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.”

Olympian Legends: Galaxsys’ New Slot Game Inspired by Ancient Myths

Galaxsys, the award-winning games developer, is proud to announce the launch of Olympian Legends, a new slot game that brings the power and majesty of ancient mythology to life.
More than just a tribute to ancient mythology, Olympian Legends combines breathtaking visuals, innovative features, and dynamic gameplay, promising players an unforgettable journey through the myths of Olympus. As players progress and reveal mythic features, they face the power of ancient gods. With cascading symbols and exciting bonuses, the game delivers a dynamic adventure that’s truly worth exploring.
This marks the third slot title that Galaxsys has announced over the last two months, following the launches of Funny Faces: Hoglet-Moglet and El Dorado.
What Makes Olympian Legends Special
Olympian Legends stands out by blending rich narrative elements with innovative slot mechanics. The progress bar on the right side of the grid consists of five elements. Each time a winning combination is formed, the progress bar fills from bottom to top, triggering a mythical feature when an element is completed. Additionally, the Buy Bonus option allows players to take fate into their own hands, enabling them to access the bonus game at any time they choose.
Dynamic animations and sound design ensure every encounter with Zeus, Poseidon, and more characters feels like stepping into an epic saga rather than playing a traditional slot.
Vigen Safaryan, CPO at Galaxsys, commented: “Olympian Legends combines strong gameplay mechanics with a detailed and dynamic theme. Our goal was to deliver a slot that feels rewarding to play while offering players a more refined experience through mythology. We paid special attention to balancing the game’s features to ensure that the experience feels dynamic, without overwhelming the player. From the visuals and animations to the way the bonuses unfold, every element was designed to create a journey that feels both entertaining and authentic.”
Olympian Legends is now live and available for Galaxsys’ global network of partners.

ESET Research
ESET Research analyzes tools from the China-aligned TheWizards group, with targets across Asia and the Middle East
ESET researchers have analyzed Spellbinder, a lateral movement tool used to perform adversary-in-the-middle attacks by the China-aligned threat actor TheWizards. Spellbinder enables adversary-in-the-middle attacks through IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration spoofing, which allows the attackers to redirect the update protocols of legitimate Chinese software to malicious servers. Then the legitimate software is tricked into downloading and executing the malicious components that launch the backdoor WizardNet.
TheWizards has been constantly active since at least 2022 until the present and, according to ESET telemetry, targets individuals, gambling companies, and unknown entities in the Philippines, Cambodia, the United Arab Emirates, mainland China, and Hong Kong.
“We initially discovered and analyzed this tool in 2022, and observed a new version with a few changes that was deployed to compromised machines in 2023 and 2024,” says ESET researcher Facundo Muñoz, who analyzed Spellbinder and WizardNet. “Our research led us to discover a tool used by the attackers that is designed to perform adversary-in-the-middle attacks using IPv6 SLAAC spoofing to intercept and reply to packets in a network, allowing the attackers to redirect traffic and serve malicious updates to legitimate Chinese software,” explains Muñoz.
The final payload in the attack is a backdoor that we named WizardNet – a modular implant that connects to a remote controller to receive and execute .NET modules on the compromised machine. ESET researchers have focused on one of the latest cases, in 2024, in which the update of Tencent QQ software was hijacked. The malicious server that issues the update instructions is still active. This variant of WizardNet supports five commands, three of which allow it to execute .NET modules in memory, thus extending its functionality on the compromised system.
TheWizards and the Chinese company Dianke Network Security Technology (also known as UPSEC) – supplier of the DarkNights backdoor (also known as DarkNimbus), appear to be linked. According to NCSC UK, this malicious backdoor also has Tibetan and Uyghur communities among its primary targets. While TheWizards uses a different backdoor – the WizardNet, the hijacking server is configured to serve DarkNights to updating applications running on Android devices.
