Former Premier League and Wales star to be the face of the brand and provide regular content and during the 2023/24 season

Planet Sport Bet, the sportsbook arm of the United Kingdom’s leading independent sports media group, Planet Sport, has signed former Premier League player and respected pundit Robbie Savage as its new brand ambassador.

Savage joins Planet Sport Bet ahead of the new football season and will provide regular content throughout the campaign by sharing his thoughts and opinions on the latest news and events right up until next summer’s European Championship. The former Welsh international will also be the face of Planet Sport Bet’s advertising and promotional campaigns.

The celebrated media pundit will promote Planet Sport Bet across external media including the wider Planet Sport group whose established network of brands include football titles Football365, Planet Football and TEAMtalk.

Planet Sport launched Planet Sport Bet in 2021 as part of the founding of a Betting and Gaming division that also houses multi-sports media title PlanetSport.com and recent acquisition, Tipstrr, a content subscription platform.

Savage made over 500 appearances during a club career that spanned more than 15 years. The former Leicester City, Derby County and Birmingham City midfielder also won 39 caps for Wales and since retiring has become a well-renowned pundit on both the BBC and TNT Sports, while he is also currently Director of Football at Macclesfield FC.

“We are delighted to have signed Robbie Savage as our brand ambassador,” the Managing Director Betting for Planet Sport, Mike Grenham, said. “Robbie always offers honest, insightful and hard-hitting opinions on the game’s key talking points having had experience at all ends of the football pyramid and we’re sure he’ll really appeal to our customers. His infectious personality is just what we at Planet Sport Bet were looking for as an ambassador. Though Robbie likes a laugh, he also understands the need to work in a responsible way when gambling is involved; that’s something very important to us too.”

“Planet Sport Bet might be a relatively new sportsbook, but knowing it was from the guys behind TEAMtalk and Football365, I could see it was going to be something special,” Savage said. “Planet Sport is a business going places and I’m delighted to being part of the team for the new football season. This year’s campaign looks set to be a real cracker with so many subplots along the way and I’m looking forward to sharing some typically honest views around the key news and events – and maybe even the odd winning prediction – over the coming months with the wider Planet Sport fanbase.”

Once again, casino and sports platform provider ProgressPlay are ahead of their time with a new wave of technology innovation that has helped the company to attend major shows during 2023 with soaring confidence based on pioneering proprietary technological advances that have featured strongly in annual awards shows.

The company’s future-centred thinking and ambitious AI product development attracted a raft of operators and partners attending last week’s SiGMA Europe in Malta. A raft of casino operators during the show had the opportunity to see firsthand ProgressPlay’s new tech which offers a comprehensive gaming management solution across multiple channels and products.

ProgressPlay’s enhanced iGaming platform provides operators with a powerful real-time AI-driven proprietary flow tool for optimising the performance of an online casino in a dynamic data ecosystem. Real-time player interaction provides compliance teams with the information to manage and interact with players.

Last year, ProgressPlay undertook an ambitious reframe of their technology with new proprietary Responsible Gambling automation and tools at its heart. ProgressPlay’s new platform manages player accounts, payments, bonuses, loyalty programs, fraud prevention and games, using robust tools and analytics.

ProgressPlay Sales Manager Marina Nahhas said: “ProgressPlay’s innovative Responsible Gambling software covers topics like KYC, player activity, affordability levels, and a transparent audit trail. These topics resonate heavily with operators and we were delighted with the level of engagement around this revenue-critical activity during the week we spent in Malta.”

ProgressPlay’s combo sportsbook and comprehensive turnkey solution, including casino platform, player management, payments module, and affiliate software are designed to boost operators seeking to effectively drive both revenue and efficiency with the latest cutting-edge technology.

Over 150 online casino brands have partnered with ProgressPlay covering a unique combination of casino games and sports-betting. ProgressPlay’s sportsbook offers up to 40,000 live betting markets and services across 20 languages while the latest platform offers a slick AI-driven UI/UX, and extensive value-added services alongside thousands of casino games, including slots, online casino, live casino, poker, table games, and sportsbook, across all devices and currencies.

ProgressPlay CEO Itai Loewenstein said: “Commercial agreements are being driven by our breakthrough technology that enables deployment of our AI tools for greater efficiency and revenue-generation. SiGMA Europe has been the last stop in a busy year and we believe that since we first launched our new technology in London at the beginning of the year our sophisticated Responsible Gambling tool has quickly moved beyond the early-adopter stage.”

Yggdrasil fires up festive fun with Rock Star Santa MultiMax™

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Leading iGaming publisher Yggdrasil has dialled up the Christmas cheer with a hellraising new hit, Rock Star Santa MultiMax™.

A 6×6 grid awaits players, with the cluster pays mechanic requiring five or more matching symbols to be conjoined for a winning spin. Every wining cluster is then removed from the reels, with more icons cascading down from above, and a wild also joins the party.

The multiplier at the top of the reelset will then increase, with the popular MultiMax Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM) swiftly seeing cascades cranked up in volume into massive wins. These can also combine if the cluster straddles reels, for supersonic rewards.

In addition, the Present symbol can land on any spin, awarding up to 100x, 11 free spins, or four extra wilds. This can also include an extra spin or an increased multiplier if it falls during the free spins.

Three or more Golden Ticket Free Spins icons will trigger the bonus round, giving players at least seven spins. During this, the multiplier at the top of each reel does not reset, allowing it to quickly pile up with every winning combination. Free Spins may also be gambled for the chance to win more.

The game also features two separate Buy Bonus options, depending on the jurisdiction, and a Golden Bet option, which increases the chances of a player hitting the bonus for an increased stake.

Rock Star Santa MultiMax is the latest core game developed by Yggdrasil, following recent vibrant releases Defenders of Mystica and Wild Stack Frenzy.

Mark McGinley, Chief Gaming Officer at Yggdrasil, said: “We’ve taken a different approach when it comes to festive hits and introduced the world to our showstopping Santa in our rocking new release, Rock Star Santa MultiMax.

“Incorporating a cluster-pays mechanic is an exciting addition to our portfolio, where we strive to deliver incredible experiences for our players.”
