QTech Games bolsters its elite suite with S4Gaming
Asia’s leading distributor enhances its premium offering with content from an emerging force in video bingo
QTech Games, the number-one games distributor across Asia and all emerging markets, has penned its latest top-tier provider partnership with S4Gaming, enabling its platform customers to access the supplier’s multi-faceted slots and video-bingo offering.
Barcelona-based S4Gaming is able to draw from a deep well of breakout games, including popular titles such as Gran National 20, La Mina 20, Multidragon, Pesero, Safari Race, and many more. These games now all form part of the progressive portfolio made available to QTech Games and its clients.
S4Gaming boasts a comprehensive catalogue, ably backed by an experienced team that combines for 15 years of deep know-how in a developing digital market across many successful projects. Its cornerstone philosophy hinges strongly around innovation, providing creative ideas to improve every aspect of the UX.
As a result, integrating this ever-evolving production line emphasizes QTech Games’ diverse range of gaming options, providing a definitive one-stop shop, QTech ONE™, which has fast-become the “go-to” solution for worldwide operators across developing territories.
The agreement naturally broadens S4Gaming’s geographic footprint, targeting emerging markets from Asia and Eastern Europe to Latin America, and driving fresh revenue streams. As the fastest-growing distributor in Asia over the past few years, QTech’s platform offers the most expansive gaming suite around, localised for each region, with native mobile apps, powerful reporting and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.
Unlike many other verticals, bingo initially struggled to adapt products to mobile and its smaller screen interface, losing its lines for invention. However, now S4Gaming is capitalising on the enormous potential within bingo to deliver an engaging, socially-led product that can win back the market share conceded to other gaming sectors.
This opportunity for innovation lies, above all, in the domain of huge jackpots which offer the small-stakes-huge-return scenarios that reliably keep players coming back for more. In short, by combining forces, S4Gaming and QTech Games are managing to put a new spin on an old classic.
QTech Games CCO, Ulf Norder, said: “It’s another resounding endorsement of our platform to have integrated more premium content from S4Gaming. Their expanding video-bingo library is an engaging vertical in and of itself, delivering another dimension to our gaming-vertical spread, courtesy of some high-quality graphics, responsible gameplay and unique features.
“Together, we will continue to raise the bar and shape a localised experience for global players. We can’t wait to see how these games compete across a range of unexplored markets which, in many instances, will break new ground for S4Gaming.
“There’s no reason for the social aspect of bingo to be impacted in the transition to mobile. In fact, its surging popularity among millennials should only propel the return of this timeless game. Millennials are naturally better set up to adapt in these technological times. They also regard gambling itself as a recreational leisure pursuit. The key is to maintain and evolve a progressive product portfolio. And if it’s accompanied by a towering jackpot, well, so much the better, as S4 has already proved.
Santiago López de Lamadrid, CEO at S4Gaming, added: “QTech Games is a hotbed for superior games and a rarefied air for the player experience. We are widening our scope across developing regions and their market-leading platform provides an agile pathway to some previously overlooked territories.
“Needless to say, agreeing this new deal tracks our core strategy to fully leverage our reach, and we look forward to seeing how new audiences embrace our games.”

AGA Research Reveals Consumers Know Sweepstakes Casinos are Gambling

As gaming regulators, state Attorneys General, and state legislatures continue to scrutinize the business practices of online “sweepstakes” casinos, new research shows that consumers overwhelmingly use these platforms to gamble – and that sweepstakes operators are heavily targeting players in key states. By exploiting loopholes in the law, these operations undermine the integrity of the legal, regulated gaming marketplace.
According to Sensor Tower data compiled by the American Gaming Association (AGA), half of all online, real-money casino advertisements seen by consumers in early 2025 promoted offshore “sweepstakes” casinos. The data shows these unregulated operators concentrate their advertising in populous states.
“These operators present themselves like legal, regulated platforms – but they operate outside the law and regulation. There are few if any responsible gaming tools, no regulatory oversight, and no consumer protections. It’s a dangerous subterfuge that puts players at real risk,” said AGA Vice President of Government Relations, Tres York.
Despite operating outside the regulated gaming market, “sweepstakes” casinos are widely perceived by players as gambling platforms, with 68% of users saying their primary reason for playing is to win real money. This confusion is no accident – many of these sites mimic the look, feel, and language of legal operators, blurring the line for consumers and reinforcing the need for clearer enforcement and public education.
Key findings include:
• 90% of sweepstakes casino users consider the activity to be gambling.
• 69% describe sweepstakes casinos as places to wager real money.
• 80% of sweepstakes players spend monthly, and nearly half spend weekly, without the safety nets offered by regulated operators.
The number of monthly sweepstakes casino players is twice as high in states lacking sweepstakes prohibitions.
“Sweepstakes” casinos aggressively market on popular digital platforms throughout the country. Legal, regulated gaming operators, by contrast, advertise responsibly in legal states where consumer protections and regulatory oversight are in place.
“The data is clear. Consumers see right through the ‘sweepstakes’ casino facade and they’re calling it what it is: gambling. We look forward to policymakers continuing to enforce their laws and create clarity through new policy measures to protect their residents,” added York.

MGCB Issues Cease-and-Desist Orders to Six Illegal Gambling Sites Targeting Michigan Players

The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has issued cease-and-desist letters to six unlicensed online gambling platforms attempting to target Michigan residents without state authorization. The action underscores the MGCB’s relentless, ongoing efforts to shut down illegal gambling operations and protect Michigan consumers from financial risk, identity theft, and unfair play.
The targeted sites—Crypto Slots, NitroBetting, NewVegas, Las Vegas USA Casino, Grand Rush Casino, and Slotgard Casino—were found to be operating in violation of Michigan laws that require licensure for internet gaming and sports betting.
“These sites were attempting to exploit Michigan players while operating outside the law. We take this seriously. When unauthorized operators offer games without regulation, Michigan players are left exposed—and we will not tolerate it,” said Henry Williams, MGCB Executive Director.
This enforcement action is part of the MGCB’s larger crackdown on illegal online gambling platforms. In recent months, the agency has issued numerous cease-and-desist letters, with additional investigations currently underway.
The MGCB continues to monitor online gaming activity and urges the public to be cautious when engaging with gambling content on social media or through digital advertisements.
