Habanero Games are the Part of iGamingPlatform

iGamingPlatform has expanded its range of gaming products with the addition of content from Habanero.

Under the agreement, operators will now have access to Habanero games via a seamless integration.

Habanero currently operates a stable of 75 video slots titles, nine table games and 50 video poker titles.

“This is an important deal for us as we continue to increase our visibility across the global gaming industry,” Habanero’s head of sales, Daniel Ling, said.

“By partnering with iGamingPlatform, more players in more territories around the world can now enjoy our quality games than ever before through a simple integration.”

Domenico Mazzola, head of sales at iGamingPlatform, added: “We want to offer operators quality content so they themselves can provide an enjoyable gaming experience, and offering Habanero’s games will be a major part of this.

“We’ve been hugely impressed with the standard of slots they have produced and the speed at which they’ve been integrated, and are confident they will be well received by our partners.”

The Effects of Sports Gambling

The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 and the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 are two of the rulings which are coming into question, yet there are mixed emotions on whether legalizing sports betting would be the right direction to take.

Acceptance of sports betting UK is becoming more commonplace and cash-strapped states are considering the opportunity of revenue should the laws be relaxed. However, there are also worries that legalization would contribute to an increase in gambling advertising and gambling addiction, which can also affect the players, as countries like the UK know only too well.

Recently football midfielder, Joey Barton, commenced an 18-month ban for placing 1,260 bets on matches over the past 10 years, breaking the FA’s rules. A footballer in Scotland has recently taken action himself, making an effort to curb his own addiction by requesting to be placed on the bookmakers’ self-exclusion scheme. A Ladbroke’s spokesperson has stated the importance of such schemes in order to ensure responsible gambling remains a vital part of their business. This could be something America takes into account should the laws be relaxed.
Campaigners in the United Kingdom are urging football chiefs to assist in tackling the prolific gambling problem amongst footballers by banning sponsorship by the betting companies. Kevin Twaddle, a former star who lost more than £1million on sports betting and who now works with players to get help, stated “How can football be big on gambling awareness when they are sponsored by all the major bookies?

Should US legalization take place, even partially, then it is expected that some of the worlds largest tech companies would compete against those already in the field, such as sports book operators and state lotteries, for a share of the market. This ties in to speculation that legalization could create more exchanges similar to the process of the stock exchange, catering for more sophisticated ways of betting and giving opportunity for the leagues to profit directly.

In 2017, sports betting is no longer just a deal between the sports book operator and the punter; when considering the enormity of games such as Super Bowl in USA, we have to consider that we are already involving the global marketplace with a huge value of global money flow, and that the odds are based not just on local value, but a more widespread market valuation.

Novomatic Plagiarism Against EGT

A District Court in Berlin has dismissed a lawsuit by iGaming developer Novomatic AG against fellow developer Euro Games Technology limited over activities involving the sale of slot games. 

In its lawsuit, Novomatic alleged that Euro Games Technology and its German sales partner D-Systems Gmbh, who were also named in the suit had “systematically and unfairly use essential elements” of its games in Euro Games Technology’s slot games, suing both for damages.

However, justices at the district court dismissed the motion, stating that their claims were neither based on trademark law or competition law and did not recognise an illegitimate use of essential game elements.

In a statement following the court’s decision, Vladimir Dokov, CEO of Euro Games Technology welcomed the ruling, saying: “We were very confident that the District Court of Berlin would dismiss the claim.

We considered the allegations as unfounded from the beginning, as our products are highly innovative and our R&D department focuses on current and modern technologies. We will continue to expand our market position on the basis of our own developments and advanced know-how."

Novomatic AG have yet to comment on the judge’s dismissal of their lawsuit.
