In our own 'wrapped' style round-up, the Global Gaming Insider team reviews the biggest developments across EMEA, the Americas and APAC.
The supplier has named David Mann as chief executive from January 2026. The move follows Playnetic's first two years of regulated market expansion across Europe and North America.
While the Wrapped-style retrospectives are popular across several different media, would it be wise for iGaming to hop on the trend?
Fekete most recently served as Senior Product Market Manager EMEA for IGT, overseeing the development and deployment of land-based machines across Eastern and Western Europe.
The operator is expected to spend significantly higher than the previously stated £250m on its IT upgrade.
The aggregation supplier has expanded its live casino offering through a new partnership with Winfinity, as it continues to build out its regulated-market footprint across Europe and Latin America.
From Spain to Lithuania, gambling operators and affiliates have faced increasing marketing restrictions over the years. How are they pivoting?
The integration expands Hub88's regulated European offering, giving licensed operators access to Big Daddy Gaming's debut slot titles through a single API following the studio's recent Swedish approval.
The operator has expanded its sportsbook offering through a new content distribution agreement with BETER, bringing esports and short-format sports tournaments to multiple regulated jurisdictions in Europe, Africa and South America.
Following last week's announcement of the Executive of the Year nominees, the Global Gaming Awards Europe, Middle East & Africa are pleased to unveil the Shortlist across the remaining 14 categories, available exclusively to Insiders.
