MediaTroopers Secures Sports Betting Vendor License in Virginia

 

Leading digital marketing agency MediaTroopers that specializes in online gaming in regulated US jurisdictions, has completed the application process and received its Virginia Sports Betting Vendor License. With the license granted by the Virginia Lottery, MediaTroopers can now expand its operations to Virginia and provide marketing services for state-licensed sports betting operators.

MediaTroopers will use its extensive in-house mobile and digital-media expertise to introduce in Virginia the exciting new paradigm of online sports betting. It will utilize its new and existing partnerships with leading sports betting app operators in other regulated states.

Sam Segal, CEO of MediaTroopers said: “We are excited to receive this vote of confidence from the government and the people of Virginia. However, we are aware that along with this big opportunity comes a serious responsibility to promote fairness and safe, responsible gambling. With a population of around 8.5 million, which is similar in size to one of our most successful states [New Jersey], our prospects for Virginia are huge.”

MediaTroopers intends to use this time to provide its wide audience with continuous news about sports events, predictions, odds, offers and updates on the progress towards the launch in the Old Dominion State.

When asked about the company’s plans for the near future, Segal added: “The launch in Virginia is right around the corner. So, we are already working around the clock providing users of all our media channels with valuable news, information and knowledge. So, Virginias interested in sports betting can hit the ground running from day 1.”

Talking about how to overcome the differences between states, he said: “Our biggest strengths are our flexibility and agility. Aside for media capabilities, we pride ourselves in the ability to quickly expand reach to new audiences and adjust our content to new states. We are coming off the back of a successful launch in Iowa, and now preparing for the Michigan launch. We will study and prepare just as hard for Virginia and do it again.”

Although Virginia does not have any of its own major league sports franchises, neighboring NFL’s Washington Football Team and NHL’s Washington Capitals have their operational headquarters and practice facilities in the Northern part of the state. In addition to the massive following of teams from neighboring states, many local sports fans hope that the momentum brought by sports betting will help to finally bring major sports franchises to Virginia.  

MediaTroopers is currently licensed and operates in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Indiana, Tennessee, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, West Virginia, and Washington D.C.

On its newest license in Virginia Segal added: “This is another milestone in our expansion and growth in the US regulated market. In addition to Virginia, there are a number of other states expected to launch sports betting this year, and we are already working closely with these states to be ready as soon as they go live.”

After accepting a few amendments by Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, the bills were enacted into law in July 2020. The first sports betting apps and websites are expected to launch in the state in January 2021.

Blitzcrown Secures GLI Certification for Three Crash Games in Brazil

 

Breaking New Ground in Brazil: Blitzcrown’s Crash Games Now GLI Certified

Blitzcrown, MVG’s pioneering games studio, has secured Brazilian Certification as well as GLI-19 Certification from GLI(Gaming Laboratories International) for its industry-changing three Crash titles. This landmark achievement marks a significant milestone in the company’s expansion into Brazil’s thriving online gaming market, positioning Blitzcrown at the forefront of the region’s rapidly evolving iGaming landscape.

The license comes at an important time for Brazil’s gaming sector, following the launch of the new licensing regime that started on January 1, 2025. The regulatory framework, signed into law in December 2023, has transformed the industry’s prospects.

The certification encompasses 3 innovative crash games: Crash, Fast Crash, and Twin Crash. This strategic milestone establishes Blitzcrown as the premier provider of certified Crash games in the Brazilian market, demonstrating the company’s unwavering commitment to regulatory excellence and gaming integrity. With the GLI-19 and Brazil certification process successfully concluded in March, Blitzcrown has solidified its position as an industry pioneer in this dynamic and emerging market.

Crash games are a recent addition to the global iGaming market, featuring the dynamic evolution of real-time multipliers and immediate reward structures. Blitzcrown has stood out by establishing groundbreaking game mechanisms that offer different and exciting gameplay experiences. Standard Crash provides players with a standard multiplier-based gaming experience, and Fast Crash is optimized for users seeking quick, intense multiplier experiences. The Twin Crash is an original format allowing players to place simultaneous bets on two separate multipliers.

Building on this momentum, Blitzcrown has announced plans to expand its certified portfolio with two additional versions of its innovative Plinko games, demonstrating the company’s strategic commitment to market expansion. This forward-looking initiative underscores Blitzcrown’s dedication to continuous innovation and sustainable growth in the regulated gaming markets.

Blitzcrown is MVG’s edge-game studio focused on pushing game ideas beyond their norms through innovative and non-traditional gaming experiences. The studio has been particularly recognized for its groundbreaking approaches in various game categories, including its successful Crash and Plinko series.

George Cho from MVG said: “This GLI certification testifies to Blitzcrown’s unwavering commitment to offering top-quality, fair gaming systems. We are well placed to take advantage of Brazil’s exciting new regulatory environment and the vast growth potential of the online gaming industry.”

QTech Games sharpens its LatAm focus with MINCETUR licence in Peru

QTech Games sharpens its LatAm focus with MINCETUR licence in Peru

 

New certification for emerging-markets leader arrives ahead of key industry summit in Sao Paulo and awards recognition

QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for emerging markets, has had its platform and games successfully approved for the Peruvian market, demonstrating that its premier B2B platform and all-encompassing content conforms to the latest legislative updates to enhance and regulate Peru’s local gaming environment.

Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Commerce and Tourism (MINCETUR) has now issued an online gaming licence to QTech Games, whereby all its platform products and games are now deemed legally permitted. This includes its new software service for retail, QTech Hybrid, which allows land-based partners to scale their operations online. QTech Hybrid simplifies transactions by enabling deposits, withdrawals and gameplay while allowing access to players both in-shop and on personal devices.

This breakthrough hybrid solution has quickly won clients and awards in the comparably fragmented African market (most recently in March for Best Innovation at AGE Lagos), and now promises to do likewise across LatAm, where QTech Games has already signed several major clients for both its aggregation platform and its QTech Hybrid solution. This activity has seen it again nominated for Best Aggregator at the SiGMA Americas Awards, which kickstart the SiGMA Americas summit (7-10 April) next week, as the igaming world converges on Sao Paulo for a must-attend conference in another of QTech Games’ “focus markets” for 2025.

Philip Doftvik, QTech Games’ CEO, said: “It’s fantastic to have certified our aggregation platform in Peru via MINCETUR – and I’m pleased to say we have more such approvals pending across the continent. We attended fantastic events in Rio and, more recently, SAGSE 2025 in Buenos Aires – and anticipate more of the same at SiGMA Americas in Sao Paulo next week, where we’re also thrilled to have been shortlisted for Best Aggregator at their LatAm Awards. Given the venue, Brazil will be dominating the discussion for many at SiGMA Sao Paulo. However, we’ll also be looking beyond Brazilian borders this year, and are already active in Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Paraguay. We know our QTech Hybrid solution will work very well wherever we put a pin on the LatAm map.”

QTech Games delegates will be present at five more LatAm summits in 2025, with SiGMA Americas (7 April) the next port of call – followed by GAT Expo Cartagena (28 April), SBC Americas (13 May), Peru Gaming Show (18 June) and GAT Expo Mexico (28 Aug).
