Popular slots from the developer’s 1X2 gaming and Iron Dog Studio are now live at popular operator who will also launch its first Branded Megaways title

1X2 Network has added another major signing to its team of operator partners after putting pen to paper on a deal that will see it provide content to popular online sportsbook and casino, BoyleSports.

The partnership means that players at BoyleSports will be able to access slots and table games from the provider’s 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio brands for the very first time. This includes player favourites such as Megaways Jack, Battle Maidens Cleopatra and Western Wilds.

The integration, which has been facilitated by Relax Gaming, allows BoyleSports to add quality, proven content to its online casino game portfolio. Each game has been designed to deliver a fun and entertaining experience through striking visuals and authentic sound.

1X2 Network has also built a reputation for developing slots with smart math and innovative mechanics which ensure players remain engaged as the anticipation builds ahead of features triggering and potentially big wins landing.

The deal with BoyleSports also includes one of 1X2 Network’s innovative Branded Megaways title. Branded games already live have topped operator game lobbies for months on end.

The developer’s titles have been certified for launch in key jurisdictions such as the UK, Isle of Man, Malta, Gibraltar, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Colombia and most recently Greece with more due in the coming months.

Steve Payne, Commercial Director at BoyleSports, said: “1X2 Network have been in our plans for a long period as we looked to expand our content offering. Branded Megaway in particular offers us a great opportunity to leverage our brand and put it front and centre in front of customers.

“We’re confident that the branded title, alongside Megaway Jack, Battle Maidens Cleopatra and Western Wilds, will be key successes in a long collaboration.”

Rory Kimber, Account Manager and Marketing Director at 1X2 Network, said: “We’re very pleased to be going live with BoyleSports through the Relax platform. Their customer base is very well suited to our portfolio of content and Branded Megaways is sure to be a monumental success considering the strength of the BoyleSports brand.

“The process has been smooth and fast, and we’re absolutely delighted to be working with Steve and his team going forward.”

BetBlocker launches dedicated Japanese language version of its support tool

UK and US charity, BetBlocker, is dedicated to providing its free and entirely anonymous blocking software in as many languages as possible.  The addition of a Japanese language variant takes the charity closer to its goal of catering to all users in their native tongues.

The team at BetBlocker are thrilled that they have been able to develop several new language versions of their tool in the early part of 2025. Understanding how vital it is to the prevention of gambling harms that users are able to exert control over their gambling habits, BetBlocker fully recognises the need to offer services in its users’ native languages.  To this end, the team will continue to strive to add further language versions in 2025.  In 2020, the figure for native Japanese language speakers amounted to around 123 million people. In 2024, the journal BMC Public Health published the results of a study into the national burden of gambling in Japan and concluded that of 126.8 million Japanese citizens, 39 million had gambled in 2019.  Of that 39 million it was extrapolated that 4.4 million experienced financial harm as a result of gambling. It is, therefore, of vital import that BetBlocker’s gambling management tools be made available in Japanese.

The release of the Japanese version of BetBlocker’s software has only been possible due to the support of Kenta Shintani.  BetBlocker is indebted to Mr. Shintani for taking on this translation project pro bono and thanks him profusely for his philanthropy. There is no doubt that his work will benefit the lives of many Japanese nationals.

Founder and Trustee for BetBlocker, Duncan Garvie, was approached for a comment on this latest language release and he was effusive in his thanks of Mr. Shintani: “BetBlocker has managed to translate its services into many languages and has significantly accelerated the rollout of new language support over the last 6 months. However, the vast majority of our support has been focused on languages originating in Europe.

Being able to extend the service to an important Asian community is a significant milestone for BetBlocker, helping us move towards the truly international ethos that the service has always wanted. We’re very honoured to have the support of civic minded citizens like Mr. Shintani. Their support invariably has a positive impact on hundreds of lives every single day, ensuring that the people of Japan can access the support that blocking software offers.”

In a significant boost for Indian esports, Lokesh Suji has been re-elected unopposed as Vice President for South Asia in the Asian Electronic Sports Federation (AESF) during its recent online Electoral General Assembly in Hong Kong for a four-year term. Holding this position since AESF’s inception, Suji’s re-election highlights India’s growing influence in international esports, reinforcing the Esports Federation of India’s (ESFI) role in shaping the region’s competitive gaming landscape.

The AESF Electoral General Assembly, chaired by outgoing President Kenneth Fok, convened representatives from 38 member nations and OCA Deputy Director General Vinod Tiwari. Thailand’s Santi Lothong secured the AESF Presidency with a simple majority, alongside new Vice Presidents for different Asian zones.

“I am deeply grateful for the continued trust placed in me and extend my sincere thanks to Kenneth (Fok) for his leadership and guidance over the years. I also look forward to working closely with Santi (Lothong) for this next phase. This re-election is not just a personal milestone but a testament to the remarkable growth of esports in India and South Asia. Esports in Asia is entering a defining era, and I am committed to ensuring that our players, federations, and stakeholders receive the recognition, opportunities, and platforms they deserve,” said Lokesh Suji, Vice President, South Asia, of AESF and Director of ESFI.

As Asia’s esports governing body, recognised by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), AESF has been instrumental in getting esports included in Asian Games and hosting major tournaments like the Asian Esports Games 2018 and the Asian Games 2022, featuring top titles such as Dota 2, Street Fighter 6, and FIFA Online. AESF has also been selected as the Technical Delegate for Esports at the 20th Asian Games Aichi-Nagoya 2026.

Commenting on Suji’s re-election, Santi Lothong, the incoming AESF President, said: “Having worked alongside Lokesh for years, I have witnessed his unwavering dedication to developing esports in South Asia and beyond. His leadership, vision, and relentless efforts have helped shape the region’s competitive landscape. I look forward to continuing our collaboration and strengthening esports across Asia under this new leadership phase.”

Kenneth Fok, the outgoing AESF President, added: “Lokesh has been a steadfast pillar in AESF’s journey, always pushing to elevate esports across Asia. His passion and commitment have left a lasting impact, shaping key initiatives and strengthening our community. It’s been a pleasure working alongside him, and I am confident he will continue driving esports forward.”

Under Suji’s leadership, India has made significant strides in esports, with historic medal finishes in the Commonwealth Esports Championship 2022, BRICS Esports Championship and Asian Esports Games and strong performances in the Asian Games 2018 and 2022, where Indian athletes proved their mettle against the world’s best. ESFI is further cementing India’s esports dominance with the WAVES Esports Championship (WESC) —a pioneering initiative that fosters homegrown talent and provides Indian players with an international platform to compete at the highest level. WAVES Esports Championship is one of the ‘Create in India Challenge’ as part of Ministry of Information & Broadcasting’s marque event ‘World Audio Visual & Entertainment Summit’ (WAVES) to be held on 1-4 May 2025, Mumbai.

Recognized by and Member of the International Esports Federation, Asian Esports Federation, and Global Esports Federation, ESFI remains dedicated to strengthening India’s position on the global esports stage.
