EveryMatrix content live in West Virginia with tier-1 brands

BetMGM and Rush Street Interactive (RSI) are live with EveryMatrix exclusive casino content in West Virginia further extending the technology and games supplier’s regulated US footprint.
EveryMatrix will provide both tier-1 US brands’ customers in the ‘Mountain State’ with games from its in-house studios. This includes Armadillo Studios and, later this year, content from newly acquired Fantasma Games via integration with SlotMatrix, its proprietary B2B aggregation platform, and the industry’s largest content library with 30,000+ games from 350+ studios.
This marks the third state both brands are live with EveryMatrix content following launches in New Jersey and Michigan.
The industry’s fastest growing iGaming technology provider has secured commercial agreements with multiple tier-1 operators in the US with delivery through SlotMatrix.
EveryMatrix has more than 300 global customers and holds North American licences in Ontario, New Jersey, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
Erik Nyman, President, EveryMatrix Americas, said: “Our North American footprint is rapidly growing, and we have ambitious plans to accelerate our roadmap across 2025 and beyond.
“SlotMatrix is at the core of our content integration strategy delivering tier-1 US and Canadian brands with new and existing high-performing content, strengthened later this year by Fantasma Games, that already has strong US market share and further bolstered by our vast aggregation portfolio.”

Octoplay Launches Jackpot Blitz with BetMGM in Ontario, Accelerating North American Expansion

Octoplay continues its expansion in North America by launching Jackpot Blitz with BetMGM in Ontario, building on the company’s continental growth strategy following its Michigan provisional license approval.
This strategic launch builds on the growing momentum with BetMGM, marking a significant milestone in Octoplay’s North American expansion, introducing the bespoke opt-in jackpot solution built in collaboration with BetMGM. The decision to expand the partnership with BetMGM demonstrates the strong relationship between the companies and sets a strong foundation for Octoplay’s continued growth across North America.
The Ontario launch builds on Octoplay’s rapid market entries over recent months, including Microgame’s network of 50 operators in Italy, Slovakia’s leading operator Niké, and Sweden’s state-owned Svenska Spel Sport&Casino. With active licenses in the UK, Sweden, Malta, Greece, Romania, Slovakia, Italy, and Belgium, Octoplay continues its accelerated expansion across both European and North American markets.
Jackpot Blitz has achieved a remarkable 88% player opt-in rate since launch. This performance, combined with BetMGM’s extensive player base, sets a strong foundation for Octoplay’s North American growth as the company prepares for launches in Michigan and additional US states in 2025.
“The launch of Jackpot Blitz with BetMGM in Ontario accelerates our North American expansion plans,” says Carl Ejlertsson, CEO at Octoplay. “Our strong partnership with BetMGM has enabled us to bring this innovative product to their Ontario players. With our proven track record of collaboration with top tier gaming operators like BetMGM, we’re ideally positioned to drive significant growth together in regulated markets across North America.”
Oliver Bartlett, VP of Gaming Product & Content at BetMGM, said: “Ontario is a key iGaming market for BetMGM, and adding Jackpot Blitz strengthens our vast collection of games. Octoplay is part of our strategy to collaborate with top-tier partners to bring the best content to our players.”
As Octoplay prepares for its Michigan launch in 2025, followed by entries into additional US states, this expansion with BetMGM represents another milestone in the company’s accelerated growth. The partnership reinforces Octoplay’s momentum as the company continues its rapid advancement in North America.
