Booming Games has expanded into Dutch Market through Starcasino.nl partnership
Booming Games has officially launched its popular slot titles on Starcasino.nl, strengthening its presence in the Netherlands. This marks a major step forward in the company’s ongoing European expansion.
Starcasino, a trusted casino and sportsbook brand with deep roots in Belgium, now operates in the Netherlands under a licence from the Kansspelautoriteit (Dutch Gambling Authority). The platform is gaining momentum fast, offering a secure and responsible iGaming experience tailored to Dutch players.
Booming Games continues to focus on regulated markets, working closely with reliable local operators. This partnership aligns both brands in their shared mission—offering high-quality, compliant, and entertaining gaming experiences.
Simona Lanzoni, Commercial Director at Booming Games, commented: “Partnering with Starcasino is a significant step in our Dutch expansion. Their strong reputation and commitment to responsible gaming match our values. We’re excited to offer our most engaging slot content to Dutch players.”
Pieter van den Bos, Director at Starcasino, noted: “We’re thrilled to welcome Booming Games to our platform. Their innovative slot titles bring new variety and energy to our casino portfolio, giving Dutch players even more choice and excitement.”
1spin4win reports strong growth in H1 2025
The first half of 2025 has proven highly successful for 1spin4win, with record-breaking growth and creative innovation driving its momentum. 1spin4win has delivered impressive results in H1 2025. Compared to H2 2024:
- Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR) jumped by 30.3%
- Bet count climbed by 21%
- Bet volume grew by 20.7%
These gains highlight the studio’s rising popularity and consistent performance across international markets.
The studio has also taken bold creative steps. In early 2025, 1spin4win launched a new four-part slot collection inspired by Japanese traditions and culture. Each title in the series continues the storyline, introducing new characters and building on the visual style of the previous game.
Three out of four games are now live. The first release — Tiger’s Steps Hold and Win — quickly became a player favourite. In Q2 2025, it ranked in the top five games by bet count, and in April alone, it topped the charts for number of bets placed.
H1 2025 also saw rapid business development. 1spin4win signed over 300 new deals, significantly increasing its global distribution network. The studio also joined forces with leading aggregators.
The industry has taken notice. In just six months, 1spin4win received four award nominations, including one at the EGR B2B Awards 2025 in the Slot Supplier – Under 5 Years category.
Olga Hlukhovskaya, Business Development Director at 1spin4win, commented: “We are thrilled with our performance in the first half of 2025. These results show the strength of our team and the trust we’ve built with players and partners. We’re committed to growing further and delivering even more exciting content.”
Earlier, 1spin4win teamed up with St8, a next-gen game aggregation platform.
Gambling Commission CEO had revealed key data on player account restrictions in the UK
Andrew Rhodes, Chief Executive of the Gambling Commission, has shared important figures on how gambling operators restrict UK customer accounts.
Out of 14.9 million active accounts reviewed, 643,779 (4.31%) had some form of restriction applied. Some accounts faced one restriction, while others had several at once.
The most widely used restriction was the maximum stake limit. This applied to 2.68% of all accounts and 62.17% of restricted ones. It’s also the most promoted tool, and often the only option offered by many operators.
The second most common measure was account closure, affecting 2.23% of all accounts and 51.69% of restricted ones. However, many operators did not fully report closure data for “commercial reasons”.
Some operators used a £0.00 stake limit to prevent betting without closing accounts. This applied to 0.83% of all accounts and 19.15% of restricted ones.
Restrictions on specific products or markets were less common, affecting 0.25% of all accounts and 5.72% of those restricted.
Rhodes highlighted that gambling businesses are not legally required to serve all customers. He said: “There is no universal service obligation in gambling. Operators can make commercial decisions as long as they don’t discriminate based on protected characteristics. Being a successful bettor is not one.”
Rhodes acknowledged that restrictions can be frustrating, but urged operators to be transparent: “If this is part of a business model, customers should be clearly informed.”
He added that while the Commission cannot dictate commercial strategy, it must ensure fairness, prevent regulatory failure, and monitor risks linked to illegal gambling.
