PRAGMATIC PLAY CONTINUES TO RAISE THE BAR BY GIVING AWAY €1,000,000 PER MONTH THROUGH THEIR POWERHOUSE DROPS & WINS PROMOTION
Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the iGaming industry, will keep delivering consistent prizes to players as its powerhouse promotion Drops & Wins continues with a winter edition. Players and operators will be delighted to hear that the staggering prize pool of €1,000,000 per month is being maintained.
The Drops and Wins promotion was created by Pragmatic Play and is one of the largest prize pools ever fully sponsored by a game provider. The prize pool is split 50/50 between Slots and Live Casino. The winter edition takes place from the 17th November to the 9th February as Pragmatic Play has no intention of stopping the promotion that represents their relentless commitment to take player entertainment to the next level.
The winter edition of Drops and Wins brings a huge upgrade as Pragmatic Play is now including the Prize Drops feature in all Live Casino titles. Prize Drop mechanics can reward players completely at random as they place real-money qualifying bets in any of the games. The ‘anytime, anywhere’ nature of Prize Drops will now add a new layer of excitement to Pragmatic Play’s already innovative Live Casino portfolio.
Prize Drops is a very popular in-game promotional tool for Pragmatic Play’s iconic Slot favourites such as such as The Dog House Megaways along with new releases such as Gates of Olympus, but it is completely unique for Live Casino games across the whole industry.
This means that the most hotly anticipated Pragmatic Play Live Casino release of the year will have Prize Drops available for players. Sweet Bonanza CandyLand is the Live Casino version of the hugely successful candy-themed slot Sweet Bonanza Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “The Drops and Wins feature has been well received by both players and operators since its inception. The idea behind Drops and Wins was simple but profound, we tried to give players more of the feeling they seek when playing our games, the winning feeling. By adding Prize Drops to our Live Casino offering, we feel this brings another dimension of excitement to this great product.
Sweet Bonanza Candyland is going to turn some heads for sure when it launches in November, and by including Prize Drops, we are aiming to make a great product even better.”
Pragmatic Play currently produces up to five new Slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through one single API.

Esports betting in the United States is a yet to be fully tapped, and with more regulatory progress the total market and opportunity in esports continues to grow.
It’s why at PandaScore, we recently acquired our first license in the lucrative American market, in the esports-friendly state of Colorado. The move is a strong signal of our ambition in the US, but it also sets out our methodology for solving the uncertainty problem that US esports betting currently suffers from.
Supplier licensing should lead the way
The unknowns about what markets and lines can be offered are a key piece of the puzzle in many jurisdictions. Uncertainty around the legislation means operators are tentative to jump in with both feet. At PandaScore, we’re helping operators navigate US esports betting regulation on a state-by-state basis, so they can make business led decisions in markets with right balance of stability and opportunity.
Except for a few states, esports betting regulation is relatively new: there’s not a great deal of precedent to work from, and its quickly evolving nature means there’s likely more work to be done in the future. We plan to be at the forefront of making sure that esports betting works for the whole ecosystem: operators, suppliers, regulators and the betting public.
The regulatory framework across the country may be shifting at different paces, but almost all states are going in one direction: expansion.
Esports suppliers have a duty to show operators the way and give them the tools, knowledge and expertise to make the right decision. We don’t believe in going all guns blazing, but entering markets with some certainty around esports in a considered fashion.
We can be more confident that those specific markets are built for esports, with Colorado being PandaScore’s first step for several reasons.
Why Colorado
When deciding which market to enter, we consulted heavily with our customers and whittled it down to states that had the right mix of commercial opportunity, solid regulatory environment and straightforwardness in licensing.
Since regulating esports, Colorado has had a friendly framework for esports. The catalogue for regular betting includes a wide range of esports titles based on approved games and tournaments by the publisher or regulator – which follows some similarities to how traditional sports betting is structured.
The process itself was simple and clear, with clear terms and commercials that promote investment, entrepreneurship and innovation – all key ingredients for growing new markets and ambitious organisations to build new audiences.
Colorado is the natural next step in PandaScore’s service-minded, client-first approach. There’s already a generation of bettors who are seeking out esports betting products, esports suppliers need to be the source of knowledge and expertise that helps guide and amplify the esports ambitions of their clients.
Service-minded approach, client-led growth
We bring operators into the licensing conversation from the outset, exploring the licenses most valuable to them and then leveraging our lean, efficient operating model to get it done.
We’ve proven we’re serious about the US market, and that we can get a license efficiently, so if an operator desires a specific jurisdiction, we base our decisions on the revenue potential, give them a clear, no-spin picture of the market, and put in the hard work of licensing to provide our services in the US.
Player age verification as a mandatory service
A huge part of that no-spin picture is addressing the concern and risk around player age verification in esports. Compliance is paramount for suppliers and operators alike, so knowing the requirements from state to state is essential.
PandaScore has been offering player age verification for years and is well established on this front thanks to years of servicing jurisdictions like Australia and Sweden. We already have an API that clients use for peace of mind, and are beefing it up as a standalone service intended to support regulators and governing bodies to ensure compliance, confidence and growth.
Suppliers need to lead from the front for US esports betting to succeed. It’s not just about having the best product – they need to be an expert on relevant regulation, genuinely serve the expansion interests of clients and be a truly safe pair of hands that actively supports and serves operators, bettors and regulators alike.

Sports betting technology specialist Checkd Dev, part of award-winning Checkd Group, have expanded their Smart Acca product distribution, with their first launch in Africa, working with 888Africa.
The latest product launched by the Manchester-based company, their first release in the African market, aims to innovate the football accumulator betting experience across the continent with Smart ACCA’s launch initially coming in Angola and Zambia, before being rolled out across the rest of 888A’s African websites throughout the 2024-25 football season.

Taking into account betting habits of the African betting market, the tool presents appealing short odds betting opportunities that are supported by Opta data visualisation covering key metrics such as form in easily digestible graphics.
The Smart ACCA combines both the established self-serve accumulator builder UI design and is accompanied by a carousel of automated accumulator bets, all supported by official Opta data and created using Checkd’s ‘Automated Betting Solution’, the pre-canned bets are one-click add to betslip to provide seamless betting.
The latest product launch from Checkd Dev follows on from the launch of Paddy Power’s Mix ’N Match bet building tool, the Boxing News app and Checkd Dev’s Smart Acca iFrame product, which is licensed for use by top-tier operators like William Hill and Sky Bet.
Checkd Commercial Director, Andrew Grimshaw said: “We’re delighted to expand on our established UK Tier 1 Operator client base by working with such an experienced team like 888 Africa.
“We’re excited to continue Checkd Dev’s growth into multiple new emerging markets with this our first in Africa and working in a partnership with a team that really cares about improving customer experience has been very rewarding.
“As part of the first phase of roll out, the Smart ACCA product for Angola has been translated into Portuguese, with full translation capabilities there’s clearly further opportunity to deliver this into other betting territories.”
888Africa’s Trading Director, Ian Marmion said: “Working with Checkd has been a pleasure and their innovative product aligns well with brand values that we feel are vital in terms of offering best odds and potentially life changing betting opportunities at ease for our growing recreational customer base.”
