Red Bull Wololo is a global online Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition tournament series offering custom 1v1 battles of the Empire Wars game mode. Rivals have fallen but are not yet defeated as Red Bull Wololo III, the third iteration will begin on January 2nd, presenting new challenges, offering even bigger prizes and introducing a brand-new story that will create an overarching narrative to give this epic event an even greater twist.
Played in two parts, the Open Qualifiers will take place over two weekends, and the eight qualifier winners invited to the Finals will face the top eight pros from Red Bull Wololo II and the world’s finest Age of Empires professional players Mr_Yo, TheViper, Hera, Liereyy, TaToH, TheMax, Nicov and Capoch. A series of qualifier prizes are up for grabs for the top 128 players including official Red Bull Wololo hoodies, gaming mousepads, amazing AOC Gaming monitors and custom engraved wooden tankards. The 16-person Finals event will be played over five days, starting January 16th, with a remarkable prize pool on offer.
Red Bull Wololo III is a unique take on the Empire Wars game mode where two players will face off in one-on-one competition in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. Each game starts in the Feudal Age meaning the first stages of a traditional match have been scrapped, with the more exciting action brought to the forefront as players battle across 12 new and existing maps. As part of the epic conclusion to this unique tournament series Red Bull Wololo III will introduce a new story and cement the overarching narrative and twist to the competition. In each event players have been fighting over a castle which has a library containing knowledge required for world domination. Red Bull Wololo I and II had players compete for control of a castle and library in a Western civilization. Red Bull Wololo III will represent Asian Civilization. The Grand Final will see the winners of each tournament compete in a battle of the wits with the top players rising to the final ultimate challenge to compete for the strongest civilization.
The event will be streamed globally and hosted by prominent Age of Empires 2 casters, including T90Official, Nili_Aoe and Dave_Aoe, for the English stream.

Leading supplier awarded gold standard for information security management systems with new accreditation
WA.Technology, the award-winning B2B iGaming solutions provider, has reached a new milestone after being awarded the ISO 27001:2022 certification.
The globally recognised standard outlines the robust requirements that companies must meet for information security management systems (ISMS). The certification offers a comprehensive framework for developing, implementing, and maintaining robust data security practices in an online environment.
Being awarded the ISO 27001:2022 certification reflects WA.Technology’s ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest possible security controls and data integrity standards across its entire organisation.
The process involved an in-depth analysis of WA.Technology’s information security policies and analysis of the procedures and comprehensive security controls in place to protect the business against potential vulnerabilities. These threats include unauthorised data breaches, sharing of information, and other potential risks.
This is the International Organisation for Standardisation’s (ISO) latest version of the 27001 certification, which features enhanced provisions around emerging information security risks and challenges in the digital landscape, including those related to cloud security, remote working, building access, maintenance of company data, and the utilisation of new technologies. An upgrade from the 2013 certification, ISO 27001:2022 provides online-facing organisations with a clear framework for implementing and managing an effective ISMS to protect confidential information.
Francesca Grech, ISO Coordinator at WA.Technology, celebrated the new certification: “We are delighted to have received the ISO 27001:2022 certification – this is a true reflection of our commitment to upholding the highest standards in information and cyber security and improving our overall risk management and operational efficiency.”

This is imperative not only to protect our partners’ information but also to build trust and enhance credibility and confidence too.”

Spinomenal releases ‘Break the Piggy’ Bank title
Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has enhanced its impressive slot portfolio with the release of Break the Piggy Bank. The game is part of the Classics Series.
A vault stacked high with gold coins sets the scene for this fun slot game that is presented within a 5×3 frame. Sacks of gold coins, pigs, wads of cash and a dazzling diamond make up the medium symbols.
Three or more Golden Piggy Bank symbols will instantly launch the Free Spins mode. Here players can win 10 Free Spins with three Piggy Banks, 15 Free Spins with four, and cool 20 Free Spins with five. Find the Golden Hammer to break into the Piggy Bank and players will benefit from its power to substitute for all other symbols except for the scattered Free Spins symbol.
Spinomenal’s Instant Cash feature is in play too and will activate every time the reel spins and the Instant Cash symbol will randomly present four possible values that are collected in Free Spins. Instant Cash symbols are possible to save up during the round before they grow the Free Spins metre at the top of the reels.
Once four Wild symbols are secured, players will earn 10 additional free spins and on all future spins until the free spins finishes. It also means that the Small Instant Cash symbol (pays x2 or x5 of the total bet) turns into a Medium Instant Cash symbol which pays out x10 or x15 of the total bet.
Eight Wild symbols discovered means players will collect six further free spins on all future spins until the free spins end. The Medium Instant Cash symbols are transformed into Large Instant Cash symbols, which pays out x20 or x25 of the total bet.
After finding 12 Wilds symbols, players collect another four additional free spins and on all future spins until the free spins end. This then takes players to the final level where the Huge Instant Cash symbol is activated and pays either x50 or x2000 the total bet.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Players will be lining up to take a spin on our latest game to join the classics series, Break the Piggy Bank. We’re on the money again with this one as the free games and Instant Cash mechanic promise a wealth of fun.”
