Gaming operator ComeOn Group announced the launch of their new product WeSpin – an innovative streamer platform aimed to wow the industry. WeSpin is fully developed in-house by dedicated engineering teams and connected to ComeOn’s proprietary iGaming platform. WeSpin is a one of a kind product innovation that has its heritage dated all the way back to 2015, inspired by office jackpot hunts between colleagues and the rising trend of passionate casino streamers.

WeSpin has led to the development of a whole new ecosystem with the vision to connect the world of gamblers with online gambling through passionate streamers. The product has taken things to the next level by making online casino a more social, eventful, and entertaining experience.

Berkay Reyhan, CCO at ComeOn Group, said: “The great thing about WeSpin is it is bringing the passive audience of the streamers into the heart of the fun by making them buy-in into the streamers pot. Why watch someone else’s activity behind a screen while you could actually be a part of it? This is what WeSpin solves. We also believe that WeSpin will be taking ComeOn to a leading position within our industry’s new streamer acquisition channel, by the benefits that it offers to all the streamers out there, which goes beyond the standard practices of traditional affiliate marketing.”

WeSpin is helping ComeOn Group reach players on streaming services in a new and innovative way, directly converting players who want to participate in events that streamers facilitate, tapping directly into a new player demographic of young casino streaming enthusiasts. The product bridges the gap between operator and customer, which leaves room to take part in players winning and having fun.

What’s more to the product is that WeSpin has a boost tool, which enables game providers to sponsor events for exclusivity. This aims to promote new releases but also their existing game portfolio directly to customers in the casino. Sponsored money is added directly to events and streamers can invite their audience to participate in free events and events with add on, increasing affiliate conversion rates and bringing the streamers viewer rates to new all time highs. Streamers can set up events like, bonus hunt, jackpot hunt, bonus buy events and streamers choice – adding to the richness of the product. Game providers like NetEnt, Microgaming, Push Gaming, Yggdrasil and Playtech have joined in to sponsor events through our new boost tool to attract focus on their new releases and get players involved in their most prominent games.

WeSpin has on-boarded some of the biggest streamer profiles in the industry and their reviews have been overwhelmingly positive.

Anton Jirout, also known as Konnabonus said:”I’ve really enjoyed hosting group plays with the Wespin feature. I’ve gotten many new viewers to my twitch stream just by working with comeon. Wespin is by far the best place to host group plays as a streamer. What I like the most about comeon and Wespin is the easy interface, constant improval of the wespin feature and not to forget the fantastic affiliate managers. It’s also been great playing at comeon due to their amazing game selection and my viewers absolutely love it! The boost tool is great fun! People really like to participate in groups that also give something extra. What I’ve noticed works the best is to run a bonus hunt with the new boost feature, that really works with my community as it increases the chances to end up with a positive balance and a cashout”

Daniel Natvig, also known as Kongebonus, said:”The Wespin sessions we have had are by far the streams we have with most attention and the biggest audience. It is easy to see that a lot of viewers like the idea that we can all play together. Wespin has taken streaming and the community-feeling to a whole new level and that is also why we want to keep going with it. The best thing about it is that we actually can have certain events at certain times. We enjoy that we have different and multiple events in one night and the diversity of it”

GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline received a record 55,228 calls and online chats from people experiencing gambling harm in 2023-24 – a 25% increase from the previous year – according to the charity’s Annual Report.

In a year marked by uncertainty over the future shape and structure of the gambling harms treatment sector following the previous government’s white paper on gambling reform, the charity continued to prioritise those at-risk of, or currently experiencing, gambling harm.

Of all calls and online chats that were responded to on GamCare’s Helpline in 2023/24, 41,070 (74%) were classed as supportive interventions. This includes supporting people with initial guidance and advice as well as delivering a seamless entry point into structured treatment services, with individuals completing treatment reporting a significant reduction in gambling-related distress and financial harm.

In March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities published an assessment of the gambling treatment system, highlighting that 57% of individuals engaging in treatment were referred by the National Gambling Helpline. This underscores the Helpline’s critical role in connecting people to the support they need. Over 9,100 free treatment sessions were delivered in the year to April 2024, with an average of just 2.1 days’ wait from point of referral.

GamCare’s targeted programmes aimed at young people, women, and the criminal justice system provided training on how to spot the signs of harms and where to signpost into support for 10,344 professionals, and education for 53,324 young people, children and parents. The Women’s Programme, in partnership with organisations such as Refuge, trained 3,813 professionals to recognise and address gambling-related harm among women.

Margot Daly, Executive Chair of GamCare’s Board, says: “Throughout a challenging year and with heightened demand for our services, GamCare’s staff have got on with the job of preventing harm where possible and treating harm where necessary. While we expect important changes in the gambling harms landscape, we have been determined not to let this uncertainty affect our relentless focus on the people who really matter – those at-risk of or currently experiencing gambling harms.

“I would like to thank and pay tribute to our frontline staff who provide 24/7 support for all those at risk or in distress. I also want to thank GamCare’s senior executive team who have steered GamCare through a period of sustained change, and to my fellow trustees for their guidance, unwavering support and the time each has dedicated to ensuring that the charity stays on course and on mission.

“As we look ahead to how the future of the gambling harms sector is shaped, we are committed to working proactively with the NHS and other partners and commissioners to ensure that people are continually able to receive the right support at the right time.”
