Release 2026.01 at a glance

Admin panel 2.0

• New: back office on Symfony. The second-generation admin panel (adm2) joins the platform repository: 59 controllers, 184 forms, 77 entities with repositories, 61 services, 43 enumerations and 27 validators. Sections cover the full operator workflow: dashboard and statistics, players and gaming accounts, payments, cashier payments, gateway transfers, pay ways, domain balances, bonuses, cashback, buff cards, promo codes, promo links, promo partners and CPA settings, agents and agent links, tournaments, jackpots, fortune wheel, VIP levels and VIP scores, banners, pages, game categories, game providers, game hosters, game settings, side categories, region restrictions, routing and available domains, email templates, mail settings, mailing lists, white and black lists, messaging, technical support tickets (platform and player), bug reports, security system, system tests, cache and logs.
• New: simplified casino creation. A guided flow creates a new brand with its domain, theme and defaults in one pass.
• New: role model and security configuration with QR-code support for two-factor setup and a notifier for operational alerts.

Payments

• New: payment system interface. Every gateway implements one contract (deposit creation, callback handling, payout, status check), so new gateways are added without touching the cashier.
• New: eleven integrations in the unified framework: Antrpay, Bova, FreeKassa, GreenApi, NowPayments (crypto), Payscrow, Piastrix, Repay, RoundSquare, StreamPay and Twix.
• Improved: 217 changes in payment handling to align existing gateways with the new interface.

Platform core

• New: job queue. A queue with 35 job types and worker processes for mailings, parsers and heavy reports, so long tasks no longer run inside web requests.
• New: database migrations (319 migration files brought under version control) with a migration runner, so every installation can be upgraded reproducibly.
• New: cron scheduler with 28 jobs: bonuses, cashback, tournaments, jackpots, last wins, mailing, exchange rates, partner rewards, monthly domain turnover, game catalogue parsers for four providers, provider slot tests, spam-protection cleanup, password history cleanup, regulator block lists, site availability checks, support ticket automation and acceptance tests.
• New: API application layer. Player-facing API calls go through request objects, validators and handlers (45 handlers, 36 request types, 22 response types), with domain and infrastructure layers separated.
• New: unit test suite (136 test sources) and the test runner configuration.

Themes and games

• New: Fierspin theme, a full casino front end (131 template, script and style files) with cashier, bonuses, tournaments and profile.
• Improved: Ocean (301 changes) and Vegabro themes updated to the current cashier and bonus components.
• New: spin games module with its own controller, importer and spin logger for instant games.
• Improved: a games provider integration updated (34 changes).

Compatibility and upgrade notes

• The admin panel 2.0 runs as a separate application next to the casino engine and shares its database.
• Database migrations are mandatory from this release on; the migration runner is part of the deploy process.
• Queue workers must be running for mailings, parsers and reports.
