It can now provide a range of operators in the Asian region with sportsbook and casino platform solutions, as well as a variety of retail options, in multiple jurisdictions.
Alex Leese, CEO at Pronet Gaming, said: “I am honoured to have been chosen to judge SiGMA’s Asia Awards and am looking forward to assessing the nominations in some highly competitive categories.
“The Asian betting and gaming markets are as vibrant as ever and it is an exciting time to be involved in events like this, which brings together everyone who matters in the industry.”
Pronet Gaming has introduced a number industry-firsts such as FastBet, which has helped optimise the player experience. This solution enables users to wager multiple single bets across all sports at the touch of a button without creating a betslip.
The provider’s Popular Bets and Popular Events widgets automatically display the wagers and sports that are most popular in any given jurisdiction where an end-user is based, refreshing every five minutes.
Pronet Gaming’s clients are also able to customise the sports betting features that suit their unique needs in regulated markets, creating fine-tuned experiences for audiences that increase revenues as well as engage and retain players.
SiGMA Asia takes place at the SMX, Manila’s largest exhibition centre, between 19-22 July. The PAGCOR-endorsed conference brings together suppliers, operators and affiliates from East and West.

New online casino will be promoted by GiG’s CasinoOnline and AskGamblers brands to players in the country as it looks to drive sign ups at scale
Winlandia, the online casino with a Nordic twist, has signed an exclusive agreement with GiG Media to promote the brand to players in Denmark. The move comes after Winlandia made its debut in the country earlier in the month.
Under the agreement, GiG Media will promote Winlandia to Danish players via its flagship CasinoOnline.dk, CasinoSpiller.dk and AskGambers sites. It will do this exclusively for the next few weeks before Winlandia will work with other semi-exclusive affiliates in the market.
Winlandia plans to leverage its position as the newest online casino in Denmark and combine this with CasinoOnline and AskGambler’s positions as two of the leading affiliate brands in the country to engage players at scale and drive quality traffic through the doors of its online casino.
This is the third market that Winlandia and GiG have entered into such a partnership having done the same when the casino made its UK and Sweden debuts last year.
Winlandia, which is powered by SkillOnNet, promises players a top-rated online casino experience that captures its Nordic heritage and combines it with plenty of Finnish Sisu. This includes the payment methods available with both Trustly and MobilePay in the cashier for fast deposits and payouts.
Players are also offered generous bonuses and access to more than 2,752 slot and casino games – an increase of 1,000 titles from when Winlandia entered Denmark a month ago.
Christoffer Grönlund, Head of Acquisitions & PR at Winlandia, said: “We are thrilled to once again be working with our friends at GiG Media as we look to drive awareness of Winlandia among players in Denmark. Demand for new online casinos is always high, and AskGamblers does a great job of engaging players searching for new brands.
“This partnership comes off the back of a similar agreement in the UK and Sweden where the result of the collaboration far exceeded our expectations. We look forward to enjoying similar success in Denmark, and to welcoming players to Winlandia for the first time.
“We really do offer a highly entertaining casino experience and something a little different to the other brands in the market thanks to our Nordic heritage.”
Marcel Elfersy, Chief Commercial Officer at GiG, added: “We love to see new online casinos launch in thriving markets such as Denmark. Winlandia offers a unique player experience that we know will be a big hit with those who come to AskGamblers in search of the latest casinos to play at.
“This deal builds on the successful partnership we already have with Winlandia, having achieved incredible results for both parties in the UK. We look forward to taking this to the next level in Denmark where we believe Winlandia will be a big hit with players.”
Katarina Stojanovic, Head of Affiliates at GiG, added: “We have had the pleasure of launching Winlandia Casino on several licensed markets in Europe, the latest one being Denmark. Christoffer and the Winlandia team have been very helpful throughout the process, and we are very pleased with our partnership.”

Summon Magical Wins and Enchanting Bonuses with Dragon’s Dawn
Brace yourselves for a magical gaming experience with the new Dragon’s Dawn slot from Stakelogic
Prepare to be enchanted and amazed as you explore a magical kingdom and launch an array of spellbinding bonuses in the Dragon’s Dawn slot from Stakelogic. This exhilarating new title flies into online casinos on March 26th, 2024.
Players are summoned into the heart of the mythical Light Realm, where they are accompanied by a Grand Wizard as they spin the reels and attempt to get their hands on the slot’s 7,500x maximum win.
The action begins in the Light Realm, where players can spin an enhanced 6×6 game grid that uses a Scatter Pay gameplay mechanic. Winning combinations are formed when players land eight or more matching symbols anywhere across the reels.
There is plenty of magic afoot in the Light Realm, with three unique reel modifiers able to trigger at random. The Lighting Strike can replace one winning symbols with one or more full stacks of matching symbols, the Meteor Show can add extra Wilds to the grid, and the Portal Reel provides access to a magical portal that switches non-winning symbols for new ones.
What’s more, the slot uses the innovative Avalanche wins mechanic, removing winning symbols from the grid and replacing them with new ones. A progressive win multiplier is also applied, increasing by one on each Avalanche and resetting when no new wins are formed.
The Light Realm is not the only magical land that can be explored. Landing four or more Bonus symbols will trigger the Free Spins round and transport players into the heart of the Dragon’s lair in the Fire Realm. Four, five, or six Bonus Symbols will trigger 8, 12, and 15 spins, respectively.
Braving the Fire Realm can reap huge rewards for players, with the progressive multiplier remaining persistent throughout the spins. Players can also conjure up further spins by landing four or more Bonus Symbols during the round.
Dragon’s Dawn lands on virtual casino shelves with multiple configurations, with a maximum RTP of 96%. Stakelogic rates the game as highly volatile. In selected markets, players will be able to purchase their way into the Free Spins bonus.
Daniela Fricchione, Head of Account Management at Stakelogic, said: “Our goal when creating online slots is to provide our players with a magical gaming experience, and what better way to do that than to transport them to not one, but two magical realms. Dragon’s Dawn gives us a chance to flex our creative muscles and build a world we believe our players will find hugely enjoyable to spend time in.
Of course, the slot is also loaded with bonus features, with the three reel modifiers keeping the base game exciting, the combination of free spins and the global multiplier is sure to get pulses racing. “
