On 21 May 2024, GameArt announced that its slot portfolio was being integrated into the aggregation platform of United Remote, a Maltese company that also presents itself as a game development studio.
In 2022, United Remote cited B2B licence MGA/B2B/283/2014, issued by the Malta Gaming Authority on 1 August 2018. Its head office was in the 14 East tower in Gzira.
GameArt, a studio licensed by the MGA since 6 February 2023 (licence MGA/B2B/966/2022), speaks through Vid Daolio, then Head of Account Management. United Remote speaks through Carlo Borg, its director.
The press release names no market, no casino, no game, no figure and no go-live date.
United Remote combines aggregation (more than 2,000 games claimed in August 2020), white-label casino platforms and game production under the United Remote Games brand.
From December 2020, its platform powered the German sites of Lapalingo and Lord Lucky. Until 2022, its partners (Push Gaming, iSoftBet, BGaming) named Germany as a target market.
The deal is GameArt's ninth distribution announcement of 2024, a little over a month after its games arrived on the Bulgarian platform Anakatech on 15 April.
YG Masters is the Yggdrasil partner programme GameArt joined in November 2020. SlotVision is a studio it bought in May 2022. Neither is an aggregator.
After GR8 Tech in September 2024, GameArt announced no further technical intermediary until EGT Digital's aggregator on 12 August 2026.
Online casino rules depend on where you live. Some countries license online slots, others ban them, and only an operator licensed in your own jurisdiction offers a legal framework.
On 21 May 2024, GameArt's news feed carried two items side by side. One was the release of Shining Royal 20, a classic fruit slot. The other was a short press release announcing that the Maltese provider's slots were joining United Remote's aggregation platform. In a spring this crowded with signings, the second item could easily go unnoticed. Yet United Remote is no ordinary intermediary. Aggregator, platform provider, in-house studio and technical engine behind casino brands focused on Germany, the Maltese company wears several hats at once. That hybrid profile, documented by the trade press from 2020 to 2022, is what gives the deal its interest (and its blind spots).
What does the 21 May 2024 United Remote GameArt deal include?
GameArt's press release of 21 May 2024 boils down to one piece of information: the developer's HTML5 slot portfolio is integrated into United Remote's aggregation platform. The partner is described as a modern platform combined with a development studio. It is active in aggregation, game creation and B2B services for online gaming.
The rest has to be read between the lines. No country, no partner casino, no title, no volume, no go-live date. I have read enough press releases of this kind since 2011 to know their grammar: when a text names neither a market nor a game, it formalises a technical connection, not games on the shelf. The games then reach each client casino at its own pace, depending on the approvals in the country where it operates.
To grasp what this means, picture the aggregator as a wholesaler. The studio delivers its catalogue once, through a single technical integration. Every casino plugged into the platform can then draw on the stock without negotiating a direct contract with each provider. For a mid-sized company, the time saved is considerable. When covering the deal signed almost four months later with GR8 Tech, I described the other ways to plug a studio into a casino, from direct integration to the turnkey platform.
What Carlo Borg and Vid Daolio say
Two people speak in the release. Carlo Borg, introduced as director of United Remote, praises "visually stunning and feature-rich slot games". He says the deal strengthens both his platform and the range offered by connected operators. Vid Daolio, then head of account management at GameArt, calls it "a significant milestone" for the company. He is counting on his partner's aggregation know-how to reach a wider audience.
Nothing unexpected there. This is shop-window vocabulary, and it would be unfair to ask more of it than it promises. One detail still catches my eye. In spring 2024, two other GameArt connections were handled by account managers. In March, Dea Kravos signed the one with Esofthall, a turnkey solutions provider for online casinos. In April, Yauheni Charniuk took care of Anakatech, before signing the GR8 Tech deal in September. For United Remote, it was the head of the department who spoke. A sign of importance or simply a matter of who handled which file? The press release does not settle it, and I will not settle it on its behalf.
Who is United Remote?
United Remote is a Maltese B2B services company for online gaming. In 2022, it presented itself as the holder of licence MGA/B2B/283/2014, issued by the Malta Gaming Authority on 1 August 2018. Its address was on the third floor of the 14 East tower in Gzira.
Its public story picked up speed in 2020. Led by Jeremy Fall, the company was then coming out of a restructuring: technology investment, renegotiated agreements and stronger player protection. In May, it moved its head office into the tower that European Gaming describes as Malta's second-tallest building. A team of more than thirty people worked there across three floors. Jeremy Fall saw the move as a vote of confidence in Malta. I mostly see a showcase address, the kind that says "we are here to stay" before the next deal is even signed.
A platform and a studio under one roof
United Remote runs three businesses at once, which sets it apart from a pure aggregator.
Aggregation: more than two thousand games claimed as early as 2020
In August 2020, as more than 100 HTML5 games from Wazdan arrived, United Remote claimed a catalogue of more than 2,000 games. They were presented as a complement to its own titles. Swintt had opened the series in January with more than 50 games. Revolver Gaming extended it in May by handing over its entire game library, upcoming releases included. From one partner to the next, the mechanism stays the same: each connected studio adds a little more stock to the shelf where client casinos help themselves.
The platform: Lapalingo and Lord Lucky in the shop window
The second business is less visible and carries more weight. In December 2020, Rabbit Entertainment won the Rising Star in Casino award at the SBC Awards. European Gaming then noted that lapalingo.de and lordlucky.de ran on United Remote's platform. Their virtual slot offering had been certified by TÜV AUSTRIA as compliant with the new German regulation. In April 2021, Intergame described the company as a provider of platform and white-label solutions. In January and February 2022, trade press reports went further. They presented United Remote as operating brands such as Lapalingo, Tigerspin, ElCarado and BetandPlay alongside Rabbit Entertainment, across Malta and Germany.
So this wholesaler also owns shops, or at least runs those of a close partner. For a studio, that means the promise of real outlets. For anyone looking at the deal from the outside, it is an invitation to check where those outlets are.
The in-house studio: United Remote Games
Third hat, and the most discreet one: production. In May 2020, the company said its United Remote Games brand was releasing new titles at an increasing pace. In 2022 as in 2024, it still presented itself as a development studio. Mixing roles like this is not forbidden. It simply deserves to be known, because an aggregator that produces its own games also distributes rival titles to its in-house catalogue.
From Swintt to GameArt: more than four years of announcements
Put end to end, the press releases and trade press articles draw a clear trajectory.

How does the United Remote deal differ from YG Masters and SlotVision?
GameArt did not wait for United Remote to rely on third parties. On 11 November 2020, the provider joined YG Masters, Yggdrasil's partner programme. On 19 May 2022, it announced the acquisition of the SlotVision studio. It then published that studio's games under the "SlotVision powered by GameArt" brand.
These three names sometimes end up in the same sentence, as if they belonged to the same family. In reality, they describe three different kinds of relationship.

Distribution deal with an aggregator
Integration of the slot portfolio into an aggregation platform, for a wider audience
Vid Daolio, Head of Account Management
With YG Masters, GameArt rents a unit in a large provider's shopping mall. The host supplies the tools and opens its address book. With SlotVision, it buys a craftsman's workshop and sells the output under its own sign. At United Remote, it hands its goods to a wholesaler. SlotVision was therefore never an aggregator. YG Masters was closer to a distribution partnership backed by a provider than to aggregation in the strict sense.
Does the deal open Germany to GameArt slots?
From late 2020 to 2022, almost every major United Remote announcement leads back to Germany. Lapalingo and Lord Lucky ran on its platform. In April 2021, Push Gaming relied on it to move towards the German market as regulation took shape. In January 2022, iSoftBet saw it as a partner well established in Germany. In May 2022, BGaming modified its games to satisfy the German regulator.
GameArt's press release, on the other hand, never mentions the country. The question is worth asking, without answering it on behalf of the parties involved.
What the German treaty requires from an online slot
Stake: €1 maximum per game round, a cap the authority can adjust;
Duration: at least five seconds per game round, on average;
Start: each round begins with a player action, with no automatic chaining;
Jackpots: stakes or winnings may not be accumulated to fund future prizes;
Simultaneous play: playing several virtual slot machines at once is prohibited.
This framework is changing. Since 1 July 2026, the GGL, the joint gambling authority of the German states, has allowed licensed operators to offer stake tiers of €3 and €5 per round. Both are reserved for players aged 21 or over. The €5 tier also requires 90 days without warning signs and consent to enhanced monitoring. The measure runs until 31 December 2027.
A slot designed for Malta or Italy must therefore be reworked before it enters the German market, exactly as BGaming did in 2022. An aggregator works like a passport: it opens the border, but it does not stamp the visa. With no list of markets in the press release, any picture of where GameArt games are distributed through United Remote is guesswork. I would rather tell you so than draw random arrows across a map of Europe.
Where does the deal fit in GameArt's strategy?
The United Remote partnership closes a run of nine distribution announcements published by GameArt in under twelve weeks, from 28 February to 21 May 2024, according to its news feed. Six involve technical intermediaries (Torrero, Esofthall, Vibra Solutions, Anakatech, Uplatform and United Remote). Three involve operators (Paf, JACKS.NL and DOXXbet).
Universal Soft followed in July, then GR8 Tech in September. After that, no technical intermediary appears in GameArt's feed until EGT Digital on 12 August 2026. In the meantime, the provider signed with operators and information sites. After the spring 2024 burst, it has clearly moved to another table, betting on partners closer to the player than to the plumbing.
What you can check yourself
Two checks, the ones I run before writing a single line of B2B online gambling news, are enough to put this kind of announcement in its proper place. The first concerns licences. Both United Remote's licence and GameArt's can be looked up in the MGA Licensee Register. It lets you search for a company by name and see the status of its authorisation. A licence quoted in a press release is only a snapshot taken on the date of the text.
The second concerns your own country. Online casino rules vary widely: some jurisdictions license online slots, others restrict or prohibit them. Most regulators publish a public list of authorised businesses, such as the UK Gambling Commission's public register. A GameArt slot found on a site that is not licensed where you live is played outside any approved framework, whatever platform delivered it. Staying in control starts with knowing who is behind the screen.
FAQs:
What is United Remote?
A Malta-based B2B provider that obtained a Malta Gaming Authority licence in 2018. It aggregates games from third-party studios, supplies casino platforms, including white-label ones, and produces its own titles under the United Remote Games brand.
When did GameArt partner with United Remote?
GameArt made the partnership official on 21 May 2024. No go-live schedule came with the announcement.
Which GameArt games are available through United Remote?
The studio refers to its entire slot portfolio without naming a single title. What a player finally sees depends on the connected casino and on the approvals obtained in the country where that casino operates.
Who runs United Remote?
In the 2024 press release, Carlo Borg speaks as director. In 2020, the company was led by Jeremy Fall, described as CEO and later as Group CEO.
What is the difference between a studio and an aggregator?
The studio designs and produces the games. The aggregator gathers them and makes them available to many casinos through a single integration. United Remote stands out because it does both.
Are SlotVision and YG Masters aggregators?
No. SlotVision is a slot studio bought by GameArt in May 2022. YG Masters is Yggdrasil's partner programme, which GameArt joined in November 2020 to access its tools and its operator network.
Are GameArt games reaching Germany through United Remote?
Nothing confirms it, since the press release names no market. To be offered legally in Germany, an online slot must also meet the technical requirements of the GlüStV 2021, which means an adapted version of the game.
Can I play GameArt slots in my country?
Only if local law allows online slots and the site holds a licence valid where you live. The game must also be approved there, so your national regulator's list of licensed operators is the reference.
