We can’t wait to introduce our engaging suite of content to even more new audiences, while continuing to gear up for another revolutionary product launch later this year.
GameArt Collaborates with CompetitionLabs
A new agreement has been announced between GameArt and CompetitionLabs. The agreement will see GameArt make use of CompetitionLabs’ gamification platform to provide operators with exciting new player experiences. This will apply to GameArt’s impressive portfolio of games such as African Sunset 2 and Piggy Holmes.
Those using CompetitionLabs’ platform will be able to offer players real-time leaderboard competitions and player achievements. The platform also gives operators the chance to try new rules and scoring mechanics, giving them space to innovate. The entire platform has been designed with the needs of product managers, commercial leads and marketing teams in mind, and it is the result of decades of experience in the iGaming industry.
Our clients trust us to deliver the highest quality products on the market and gamification is a crucial ingredient in today’s highly competitive environment. We are confident CompetitionLabs’ platform will improve the efficiency of our development process, allowing us to continue providing ever more engaging games that players genuinely love.
The CPO of CompetitionLabs, Julian Steinwender, said that GameArt produces “some of the best” games and that the company is excited to be bringing gamification to the impressive portfolio of titles.
Tech4Bet Content Comes to iSoftBet Platform
iSoftBet, a leading casino game supplier and content aggregator, has announced that it has added Tech4Bet to its Game Aggregation Platform (GAP) partners.

Tech4Bet’s games will immediately be available to players through Sazka, the top Czech operator. However, with iSoftBet active in 19 regulated markets around the world, it will not be long before players elsewhere can enjoy Tech4Bet’s titles. iSoftBet provides some of the industry’s biggest operators, such as LeoVegas and Betsson, and it also has partnerships with top regional brands such as Groupe Partouche in Switzerland and Rootz across Europe.
Growing our GAP offering with diverse, innovative content providers is a key focus for the business and we’re delighted to add Tech4Bet’s content to our platform. As a progressive new entrant to the igaming sphere, Tech4Bet has an exciting roadmap and we look forward to working together for a long time.
