ORYX Gaming, a Bragg Gaming Group company (NASDAQ: BRAG, TSX: BRAG), has expanded its reach in the UK market after going live with Novibet.

Exclusive titles from GAMOMAT and Peter & Sons, as well as games developed by ORYX’s in-house studio can now be accessed by Novibet’s UK customers. Egyptian Magic, the debut title from soon-to-be launched studio Atomic Slot Lab, powered by Bragg, will also be made available to local players.

The launch comes hot on the heels of ORYX receiving its UK license in November, enabling it to provide its content to leading brands in the large and established market.

The total addressable market (TAM) for the online casino sector in the UK in 2022 is projected to be approximately US $5.9bn (£4.4bn) according to H2 Gambling Capital, making it the largest regulated iGaming market in the world.

The partnership with Novibet has also seen ORYX launch its content with the brand in Greece where the operator holds a leading position, and with other regulated markets set to follow next year.

Chris Looney, Chief Commercial Officer at Bragg, said: “We are very excited to introduce our content to a new audience in the UK, a market where we have big ambitions and that offers great potential and growth opportunities.

“Our partnership with Novibet is going from strength to strength and we are excited to bolster our collaboration in 2022 by launching in additional markets.”

Yannis Xirotyris, Chief Commercial Officer at Novibet, said: “We are delighted to feature ORYX’s diverse content in the UK and we are confident our customers will enjoy the thrill and entertainment its games offer. In ORYX we have a reliable partner that we can trust will continue to deliver premium games that our customers love to play.”

In response to recent questions around the presence of non-Gamstop casino content on our platform, HIPTHER would like to clarify its editorial stance. While such articles were accepted as part of past collaborations, we do not endorse gambling among self-excluded individuals, and these posts do not reflect our future publishing direction. As a global B2B media company, our commitment remains firmly rooted in ethical content, industry transparency, and responsible gambling advocacy.


A Note on Our Editorial Policy Regarding Non-Gamstop Content

Recently, we published a limited number of articles that referenced non-Gamstop casinos — platforms operating outside the UK’s regulatory framework. While these were accepted as part of wider editorial collaborations, we want to clarify our stance.

HIPTHER does not promote gambling to individuals under self-exclusion, nor is our target audience UK-based players. We are a global B2B media organization covering international markets and industry developments.

That said, we recognize the sensitivity around content related to non-UKGC platforms — particularly in the context of responsible gambling. We’ve reviewed the matter internally and have decided:

✅ We will not be publishing similar content in the future.
✅ We will be updating any existing articles with clear disclaimers and responsible gambling resources.
✅ We remain committed to ethical coverage and transparency in everything we publish.

Our focus continues to be on highlighting innovation, regulation, and forward-thinking trends in the gaming industry — across Europe, the Americas, and beyond. Player safety matters, and we believe media has a role to play in setting higher standards.

The HIPTHER Editorial Team


We Welcome Dialogue

We remain open to feedback and collaboration with partners, readers, and stakeholders who share our values around ethical industry coverage and player protection. For comments or inquiries, please contact us.
