Rootz LTD Celebrates Launch of Third Online Casino
Innovative online casino operator Rootz LTD is celebrating the launch of its third online casino.
Wheelz Casino follows hot on the heels of breakout brand, Wildz and last year’s eagerly awaited release, Caxino, building on the roaring success of its sister sites.
Promising to deliver uncharted levels of player customisation, Wheelz is built on Rootz’s own powerful gaming platform that allows for seamless navigation and the provision of real-time rewards, wrapped in a colourful and engaging interface.
Since debuting with flagship brand, Wildz in 2019, the developer has been recognised for their rapid ascent through numerous industry award nominations. With their third portfolio addition, the veteran crew is hoping to wow even more online casino enthusiasts by leveraging machine learning that has proved so successful with previous ventures, fine-tuned over the course of several years.
In-house smart systems comprise an essential component in Rootz’s toolkit, with their influence felt across all key areas of the business, such as AML and Rewards. Payment times at Wheelz are also some of the fastest in the industry, supported by robust processes developed over time.
As to the face of the brand, there is one recent revelation that is giving the Malta-based operator particular cause for excitement.
Rootz has agreed to partner up with showbiz legend David Hasselhoff – of Baywatch and Knight Rider fame, to act as Wheelz brand ambassador.
“The Hoff”, as he is affectionately known in circles worldwide, is expected to return to his acting roots as the star of Wheelz TV ads, and the collaboration will even see the Hollywood megastar Hoff feature in his own dedicated bonus games at Wheelz. The Hoff admits to feeling at home in the casino environment, even telling Wheelz: “If I had to pick a favourite casino game, it would definitely be craps.”
Hasselhoff may be happy to hear his favourite game, plus a host of other dealer-dealt live streamed table games, are on offer at Wheelz – along with hundreds of popular video slot titles. As he has done throughout life, the star will be looking to bring his own brand of cool to the party at Wheelz, stating: “That word ‘cool’, is a real big word to me.”
Pulling off a major coup in the capture of Hasselhoff, the trailblazers at Rootz are confident they’ve acquired arguably the biggest global star ever to represent an MGA-accredited online casino. As yet there has been no word on whether The Hoff will be travelling to Malta as part of his obligations, but the situation was left marked ‘watch this space’ by a Rootz representative when pressed.
Wheelz.com is an online casino operated by Rootz LTD with MGA license number MGA/B2C/599/2018.

Neosurf & Betting Hero to reveal results of their in-depth study into US online gambling and payment habits in exclusive two-part webinar series
Neosurf, the globally trusted provider of swift and secure cash-to-digital payment solutions, has announced it will be sharing the findings of a recent study into the online betting habits, preferences and frustrations of US players in an exclusive two-part webinar series beginning on January 14th.
Neosurf commissioned the research via Betting Hero – a leading US-based iGaming portal with expertise in casino, sports betting and DFS. The webinars will see Neosurf CEO Americas, Sue Page, Betting Hero’s Co-Founder and President, Jai Maw, and Senior Director of Product and Research, Ernie Ropas, dive into the report’s key findings and discuss what some of the more surprising results could mean for operators.
The survey, which featured respondents from New Jersey, Colorado and North Carolina, aimed to help operators and regulators within the gambling industry better understand the typical US bettor – how and why they bet, what tools they use to manage their budget and what Responsible Gaming means to them. The findings will be revealed in the webinars and used to identify areas where Neosurf’s products can help operators provide a better user experience.
The research highlighted several aspects of payments and responsible gaming that bettors felt could be improved. Problems with payments remain an issue – 52% of respondents said that they’d experienced payment issues in the past year, and with over 50% depositing and withdrawing multiple times each month, there is a significant cost impact to the operators.
Additionally, respondents indicated they’d be in favour of using a service that could share pre-verified ID information with operators, with ease of use for new payment methods and seamless integration across multiple platforms identified as important factors in their choosing and remaining loyal to a single sports betting platform.
Sue Page, Neosurf CEO Americas, said: “It was important to us to gain a more detailed insight into the US sports bettor. We wanted to talk to the players and ask questions that no one else is asking, and through our collaboration with Betting Hero I’m delighted that we now have a comprehensive piece of research.
“Offering valuable insights into player habits – how and why they bet, the ongoing pain points they’re experiencing with payments and their thoughts on Responsible Gaming—we’ll be taking a deep dive into the results of the survey in our two-part webinar series starting at 10:00 ET on January 14th, and we encourage all US-focused operators and regulators to join us.”
