Wazdan, the developer of big action online slot games, has become the latest provider to join the Livespins revolution with its content now integrated into the social live streaming platform that allows players to bet behind their favourite streamer of brand ambassador.
The addition of Wazdan brings yet more in-demand content to the Livespins portfolio, which already includes titles from tier-one studios such as Relax Gaming, Yggdrasil and iSoftBet.

Now part of the Livespins experience, its streamers can unbox Wazdan’s latest titles while also showcasing its full catalogue of games to audiences and players who can get directly involved by betting behind the streamer as the action unfolds across the reels.
This creates a group bet and a shared experience but with each player able to choose their own bet value and number of spins. Social interaction is taken to the next level through the ability to communicate with the streamer and other players throughout, and by dropping reactions and emojis.
In recent months, Livespins has struck deals with a selection of operators including Yolo Group, Bitstarz, Mansion Group and WynnBet in the US.
Michael Pedersen, Chief Commercial Officer at Livespins, said: “If you are an online casino player, chances are you will have fired up the reels on one or more of Wazdan’s incredible slot games. That’s what makes this such an important integration for Livespins, providing our streamers with access to some of the most in-demand content in the market.
“Of course, those enjoying the Livespins experience will be able to join them for the fast-paced thrill ride, betting behind the streamer and chatting with other players throughout. This is what makes Livespins unique and why developers such as Wazdan want to be part of our innovative product. It really is changing the game by providing an entirely new way to experience online casino.”
Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, added: “Streaming is here and it’s here to stay. This integration with Livespins allows us to leverage its popularity in a way that is responsible and sustainable. It also provides a huge opportunity to showcase our games and unique engagement-boosting features to new audiences and the next generation of players. We look forward to seeing streamers spin up our games and for their audiences to join them for the edge-of-the-seat experience they provide.”

Goa Introduces an Entirely Online Lottery Platform
In a move towards modernising India’s lottery sector, the state of Goa has introduced an entirely online lottery platform, sanctioned by the Directorate of Small Savings and Lotteries. This initiative, known as Great Goa Games, aims to bring transparency and convenience to an industry that has long grappled with allegations of mismanagement and fraud.
Ticket sales commenced Monday, with the inaugural draw set for Sunday. Rhiti Group, led by founder Arun Pandey, was granted the license to operate and market the platform. “Our mission is to democratize opportunities through technology,” Pandey stated, emphasizing the secure and user-friendly nature of the app-based system.
Goa government official Narayan Gad lauded the move as a step forward for the Indian lottery sector. “With our online lottery streamlining processes through technology, we are setting a new standard in the lottery industry,” Gad remarked. “The technology-based product will enhance transparency and ensure improved monitoring and regulation of operations.”
This development follows new rules governing online lotteries, introduced by the Goa directorate in February 2023. Currently, 13 states in India, including Goa, allow lottery games, though others have banned them due to concerns over gambling addiction and operational irregularities.
