SciPlay is acquiring 80% of Alictus for $100 million in a cash payment that is not subject to financing.

“We are incredibly excited to continue our expansion in the casual space and partner with a proven leader like Alictus that boasts an impressive, unique culture and an extraordinary track record of delivering chart-topping games. The hyper-casual market is a natural expansion for SciPlay with game mechanics and player demographics that are similar to those across casual genres in which we already operate and are growing our presence. This acquisition provides SciPlay an entry point into this market with a highly talented team and a robust pipeline of hyper-casual games, helping us to diversify into the in-app advertising business model and participate in the massive and fast-growing mobile advertising market. The powerful combination of Alictus’s hyper-casual expertise with our industry-leading live services and meta capabilities positions us to expand our market share by developing hit games with compelling game-play, driving further player engagement and enhanced revenue and profitability,” Josh Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of SciPlay, said.
“Alictus has built one of the leading hyper-casual game businesses in the world, and together with my co-Founder and COO Ecem Baran, we are thrilled to be joining forces with SciPlay at this important point in our growth trajectory. With SciPlay’s best-in-class live services capabilities, data analytics platform and resources, we will be able to accelerate the development of hit games while attracting a whole new universe of players. Alictus’s culture builds on determination and progression, and I want to thank our team for their effort and dedication that made this partnership possible. I am confident that with SciPlay, our team will step up to create and thrive in our next phase of growth,” Emre Taş, CEO and Co-Founder of Alictus, said.

Bingo Paradise, a prominent UK iGaming affiliate, has announced its most successful quarter ever, achieving record growth during Q3 2024.

Bingo Paradise achieved a 65.24% year-over-year increase in FTDs compared to Q3 2023. This impressive growth underscores the affiliate’s focus on player-first strategies, such as creating honest, well-researched reviews that empower users to make informed decisions. The team’s compliance manager ensures every piece of content adheres to strict regulations, building trust with both players and operators.
A key factor in the platform’s success is its ability to negotiate exclusive offers with UKGC-licensed operators. These partnerships allow Bingo Paradise to provide unique deals that resonate strongly with players, enhancing its appeal as a go-to player resource.
