YGAM, StreetGames and YSF Team Up to Provide Problem Gambling Education to Youth
Young Gamers and Gamblers Education Trust (YGAM) has started a new training alliance with national sports charity StreetGames and Yorkshire Sport Foundation (YSF) to provide problem gambling education to youth.
“Working with sports clubs and groups is a natural progression for YGAM and something we have been making progress on for some time. There is a clear alignment in our values and mission, to safeguard children and ensure each young person gets a healthy start in life,” Sam Starsmore, YGAMs’ National Education Manager, said.
“Since we first began working with StreetGames and YSF, we have seen just how passionate both organisations are about the work they are doing. To have them supporting YGAM’s objectives and taking the steps to utilise our training and resources is great news for the young people and their families who make use of their services,” Sam Starsmore added.
“We are looking forward to supporting YGAM and working with YSF in the Yorkshire region, on an issue which too often has a real and detrimental impact on communities. Ensuring the safeguarding of young people is a key area of work for StreetGames and using sport as a driver for these conversations can be a great way to engage openly and honestly with trusted community organisations. We hope this training will help raise awareness of the potential issues caused by gaming and gambling, as well as offering ways to prevent the harm this can cause,” Halima Khan from StreetGames said.
“The safety and welfare of young people is of utmost importance to Yorkshire Sport Foundation, and we are committed to working with local sports clubs and organisations to raise awareness of issues that can affect young people. We hope through our involvement, we can spread the messages and help to reduce the harm caused to young people through gaming and gambling,” Gillian Brown, Safeguarding Lead for Yorkshire Sport Foundation, said.
Swedish gaming giants’ games now available in the province of Córdoba’s newly regulated market
Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has today announced their expansion into yet another new regulated market, as the Swedish gaming giant has agreed a partnership with Betsson in the province of Córdoba, Argentina.
Argentina is currently in a process of regulation for online gaming purposes on a province-by-province basis, and the partnership with Betsson sees Play’n GO enter yet another regulated market, keeping up the momentum from 2023 that saw the company expand its global reach.
This announcement sees Betsson’s players in Córdoba gain access to Play’n GO’s entire catalogue of games, including classics such as Book of Dead, Reactoonz, and Moon Princess.
This announcement is a signal of intent from Play’n GO, who reiterate their commitment to be present in every regulated market in the world.
Michele Stefanelli, Sales Leader, LATAM and Southern Europe, Play’n GO said: “Our first foray into a new region is always exciting for us, and we’re looking forward to a successful partnership with Betsson in Córdoba. Players around the world, and especially in the LATAM region, have already shown their fondness for our content, and we’re quietly confident that this new region will be no different. We are on record with our commitment to a safe, regulated industry, and we’re very pleased to see that approach rolled out globally by lawmakers and operators alike.”
Maximiliano Bellio, Managing Director Betsson Argentina, added: “We’re pleased to welcome Play’n GO to the Betsson family here in the Córdoba region, and we look forward to many years of success together. Like Play’n GO, Betsson is committed to a sustainable industry model, so this partnership makes perfect sense for both parties. We’re sure our players will be as excited as we are once they start playing these games that have proven so popular around the world, so let’s get started.”
Play’n GO’s games are already available in the autonomous city of Buenos Aires and Buenos Aires Province within Argentina’s federal system.
Listed Swedish studio to benefit from increased speed to market
Tequity, the up-and-coming iGaming software pioneer, has agreed an integration deal with innovative studio Fantasma Games.
The integration of Tequity’s agile, licensed modular platform is expected to boost the speed-to-market capabilities of Fantasma, as the studio aims to grow its presence in key markets including North America.
Tequity’s platform incorporates a Remote Gaming Server (RGS) that increases operational efficiencies. Once live, Fantasma will be able to reach the next level by adding partners at a quicker rate, as it looks to meet operator demand for fresh types of content including increasingly popular sweepstakes.
The latest deal, with a studio listed on the Swedish stock market, follows on from successful launches of Tequity technology with sports betting-focused Parlaybay, multiplayer specialist BeyondPlay and slots supplier AvatarUX.
Tequity offers founders, start-ups, scale-ups and established companies across the iGaming sector a wide range of software modules that can be hand-picked to meet the needs of specific projects.
Krzysztof Opałka, Chief Technology Officer at Tequity, said: “We are excited to be working with Fantasma Gaming, to help further their growth in key markets worldwide.
“This partnership illustrates the power of our platform in delivering an efficient RGS solution that speeds up the launch process of their top-quality content. The Tequity platform offers a strong foundation for licensees wishing to create and deliver unique content to operators.”
Fredrik Johansson, CEO and Founder of Fantasma Games, added: “Thanks to the Tequity platform, Fantasma Games is working faster and smarter across a number of areas, allowing us to bring innovative content to our partners at speed.
“This integration significantly boosts our growth potential, as we look to increase the number of operator partners we work with around the world and deliver them relevant, localised and exciting games.”

Maxiplier combines a retro-inspired theme with revolutionary gameplay. Speedometer-style icons, on reels two and four, act as both wilds and multipliers that can increase wins up to 20x. Land two of these multipliers simultaneously for a potential max multiplier of 400x.
Maxiplier will launch with the highly anticipated 1-2-infinity ante bet mechanic. Land two scatters on the first two reels and trigger an infinite amount of respins. Collect wins until the third scatter lands, unlocking the thrilling free spins round.
The free spins round features enhanced multiplier wilds alongside the 1-2-Infinity respins, for even bigger wins. This exciting bonus builds upon the success of Realistic Games’ recent hits like Fortune Fortress and Chicken or the Egg? solidifying its position as an industry innovator.
Amy Brewis, Account Manager at Realistic Games, said: “We’re excited to be launching Maxiplier, a game with fresh mechanics that allows players the chance to win infinite respins. Multiplier wilds in both the base game and free spins keep things thrilling, and the 1-2-Infinity ante bet adds another layer of engagement.
“We expect players to love the chance for endless respins, a feature we’ve evolved from our popular Catch 22 slot. We can’t wait to see the response from players and operators alike!”
