## Iceberg theme

- **New: full casino front end.** Iceberg ships with page templates for the sportsbook, the poker room, jackpots, the fortune wheel, support tickets, the player profile and the provider catalogue, plus a dedicated stylesheet per page (home, slots, game, bonuses, cashback, VIP, tournaments, profile, chat, FAQ, licences, payment solutions and others).

- **New: shared components.** Balance, bonus counter, currency symbol, wagering scale, "your cashback" and "your points" blocks, page loader, modals, header and footer, category slider and game element are separate includes reused across pages, so a brand can restyle one component without touching the rest.

- **Improved: cashier and bonuses** use the same components as Fierspin, which keeps player flows identical between themes.

## Performance and login

- **New: APCu bootstrap.** Configuration is cached in shared memory per process, the first step of the caching work that continued through the year.

- **New: Telegram login** in the Fierspin theme.

## Payments

- **New: Twix integration started** (completed in release 2026.04).

- **Improved:** 30 changes across the payment systems after the January framework migration.

## Theme maintenance

- **Improved:** Ocean (34 changes), Vegabro, Fierspin, Cat, Velvet, Gringo, Wow, Woo and Poker themes updated; shared language files extended.

## Compatibility and upgrade notes

- Iceberg is available as a theme option for new and existing brands; switching a brand's theme does not change its data.

- APCu must be enabled on PHP for the configuration cache; without it the platform falls back to database reads.
