NeoGames S.A and its subsidiary Aspire Global will showcase a comprehensive online solution at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) 2022, as commercial gambling revenue records continue to tumble in the United States.
Aspire Global and NeoGames offer one of the most comprehensive, flexible online solutions on the market. It incorporates the player account management platform (PAM), a full Managed Services portfolio, Pariplayâs leading casino aggregation platform and BtoBetâs proprietary sportsbook solution. All will be presented to delegates at Stand 2032 at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, from October 10-13.
The event arrives at a particularly opportune moment for the Aspire Global and NeoGames group, given the boom in land-based and online gaming and sports betting across North America. The synergy with NeoGames expanded Aspire Globalâs reach within the territory, positioning the company as one of very few PAMs with such a wide presence in the continent.
The latest report from the American Gaming Association showed that overall commercial gambling revenues across sports betting and casino hit US$34.27 billion for the year to date, up 15.5% on the previous 12 months, as the rise of seasonal visits served to boost the countryâs land-based operators. Land-based and online sportsbooks generated $359.6 million in revenues across 25 jurisdictions, up by 34.5%.
With the online segment continuing to record positive results â combined revenue from iGaming in Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia hit $392.4 million in July, up 28.3% on the previous year â Aspire Global and NeoGames are positioned perfectly to serve land-based operators seeking to maximise their revenue potential by granting fast access to an online presence. The existing presence of the PAM in all regulated states, added to the strength and experience of the best-in-breed Managed Service, shape a product that helps partners to better manage their online operations.
Pariplayâs FusionŸ offering now consist of over 14,000 games from 80+ suppliers, as well as a suite of back-office conversion and retention tools to enhance player value. It is licensed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia and Michigan, with further licenses to follow.
The Aspire Global and NeoGames PAM has a wide presence across North America, being already live in 20 states. Together with the Managed Services offering and the recent GLI-33 certification of its BtoBet sportsbook platform, the complete B2B iGaming offering is now certified in North America.
Tsachi Maimon, CEO of Aspire Global, said: âThe market in North America continues to perform very strongly across all verticals, offering fantastic opportunities for the entire NeoGames group. Our conversations with local operators have provided evidence that there is a major appetite for the full-scale platform solutions that we are able to offer, enabling operators to enter the market quickly and efficiently with all the content, services, and tools necessary to keep players entertained.
âOur attendance at G2E will be invaluable in establishing new connections, as we continue on our growth trajectory in a region of huge potential.â

The Michigan Lottery announced that it will transition to the National Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-GAMBLER for responsible gaming support. This aligns the agency with the Michigan Gaming Control Board and other online gaming platforms operating in Michigan in promoting 1-800-GAMBLER. The 1-800-GAMBLER helpline will replace the Michigan Problem Gambling Helpline currently in circulation (1-800-270-7117), although the previous number will remain in operation.
âThe Lottery is committed to providing Michiganders with easy access to resources that support responsible gaming. By transitioning to 1-800-GAMBLER, we are able to ensure that Michigan residents can reach specially trained staff who can provide confidential professional support, local referrals, and resources to those who may have a gambling problem,â said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli.
Operated by the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), 1-800-GAMBLER is the worldâs largest problem gambling helpline network by call volume, population served, and geographic area covered. The helpline connects people and families impacted by problem gambling with professional support, local referrals, and resources.
Calls made to 1-800-GAMBLER from Michigan will be routed to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The helpline can also be reached by texting 800GAM or chatting online at 1800gamblerchat.org. Trained contact center staff are available 24/7, 365 days a year to provide support, guidance, and relevant information to anyone seeking help related to problem gambling. Additionally, players or their family members may connect to support resources such as live chat, text, and the helpline number by selecting the links in the footer of the Lotteryâs website.
The Michigan Lottery was the first lottery in the US to achieve the Internet Responsible Gambling Compliance Assessment Program certification through NCPG in October 2015. The NCPG evaluated the Lotteryâs compliance with Internet Responsible Gaming (IRG) standards developed based on best practices from jurisdictions around the world. IRG standards are the highest standards for online responsible gaming in the nation.
