Welcome to our weekly roundup of American gambling news again! Here, we are going through the weekly highlights of the American gambling industry which include the latest news and new partnerships. Read on and get updated.

Latest News

Fennica Gaming has announced that it has been granted a gaming supplier license in Ontario, Canada. This milestone marks a significant step in the company’s expansion strategy, allowing it to offer its cutting-edge gaming experiences to gaming operators in one of North America’s most dynamic regulated markets. The supplier license, granted by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), enables Fennica Gaming to introduce its portfolio of entertaining and high-quality games to gaming operators across the province. This registration empowers Ontarian operators, whether online or land-based, to access the omnichannel offerings developed in the Nordics.

PrizePicks announced it has received Internet Compliance Assessment Programme (iCAP) accreditation from the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG). PrizePicks is the first and only fantasy sports operator to receive the recognition. iCAP certification is granted to operators that meet the NCPG’s high standards for responsible gaming and consumer protection practices. Developed by the NCPG, iCAP is the leading online responsible gaming assessment Programme in the US. The rigorous certification process involves an independent, comprehensive review of an operator’s responsible gaming policies and practices, spanning Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, staff training programmes, work culture, consumer protection measures, RG tool offerings, customer service standards and regulatory compliance.

The Public Health Advocacy Institute (PHAI) at Northeastern University School of Law supports Congressman Paul D. Tonko (NY-20) and Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) as they reintroduced the SAFE Bet Act, which addresses the risks associated with legalised gambling. As of 2025, 39 states and the District of Columbia have legalised sports betting, but the necessary safeguards are not in place to address the public health risks that legalising sports betting creates. The SAFE Bet Act, first introduced in September 2024, addresses those public health concerns. The SAFE Bet Act establishes federal standards while preserving the opportunity for anyone who wishes to participate in legal sports betting. These standards will address advertising, affordability and artificial intelligence issues.

Partnerships

The NCAA and EPIC Global Solutions announced an extension of their gambling harm education programme collaboration. This extended collaboration reinforces the NCAA’s long-standing commitment to protecting student-athlete well-being and the integrity of college athletics. Educating student-athletes on the dangers of sports betting continues to be a key priority for the Association. EPIC’s sessions have been a crucial piece of this education since January 2022. The NCAA and EPIC Global Solutions have partnered to educate over 80,000 student-athletes through in-person, experiential sessions at more than 270 campuses nationwide across all three divisions, making it the largest programme of its kind globally.

SCCG Management has announced a strategic partnership with Boosted Bets. This collaboration will focus on business development, capital-raising support, and global distribution, connecting Boosted Bets with strategic partners across SCCG’s ecosystem, including sportsbook platforms, operators, data providers, CRM and gamification partners. Boosted Bets introduces a new way for sports bettors to prove their skills through a contest-based wagering model. Players enter a paid challenge, receiving a simulated betting account with a larger bankroll—giving them the ability to place bets as if they were high-stakes bettors.

GAMOMAT expands its Gaming for the Climate initiative with the launch of Great Grizzly

Reading Time: 2 minutes

GAMOMAT, one of the leading independent German software developers for slot games, is launching its brand-new title “Great Grizzly” as part of its Gaming for the Climate initiative. The initiative was first launched in 2021, and the fifth game to join the initiative will support Vital Ground in its mission to protect grizzly bear habitats across North America.

A share of the GAMOMAT-revenue generated from Great Grizzly will directly benefit Vital Ground, a nationally accredited land trust specialising in conserving and connecting key habitats for grizzly bears and other wildlife. Since launching in 1990, the trust has protected and enhanced over 1 million acres of critical habitat, working to prevent human-wildlife conflicts and ensure long-term biodiversity conservation.

Set in the expansive wilds of North America, Great Grizzly takes players on a stunning journey through a kingdom ruled by the majestic grizzly bear. The grizzly bear is the big star of this new release, joined by an array of beautiful animals roaming on the reels.

Free games can carry multipliers of up to 27 and will be activated if three, four, or five golden paw print symbols are shown on the reels. Three symbols enable eight free games, four enable 15 free games, and five enable 20 free games. During free games, the golden grizzly bear can leap onto the reels, transforming eagles, lynx, wolves, and deer into the powerful bear symbol to enhance the returns.

Great Grizzly is available to all Bragg operator partners through Bragg HUB. With this latest addition, GAMOMAT’s catalogue of games supporting climate protection now includes Book of Oasis (Healthy Seas), Monkey Mania (Borneo Orangutan Survival), Lava Lions (African Wildlife Foundation), and Alexandria Fire (WeForest).

Dietmar Hermjohannes – Founder of GAMOMAT said: “Gaming for the Climate is not only raising awareness but also taking action on environmental matters close to our hearts. Vital Ground has been doing crucial conservation work to protect North America’s grizzly bears. Together, we can protect the climate while creating better places for people and wildlife. All of this is achieved through a fantastic game that celebrates the breathtaking beauty of the North American wilderness. I couldn’t be prouder of my team.”
