LCB Sister Sites Blacklist the infamous Affiliate Edge

Great news for LCB'ers - especially fellow US players!

What happened?

Remember the CWC/Affiliate Edge controversy over covertly shaving players from affiliate accounts?

Guess what! The notorious group has been officially BLACKLISTED by our sister sites too.

WorldCasinoDirectory.com and KeyToCasino.com joined the ranks of gaming portals...

...who will not support the shady business of this infamous operator and their affiliate program.

Here's the gist

Formerly a respected RTG brand and a very popular affiliate, Affiliate Edge suffered some internal management conflicts in 2016.

The most experienced of the owners was forced to leave...

...and that's when the problems started.

Their partners noticed revenue loss. It was sudden and seemingly inexplicable.

...and discovered Affiliate Edge was de-tagging them to cut the commission they owned to honest partners.

Making their findings public - it was the nail in the coffin to an already sinking company.

They lost all integrity - the virtue of every respectable iGaming brand.

Strange, isn't it?

To see an already successful company squander everything they've built and gone down the rogue path...

We have to ask ourselves why?

Well...it seems they've made a huge mistake - asking the wrong company for advice.

Rumor has it their new 'expert' advisor is (brace yourselves):

None other than the infamous Affpower!

Unrepentant distributor of pirated software...

Unethical thief of rightly earned winnings...

Hacking websites and flooding them with their own adds without permission...

You name it- they've surely done it!

Remember

Quite a number of RTG online casinos still operates under CWC label - all part of Affiliate Edge program.

Here are a few venues listed at LCB with the Warning sign:

High Noon Aladdin's Gold Lucky Red Manhattan Slots All Star Slots Club SA Buzzluck

Though American gamers, left without much choice, played at these venues without too many issues...

...we urge you not to support brands that cheat partners - effectively stealing their hard-earned revenue!

If they can do it to affiliate clients...

What makes you think players won't be the next victims of their greed?

BetBright and Netflix Come Together

Netflix, much to everyone’s surprise, has already been mentioned on LCB: despite not having much to do with iGaming or gambling in general, when Springbok Casino unveiled their top Netflix picks, the news didn’t go unnoticed...

...And perhaps that was when operators and gambling groups at large saw the potential of this on-demand streaming service, because right now we have a new story: Dublin based, BetBright, aims to bring the community functionality of Netflix and combine it with their own sports betting service, BetFeed.

What it Does

BetFeed will, apart from providing the top-notch sports betting experience to its users, will now offer a multimedia, interactive digital experience.

The platform will offer insight into events and bets that are trending and popular with people, the users will be able to learn about this in real-time and engage in social interaction. Bets can be copied from a scrollable feed and pasted into bet slip.

Real-time offers on BetFeed can be refreshed every 30 seconds. This platform, in general, was introduced in order to maintain the fantastic growth momentum the company has had last year – its total income has tripled in 2017 and this year’s profits are expected to exceed $35 million.

The Official’s Two Cents

Sarne Lightman, BetBright’s Managing Director, states: “Whether it’s Facebook, Netflix or Spotify, the modern digital consumer is used to being able to like and follow trending social feeds and content, from their friends’ photos to their movie and music choices. Until now, traditional sportsbooks have lacked even the most basic social functionality leaving customers betting in a vacuum with nothing but the odds as evidence to what other users might be doing around them.”

Nolimit City Launches Hot Nudge Slot

One rarely sees such a frantic flurry of business activity such as the one demonstrated by the major casino software supplier based in Stockholm and Malta, Nolimit City. The platform and tech solution prodigy has been having one heck of a spring/summer period.

As they continue to come up with various new partnerships and gaming titles, let us remind you that the company released its latest addition, Coins of Fortune, and has agreed upon a deal that will see them begin delivering games to one Mr Green Casino.

Wink-Wink, Nudge-Nudge

But before we go on refreshing your memory with all of the good stuff they've done recently, let's take a look at the brand-new slot sensation, Hot Nudge. The game, which is already live with operators, is a total norm-breaker and bears a certain uniqueness.

This is a 5x4, 40-payline slot game that pays tribute to the classic Nudge feature. Its “hair raising gameplay” is based on diesel-punk aesthetics (think steam-punk on steroids) with constant flaming Wilds and up to 10x multipliers on any given spin!

Potentially dishing out huge wins, this HTML5 game, available on all devices, will appeal to high-rollers.

In Starring Roles

In the sense of sound and visuals, the game is nothing short of a miracle, with a metal contraption serving as reels/slot machine itself, filled with majestically designed symbols like Queen of Steam, Jack of Punk, King of Diesel, Hot Scatters and...

...and on the audio side of things, a gentle, dark-ambient score creates a perfect industrial backdrop for a bleak theme.

Landing at least three scatters will trigger a round of 7 extra spins. The symbols are, in general, expanding and you can get additional extra spins by landing only one more scatter and the number of nudges down.

Nolimit City guarantees that “that this bonus round is sure to drive the thickest skinned to a heated fury that can reap highest rewards.” Well, that sounds good, doesn't it?

The Chief Says

Nolimit City's Product Owner, Per Lindheimer, comments...

“Hot Nudge takes a gritty turn into the diesel-punk world where the persistent may conquer. We always loved the nudge feature in classic games and are very pleased to be able to incorporate it into different features. There are some massive hits in the game and that x10 multiplier sure will get the adrenaline pumping!”

During the past months, the company has been busy over their heads and have inked supply deals with Soft2Bet, Bethard, Gaming Innovation Group and Suprnation.

Check the game out and let us know your thoughts:

Red Tiger Gaming Teams Up With Jumpman

One of the most prolific multi-brand casino owners and operators, Jumpman Gaming, is further enhancing their repertoire of gaming offers. Some months ago, they have access to Wazdan's full portfolio of slots and this UKGC-licensed operator has just struck a brand new partnership with another iGaming big-shooter.

The award-winning developer and supplier, Red Tiger Gaming, is the latest to sign a contract with Jumpman. This means that the company, founded in 2014 that today employs more than 200 people, will be delivering a full array of their HTML5-based games such as Dragon Luck, Totem Lightning, Treasure Mine and Tiki Fruits to casinos and bingo sites who belong on Jumpman's network.

Partnerships Galore

Red Tiger has hit a few milestones this year, first by reaching an agreement with Mr Green and then by inking another cooperative effort with Pomadoro. As part of the deal, Jumpman Gaming will also gain access to Red Tiger's Smart Spins bonusing platform.

Some of the websites belonging to Jumpman Gaming's network are Amazon Slots, Big Thunder Slots and Dove Bingo.

CEO's Opinion

Red Tiger Gaming's CEO, Gavin Hamilton, comments…

“Jumpman Gaming has established a strong casino network and we are excited to be delivering our games to their far-reaching customer base. Some of our most popular titles are already on site and we look forward to unveiling plenty more as the relationship develops.”

Jumpman Gaming's spokesperson says: “Red Tiger have a proven track record of developing slot games and it’s fantastic for us to have their games on our sites. Their games always offer a superb experience to players, as do their smart spins, so we are excited to be rolling them out across our brands and believe they will drive player engagement.”

Last year, Red Tiger won their first ever EGR Award in the Slots Provision category. In 2018, they bettered that success by clinching the RNG Casino Supplier of the Year and Mobile Supplier of the Year awards.

Blueprint Gaming Obtains Italian License

One of the industry's leaders in the field of software and game production, UK-based, Blueprint Gaming, continues their global saga and international breakthrough by clinching a deal that will see them enter the market of Italy.

This comes after the company's portfolio of games got certified by the Italian regulatory body, AAMS, who have found their slot titles worthy in quality and content.

Spanish Market to Follow Suit

This move comes soon after Blueprint's recent foray into the markets of Romania and Denmark and with the company setting sights on the market of Spain that should follow in the months to come, it is clear that intentions of global expansion are real and are happening with firm intent and decisiveness.

Italy and its casino punters will thus soon be playing such classic titles as Genie Jackpots, King Kong Cash, TED and Wish Upon a Leprechaun.

The most recent title, This is Spinal Tap, will also be included in this batch of games to be integrated onto the market. The games will also feature the company's Jackpot King progressive system that can be custom tailored for every operator.

Managing Director Weighs In

Blueprint Gaming's Managing Director, Matt Cole, gives his two cents on this important milestone for the company…

“This year has seen us actively grow our presence in Europe’s regulated markets and I’m thrilled that our games are now live in Italy. The Italian iGaming industry continues to evolve and it was an important step for us to be involved in such an exciting territory. We’re confident that players in the region will enjoy our feature-rich games and look forward to working with operators active in the country.”

Blueprint's slots are played on over 100,000 land-based gaming terminals across the UK, Germany and Italy.

In April, another important piece of history was made when as much as five different slots by this company made it to the top 20 list of April's iGaming Tracker Rankings.

Will Cryptocurrency Big Shots Become Banks?

When you stop and ponder the road of cryptocurrency development over the years, the rise of digital money to the heights of mainstream and beyond, as they began doing business that is measured in billions of dollars, leads to the inevitable.

All of those once small startups and businesses that seemed far-fetched back in the day are suddenly buying bank shares, prompting the question: do crytpo exchanges, market makers and blockchain innovators have it in them to transform into banks themselves?

The Value of Bitcoin

As Bitcoin.com analysts estimate, the current value of the cryptocurrency market stands at more than $294 billion. That sure is a big leap from the original small community that started it all almost ten years ago.

Even though there are those among leading financial experts who are urging, ‘get out while you can’, it is admittedly difficult to ignore such a huge global movement that, despite its ups and downs, has shown serious resilience.

As business gets bigger and more complex, some of the market makers and cryptocurrency companies are dealing with growing amounts of money. Some of them have begun acquiring bank shares or even trying to transform into banks themselves.

Still Going Strong

Coinbase, for instance, is one of the digital assets firms who are still going strong and doing well for themselves. They have over 20 million users and so far, more than $150 billion worth of cryptocurrencies have been traded via this route. That's why the company's officials begun having meetings with US regulators in early 2018 as they look for banking licenses.

The cooperation between these bodies is quite close and successful thus far, as Federal bankers realize that Coinbase could offer plenty of banking options.

One of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, Binance, has acquired a 5% stake in Founders Bank based in Malta, a small Mediterranean country that is on the path to becoming the world's leaders in crypto technology and iGaming hotspot.

This is the world's “first global community-owned bank,” as Silvio Schembri, Office of the Prime Minister of Malta's junior minister for financial services, digital economy and innovation has said. As of now, Binance and Founders Bank are opting-in for a EU license for full-on regulation.

The Role of Litecoin

Likewise, the Litecoin foundation has recently purchased 10% of stakes at WEG Bank AG from Germany. WEG Bank, with the help of Litecoin Foundation and Tokenpay will be offering cryptocurrency services to customers, as Litecoin will be also integrated with WEG Bank – something the German conglomerate agreed upon even though Litecoin's value has had a sharp and rather dramatic decline since its peak value in December 2017.

What are your two cents on these trends and developments? Does this mean that crypto assets are still alive and well? Or does becoming a bank present a way out for these firms should anything tragic befall the world of cryptocurrencies? Feel free to comment below…

Microgaming Prepares the Return of Agent Jane Blonde

Big news for fans of slot sequels as Microgaming announces the imminent release of part of their legendary video slot series, Agent Jane Blonde, dubbed Agent Jane Blonde Returns!

The announcement was made at this year's iGB Live event in Amsterdam that took place this week. It has been stated that the driving force behind this project is the newly instated, Stormcraft Studios independent brand.

This will be Microgaming's second title created by Stormcraft Studios.

What You Can Expect

The original slot, a game of international intrigue and espionage, was developed and released in 2015 – ancient history by the standards of ever-changing technology and the iGaming industry.

Agent Jane Blonde Returns will be a five-reel, three-row, 15-payline game, making a comeback with some more stunning artwork, engaging gameplay and thrilling action. The game will feature retro, neon visuals stacked Wilds and a respin feature.

To emphasize the importance of this game's release, Microgaming's stand at iGB Live was fully branded with sneak-peaks of visuals from the upcoming title. Also, visitors of the stand were able to have a scoop of nine different ice-cream flavors – simulating a similar experience when presenting Fortunium early this year at ICE.

A Word from the CEO

Microgaming's Games Publisher, David Reynolds, had this to say about the game's release…

“Following the huge success of Fortunium, we are so excited for Stormcraft Studios’ next release with Agent Jane Blonde Returns. With stunning graphics and an atmospheric soundtrack that brings you into Agent Jane Blonde’s world of action and espionage, it’s sure to be a hit with both fans of the original and new players when it goes live.”

Most recently, Microgaming (in collaboration with Rabcat) released another Robin Hood-inspired slot game called Robin of Sherwood.

Fall in Love With Mighty Aphrodite at Slots Capital

Rival Gaming has made its latest foray into the realm of video slots with a neat little game called, Mighty Aphrodite (we're not sure if the name is partially inspired by the Woody Allen movie of the same name or it's just a remarkable coincidence).

What to Expect

This 5-line, 25-payline game set in dusk-lit heavens is all about the Greek goddess of love and other characters in Greek mythology, like Pegasus and cupid, looking to elevate you to cloud nine. It's easy to get enamored with this awesome game whose stunning looks only justify the belief that love and beauty are closely intertwined.

Some of the other high-value symbols you will encounter in the B2B developer and supplier’s  new title are…

olives, seashells, hearts, golden harps, medallions, temple of love, golden coin, wreath and a clay pot.

Beautiful Aphrodite herself is a Stacked Wild and she takes place of two vertically stacked icons on the reels, while Pegasus triggers an extra spins round, should three or more of these land on the reels. Cupids will occasionally shoot an arrow on the screen and activate some cool multipliers.

Slots Capital Celebrates the Launch:

As a part of the game launch celebration, Slots Capital Casino is gifting their players with 20 extra spins with no deposit required!

An additional 50 extra spins will be made available after the player makes a deposit. The casino's official statement reads:

This promotion is available at the Curacao-licensed site until Sunday, July 22. Use the bonus code, MIGHTY20.

There is a $180 max cash out, with 60 times rollover on winnings. An additional 50 spins will be available until July 31st, by using the code…

During one of this year's biggest industry events in Amsterdam that gathers iGaming solution experts, operators, affiliates and software innovators in one place, iGB Live http://www.igblive.com/, casino game specialist, Wazdan, has played quite a successful part by officially releasing their brand-new blockbuster game – Fruits Go Bananas.

Recently, the company announced its relocation to Malta.

Wazdan's Head of Sales, Andrzej Hyla, comments on the launch of the game: “Wazdan aims to keep delivering exciting games like this for all their partner operators and players. Fruits Go Bananas™ is fruity fun, fast-paced and has a flexible bet selection thanks to our world's-first Volatility Levels™.
