Hajper, one of ComeOn Group’s most successful brands, have teamed up with ambassador and Padel enthusiast Patric Persson in a grandiose effort to raise money for this year’s Musikhjälpen.

Musikhjälpen is a Swedish donation drive that takes place every year in December and aims to shed light on a current humanitarian crisis. Padel profile Patric Persson, also front figure of Hajper, has set up his own donation drive that aims to raise 1 million SEK this year. Musikhjälpens theme this year is “A world without child labor” where the core message is that every child deserves a safe childhood. The organisation reports that child labor is continously increasing and has about 160 million reported cases where children are forced to work. With the efforts and donations coming through Musikhjälpen, the organisation hope to contribute to free schooling and pave way for children staying in school, which is the way to decrease child labor. The funds will be used to educate and influence children and parents but also authorities and governments in affected areas to increase the knowledge around child labor.

ComeOn Group and Hajper has taken an active stand to support the cause as a part of their global Corporate Social Responsibility efforts. In relation to the donation drive there will be an event on the 17th of December sponsored by Hajper, joined by 32 famous profiles ranging from former national football team players such as Andreas Isaksson and Johan Olsson, DJ’s like John de Sohn and Entrepreneurs such as the founder of Icaniwill and Clean, Gustaf Ollas and Hugo Rosas but also player profiles and poker legends. The event is a Padel tournament as all the participating profiles are equally enthusiastic in the sport as Patric Persson, which lays well as the event will be taking place at Ultimate Padel in Upplands Väsby, Stockholm. The whole event will be streamed live and can be accessed through Patric Persson’s YouTube.

Last year Musikhjälpen raised 48 million SEK in total. This year Hajper will double all individual donations made during the live stream event through Patric’s donation drive up to 500 000 SEK. This means that if the donation drive reaches 500 000 SEK and over, the event will contribute more than 1 million SEK in total. If Musikhjälpen manages to raise the same total amount as last year, that 1 million donation will equal more than 2% of the total money raised.

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has released Oath of Steel, a moody, battle-driven slot that captures the raw intensity of knights locked in combat beneath storm-filled skies.

Set in a storm-soaked battlefield of iron masks and glowing castle windows, Oath of Steel brings players into a world where survival outweighs glory. With a moody visual style and heavy sound design, the game trades grandeur for grit, delivering a volatile experience with serious win potential.

Oath of Steel features a suite of engaging mechanics. The Wild symbol stands as the highest-paying symbol in the game, doubling as a substitute for regular symbols to support winning combinations. Meanwhile, landing three or more Scatters triggers a unique bonus round, where players select one of five Stacked symbols to boost their chances during Free Spins.

Adding to the tension, +1 Spin symbols can appear during the bonus mode, extending the round one spin at a time. For those ready to dive into the heart of the battle, a Bonus Buy option offers instant access to the Free Spins feature with a chosen number of Scatters.

Combining bold creative direction with player-focused mechanics, Oath of Steel stands out as a high-impact slot designed to capture attention and keep the reels spinning.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said:Oath of Steel is all about building an atmosphere that sticks with you. We did not want a polished fantasy; we wanted something heavier, more grounded, and sharper in tone.

“From the audiovisual execution to the feature structure, this release was built to immerse and challenge. It is a game that asks players to step into the fight and stay there.”

SYNOT Games, a leading developer of cutting-edge casino games and solutions, has officially entered the Argentinian iGaming market through a strategic partnership with Betsson, one of the most established and globally recognized operators in the industry. 

This collaboration marks SYNOT Games‘ debut in Argentina and signals a significant step in the company’s ongoing expansion across Latin America. By joining forces with Betsson, SYNOT Games reinforces its commitment to working exclusively with trusted partners in regulated markets.

Entering Argentina with a partner like Betsson is a proud moment for us,” said Martina Krajčí, Chief Commercial Officer at SYNOT Games.

Latin America is a rapidly growing region in the iGaming space, and Argentina stands out for its dynamism and regulatory maturity. We’re excited to offer our premium portfolio to a new audience and deepen our footprint in LatAm.”

Sarah Micallef, Head of Global Gaming Operations at Betsson Group, also expressed enthusiasm: “We are pleased to welcome SYNOT Games to our portfolio in Argentina. Our focus has always been to offer our players top-tier content in every market we operate. SYNOT’s games meet our high standards for quality and entertainment, and we are confident they will resonate well with our Argentinian audience.”

Argentina’s online gambling sector has experienced significant growth in recent years, particularly following the 2021 regulatory shift that enabled provinces to license operators independently. Buenos Aires, both the city and the province, has become a focal point for major international brands, offering a regulated and competitive market environment that is ideal for industry expansion.

The deal strengthens SYNOT Games‘ positioning in Latin America, aligning with the company’s strategic roadmap of sustainable growth and responsible gaming in fully licensed jurisdictions. With an existing presence in Brazil and Colombia, this move into Argentina further consolidates SYNOT Games’ commitment to expanding across the most dynamic and regulated iGaming markets in the region.
