Low6 strengthens global distribution through new partnership with ITP
F2P trailblazer announces a new collaboration with Inside The Pocket’s leading agnostic platform
Low6, the leading gamification innovator, announced in June that it was ready to offer its gamification technology as a full turnkey B2B solution to the betting and gaming industry. Today, Low6 announces a strategic partnership with Inside The Pocket (ITP) the sector’s pre-eminent free-to-play aggregation platform, which instantly broadens its global footprint.
In a deal which unites two gaming trailblazers, Low6 will deliver a selection of its award-winning F2P products to a new network of operators via the fast-growing ITP platform, in an industry-first aggregation model for sports betting.
ITP’s ground-breaking marketplace now affords a host of innovative suppliers a simple route to market which, in turn, offers worldwide operators a wealth of value-creation opportunities across a broad spectrum of content from one seamless integration.
The Low6 technology platform allows its partners to easily launch a wide range of F2P Fantasy, Picks, Trivia and Bracket game formats with seamless speed across any sport, language or territory. The suite of iGaming products has been developed in conjunction with some of the biggest names in sports, gaming, media and mobile technology, including the PGA TOUR, UFC, Uber Eats and PointsBet.
Global gaming operators can now access the industry-leading 1st-party data opportunities that the white-label gamification provides. Low6’s set of data collection tools help customers to collect strong 1st-party data to help them better understand their user base – something that is becoming ever more central to business success.
ITP’s proven international scope and flair for localization promises to drive diversified fan engagement to Low6 around targeted free-to-play sports games. Thanks to its open-aggregation approach, Inside The Pocket already offers the broadest and best-curated mix of games available, with one platform integration acting as a gateway to virtually unlimited content. Its ethos aligns well with the Low6 approach of a community-first approach to sports gamification. And ITP’s easy-to-use dashboards provide clients with the full picture on player activity, thanks to aggregated cross-network player data (e.g. from individual customer journeys to in-play data, and other shared insights on player segments). The technology and data collection enabled by ITP and Low6 can drive the kind of low cost, high value conversion and retention that is integral to successful gaming and betting industry marketing these days.
“Sportsbooks worldwide can now effortlessly expand their portfolio through our white label gamification platform. This collaboration with ITP offers a simple way to access a selection of our fan-favourite F2P games and all the value-added benefits that come with Low6 gamification tools. Our F2P games collect actionable data to help all our partners better know and understand their user base which, in turn, will help them to acquire, convert and retain satisfied customers,” said Jamie Mitchell, Low6 CEO.
Hussain Naqi, Founder and CEO of Inside The Pocket, added: “This partnership is the very definition of an old-fashioned win-win. For ITP, it gives us more great content for our customers. For Low6, it facilitates sales in outreach while reducing barriers to the decision-making process. Put succinctly, as markets mature and evolve, the best products always win. And this collaboration is a great way of showcasing those great new products to the end consumer. It’s all about the flexibility this provides for both of our customers and future prospects.
“As a market leader in the dynamic, evolving F2P vertical, Low6 was naturally a logical choice as an ITP partner. ITP’s multifaceted assets are already revenue-generating for our operators, so we’re thrilled with the early international reception from our growing global association of betting partners.”

GiG increases Ontario market presence, powering the launch of Casino Time
Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG), has announced the launch of Casino Time, powered by its award winning iGaming platform and pioneering real-time rules engine LogicX, with revolutionary sportsbook, SportX soon to follow, to further extend its footprint in the regulated Canadian province of Ontario.
The launch of Casino Time carries extra significance, marking only the second time that on-demand, regulated online Bingo has been made available in Ontario. The new Bingo product vertical, launched alongside a strong Casino offering, will be boosted by GiG’s new sportsbook, SportX, as part of a planned release later this year.
GiG has focused its solutions on driving exponential growth in revenue for operators with its highly scalable iGaming platform, offering localised third party content and leading suppliers for the Ontarian market. GiGs peerless gamification layer creates an optimised and immersive casino experience tailored to regional preferences, swelling client retention and player engagement.
Canadian owned and operated, Casino Time is a joint venture amongst leading retail operators in Ontario’s Charitable Gaming sector, delivering Bingo, Slots and Live Dealer Casino Games. Promising a personalised service and community experience, Casino Time is continuing its long-standing partnership with local charities, introducing its joint fundraising model into the iGaming space for the first time.
Now coming towards the end of its second year of licensed operations, Ontario has emerged as one of the largest iGaming markets in North America, second only to New Jersey according to data supplied by Vixio. The first and as yet only Canadian province to launch a regulated market, Ontario boasts more than 1.6 million active player accounts spread over 40 plus operators, generating €1.3 billion in Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) in its first year of trading, with this data supplied by iGaming Ontario.
Andrew Cochrane, Chief Business Officer of GiG, said: “GiG continues to set the pace with a strong cadence of brand launches in 2024, and I’m pleased that when operators are seeking platform solutions in regulated markets, GiG is leading the pack. Our partnership with Casino Time, will help deliver something new and exciting to the Ontarian market, and further helps to demonstrate the flexibility of our solutions, adapting to match the regional aspirations of our partners to deliver growth.”
D’Arcy Stuart, CEO of Casino Time, said: “We are thrilled to partner with GiG as the core technology provider of our iGaming platform. Their powerful suite of player engagement tools, as well as diverse content and regulatory integrations, underpin our ability to serve and delight our player community. Our hybrid online and offline customer network, as well as unique bingo offerings, will drive exciting opportunities as the platform and the marketplace continues to grow.”
Glitnor Group, operating under the LCKY Group in Ontario, has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA). Glitnor Group’s luckycasino.ca brand sportsbook will feed into IBIA’s world leading betting integrity monitoring platform. The operator joins over 50 companies and 125 leading sports betting brands in IBIA and further cements the association’s position as the leading sports betting integrity monitoring body in Ontario and globally.
David Schwieler LCKY Group CEO, said: “At Glitnor Group, we’re dead serious about keeping our betting games fair and square. That’s why teaming up with IBIA is a big deal for us. We know how crucial it is to protect the spirit of sports, and we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and work closely with the IBIA to make sure sports betting stays exciting, speedy, and above all, fair.”
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “I am delighted to welcome Glitnor Group as IBIA’s latest member in Ontario. Glitnor and IBIA share a common goal to maintain the integrity of the sports betting marketplace and to protecting consumers and sports from match-fixing. Ensuring product integrity is paramount to our approach and we look forward to integrating Glitnor within our leading global sports betting integrity monitoring system.”
IBIA is a not-for-profit body that has no competing conflicts with the delivery of commercial services to other sectors and is run by operators for operators to protect regulated sports betting markets from match-fixing. IBIA’s global monitoring network is a highly effective anti-corruption tool, detecting and reporting suspicious activity in regulated betting markets.
Through the IBIA global monitoring network it is possible to track transactional activities linked to individual customer accounts. IBIA members have over $300bn per annum in betting turnover (handle), accounting for approximately 50% of the global commercial regulated land-based and online sports betting sector, and in excess of 50% for online alone.
IBIA recently released a report on the Availability of Sports Betting Products which highlighted Ontario as a leading regulated gambling jurisdiction, with an expected onshore channelisation for sports betting of 92% in 2024 forecast to rise to 97% in 2028. IBIA currently represents over 60% of the private sports betting operators licensed in the province. All online sports betting operators licensed in Ontario are required to be part of a betting integrity monitoring body.
IBIA’s 2023 annual integrity report detailed 184 alerts reported in the year, which represents a decrease of 101 (or 35%) on the revised 2022 figure of 285 alerts. IBIA alerts contributed to the investigations and subsequent successful sanctioning of 21 clubs, players and officials in 2023, an increase on the 15 sanctioned in 2022.
