At a time when Buzz is going through rapid change and exciting development, we are extremely positive about what Jamie will bring to both the executive management team and the organisation as a whole,” Chris Matthews, CEO of Buzz Bingo said.
“Buzz Bingo is a great brand with an interesting story to tell. With its strong credentials in offering first-rate entertainment across the UK, it’s very well-positioned to capitalise on the growing trend for consumers to seek out interesting and authentic experiences. At the same time, with its new digital platform showing strong growth, I’m excited about how the omni-channel brand evolves,” Jamie Queen said.

Rapidly expanding content provider serves up a juicy sequel in Bonanza Trillion
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is excited to announce the launch of Bonanza Trillion, the highly anticipated sequel to the hit slot, Bonanza Billion.
The game builds on the success of its predecessor while also upping the ante with a range of captivating features, enhanced visuals, and higher volatility.
Bonanza Trillion upgrades the classic fruit and crystal theme that players loved from the original title. The slot offers a fresh and vibrant design, complemented by an upbeat soundtrack that is perfectly suited to modern mobile gaming trends.
It is not just the game’s visuals that are going to dazzle players, with the cascading slot offering improved mechanics and exciting new bonuses. The accumulating multiplier feature is the key highlight, with the free spins games accessed via the buy bonus featuring starting boosts of 50x and 100x.
BGaming has also improved the math model for Bonanza Trillion, serving up an attractive RTP of 97.17% and balancing it out with the x5,000 maximum win.
Julia Alekseeva, CPO at BGaming, said, “Bonanza Billion was such a runaway hit with our players that we would have been foolish to pass on the chance of making a sequel.
Bonanza Trillion manages to honour what made the original such a hit, while also expanding on it in every way. It is bigger, offers more creative gameplay, and serves up a more engaging experience. We are confident the game will further solidify the Bonanza series as one of our best.”

For the first time, businesses can now offer Swish without signing their own bank agreements. Zimpler’s new direct connection simplifies and speeds up onboarding across industries.
Zimpler, a leading Swedish company in Pay-by-bank solutions, today launches Swish Handel (Swish Commerce) and Swish Utbetalningar (Swish Payouts) for its partners. The company becomes the first non-bank operator ever to integrate directly with Getswish, the company behind Sweden’s most widely used payment method. For the first time ever, Swish can now be offered directly through a payment institution, without applying through a bank.
“This is a turning point for the Swedish payments market. By opening Swish beyond the banks, we are not just simplifying payments, we are reshaping how businesses can access one of the most trusted payment methods in Europe”, says Johan Strand, CEO of Zimpler.
“This is also an important step in the stability of the Swedish financial ecosystem, which has recently seen recurring disturbances and downtime. Through our focus on the Swedish market and our long experience of payment infrastructure, we can improve the customer journey with a more stable and reliable payment experience.” Strand adds.
Until now, access to Swish has required a direct banking relationship, a costly and time-consuming process that excluded many companies, especially in regulated industries and for international businesses. With Zimpler’s direct participation, businesses of all sizes can now access Swish faster, at lower cost, and with greater stability.
Swish also highlights the significance of the step:
“Swish has always been about speed, security, and ease of use. By opening up to Zimpler, we can now reach more companies and industries than before. This is an important step to meet the growing demand for flexible and secure payments,” says Urban Höglund, CEO of Getswish.
Market impact
- Increased stability: As more providers can offer Swish, dependence on individual banks decreases and the resilience of the financial ecosystem increases
- Focus drives quality: Unlike banks, specialized providers can focus entirely on the service, delivering higher service levels for both end customers and businesses
- Lower costs and faster onboarding: Businesses can now avoid lengthy onboarding processes
- Access to Sweden’s largest payment network: 8.7 million Swedes and 300,000 companies use Swish
- Wider application: International and regulated businesses can now offer Swish to their Swedish customers
- Future expansion: Zimpler may also act as a Swish provider for other payment service providers, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape
The launch also signals a broader shift in Sweden’s financial ecosystem. With account-to-account (A2A) payments growing rapidly across Europe, Swish’s opening to new types of operators could accelerate competition with card networks and change the role of banks in the payment ecosystem.
