Rapidly expanding software provider launches SwinttGames and SwinttPremium releases on Netherlands-based betting brand

Following the announcement of further Netherlands-based partnership deals earlier this year, Swintt looks to have doubled down on its decision to take the Dutch market by storm after teaming up with Circus.nl to launch a wide range of games on the popular betting platform.

The new collaboration sees Circus.nl – which also offers sports betting and a dedicated live casino – host a hand-picked selection of releases from the SwinttGames and SwinttPremium catalogue, as well as exclusive third-party slots that have been launched via the exciting SwinttStudios programme.

Of that powerful trio of line-ups, it’s arguably games in the SwinttPremium range that will be the most eagerly anticipated by customers at Circus.nl. As player trends in the Dutch market have previously demonstrated a certain affinity for “classic” slots, these titles look set to be the perfect fit for the platform, given they combine the playability of land-based slot machines with modern bonus features.

The SwinttPremium games collection is perhaps most widely recognised for its “Book” series of games, which all feature Free Spins bonus rounds that boast innovative modifiers such as expanding mystery symbols. One such title that will now debut at Circus.nl is Master of Books Unlimited, which not only provides this powerful mechanic, but also gives players the chance to re-trigger Free Spins indefinitely.

Other Premium titles that are set to feature on the Dutch platform include Extra Win X, which gives players the chance to massively multiply their base game winnings in a wheel of fortune-style bonus round, and the recently-released Cleopatras Pearls with everyone’s favourite Pearl feature and seven different scatters with special features.

Circus.nl players with an appetite for more modern slot content, meanwhile, will also have plenty to enjoy courtesy of the SwinttGames catalogue. With these games all boasting immersive themes and ground-breaking bonuses, notable additions to the site will include The Crown starring Vinnie Jones, the mobile-game inspired, Candy Gold and Swintt’s most successful title to date, Aloha Spirit XtraLockTM.

On top of these two staple collections, Circus.nl players will also be able to get their first look at boutique third-party software provider, Fine Edge Gaming, whose explosive Stacking Bison slot has been distributed via the SwinttStudios program. Featuring 720 ways to win, a maximum jackpot of 5,044x the selected bet and a Stacking Bison Respin feature that only uses high value symbols, the game has all the makings of an instant classic and should prove a huge hit among players at Circus.nl.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “With the Dutch market being a key focus area for Swintt, we’re delighted to be teaming up with a quality brand like Circus.nl to ensure our state-of-the-art slot selection can be enjoyed by even more Netherlands-based players.
“With Premium releases, SwinttGames and SwinttStudios exclusive all launched recently, we’re sure Circus.nl customers will have no trouble finding a new favourite slot and we’re confident the partnership will prove a highly successful venture for everyone involved.”

Denis Wittebrood, Casino Operations Manager at Circus.nl, said: “We believe Circus.nl to be the top online casino and sports betting website available to Dutch players – and the most reliable way for us to cement our status as #1 is to carry on teaming up with the best and brightest game providers around.
“Over the past couple of years, Swintt have certainly proved that they’re one of the most sought-after developers in the online casino industry, so we’re very excited to now be able to share a wide selection of their releases with our casino customers and hope they enjoy taking these great games for a spin.”

Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, has partnered with StarLadder, a pioneering tournament organiser. The Budapest Major 2025 marks a highly anticipated comeback for StarLadder, as it is their first Counter-Strike Major since 2019 and a significant return to the top-tier esports arena.

As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event. This will empower organisers, teams, sponsors and fans with unparalleled transparency and a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.

Artyom Odintsov, Co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts, said: “We are thrilled and proud to provide viewership analytics for StarLadder for the Budapest Major 2025. Since both Esports Charts and StarLadder are Ukraine-born companies, we share similar values and deal with similar challenges, which brings us even closer.

“It’s genuinely exciting to follow how viewership will develop at this Major. But knowing the expertise, drive, and passion that the organizers are bringing, I have no doubt we’ll witness some incredible things happen in Budapest.

“Esports Charts has always been driven by a mission to provide the esports community with accurate, actionable data, and we look forward to showcasing the impact and audience engagement of this world-class event.”

StarLadder has been a driving force in global esports for almost 15 years now, since hosting its first tournaments in 2011. Renowned for its innovation and reliability, the company has organised some of the industry’s most iconic events. These include the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019, which accumulated over 44 million hours watched and remains in the top 10 CS events by this metric, and the legendary StarSeries tournaments which started back in 2012.

Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Sales and Partnerships at StarLadder, said: “We’ve been working with Esports Charts since their founding and have always valued their professionalism and integrity. In a market where reliable data is essential, Esports Charts provides honest, transparent numbers, exactly the kind of insights sponsors and stakeholders rely on when assessing the potential reach of a World Championship event.

“We’re confident that this partnership will result in a high-quality analysis of our tournament’s performance and the audience data we’ll report to our partners. It’s a collaboration built on trust, shared values, and a deep understanding of what it takes to elevate esports to the next level.”

The Starladder Budapest Major 2025 will be held from November 24 to December 14 in Budapest, Hungary. The event will bring together the world’s top 32 Counter-Strike 2 teams to compete for a $1.25 million prize pool and one of the most prestigious titles in esports.
