AretoNet BI & Automation Solution to Power IGP Brands On ProgressPlay
AretoNet integrates its powerful analytics & automation solution with ProgressPlay and launches with seven new IGP casino & Bingo brands.
Malta-based AretoNet will provide its powerful real-time business intelligence and CRM platform services to seven new online casino brands from Inter Group Partner Holding (IGP) after a successful system integration with Progress Play.
IGP is a key partner for AretoNet, which already provides its cutting-edge marketing automation technology for 11 existing IGP casino and bingo brands, offering real-time marketing campaigns and analytics that maximise player conversion and retention.
IGP operates mainly in the UK using the 888/Dragonfish platform, as well as software from Progress Play, and focuses on online casino and bingo. The new brands, which include HIPPOZINO, MAXIPLAY, MRSUPERPLAY, MRJACKVEGAS, REDORBLACK CASINO, MRMOBI, and MRSLOT represent an exciting period of global expansion for IGP, and AretoNet believes it has the tools to help it grow its business.
AretoNet enables operators and software providers to boost their KPIs and reduce operational burden with its best-in-class technical solution. This includes artificial intelligence, automation, business intelligence and advanced segmentation.
It has a proven track record of getting results. In its two-year partnership with AretoNet, IGP has seen a 20% increase in active players, 10% increase in FTDs, and a 10% decrease in bonus costs. The operator recently signed a two-year extension to its partnership with AretoNet until 2024.
AretoNet technology enables the gaming industry to acquire, retain and reactivate players by arming it with unified data to make accurate decisions, execute campaigns and analyze their effectiveness while empowering operators to centralise their omni-channel efforts.
ProgressPlay is a full turnkey solution for white label gaming operators, providing UKGC, MGA, Irish Bookmaker and Curacao licenses, more than 2000+ casino games and over 140+ different sports.
Lars Söderlund, Business Director at IGP said: “This is an exciting time for IGP, and we’re delighted to have AretoNet on board. It has demonstrated its technology can improve efficiency and effectiveness and get results. AretoNet is in the business of simplifying challenging marketing problems by combining everything into one easy-to-use but incredibly powerful platform, and that’s invaluable to our brands. It’s about using the best technology on the market to grow together.”
Justin Farrugia, CEO and co-founder of AretoNet, said: “Knowledge is power, and we’re confident our solution provides our partners with the information and tools they need to move a step ahead in a competitive market. With the recent launch of our standalone and intuitive BI & advanced segmentation tool, operators can now use our product to boost any existing third-party CRM. Working closely with our partners and clients is the main reason why we succeed, which is why partnering with IGP has always been a great option for us. We look forward to helping them achieve their goals.”
ProgressPlay CEO Itai Loewenstein said: “We are delighted to integrate with AretoNet, as, once again, ProgressPlay has shown the platform to facilitate this new BI and automation technology, serving as further evidence of our capability to seamlessly support for innovation.”

Zimpler introduces ID+: A next-gen identification layer for digital payments

Zimpler, a leading Swedish company in Pay-by-bank solutions, today announced the launch of Zimpler ID+, a new identity layer designed to simplify compliance and accelerate user conversion within digital payment environments. By embedding biometric identification and regulatory checks directly into the first user interaction, Zimpler ID+ reduces friction in sectors with complex onboarding requirements.
“Zimpler ID+ gives our partners a direct path to compliance and conversion – cutting onboarding time, reducing drop-offs, and removing the need to build identity infrastructure in-house,” said Tobias Gunnesson, Chief Product Officer at Zimpler.
“While most verification flows still rely solely on deposit-based triggers or cookie tracking, we’re the first to enable verification at the point of entry – meeting compliance head-on and delivering a better user experience from the start.”
Purpose-built for highly regulated digital environments
Zimpler ID+ serves industries where compliance is critical and abandonment rates are costly, such as iGaming and financial services. It ensures users are verified from the start, without requiring deposits or post-registration identity checks.
Key features include:
- Quick onboarding: Verification and collection of KYC data takes place at the first point of contact, not only at the point of payment
- Seamless return user experience: Returning users can identify with biometric technology and are recognized with the help of cookies
- Works even without cookies: If cookies are unavailable, the user can easily identify themselves using a passkey
- Built-in compliance: Regulatory assurance at every step of the customer journey
By functioning as a unified identity layer from sign-up through repeat visits, Zimpler ID+ helps businesses minimize onboarding churn and maximize regulatory confidence.
Solving identification friction at scale
The launch of Zimpler ID+ comes as businesses across Europe face rising pressure to improve digital onboarding while maintaining regulatory standards. National ID systems remain foundational – but they weren’t built to optimize every business touchpoint.
Zimpler ID+ complements these systems by offering operators a plug-in layer of biometric identification and gathering of KYC information tailored to business needs. It removes the need for deposit triggers, repeated logins, or re-verification after a device change.
“With Zimpler ID+, we’re introducing a flexible approach that gives businesses more control over identity flows – without compromising security or relying solely on external systems” said Gunnesson.
Product availability
Zimpler ID+ is now available as a value-added service to select partners in Finland, with more markets to be added in the future.
By embedding advanced onboarding capabilities directly into its existing infrastructure, Zimpler expects ID+ to strengthen customer retention and enhance platform value across regulated sectors for years to come.

EDGE Boost by EDGE Markets, a financial platform for smart bettors and gamblers, has partnered with World Series of Poker, the premier series of worldwide poker tournaments. The EDGE Boost debit card is now the preferred payment method for WSOP, offering ease of payment, safety and several exclusive on-site perks for tournament players. In past tournaments, WSOP players were limited to $10,000 per transaction and had to complete a lengthy approval process, often resulting in frequent cash deposits. Now, those using the EDGE Boost card through PayPal checkout can bypass traditional credit card verification. They can also make entries up to $250,000, which eliminates the need to carry large sums of cash at the event and increases security measures.
