NuxGame: iGaming Solutions That Define the Future
NuxGame is an iGaming software developer that is offering cost-effective and easy-to-implement solutions for business. The company is a new player on the market, being founded just in 2018. However, its distinctive and innovative technologies, together with smart casino and sportsbook solutions already made them a household name in the industry.
Mission
We had a conversation with the executive officers of the company to find out how NuxGame products and solutions made it to the top so fast.
“First of all, NuxGame company started from an idea. Our goal was to create an affordable and, at the same time, versatile and easy-to-manage iGaming platform for business. We had a clear view of what the market could offer and a precise understanding that we can create a platform that will leave the competitors behind. The only obstacle was a budget for development which was pretty tight at the beginning.” – said NuxGame CTO.
About NuxGame
NuxGame project emerged as a start-up first, but it managed to grow into a full-fledged IT company in just several years. The first solution that made it to the market was a universal Turnkey solution that included both casino and betting platforms that shared a common back office. This solution also included ready-made templates for the front end, banking options, and top providers that could be integrated into the clients’ website just in several clicks. Since then, the Turnkey package increased its potential dramatically – currently, the casino platform features more than 50 providers, over 3300 casino games, virtual sports, and top live casino options.
As for sportsbook, it already features all primary tournaments, most popular leagues, top sports, and eSports events that are powered by advanced live and pre-match betting algorithms.
Moreover, NuxGame also offers its clients custom-made odds, which is a big advantage for any business that is creating a sports bookmaker brand.
Vision
Currently, NuxGame offers several practical iGaming solutions, including their signature Turnkey package, an API solution based on iframe technology, and a standalone sportsbook solution.
According to the company’s CBDO, “We have great plans for the following year, as we observe a significant rise in sales right now. Both casino and sportsbook platforms are getting regular updates because we see how our work finds recognition in various countries around the globe. This makes us highly optimistic and inspires us to be so enthusiastic when it comes to the development and enhancement of our products. Our goal is to bring to the table the iGaming solutions that define the future of the industry.”

AGCO Requires Ontario Gaming Operators to Stop Offering WBA Bets Due to Integrity Concerns
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has mandated all Ontario-registered sportsbook operators to halt offering and accepting wagers on World Boxing Association (WBA) events immediately. This measure is being taken to protect the Ontario betting public following concerns that WBA-sanctioned boxing matches are not adequately being safeguarded against match-fixing and insider betting.
Since December 2023, the AGCO has been conducting a comprehensive review of suspicious wagering activity on a WBA-sanctioned title fight between Yoenis Tellez and Livan Navarro that was held in Orlando, Florida. Suspicious betting patterns on the bout lasting over 5.5 rounds were reported to the AGCO by two registered independent integrity monitors and detected in Ontario by a registered igaming operator. Media reports also alleged that Tellez’s Manager placed $110,000 on the match lasting longer than 5.5 rounds at a Florida casino. The bout ended with Tellez knocking out Navarro in the 10th round.
Following an intensive review that included outreach to the WBA, Ontario-registered gaming operators, independent integrity monitors, and regulators in other jurisdictions, the AGCO has concluded that bets related to WBA events do not currently meet the Registrar’s Standards for Internet Gaming.
The AGCO requires all Ontario-registered gaming operators to ensure the sport betting products they offer are on events that are effectively supervised by a sport governing body. At a minimum, the sport governing body must have and enforce codes of conduct that prohibit betting by insiders.
Registered gaming operators were unable to demonstrate to the AGCO that the WBA prohibits betting from insiders, which could include an athlete’s coaches, managers, handlers, athletic trainers, medical professionals, or others with access to non-public information. Further, registered gaming operators were unable to demonstrate that the WBA took any action to investigate or enforce the allegations of potential match-fixing and insider wagering.
The AGCO has indicated to registered operators that in order for WBA betting products to be reinstated in Ontario, operators must demonstrate that the WBA effectively supervises its events, thus bringing them into compliance with the Registrar’s Standards. In December 2022, the AGCO required gaming operators to stop offering bets on UFC events for similar issues related to insider betting safeguards. Within a month, UFC amended its policies and implemented new protocols that allowed the AGCO to reinstate betting on UFC events in the province.
“Ontarians who wish to bet on sporting events need to be confident that those events are fairly run, and that clear integrity safeguards are in place and enforced by an effective sport governing body. Knowing the popularity of boxing in Ontario, we look forward to reinstating betting on WBA events once appropriate safeguards against possible match-fixing and insider betting have been confirmed,” Dr. Karin Schnarr, Registrar and CEO of AGCO, said.

GiG increases Ontario market presence, powering the launch of Casino Time
Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG), has announced the launch of Casino Time, powered by its award winning iGaming platform and pioneering real-time rules engine LogicX, with revolutionary sportsbook, SportX soon to follow, to further extend its footprint in the regulated Canadian province of Ontario.
The launch of Casino Time carries extra significance, marking only the second time that on-demand, regulated online Bingo has been made available in Ontario. The new Bingo product vertical, launched alongside a strong Casino offering, will be boosted by GiG’s new sportsbook, SportX, as part of a planned release later this year.
GiG has focused its solutions on driving exponential growth in revenue for operators with its highly scalable iGaming platform, offering localised third party content and leading suppliers for the Ontarian market.

The first and as yet only Canadian province to launch a regulated market, Ontario boasts more than 1.6 million active player accounts spread over 40 plus operators, generating €1.3 billion in Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) in its first year of trading, with this data supplied by iGaming Ontario.
