2021 will also see the studio release five new titles with new features, all incorporating the hugely popular PopWins can expand the rows of a slot from four to seven, increasing the ways to win from 243 to 33,614.

This year also marks the first time that AvatarUX will make available the possibility to license its proprietary technology, allowing other studios to purchase the right to use its PopWins mechanic.

A partner studio of Yggdrasil’s YG Masters program, the provider continues their partnership with Yggdrasil and prides itself on taking things to the next level by means of its immersive gameplay and cutting-edge designed games.

Marcus Honney, Managing Director at AvatarUX, said: “2020 saw several highlights for us with the launches of our successful PopWins, and our biggest ever win when we released BountyPop, with one lucky player winning SEK1.7m.

“It has given us a fantastic foundation to build on as we look to reach new heights and we have already started 2021 with two great distribution agreements that will see us expand our reach towards Asian operators. It is a thrilling time for AvatarUX with a significant amount of work in the pipeline and we are very excited for the year ahead.”

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.”
