South Africa takes to the field in PUBGM on 28 July 2025 at 17H00.

South Africa’s Protea Esports Team for PUBGM will take on eleven other African countries. The qualifiers are to be streamed on youtube.com/live/yoVHm3_8jAk?si=sYo0jXck7e6GXYVB at 17H00.

Despite Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) having raised its concerns about only the server in Nigeria to be used for the 2025 edition of IESF’s African Regional Qualifiers – AEC25, IESF  stuck to its initial decision. The AEC25 will be used to determine which teams go through to IESF’s prestigious World Esports Championships – WEC25 – to be held be held later this year.

MSSA had advocated the use of four servers so that all teams would be equally disadvantaged during the 12 game championship. However, the suggestion seemingly was not considered. Thus certain countries will have much worse ‘ping’ than others. The north and west African states are particularly hard hit with some countries looking at having ‘ping’ up to 300 ms.

A summary of the expected ping is as follows/l

Country Estimated Ping Lagos → Country Capital or Major City
Ghana ~30–60 ms
Ivory Coast ~60–80 ms
Senegal ~80–120 ms
Morocco ~100–150 ms
Algeria ~140–160 ms
Tunisia ~150–200 ms
Egypt ~150–200 ms
Congo ~100–150 ms
Nigeria (Local) ~~20–40 ms typical within Lagos region
Somalia ~200–300 ms
Djibouti ~200–300 ms
Madagascar ~200–250 ms
Mauritius ~220–300 ms
Zimbabwe ~150–200 ms
South Africa ~77 ms (Johannesburg), ~172 ms (Cape Town)

The ping will certainly affect the final outcome of IESF’s African Regional Qualifiers.

The top five countries in IESF’s AEC24 held on August 19th – 21st, 2024 in Complexe Sportif Mohammed V, Casablanca, Morocco were (in order) 1. Egypt, 2. Morocco, 3. Mauritius, 4. Madagascar, and 5. South Africa.

Even though South Africa seems to have an advantage compared to many other African states, the sheer skill of Egypt, and Morocco cannot be discounted, and those two countries are still favourites in this event. On the other hand, Mauritius and Madagascar certainly have their work cut out for themselves with the high ping with which they will have to deal.

Even still, all athletes are hopeful and determined to give their best.

INCENTIVE GAMES AND GOLDBET LAUNCH NEW FREE-TO-PLAY GAME ‘WINNING5’

Published

on

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Incentive Games, a leading B2B games provider, has partnered with Goldbet, part of the Lottomatica Group Italy’s leading name in online gaming, to launch a new free to play weekly football game, Winning5.

The game gives football fans a chance to visit the Goldbet app each weekday to ‘collect’ a different Seria A team, selected at random, with play bonus slot, spots bonus, and a €2,000 shared jackpot up for grabs depending on how many of their teams win over the weekend.

The more winning teams players collect, the bigger the prize. From smaller wins for two correct results, to the ultimate reward for collecting all five teams, Winning5 offers players an engaging and free way to add fun to the weeks matches.

On game day, players can track their progress through real-time updates, powered by Incentive Games’ specialised data and analytics to deliver a seamless, engaging experience.

This is the first collaboration between Goldbet and Incentive Games as part of the company’s partnership with Lottomatica.

John Gordon, CEO and co-founder of Incentive Games, said, “Winning5 is designed to bring the thrill of weekend football to life, but in a way that’s free-to-play and accessible. We’re thrilled to partner with Goldbet, one of Italy’s most respected gaming brands, to deliver a product that keeps fans engaged and entertained from kick-off to the final whistle.”

Simone Occhiuzzi, Lottomatica Digital & i-Gaming Director, said, “Our objective is to ensure an ever-expanding for-fun offering for our customers. We are proud to have broadened our engagement bouquet with the introduction of Winning5, further enriching our customers’ for-fun experience.”

The game is now live for all eligible Goldbet customers in Italy.

Future-Ready iGaming: Denis Kosinsky, COO of NuxGame, Discusses AI, Innovation, and Scalable Growth

Published

on

Reading Time: 5 minutes

Denis Kosinsky, Chief Operating Officer at NuxGame, joins us for an exclusive conversation ahead of HIPTHER’s European Gaming Congress 2025.

NuxGame, a leader in delivering powerful B2B iGaming solutions from turnkey casinos and sportsbooks to crypto gaming and modular aggregation, is a General Sponsor of this year’s Congress. With expertise spanning AI personalization, blockchain integration, and real-time analytics, Denis will bring his insights to the EGC panel “Leveraging AI for Competitive Advantage.”

 

Denis, as COO of NuxGame, you coordinate strategic growth and product innovation. What do you see as the most urgent priorities for iGaming operators today?

From our daily work with operators, we see personalization as one of the most urgent priorities in iGaming today. Players expect the same tailored experience they get from platforms like Netflix or Spotify, where everything feels made just for them the moment they log in. We work closely with our operators to make that possible. Whether it’s helping a slot-focused brand surface the right providers or enabling personalized campaigns by player behavior, our goal is to shorten the path from idea to go-live. With access to more than 16,500 games from over 130 providers, integrated loyalty and tier systems, and advanced analytics, operators can test, optimize, and launch personalized experiences quickly without heavy development cycles. This speed to market is critical. When operators can react fast and deliver relevant content at the right time, players stay engaged, retention grows, and brand loyalty follows naturally. That’s exactly where we focus on helping our partners move fast, personalize smarter, and scale sustainably.

NuxGame offers a multitude of solutions: casino, sportsbook, crypto integration, game aggregator. How do you make sure that your platform stays modular and scalable, and still manage to provide a stable experience for operators and players?

Our platform is built on a modular architecture that allows each business unit such as sportsbook, casino, payments, and back office to operate independently while remaining fully connected within a unified ecosystem. This structure ensures a stable and consistent experience for both players and operators, even when new features are introduced or updates are deployed. Each module can be developed, scaled, or maintained separately, which improves reliability and reduces the risk of system-wide issues. Through standardized APIs and controlled data flows, the business units collaborate efficiently while maintaining autonomy, ensuring high performance and a seamless experience across all platform components.

You’ll be joining the panel on AI in iGaming. How do you see artificial intelligence transforming the industry in the next few years – particularly in areas like player personalization, fraud detection, and operational efficiency?

AI is already reshaping iGaming in powerful ways. In fraud detection, it can uncover complex behavior patterns that traditional monitoring often misses, such as linked accounts or unusual bonus activity. These systems continuously learn from platform data, helping operators reduce losses and improve security. Predictive models are also becoming key in decision-making. They forecast player lifetime value, churn risk, and engagement potential, allowing operators to act early with targeted campaigns or retention offers. The same technology supports smarter CRM and marketing, helping teams focus on the players who matter most. Operationally, AI is improving efficiency through automated KYC verification, odds monitoring, and compliance checks. New AI agents now assist with platform configuration and content generation, enabling faster creation of campaigns, layouts, and recommendations. For players, AI brings true personalization. Instead of hundreds of random games, they see the few most relevant titles, offers, and providers. Operators who apply these capabilities effectively will build deeper engagement, trust, and long-term loyalty.

Gamification and blockchain are big parts of the NuxGame strategy. Could you share how these technologies are boosting engagement and retention for your clients?

Gamification and blockchain are redefining how operators drive engagement and retention, and at NuxGame we focus on turning every interaction into a reason for players to stay active. Our Achievements system rewards players for meaningful actions such as first deposits, login streaks, or consistent gameplay, while event-based notifications deliver these rewards at the right moment to sustain excitement. We extend engagement even further with loyalty programs, leaderboards, and platform chat that connects players directly within the gaming environment. Players can celebrate live wins, share achievements, and compete in real time, creating a social layer that strengthens the overall experience. Another popular feature is Spin Wheel, where operators can offer customized rewards ranging from free spins to bonus credits or unique prizes. It adds instant gratification and keeps players returning for another chance to win. Blockchain technology completes this ecosystem by powering fast, secure Web3 wallet onboarding and transparent crypto transactions, building player confidence from the very first interaction. Together, these features create a seamless, rewarding, and community-driven experience that keeps players engaged and operators growing.

With over 16,500+ games from 130+ providers on your platform, content aggregation is obviously your strength. How do you build partnerships that keep your portfolio diverse, compliant, and competitive?

Our goal at NuxGame is to provide operators with the same experience they would have if they integrated directly with each individual game provider, while delivering a much higher level of efficiency, automation, and control. What makes us different is not only the scale of our portfolio, with more than 16,500 games from over 130 providers, but the quality and depth of data we deliver for every game. We go beyond simple content aggregation by sending complete and enriched game metadata through our API. This includes detailed information such as bonus exposure, available provider promotions, tournament participation, and automated big-win checks. Most providers do not share this level of data, which makes it a key advantage for our partners. By providing it through the API, we eliminate a large amount of manual work for operators, simplify campaign management, and allow instant personalization and reporting. It is not just about having a large and diverse game portfolio. It is about giving operators the tools and real-time data they need to create dynamic, localized player experiences and make smarter business decisions. This is the foundation of our approach at NuxGame and what defines us as a true technology partner rather than just an aggregator.

NuxGame has been a pioneer in cryptocurrency integration. How do you balance the opportunities of Web3 with the obstacles of regulation, security, and user adoption in gaming?

Crypto and Web3 offer huge opportunities for iGaming, but success depends on security, compliance, and user experience. At NuxGame, we built our crypto solution to feel familiar to users of leading exchange platforms, with seamless wallet connections, real-time balances, and instant transactions. The system supports BTC, ETH, USDT, and other major assets, with Web3 wallet integration and direct crypto purchases for fast onboarding. For operators, it delivers built-in fraud prevention, risk monitoring, and compliance-ready reporting. This combination of trust, speed, and intuitive UX makes crypto adoption easy for players and expansion safe for operators.

So what’s next for NuxGame? Are there particular markets or partnerships you’re most excited about as you continue to expand?

We are putting a strong focus on the US market, particularly on enabling operators to launch faster within the sweepstakes model. This segment is growing rapidly but comes with complex regulatory and technical requirements. NuxGame is fully prepared for it with dual-currency logic, built-in compliance automation, and a complete payment orchestration layer that eliminates the typical setup delays operators face. Our platform provides a ready-made, legally tested foundation, so clients can go live without spending months on integrations or legal reviews. Combined with affiliate management, engagement tools, and modular scalability, operators can focus on growth rather than setup. The sweepstakes model is a major opportunity in the US, and our goal is to make NuxGame the go-to solution for fast, compliant, and profitable entry into that market.

Thank you, Denis, for sharing your vision and perspective on how technology is shaping the future of iGaming. We’re excited to hear more from you live on stage at the European Gaming Congress 2025!

Join us at the European Gaming Congress 2025 | 30–31 October | Warsaw
