Innovation collides as Bad Hombre Gaming and Livespins join forces

Leading crypto casino platform provider adds award-winning streaming solution to its bleeding-edge offering
Operators powered by Bad Hombre Gaming can now offer their players a socially charged online casino experience like no other after the platform provider joined forces with the award-winning Livespins.
Under the deal, Bad Hombre Gaming has integrated Livespins into its cutting-edge crypto casino platform, allowing its operator partners to provide their players with a unique streaming experience.
Livespins sits within the casino lobby and allows players to tune in as their favourite streamers, brand ambassadors and celebrities fire up the reels on slots from the biggest providers in the business including Big Time Gaming, NetEnt and Red Tiger.
But that’s just the start. Livespins has developed an innovative bet behind system that allows players to get directly involved in the action taking place across the reels. This creates a group bet and a shared player experience with tons of social interaction.
Players can chat with the streamer and each other throughout and they can also drop reactions, emojis and gifs. This means that regardless of whether the spin in a win or not, a fun, entertaining and interactive experience is guaranteed.
The partnership cements Bad Hombre Gaming’s position as a pioneering platform provider with the company specialising in the exciting and fast-growing area of crypto casinos and gambling.
Its suite of solutions includes a casino and sportsbook platform that can be combined with a multichain crypto wallet. It also offers a powerful PAM and real-time reporting alongside bonus, loyalty and game management engines.
Michael Pedersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Livespins, said: “Bad Hombre Gaming has innovation in its DNA, and this makes it the perfect partner for Livespins. We too sit at the cutting-edge of this industry and have changed the game for operators, suppliers and indeed players.
“The demand for casino and slot streaming experiences is high, and with Livespins, this goes to a whole other level with the ability to bet behind the action taking place throughout the stream.
“We are thrilled to have joined forces with Bad Hombre Gaming and look forward to seeing its operator partners offer socially-charged experiences to their players for the first time.”
Emil Brankov, Head of Casino Management at Bad Hombre Gaming, added: “From day one we have been committed to revolutionising the crypto casino and sports betting space and in Livespins we have a partner that has taken the same approach to slot streaming.
“It’s bet behind system delivers unprecedented thrills and entertainment and our operator partners will absolutely want to offer this experience to their players.”

7K Named Official Betting Sponsor of Paulistão Feminino 2025

The 2025 Paulistão Feminino, Brazil’s premier state-level women’s football championship, kicked off this Tuesday, May 6, and brings with it a historic partnership: 7K, a brand under the Ana Gaming Group, has joined as the exclusive betting sponsor of the tournament.
This move further reinforces 7K’s growing presence in national football, as it also sponsors Santos FC’s women’s team, positioning itself as a strong backer of women’s sports in Brazil.
“We believe in the transformative power of sport and its societal impact,” said Talita Lacerda, Chief Operating Officer at Ana Gaming Group. “Supporting Paulistão Feminino at this pivotal time of growth and visibility reflects our commitment to gender equity and diversity. Women’s football is finally gaining the space it deserves, and 7K is proud to contribute to this important journey alongside such prominent brands.”
Record-Breaking Investment and Visibility in 2025
This year’s edition sees a record investment, surpassing the R$8 million of 2024. The total club distribution increases to R$3.3 million, with the champions receiving R$840,000 and runners-up awarded R$350,000 in prize money.
The competition features eight powerhouse teams:
-
AD Taubaté
-
Corinthians
-
Ferroviária
-
Palmeiras
-
Realidade Jovem
-
Red Bull Bragantino
-
Santos
-
São Paulo
Broadcast and Media Coverage
For the first time, all matches of the Paulistão Feminino will be televised or streamed. The tournament will be broadcast by SporTV, TV Globo, Record News, Warner (via Max and Space), as well as digital channels like CazéTV and the official Paulistão YouTube channel, expanding the reach of women’s football like never before.
A New Era of Sponsorships
The 2025 edition also breaks the record for number of sponsors, with seven brands backing the competition—up from five in 2024. In addition to 7K and Sicredi (which holds the naming rights), sponsors include Amazon, Assaí, Centauro, Guaraná Antarctica, and Lays.
Previously, 7K gained major visibility during the 2025 Campeonato Paulista (men’s) by sponsoring the tournament and securing the naming rights for the “Man of the Match” trophy, further showcasing its dedication to Brazilian football at all levels.

This alliance brings together Gamanza Engage’s advanced customer engagement tools and Astral Forest’s robust analytics capabilities, offering gaming operators a holistic and story-driven view of their business performance.
In today’s fast-paced gaming industry, data is more than just numbers: It’s a collection of thousands of stories waiting to be understood. Gamanza Engage helps operators create those stories through its marketing automation and gamification suite, while Astral Forest provides the lens to interpret and act on them. Through this upcoming service, clients will gain a smarter, more strategic approach to decision-making.
“Data only becomes meaningful when you understand the behaviors and patterns behind it,” said Andrés Blanco, Managing Director at Gamanza Engage. “With Astral Forest by our side, our operators won’t just access metrics, they’ll uncover insights that drive real action, retention, and growth.”
Operators will be able to seamlessly access Astral Forest’s analytics to supercharge the impact of Gamanza Engage’s tools.

From identifying high-performing engagement mechanics to understanding player behavior and retention funnels, Gamanza Engage and Astral Forest offer a ready-made, cost-effective solution tailored to the industry.
“Gamanza Engage’s CRM and gamification capabilities are already well recognized across the market as a powerful engagement tool.” said Stanisław Szostak, CEO of Astral Forest. “Yet, leveraging the tool to the fullest will happen only when you understand the data and the numbers that drive your results. Thanks to Astral Forest’s knowledge of modern data analytics, we are propelling our joint offering to the next level. I am really excited to team up with Andrés and Gamanza Engage: I have no doubt that our accomplishments will make the headlines soon.”
Gamanza Engage is not only known for its marketing innovation—it also places extraordinary value on data privacy and security and operates from Switzerland, a jurisdiction globally respected for its discretion, service quality, and data protection standards. This provides operators with the trust and peace of mind they need when managing their most valuable asset: player data.
With this strategic alliance, our customers across Europe, Africa, and Latin America will gain a powerful competitive edge—turning engagement into intelligence, and intelligence into action.
