Sportsbook and iGaming operator NetBet has decided to add more games for its customers on its platform and has turned to a new product supplier in Spinmatic Entertainment. Both entities are based in Malta and are looking to boost their respective presence in the competitive gambling market of Malta and in other jurisdictions where they are present. NetBet offers iGaming options like online casino games, virtual poker, and more. The new partnership will enable Spinmatic to add a few new and interesting games, like Book of Eon, Caishen’s Treasure, CosmoMix, and more.

Since its establishment in Malta over 20 years ago, NetBet has been active in several regulated gambling markets around the world. It has competed with other iGaming operators by offering a wide array of online casino games. However, the Malta-based operator has not limited its operation to only one segment of gambling. Along with online casino games, NetBet also provides its customers with sports betting options via its own sportsbook, which allows bettors to wager on over 30 sports worldwide. Apart from betting, the operator’s sportsbook platform also supports a live-streaming feature which is called NetBet TV. Hence, users can participate in live betting, using the site’s reasonable odds, from anywhere around the globe while watching their preferred game on the same platform. Over the past few years, the operator has associated with multiple gambling solution providers to add more games to its online casino segment and implement advanced features to better its sportsbook domain. NetBet has managed to increase the efficiency of its platform thanks to these collaborations.

The Malta-based operator has previously tied up with leading iGaming software providers like PlayTech and NetEnt for several games that are currently live and available to all customers on NetBet’s iGaming platform. Apart from the usual virtual slots, table games, and poker options, the operator also has a small lottery section on its mobile app and website. This feature piques the interest of customers as a lottery draw takes place after equal intervals throughout the day.

As the gaming markets evolve worldwide, NetBet is trying to keep up with its pace. From a customer point of view, it was noted that the operator is quick to resolve issues that surface from time to time. Despite offering a plethora of gaming options along with a comprehensive sportsbook, NetBet has opted for a simplistic interface for its mobile app and website, making it a breeze for players to navigate through all the options that are on its platform. NetBet is an active member of the International Betting Adjudication Service (IBAS) and ensures that there are no discrepancies between bookmaker actions and bet results.

Regarded as one of the best online casino operators, NetBet intends to bring more options to the table for its players. The Maltese operator established a partnership with innovating casino games provider Swintt before announcing another key collaboration with Spinmatic Entertainment to bring their games onto NetBet’s online casino platform. Compared to NetBet, Spinmatic is a relatively new company, as it was established just about six years ago. However, during this six-year period, the Malta-based iGaming solution provider has utilized the latest HTML5 technology really well and powered its video slots, bingo, crash games, and scratch cards. Since the company went live in 2017, it understands the relevance of an entity’s presence on hand-held devices. Hence, its products are multi-platform, prioritizing the mobile app. All products are easy to integrate because of the powerful APIs Spinmatic has. The strategic partnership between NetBet and Spinmatic makes sense because the latter brings a complete suite of online casino and betting functionalities to the table.

What are Swintt and Spinmatic offering?

Like Spinmatic, Swintt is a relatively new iGaming company that provides innovative solutions to a multitude of gambling operators around the world. Four years after its establishment, Swintt has evolved from an aspiring iGaming start-up to one of the fastest-growing gaming studios across the gambling sector. On its current portfolio, Swintt has more than 110 slot and live dealer games. All operators that have partnered with the provider have access to these games and can integrate them into their respective platforms. Certified by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), Spelinspektionen (Swedish Gaming Authority), and many more European regulators, these games will now be available for NetBet. The list includes Aloha Spirit XtraLock, The Crown, Master of Books Unlimited, Seven Books Unlimited, and many more.

Days after reaching an agreement with Swintt, NetBet struck a partnership deal with Spinmatic. The Maltese games provider will make its premium bingo, crash games, scratchcards, and premium slots available for NetBet. The initial games developed by Spinmatic that went live on NetBet’s platform included Book of Eon, Caishen’s Treasure, Code 243-0, CosmoMix, and Egyptian Stone. As Spinmatic adds more games to its portfolio, they will automatically be available to NetBet until the contract expires. The process of integrating these games into the operator’s platform is quite simple. Using these new offerings, NetBet is set to focus on customer acquisition to expand its base in multiple regulated gambling jurisdictions worldwide.

Operators losing licenses amidst strict MGA monitoring

While NetBet intends to become one of the biggest and most highly-ranked operators in Malta, it will have to maintain adequate precautions and carefully comply with all the directives stated in the Gambling Act of the country. In fact, the operator will have to follow the same protocol in every jurisdiction where gambling is regulated strictly. Non-compliance with the Gambling Act of Malta will force the MGA to step in and act on the violation by issuing fines and firing out a warning for suspension or complete revocation of a particular operator’s license.

A few weeks ago, the Maltese regulator announced the cancellation of Totup System Limited’s iGaming license in the country due to the non-payment of license fees for the current and last year. Before the revocation of the license, the MGA issued a 20-day notice to the operator to clear the dues. However, Totup System Limited failed to pay the pending fees and ended up losing its Class 3 B2C permit. Another operator that lost its license due to the same reason was BetDino. Betago Limited and Genesis Global Limited is also lost their respective permits.
