New five-year agreement sees NetBet.fr renew highly productive sportsbook partnership with Sportnco
Sportnco, the B2B entity of France Pari, and NetBet.fr are delighted to announce the renewal of their sports betting partnership until February 2025.
Sportnco will continue to provide NetBet.fr with its complete sportsbook offering, which includes: betting platform, player account management, front-end UI design, iOS and Android apps and risk and trading management services.
NetBet.fr is Sportnco’s longest standing betting operator, both companies started working together in 2010 as France’s online gaming and betting market opened up to regulation. Since then the two firms have consolidated their footprint in the French market, growing market share and playing key roles in the stellar growth of the sports betting vertical in the country.
The latest figures from the regulator ARJEL showed gross gaming revenues for sports betting had risen 36% to €650m for the nine-month period to the end of September 2019, despite a lack of a major football tournament during that time.
Hervé Schlosser, founder and CEO Sportnco, commented: “I’m delighted to confirm the renewal of our partnership with NetBet.fr, the first operator we launched our B2B network with in 2010. The continued development of the Sportnco and NetBet.fr brands is testament to the hard work we have accomplished over the past decade, with attention to detail and expertise in trading and risk management enabling us to generate strong margins for our sportsbook partners.”
Kenny Ibgui, CEO of NetBet.fr, added: “Our partnership with Sportnco has helped NetBet.fr generate good market share and margins in one of the toughest regulated markets in Europe. This growth is a clear sign of the productive partnership that we have developed since 2010 and we are very happy to renew our partnership with Sportnco until 2025.”

VIDEOSLOTS to become Immense Group
Videoslots, an award-winning regulated online casino founded in 2011, has successfully grown into a multibranded operator, currently representing four online casinos and one sportsbet casino. To pave the way for future growth, the company and its affiliated entities are consolidating all its consumer brands under the Immense Group umbrella in Malta.
The strategic rationale behind this transformation underscores Videoslots’ journey as a dynamic and expanding organisation, now managing a portfolio of five in-house-built, consumer-facing brands. The company believes its multi-brand strategy, focused on regulated markets, has been highly successful and it intends to continue along this path. Adopting a distinct Group name, separate from its consumer brands, is expected to help the company unlock the full potential of each brand within the portfolio.
“Videoslots Group has an impressive track record in a fast growing, rapidly changing industry. Adopting the Immense Group name reflects our ambition to continue driving progress and fostering growth for each individual brand “, says Alexander Stevendahl, CEO and co-founder of Videoslots.
Impact on Consumer Brands
The name change to Immense Group will not impact the customer-facing brands, including Videoslots, Mr Vegas, Kungaslottet, Mega Riches, and DBET. These brands will continue to operate under the new structure, delivering the same exceptional gaming experiences.
The meaning behind the name
The chosen name, “Immense,” reflects something that inspires awe and admiration. Videoslots is immensely proud of its strong culture, talented people, and long-term success in online gaming.
New formation of Immense Group AB
Conditional upon regulatory approval, Videoslots and all other brands in the portfolio will form part of Immense Group AB, a newly established holding company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden.
Leadership
Immense Group AB has appointed Jesper Kärrbrink as CEO. With over 20 years in the iGaming industry, Mr. Kärrbrink has held pivotal leadership roles, including CEO positions at Mr. Green Ltd. and Svenska Spel, as well as serving as Chairman of Pariplay Ltd, CEGO A/S and Internet Vikings AB. His strategic leadership at these organizations highlights his capability to scale businesses, navigate regulatory landscapes, and drive success in highly competitive environments.
“The Videoslots journey is a true success story. With four additional brands and a new corporate structure, now is the perfect time to introduce a new umbrella brand that carries the strong Videoslots culture into its next chapter,” says Jesper Kärrbrink, CEO of Immense Group AB.

Expanding pay ways unlock 25,000x win potential
Independent slots studio Thunderkick has launched Ways of Athena, a Greek mythology-themed title where matching mystery symbols reveal up to 43,923 ways to win.

Ways of Athena is the latest addition to Thunderkick’s diverse portfolio of class-leading content and supplements its ancient mythology offering that includes Sword of Khans, Odin’s Gamble, and Midas Golden Touch 1 and 2.
Johannes Polbring, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: “Ways of Athena introduces matching mystery symbols which split two, three, or five ways, increasing the number of total pay ways up to a maximum of 43,923.
