. Bringing our full portfolio live on their platform in Colombia is an exciting step, and we’re confident this partnership will be a strong success for both parties.”

ICONIC21 has launched Keno, a new lottery-style iGaming title, the supplier said on 7 July 2026.

In the game, players can pick up to 10 numbers and watch a draw to see how many match. ICONIC21 said Keno includes three selectable risk levels — Low, Medium and High — and a maximum multiplier of 1,000x.

For operators, ICONIC21 said the release supports branding options including customisable win and loss assets and a branded multiplier progress bar.

Edvardas Sadovskis, Chief Product Officer at ICONIC21, said: “Keno has endured precisely because it never asked for too much of the player, and that simplicity is exactly what we set out to protect.

“The three risk levels give players real agency over their session, which matters for enjoyment and responsible play alike. It’s a recognisable, low-barrier format with enough customisation built in to make it genuinely an operator’s own.”
