iSoftBet, the leading online games supplier and content aggregator, is celebrating its Movember campaign in which the company is raising €10,000 donation for the men’s health charity, as an official partner.

As part of iSoftBet’s commitment to bringing its respect corporate values to life, the supplier set internal activities for its employees to complete throughout November to trigger an impressive €10,000 donation to Movember.

The main event of the month was a 5km charity run in Malta, lead by ultra-runner athlete Steve Sammut Nurminen, in partnership with MeridianBet. A highlight video from the event can be found here.

In addition to this key event, the game and aggregation provider had two ‘Mo’ ambassadors, tasked with growing impressive facial hair throughout the month, alongside smaller rewards for employees that wore moustaches to internal meetings or who got free medical checks.

Movember is the only charity tackling men’s health on a global scale, all year-round. The organisation is addressing some of the biggest health issues faced by men, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention.

iSoftBet vows to assist the charity in having an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health, setting a standard for the industry, and standing in line with its recently established vision under the key pillar of respect.

MeridianBet also extended the charity programme with an additional contribution towards local Malta charity Dar Bjorn, aiming to improve the quality of life of people with ALS, MS and other neurological conditions.

Now active in 21 regulated markets, iSoftBet’s most recent success has been securing approval from Lotería de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (LOTBA) to supply its games to customers and operators in the region, allowing the supplier to reinforce its growing presence across Latin America.

Nir Elbaz, CEO at iSoftBet, said: “Movember is truly a leader in the global fight against health issues faced by men, and its work couldn’t be more important as we recover from one of the most challenging periods in living memory.

“We’re thrilled to be supporting such a worthwhile cause as we approach the festive period and would like to thank our employees for their contributions and support over the past month – we couldn’t have done this without you.”

Stefan Pavlovic, Head of Operations at MeridianBet, said: “iSoftBet is a great commercial partner and we really value their corporate agenda. It is such a meaningful initiative we’ve collaborated on which allows us to support local charity Dar Bjorn.

“Catering to people with ALS, MS and other neurological conditions and aiming to improve the quality of their lives, Dar Bjorn is a truly special cause that deserves all the exposure we can bring to it.”

BGaming Marks the First Anniversary of Viral Hit Aviamasters™ with Record-Breaking Metrics

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming celebrates the first anniversary of the release of its viral casual game, Aviamasters™.  The game has broken multiple records over the last six months and has redefined what players can expect from aviation-inspired casual gaming.

Launched in July 2024, the game has proven to be a viral banger, demonstrating continued growth throughout the year. In the past six months, it has received over 500 million TikTok views, with over 200 new videos being posted daily on the platform. This incredible social media presence, combined with ad campaigns and affiliate strategies, has built a strong community of players around the game.

Beyond its viral popularity, Aviamasters™ distinguishes itself from the aviation-style crash games that have flooded the market in the last couple of years. Its unique physics-based mechanic shifts the focus from avoiding a crash to mastering a successful landing, making Aviamasters™ stand out as both intuitive and deeply engaging for players worldwide.

This unique approach has clearly resonated with players, with Aviamasters™ delivering excellent metrics. The game reported a 740% increase in new players over the course of five months, with a consistent week-on-week growth, including significant increases across Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.

All of this success has also led to strong market demand, with top-tier casinos adapting the product to fit their own brand, including Shuffle’s “Happy Bird” and RainBet’s “Aviamasters™.

Aviamasters™ and BGaming’s full portfolio of products will be on display at the upcoming SBC Lisbon event in September. The BGaming team will be on hand to discuss the game’s success in person and explore the value that other games in its portfolio can deliver, learn more.

 

Kate Puteiko, CMO at BGaming, said: “When we launched Aviamasters™ a year ago, we could have only dreamed about how successful it has been. The game’s viral popularity and strategic value are clear. Not only has it helped establish BGaming as a leading voice in the casual gaming space, but it has also helped our partners attract millions of customers.  We can’t wait to showcase the game, as well as many of our other gaming products, at SBC Lisbon this September.”
