“I am delighted to have achieved this launch milestone with our newest partners at BoyleSports,” NYX Gaming Group commercial director, David Johnson, said.
“NYX OGS significantly widens the deployment possibilities for our operator partners, given our industry best distribution network of real money wagering games,” he added.

William Hill Vegas has signed a deal to become sponsor of the upcoming Bad Intentions boxing match between Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte next month.
The deal marks the UK’s first major foray into professional boxing following previous marketing deals in amateur boxing through its three-year deal with the Haringey Box Cup.
“Bad Intentions is going to be the biggest British boxing show of the year and we’re delighted to be associated with this highly anticipated sporting event,” Alex O’Shaughnessy, chief marketing officer at William Hill, said.
“Vegas is synonymous with the sport of boxing and we believe the William Hill Vegas brand is an ideal fit for our first venture into big time boxing,” he continued.
Mr Green has launched a new mobile suite, including a refreshed responsive mobile website and accompanying iOS and Android apps.
Bo Wänghammar, CEO at Mr Green Online Casino, said the overhaul was a “total refactoring” of the firm’s technology and product range, adding that the operator accepts it now has to compete against general entertainment providers as well as other operators.
“We didn’t have much when it came to apps before,” said Wänghammar. “We didn’t have a fully native app, we didn’t have an Android app and we had two different platforms for mobile and desktop which will now be merged into one.”
