Flexion to bring more games from NEOCRAFT to Alternative App Stores
Flexion (NASDAQ:FLEXM.ST), the games marketing company, is bringing additional NEOCRAFT games, specifically Immortal Awakening and Chronicle of Infinity to the alternative app stores. The games will first launch on the ONE Store during Q1 2024 delivering these mobile experiences to even more audiences. Flexion and NEOCRAFT will also look at expanding distribution of these games to Amazon Appstore, Samsung Galaxy Store, Aptoide and DT Hubs later this year.
Flexion has been a longtime partner of NEOCRAFT having published the developer’s titles Guardians of Claudia and Tales of Wind on the alternative app stores.
Flexion’s distribution services will add revenue and new players from the alternative app stores through monetisation, platform relations and new user acquisition. For NEOCRAFT, the partnership with Flexion represents an opportunity to improve its brand and product recognition, and reach new users outside its existing distribution channels. Flexion is currently averaging around 10% extra revenue for Android games it distributes.
“Smart developers like NEOCRAFT are turning to the alternative app stores as a new and high revenue way to reach and engage with audiences,” says Jens Lauritzson, CEO of Flexion. “We’re delighted NEOCRAFT has chosen to extend its relationship with us and we look forward to growing this top developer’s revenue and audience.”
“In light of ever increasing UA costs and lower margins from the traditional app stores we are delighted with the revenue and audience growth Flexion has brought us via the alternative app stores,” said Terry Sun, CEO NEOCRAFT. “The team at Flexion took care of all the work and upfront costs for us. They are the obvious choice for us to roll out more of our games to the alternative platforms.”
Immortal Awakening is an MMORPG game released in February 2022. Players explore their homeland and form alliances while going to battle in order to save the world from collapse. Chronicle of Infinity is also an MMORPG and was released in October 2022. Players take on the role of a Guardian of the Astral Alliance to fend off the Obsidian Army’s ongoing violent attacks.

eCOGRA Approved to Operate in Arizona, Indiana and Panama
eCOGRA, a leading international authority in Testing, Inspection and Certification services for the iGaming industry, has secured new regulatory approvals across three key jurisdictions: Arizona, Indiana and Panama. With these developments, eCOGRA strengthens its position in the U.S. and Latin American markets, offering excellence in compliance through their Quality, Speed, and Service promise.
This strategic expansion allows eCOGRA to conduct independent compliance audits and certification services in each region, addressing the growing demand for rigorous regulatory oversight in the fast-evolving global iGaming industry.
Securing approval in Arizona, where eCOGRA has now been licensed as an Event Wagering Ancillary Supplier, enables the International Testing Laboratory (ITL) to audit event wagering licensees in line with Arizona’s expanding regulatory landscape. Indiana, which introduced online sports betting in September 2019, has authorised eCOGRA to perform regulatory compliance audits, providing licensed operators with crucial assurance in meeting the state’s high standards.
In Panama, the Board of Gaming Control officially recognised eCOGRA as an Authorised Entity for Compliance Certification, specifically for slot machines and gaming software. This endorsement reinforces eCOGRA’s role as a trusted partner for operators seeking to meet stringent regulatory requirements in Latin America’s emerging iGaming sector.
“Our recent approvals in Indiana, Arizona, and Panama underline our dedication to continually expand our offering, to support our growing portfolio of clients with their global growth plans. We are committed to ensuring that we bring the same quality, speed and service that marks us out to both our clients and regulators in these dynamic markets,” said Will Shuckburgh, Group CEO of eCOGRA.
Bradley Khoury, Chief Technology Officer at eCOGRA, said: “Securing licensure as an Event Wagering Ancillary Supplier in Arizona and an Authorised Entity in Panama underscores our dedication to supporting responsible and sustainable iGaming operations. We are committed to driving trust and accountability within the industry by providing compliance solutions that uphold the highest standards.”

Goa Introduces an Entirely Online Lottery Platform
In a move towards modernising India’s lottery sector, the state of Goa has introduced an entirely online lottery platform, sanctioned by the Directorate of Small Savings and Lotteries. This initiative, known as Great Goa Games, aims to bring transparency and convenience to an industry that has long grappled with allegations of mismanagement and fraud.
Ticket sales commenced Monday, with the inaugural draw set for Sunday. Rhiti Group, led by founder Arun Pandey, was granted the license to operate and market the platform. “Our mission is to democratize opportunities through technology,” Pandey stated, emphasizing the secure and user-friendly nature of the app-based system.
Goa government official Narayan Gad lauded the move as a step forward for the Indian lottery sector. “With our online lottery streamlining processes through technology, we are setting a new standard in the lottery industry,” Gad remarked. “The technology-based product will enhance transparency and ensure improved monitoring and regulation of operations.”
This development follows new rules governing online lotteries, introduced by the Goa directorate in February 2023. Currently, 13 states in India, including Goa, allow lottery games, though others have banned them due to concerns over gambling addiction and operational irregularities.
