Livespins strikes breakthrough Yolo Group partnership
Players at operator’s bitcasino.io, sportsbet.io and livecasino.io brands can now enjoy an entirely new way to experience online casino
Livespins, the social livestreaming product that allows players to bet behind their favourite streamer or brand ambassador, has entered into a breakthrough deal with the Yolo Group.
The partnership will see the Yolo Group launch Livespins across its three B2C online casinos, bitcasino.io, sportsbet.io and livecasino.io, socially charging the experience offered to players.
The Livespins experience sits within the casino lobby and its team of streamers create highly entertaining and engaging streams using the hundreds of games integrated into its platform from tier-one developers such as Relax Gaming, Yggdrasil and iSoftBet.
The player experience is taken to the next level through the ability to bet behind the action taking place across the reels. All players and the streamer bet together on the same spin, meaning everyone is in the same boat, win or lose, which in turn creates a highly social, engaging way to enjoy online casino.
Players also have the option to interact with the streamer and each other throughout and can also drop reactions and emojis based on the action taking place across the reels.
Because Livespins sits within the casino lobby, it allows operators to leverage the huge demand for casino and slot streaming while ensuring players are protected by the responsible gambling and safe gaming tools and standards required under their respective licences.
Michael Pedersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Livespins, said: “Yolo Group is an operator that sits at the cutting edge of the industry and by adding Livespins to the experience offered to players at bitcasino.io, sportsbet.io and livespins.io, strengthens its position as a true pioneer.
“Livespins has been developed to allow online casino brands to unlock the huge potential that slot streaming provides but in a way that is responsible and compliant. It’s great to see Yolo Group embrace this and provide its players with an entirely new way to experience and enjoy online casino.
“This is the first of many operator partnerships we will be announcing this year, but what better way to kick off 2023 than by joining forces with such a power player.”
Joe McCallum, Director of Gaming at Yolo Group, added: “At Yolo Group we seek out and embrace innovation and in Livespins we have a partner that is just as committed to providing next-generation casino experiences as we are.
“There is no denying the popularity of slot streaming, and through Livespins we can leverage this in a way that is responsible and compliant. We can’t wait to see our players find themselves on the edge of their seats as they bet with the streamer and watch in anticipation as each spin plays out.”

Neosurf & Betting Hero to reveal results of their in-depth study into US online gambling and payment habits in exclusive two-part webinar series
Neosurf, the globally trusted provider of swift and secure cash-to-digital payment solutions, has announced it will be sharing the findings of a recent study into the online betting habits, preferences and frustrations of US players in an exclusive two-part webinar series beginning on January 14th.
Neosurf commissioned the research via Betting Hero – a leading US-based iGaming portal with expertise in casino, sports betting and DFS. The webinars will see Neosurf CEO Americas, Sue Page, Betting Hero’s Co-Founder and President, Jai Maw, and Senior Director of Product and Research, Ernie Ropas, dive into the report’s key findings and discuss what some of the more surprising results could mean for operators.
The survey, which featured respondents from New Jersey, Colorado and North Carolina, aimed to help operators and regulators within the gambling industry better understand the typical US bettor – how and why they bet, what tools they use to manage their budget and what Responsible Gaming means to them. The findings will be revealed in the webinars and used to identify areas where Neosurf’s products can help operators provide a better user experience.
The research highlighted several aspects of payments and responsible gaming that bettors felt could be improved. Problems with payments remain an issue – 52% of respondents said that they’d experienced payment issues in the past year, and with over 50% depositing and withdrawing multiple times each month, there is a significant cost impact to the operators.
Additionally, respondents indicated they’d be in favour of using a service that could share pre-verified ID information with operators, with ease of use for new payment methods and seamless integration across multiple platforms identified as important factors in their choosing and remaining loyal to a single sports betting platform.
Sue Page, Neosurf CEO Americas, said: “It was important to us to gain a more detailed insight into the US sports bettor. We wanted to talk to the players and ask questions that no one else is asking, and through our collaboration with Betting Hero I’m delighted that we now have a comprehensive piece of research.
“Offering valuable insights into player habits – how and why they bet, the ongoing pain points they’re experiencing with payments and their thoughts on Responsible Gaming—we’ll be taking a deep dive into the results of the survey in our two-part webinar series starting at 10:00 ET on January 14th, and we encourage all US-focused operators and regulators to join us.”
