B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming has strengthened its partnership with existing client Betsson by directly integrating its operations through Push’s own RGS.

The extension of the established partnership with the top-tier operator is set to streamline the delivery of Push’s award-winning content and will provide Betsson’s 20-plus brands with all Push’s releases.

Hugely popular titles such as Jammin’ Jars 2, latest release Fat Drac and the upcoming Fire Hopper will be among the games available to players across the operator’s substantial estate, significantly enhancing the supplier’s presence across a variety of markets.

Active in 18 jurisdictions, Betsson provides one of the strongest and most diverse product offerings in Europe. As a result of this direct integration, Push’s content will continue to augment the operator’s quality slot portfolio with its player-first ethos.

Commenting on the release, Fiona Hickey, Head of Sales at Push Gaming said: “Having a high-profile partner such as Betsson make the switch to our platform is a milestone for us. This will allow us to ensure the refined service provision that it expects and aligns perfectly with our forward-looking growth ambitions.

“The player base available to us through this relationship cannot be understated – it hugely strengthens the exposure for our player-favourite content.”

Paul Malt, Head of Games at Betsson added: “We’re rightly proud of the foundations we’ve built at Betsson and the way in which we provide our services to our loyal players. Having the likes of Push Gaming’s titles on our brands only furthers that provision.

“It makes sense to streamline the supply of games directly and we’re looking forward to bringing more of the best in igaming content to regulated European markets.”

The announcement comes on the back of a hugely successful year for Push Gaming, having picked up honours in the recent Casino Beats Game Developer Awards and also being shortlisted for a further four crowns at the prestigious EGR B2B Awards 2021.

Push Gaming continues to build on the growth momentum gained from 2020’s acquisition of an MGA and UKGC-licensed platform and is furthering its expansion ambitions across Europe with several new market entries prepared for the coming months.

Established as one of the industry’s most entertaining suppliers, Push Gaming is live across the majority of Europe’s key regulated markets with the likes of Casumo, LeoVegas, Entain and The Rank Group.

Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, has partnered with StarLadder, a pioneering tournament organiser. The Budapest Major 2025 marks a highly anticipated comeback for StarLadder, as it is their first Counter-Strike Major since 2019 and a significant return to the top-tier esports arena.

As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event. This will empower organisers, teams, sponsors and fans with unparalleled transparency and a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.

Artyom Odintsov, Co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts, said: “We are thrilled and proud to provide viewership analytics for StarLadder for the Budapest Major 2025. Since both Esports Charts and StarLadder are Ukraine-born companies, we share similar values and deal with similar challenges, which brings us even closer.

“It’s genuinely exciting to follow how viewership will develop at this Major. But knowing the expertise, drive, and passion that the organizers are bringing, I have no doubt we’ll witness some incredible things happen in Budapest.

“Esports Charts has always been driven by a mission to provide the esports community with accurate, actionable data, and we look forward to showcasing the impact and audience engagement of this world-class event.”

StarLadder has been a driving force in global esports for almost 15 years now, since hosting its first tournaments in 2011. Renowned for its innovation and reliability, the company has organised some of the industry’s most iconic events. These include the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019, which accumulated over 44 million hours watched and remains in the top 10 CS events by this metric, and the legendary StarSeries tournaments which started back in 2012.

Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Sales and Partnerships at StarLadder, said: “We’ve been working with Esports Charts since their founding and have always valued their professionalism and integrity. In a market where reliable data is essential, Esports Charts provides honest, transparent numbers, exactly the kind of insights sponsors and stakeholders rely on when assessing the potential reach of a World Championship event.

“We’re confident that this partnership will result in a high-quality analysis of our tournament’s performance and the audience data we’ll report to our partners. It’s a collaboration built on trust, shared values, and a deep understanding of what it takes to elevate esports to the next level.”

The Starladder Budapest Major 2025 will be held from November 24 to December 14 in Budapest, Hungary. The event will bring together the world’s top 32 Counter-Strike 2 teams to compete for a $1.25 million prize pool and one of the most prestigious titles in esports.
