Leading distributor expands its content portfolio with new games from emerging-force supplier
QTech Games, the number-one games distributor across Asia and all growth markets, has maintained the strong momentum in its premium pipeline, thanks to its latest supplier deal with emerging force, Spearhead Studios.
Under the terms of the deal, Spearhead has delivered its progressive portfolio to QTech Games’ partners, whose players will now enjoy an array of 25 slots and table games, featuring some of the hottest properties around, like the breakout Book of Souls and Wilds of Wall Street franchises.
Integrating content from one of the most innovative and creative online studios around adds yet more creative muscle to QTech Games’ burgeoning platform, which is bringing the widest range of online games to emerging territories with established names, such as Ezugi and Yggdrasil, sitting alongside the industry’s rising-star providers.
Spearhead Studios’ game client has been optimised for mobile (notably with its snackable Slider Games series), a channel at the heart of QTech’s RNG model, which is founded on its fully-owned and customised technical platform, affording games providers and operators the fastest integration available. Through this leading platform, which has become renowned as a global gaming one-stop shop, clients also benefit from the best performance and customer support available, localised to every region across both emerging and more mature markets.
The agreement organically widens Spearhead Studios’ international footprint, unlocking untapped jurisdictions from Asia to Eastern Europe and Latin America for diversified growth.
Ulf Norder, CCO QTech Games, said: “We’re committed to rolling out the best content that generates fresh revenue streams for our partners. Therefore, this deal with Spearhead Studios extends our wide-ranging pipeline for the year. In today’s marketplace, only a premier portfolio of the highest calibre separates you from the crowd, so we’re thrilled to see how Spearhead has satisfied this demand.”
Mathias Larsson, Managing Director at Spearhead Studios, added: “Our aim at Spearhead is to disrupt the industry by making local games for local markets – and in QTech Games we’ve found a platform partner who shares our core values. Teaming up with them constitutes a fantastic opportunity to bolster our product distribution across emerging territories and deliver our great games to a range of high-profile partners. We can’t wait to see how they connect with new audiences, and we will expand this partnership over the months ahead.
“In an era of customisation, QTech Games is truly embracing their brand promise of tailoring top-class content for diverse audiences. It keeps them at the cutting edge of relevance for all kinds of players across emerging markets.”

Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco on Monday, September 8, pushed for stricter regulations for online gaming instead of an outright ban, saying that prohibition would only encourage illegal operations and deprive the government of needed revenues.
Speaking before industry stakeholders at the Light & Wonder iGaming Symposium at Newport World Resorts in Pasay City, Mr. Tengco said reforms implemented by PAGCOR — including reductions in license fee rates — has spurred robust growth in the electronic gaming sector.
From Php58.16 billion in 2023, gross gaming revenues (GGR) from Electronic Games climbed to Php154.51 billion in 2024 which accounted for nearly half of the industry’s Php372.33 billion GGR.
In the first half of 2025 alone, the sector contributed Php114.83 billion, surpassing revenues from land-based operations and boosting PAGCOR’s total revenues to Php59 billion.
“The iGaming story in the Philippines is no longer just about growth; it’s about how we grow — safely, fairly, and sustainably,” Mr. Tengco said. “We support stricter regulations to protect our people, but we are against a total ban which will only drive players to illegal operators and result in loss of revenues and jobs.”
Mr. Tengco also emphasized PAGCOR’s ongoing reforms, including the separation of regulatory and operational functions, stronger responsible gaming safeguards, stricter advertising standards, the upcoming launch of a 24/7 helpline, and the adoption of digital tools such as the PAGCOR Guarantee portal and AI-driven monitoring systems.
He also called on industry players to practice “compliance by design” in their operations, strictly follow anti-money laundering regulations, strengthen their KYC (Know Your Customer) guidelines, and fully support PAGCOR’s Responsible Gaming initiatives.
“With responsible growth, compliance, and transparency, the Philippines can develop a safer, stronger, and globally competitive iGaming industry,” he added.
Mr. Tengco also expressed gratitude to Light & Wonder for organizing the event, highlighting its role as a key partner in strengthening the country’s gaming sector.
Light & Wonder, a global leader in cross-platform gaming, provides content, systems, and solutions for casino, online, and social gaming operators worldwide. Its innovations have supported PAGCOR in broadening product offerings and keeping the Philippine gaming industry competitive in the rapidly evolving iGaming market.
