Strive Gaming (“Strive”), the modern, multi-state and province, multi-tenanted platform provider focused solely on the North American market, has partnered with Delta Bingo & Gaming Online (“Delta”) as it plans for an exciting growth phase of its digital business.

Delta is a pioneer in providing exciting land-based experiences from Bingo to Vegas-style machines at their 20 locations predominantly in Ontario, Canada and Maryland, USA, with ethics and charitable focus front of mind. Delta launched its digital gaming business in 2023 and is now making a significant move to expand and deepen that offering by partnering with Strive Gaming.

Under the relationship, Strive will provide its market-leading player account management services to Delta, running on the Strive Infinity Engine, which drives higher lifetime values by bringing operators closer to their players through operational automation and contextual real-time engagement.

Strive will also handle the development of front-end experiences for Delta.

Strive’s platform has been built purely for the post-PASPA North American market, designed to meet the individual needs of operators while also being compliant with differing state and provincial regulations.

Strive’s systems are already live in a multitude of states and provinces (including Ontario) with other customers such as Four Winds Casinos, PointsBet, and Golden Nugget (a DraftKings company).

Max Meltzer, CEO of Strive Gaming said: “I am delighted to add such a highly regarded and smart operator such as Delta Bingo & Gaming to our growing list of partners in North America. Once set up on our platform, we truly believe they have a team capable of achieving enormous growth for their digital business.

They have loyal land-based and digital customers that expect a best-of-industry, high quality experience in any activity, product or service that falls under the Delta brand, and we intend to ensure that this continues to be the case here”.

Leo Perri, CEO of Delta Bingo & Gaming, said: “Strive Gaming is an experienced provider in the markets we operate in and has made a great effort to understand our needs. Their specialized focus and dedication aligns with our customer experience goals, and we believe that they can help us bring our customers a world class digital casino experience.

Innovative games provider ESA Gaming has received Brazilian Certification as it continues to focus on new markets.

The certification will allow ESA Gaming to distribute both its games and Game Aggregator System (GAS), to players and operators throughout Brazil.

With a mix of non-traditional content such as football-themed mine games and crash style games, as well as established casino classics, ESA’s games have a proven cross-selling capacity, without cannibalisation, helping sportsbooks to prolong brand loyalty and add revenue.

ESA Gaming has enjoyed a positive 12 months of growth, signing numerous agreements in key territories, as well as expanding its portfolio with the addition of multiple slot titles and, most recently, its first Plinko game; Plinko Drops.

The supplier also holds certifications in Portugal, Italy, Greece, Colombia, South Africa as well as an MGA supplier licence, highlighting the provider’s intentions to grow its product range in regulated markets.

Thomas Smallwood, CCO at ESA Gaming, said: “Receiving our Brazilian certification is a hugely exciting moment for us in our step towards expansion in LatAm. The Brazilian market has a huge potential and we are eager to see how our titles are received.

“It is the first important milestone of 2025 for us that we hope can act as a springboard for further growth.”
