In-demand software providers strengthen their position in the nascent Dutch market by offering full suite of games via Relax Gaming platform

Following hot on the heels of their partnership deal with BetCity.nl this month, slot innovators Stakelogic have announced they will be reinforcing their position in the Dutch iGaming market by offering games at the Play North’s New Dutch Brand BataviaCasino.nl.

Having established themselves as one of the most sought-after software providers on the market, Stakelogic will make their full suite of games available at bataviacasino.nl through their previously-established partnership deal with Play North Ltd. & Relax Gaming, who will provide the site’s gaming infrastructure.

The deal between Stakelogic and BataviaCasino.nl is the second agreement with a company with a new Dutch license that has been unveiled by the group in the past week – and with the Dutch iGaming market only recently opening up for operators, it further cements their intention to take the country by storm.

Needless to say, the new deal means that Dutch customers will now have access to Stakelogic’s impressive catalogue of games, including much-anticipated upcoming releases such as Apes of Doom and Joker Drop, both of which are scheduled to debut over the next few weeks.

Additionally, players at bataviacasino.nl will also be able to find Stakelogic’s full range of classic slots and premium releases, with the former offering them retro, fruit-themed fun and rewarding bonus features while the latter introduces them to innovative payline technology and unique game modes.

The most notable of these of these patented Stakelogic gameplay additions is, of course, Super StakeTM. An optional feature that can be purchased by players who double their current bet, Super StakeTM can be found across a wide range of slots and provides access to additional incentives such as extra wilds and scatters symbols, as well as enabling players to buy directly into the bonus round in some cases.

Available on popular games such as Midas Wilds, 9 Pyramids of Fortune and Extreme MegawaysTM, Super StakeTM is an exciting new addition for Netherlands players and will help to further distinguish Stakelogic slots from the rest of the competition as they make their mark on the new Dutch market.

Olga Bajela, CCO at Stakelogic said: “We’re delighted to have agreed a new partnership deal with bataviacasino.nl that will bring our full suite of games to Netherlands players via the Relax Gaming platform. The move emphasises our intention to make Stakelogic the go-to software provider for Dutch online casinos and further strengthens our position in this rapidly developing market.”

Patrick Azzopardi, Director at Play North added: “We want BataviaCasino.nl to provide an unrivalled online gaming experience to Dutch players – and the best way to do that is by teaming up with the world’s premier software providers. By offering Stakelogic slots at bataviacasino.nl, we’ll be giving our players access to a great collection of games packed with exciting concepts and rewarding features.”

A chaotic jungle journey with big, bad foes and insane riches.

Welcome to the jungle, where Shoot Happens! Face your opponent, take aim, and fire your way to riches.

ELA Games unveils its boldest title to date, a combination of decision-making and narrative progression where every shot counts.

In Shoot Happens, you’re not just a player. You’re the main character who has to fend off waves of increasingly dangerous (and valuable) monsters. Armed with 3 shots per round, you’ll need precision and calm nerves to take down the reward and add it to your Winpot. Hit the target for riches. Miss… and it’s back to the beginning.

The Choice Is Yours

Each round is in the hands of the player. Do you cash out now? Or keep slashing through the jungle for bigger and better rewards? Decision-making, timing, and a whole load of guts go a long way.

Expect the Unexpected

Random projectile bonuses can appear in any round, boosting your rewards massively. And just when you thought your journey through the treacherous jungle was over, the final boss appears. While the other monsters may have been a piece of cake, he doesn’t stay down. Each time you defeat him, he respawns for juicier and recurring payouts. Keep going as long as you can handle it, and you might walk out as the top dog of the jungle.

Marharyta Yerina, ELA Games’ Managing Director, commented on the game’s release, “With Shoot Happens, the team ventured outside of conventional game formats, and we wanted to give players a super engaging experience where they’re in control. This title is a bold approach to game design in this industry, as we’re empowering players with choice and enriching the gameplay experience with strong visuals, narratives, and plenty of replayability.”

Play how you want. The Winpot is yours

Shoot Happens is the perfect blend of fast-paced action, bold decision-making, and interactive gameplay. Whether you’re a cautious player or a complete daredevil, the game is an enticing experience for all.

How deep into the jungle are you willing to go?

AGA Research Reveals Consumers Know Sweepstakes Casinos are Gambling

Published

As gaming regulators, state Attorneys General, and state legislatures continue to scrutinize the business practices of online “sweepstakes” casinos, new research shows that consumers overwhelmingly use these platforms to gamble – and that sweepstakes operators are heavily targeting players in key states. By exploiting loopholes in the law, these operations undermine the integrity of the legal, regulated gaming marketplace.

According to Sensor Tower data compiled by the American Gaming Association (AGA), half of all online, real-money casino advertisements seen by consumers in early 2025 promoted offshore “sweepstakes” casinos. The data shows these unregulated operators concentrate their advertising in populous states.

“These operators present themselves like legal, regulated platforms – but they operate outside the law and regulation. There are few if any responsible gaming tools, no regulatory oversight, and no consumer protections. It’s a dangerous subterfuge that puts players at real risk,” said AGA Vice President of Government Relations, Tres York.

Despite operating outside the regulated gaming market, “sweepstakes” casinos are widely perceived by players as gambling platforms, with 68% of users saying their primary reason for playing is to win real money. This confusion is no accident – many of these sites mimic the look, feel, and language of legal operators, blurring the line for consumers and reinforcing the need for clearer enforcement and public education.

Key findings include:

• 90% of sweepstakes casino users consider the activity to be gambling.

• 69% describe sweepstakes casinos as places to wager real money.

• 80% of sweepstakes players spend monthly, and nearly half spend weekly, without the safety nets offered by regulated operators.

The number of monthly sweepstakes casino players is twice as high in states lacking sweepstakes prohibitions.

“Sweepstakes” casinos aggressively market on popular digital platforms throughout the country. Legal, regulated gaming operators, by contrast, advertise responsibly in legal states where consumer protections and regulatory oversight are in place.

“The data is clear. Consumers see right through the ‘sweepstakes’ casino facade and they’re calling it what it is: gambling. We look forward to policymakers continuing to enforce their laws and create clarity through new policy measures to protect their residents,” added York.

MGCB Issues Cease-and-Desist Orders to Six Illegal Gambling Sites Targeting Michigan Players

The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has issued cease-and-desist letters to six unlicensed online gambling platforms attempting to target Michigan residents without state authorization. The action underscores the MGCB’s relentless, ongoing efforts to shut down illegal gambling operations and protect Michigan consumers from financial risk, identity theft, and unfair play.

The targeted sites—Crypto Slots, NitroBetting, NewVegas, Las Vegas USA Casino, Grand Rush Casino, and Slotgard Casino—were found to be operating in violation of Michigan laws that require licensure for internet gaming and sports betting.

“These sites were attempting to exploit Michigan players while operating outside the law. We take this seriously. When unauthorized operators offer games without regulation, Michigan players are left exposed—and we will not tolerate it,” said Henry Williams, MGCB Executive Director.

This enforcement action is part of the MGCB’s larger crackdown on illegal online gambling platforms. In recent months, the agency has issued numerous cease-and-desist letters, with additional investigations currently underway.

The MGCB continues to monitor online gaming activity and urges the public to be cautious when engaging with gambling content on social media or through digital advertisements.
