Mancala Gaming and M88 New Partnerships to Boost Content Reach in New Deals
Mancala Gaming is a software developer for the best online casinos and games, such as slots and dice slots. The company was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Prague. They presently possess over fifty different casino games.
Mancala Gaming is renowned for having innovative slot game concepts. They are also related to providing excellent customer service and conducting business honestly. The organization offers ideal technical solutions compatible with all current technologies and helpful retention tools (free spins, jackpots, trigger events).
During the last decade, you’ve probably heard or seen the term “Mansion” on sports television, but I bet you don’t know much about this organization. The Mansion is one of Asia’s largest gaming companies. It served only this market until the early 2000s, when it erupted onto the global stage.
Mansion has a significant online presence, and M88, an Asian online betting service, is no exception. M88’s headquarters are in Gibraltar, but it has a UK web address and a UK gambling license, allowing it to conduct business in the UK.
Betbazar and Mancala Join Forces
Betbazar, an international B2B iGaming marketplace, and Mancala Gaming, a Prague-based online games firm, have announced a new partnership.
With this ground-breaking arrangement, Betbazar’s top-tier operator partners in regulated countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia will be able to offer Mancala Gaming’s extensive library of entertaining games.
In addition, by adding Mancala’s product to its marketplace, Betbazar goes closer to achieving its goal of providing a comprehensive selection of iGaming services, including Esports, slots, Provably Fair Games, and Live Casino.
Wild Velvet, Book of Wealth, Candy Clash, and Portal Master are some games available on Mancala.
Nikita Gorskov, the chief executive officer of Mancala Gaming, stated, “We are thrilled to begin collaborating with our friends at Betbazar. We are confident that this will be an excellent cooperation. They are not just professionals in their disciplines but also members of a caring, ambitious group willing to take on new challenges. We hope to collaborate for a very long time.”
Betbazar’s chief operating officer, Max Sevostianov, stated that Mancala Gaming’s online slots have an excellent reputation in the iGaming industry for attracting Generation Y players. Our B2B marketplace will accelerate company growth by assisting them in locating sales leads. We can create long-term, sustainable development if we truly comprehend the needs of our partners.”
M88 Inks New Deal With Livespins
The Mansion Group’s most prominent online casino and sportsbook is M88. It has just announced a new agreement with Livespins, a renowned developer of original and entertaining iGaming games.
M88 will also utilize the Livespins Ambassador function, which enables the operator to use its brand ambassadors and influencers as broadcasters to increase acquisition and allow players to wager on their favorite celebrities.
The agreement provides M88 players with an entirely new method for playing online casino games. The Livespins team of streamers uses the hundreds of games from Relax Gaming, Yggdrasil, and iSoftBet that are integrated into the platform to create highly entertaining and engaging streams.
Michael Pedersen, the Chief Commercial Officer of Livespins, remarked, “It’s fantastic to have M88 join our family, and it’s a first for M88’s players to be able to enjoy online casinos in an entirely new way.
Streaming casinos and slot games are in high demand and will continue to grow. By partnering with Livespins, M88 will be able to match this demand and provide its players with an unprecedented enjoyable, social, and ultimately thrilling experience.”
In addition to the live-streaming option in M88’s online casino lobby, the new relationship provides additional opportunities to participate. The deal states that the company will benefit from Livespins’ Ambassador product.
This one-of-a-kind solution enables the operator to stream content from its brand ambassadors and influencers. Conversely, M88 can profit from having ambassadors who can communicate with its supporters.
Because Livespins is located in the casino lobby, players have access to all the resources and tools for safe and responsible gambling that are required by the many licenses held by the operator. This allows M88 to capitalize on the popularity of casino streaming while adhering to the laws and remaining in business.
Joy Lao, head of the M88 Operational Division, stated, “Livespins is taking the online casino industry by storm.
The Livespins experience is truly unparalleled, and we can now stream slots and other casino games for our players to watch in our casino lobby. This provides excellent value, but only if done responsibly and in a manner that ensures player safety.”

The deal between Arsenal Football Club and Emirates has been renewed, making it one of the longest-running and most recognisable partnerships in world sport.
Both parties first came together as partners in 2006 and have since built one of football’s defining partnerships. Spanning the entire Emirates Stadium era, the relationship has evolved alongside the club – supporting Arsenal’s ambitions, strengthening both organisations’ global reach and creating new ways for supporters around the world to connect with Arsenal.
The latest deal will see Emirates continue as the Champions’ front-of-shirt, training kit and stadium naming rights partner through to 2033.
The renewal comes at a pivotal moment in the club’s history following its recent Premier League title. The new agreement will build on many of the flagship initiatives that have defined the partnership, including the Emirates Cup, which brings world-class football to Emirates Stadium each summer, and Global Gooners, which gives supporters from around the world the opportunity to experience Arsenal in North London for the first time.
The next chapter of the partnership will begin this weekend as Arsenal welcome Borussia Dortmund to North London for the Emirates Cup, with a programme of anniversary activity celebrating more than two decades of shared history while looking ahead to the next chapter still to be written. Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline, will attend alongside Arsenal senior leadership as part of the celebrations.
Launching alongside the partnership renewal is a new cinematic film featuring Arsenal legend Per Mertesacker. Set inside an antique shop filled with objects from across the Emirates era, the film celebrates two decades of shared memories between Arsenal, Emirates and our supporters, reflecting on the history we’ve made together and the moments still to come.
“Winning the Premier League is an incredibly proud moment in our club’s history and one that belongs to everyone connected with Arsenal. Emirates has been an integral part of this success – standing alongside us throughout this journey and sharing in the defining moments, challenges and successes that have shaped our club over the past two decades,” the chief executive of Arsenal, Mr Richard Garlick, stated.
On his part, the President of Emirates Airline, Sir Tim Clark, said, “Over the last two decades, Emirates and Arsenal have built something that goes far beyond a traditional partnership, and one we are immensely proud of. We have grown alongside the club through changes of era and ambition, united by a shared goal of bringing people closer to what they love.
“In practice, that has meant reaching the millions who follow Arsenal across the Emirates network and beyond and creating experiences for them that neither of us could have done alone.”
Nigeria’s Super Falcons will look to secure their place in the quarter-finals when they face Egypt in their final Group C match on Wednesday at 9:00 pm at the ongoing WAFCON 2026 in Morocco.
