Overwolf Acquires Tebex for $29 Million

Overwolf, the all-in-one platform that enables creators to build, share and monetise in-game apps and mods, has announced the acquisition of Tebex, a platform that allows creators to monetise private game servers, for $29 million. The acquisition supports Overwolf’s overall mission to unite the in-game creator community and empower them to make a living doing what they love.
Tebex provides an end-to-end solution for game studios and creators looking to monetise private servers, which spans from managing the creation of webstores to game servers receiving payouts. The company is the industry standard solution for twelve games including Minecraft, ARK: Survival Evolved and Rust. Since its inception, Tebex has helped creators earn over 500M USD using its monetization platform, with 10.5M USD being paid out to creators in December 2021 alone.
Through this acquisition, Overwolf expands into a new creator category – private server owners and creators. Apart from growing this category, the move is synergetic with CurseForge Core, Overwolf’s “mods as a service” offering to game studios. Tebex will continue to operate as a business unit within Overwolf and continue to maintain, build and innovate on its offering to its existing customers.
“From the moment we first met the team at Overwolf it was apparent of their dedication to the UGC market and ensuring creators get paid for their hard work. Joining Overwolf enables Tebex to expand its offerings to more game servers, publishers, and more importantly, allows us to further grow the communities of our existing game servers. Their commitment to helping us grow the game server industry will push Tebex into our next growth chapter,” Lee McNeil, CEO of Tebex, said.
“Tebex shares in our unwavering commitment of identifying ways to support gaming communities and game studios who want to empower in-game creators that create content on top of their games. As long-time champions of in-game app creators and mod authors, we are excited to work with a new creator category – server owners – to continue to build new experiences in the industry. By combining our industry-leading operations with Tebex’ technology and passionate team, we’ll be able to reach more creators and help them earn a sustainable income for their work,” Uri Marchand, CEO of Overwolf, said.

TESTA debuts TESTA Score, allowing operators to benchmark UX

TESTA, the crowd testing platform for the iGaming industry, has launched its innovative TESTA Score with CasinoCompare.ph, a Philippine-focused online casino affiliate—and the only platform exclusively listing PAGCOR-licensed online casinos.
TESTA Score is a new UX quality benchmark developed by TESTA that shines a light on online casino brands in markets with new regulatory compliance standards.
Using real testers with local devices, IDs and bank accounts, TESTA evaluates each operator’s performance across four key processes – registration, deposit, withdrawal and KYC.
Each process is scored against strict usability parameters such as the number of required input fields, page clicks, lead times for verification and fund arrival, as well as the number of KYC attempts required.
The total possible score is 100, divided across:
The TESTA Score provides objective, player-centric transparency in any market.
With local connectivity, device preferences and regulatory friction in mind, the scoring system reflects the real-world user journey and highlights where improvements are most needed.
This then provides a chance for operators to improve their key flows, especially KYC, and then apply for a re-test to update their published score.
CasinoCompare.ph becomes the first online casino affiliate to deploy TESTA Score, with six Philippine-licensed online casinos now ranked. The site is operated by AFFILI.ph whose aim is to set a new industry standards for transparency, trust, and player confidence.
The six sites include Casino Plus, Desk Game, FBM E.Motion, Bet88, PlayTime and Crazy Win.
While most operators performed well on the core user flows, the KYC process emerged as the main differentiator.
Operators that lacked a working KYC step at withdrawal automatically received a zero in that category, pulling down their overall TESTA Score significantly.
This is how they fared:
Casino Plus led the pack with a total score of 97/100, earning perfect marks in registration, withdrawal, and KYC, and only dropping points on deposit due to a single extra page click.
As well as accessing TESTA Score through their affiliate partners, operators can work directly with TESTA to determine their TESTA Score.
Chris Johnson, TESTA CMO, said: “Born out of frequent client requests for key processes testing, and competitor benchmarking, the TESTA Score measures the parts of the customer journey, outside of game play, that make or break player acquisition and retention.
“Operators can use their TESTA Score to understand where they stand out over their rivals and where there is a gap they need to close.
“It’s great to see that six Philippine-licensed casinos have already used TESTA Score to benchmark their UX and acquisition flows, and we look forward to working with more moving forward, both in the Philippines and other markets around the world.”
