Trivelta buys Kerma Games, which is still hiring for a new live studio

Trivelta's chief executive files the live casino studio under 'an ambitious product roadmap'; Kerma's own job board is recruiting a live game presenter in Monterrey for a new four-table studio. Terms undisclosed.

Trivelta buys Kerma Games, which is still hiring for a new live studio

A platform vendor’s costs are engineers and uptime. A live studio’s go home at the end of a shift. Trivelta has bought a company partway into building the second kind.

Trivelta, a modular B2B iGaming platform by its own description, has acquired content studio Kerma Games on undisclosed terms, per iGaming Business, published 1 September; InterGame and TheGamblest ran it on 31 August. Kerma brings original and celebrity-led titles and, the part worth the ink, a 24/7 live dealer studio that Trivelta calls one of its “strongest differentiators”.

A studio is on the roadmap, and Kerma is still hiring

Read the acquirer on tense. Trivelta chief executive Carson Hubbard, quoted by InterGame and TheGamblest, describes buying “an ambitious product roadmap, including a 24/7 live casino studio that will bring Kerma’s games to life in an entirely new format”. Kerma’s own job board agrees: it is recruiting a Live Game Presenter in Monterrey, Mexico for a studio that “will feature four live gaming tables” — blackjack, baccarat, roulette and craps — in English, on rotating shifts.

No announcement ties that planned studio to the 24/7 one in the deal. Trivelta’s Kerma page is in the present tense — “On air 24/7”, “Real dealers, always on” — a vendor’s claim, not a rota. Always-on is a cost that renews hourly, seated or not, and Trivelta has taken it on while Kerma is still recruiting.

The licensed IP is the other unfamiliar entry. iGB reports multi-year deals with Snoop Dogg, Lil Baby, Sexyy Red and Luka Modrić; Trivelta calls them “multi-year licensed partnerships across music, sport and culture”. Multi-year is not perpetual: inputs with a renewal date, on terms no announcement discloses.

The promises, and the paperwork

Kerma keeps its brand, strategy and commercial presence, and its content stays available to operators independently of Trivelta’s ecosystem — the standard assurance, but with prior form. Kerma integrated with aggregator Alea in June 2026, iGB reported separately, and lists Alea under “our partners” beside Trivelta-platform brands ReBet, Betcorrect and Estadio Gana. Trivelta’s Kerma page is blunter: it distributed the catalogue to operators before the acquisition, so the content is “already in market, not a roadmap item”. Against its own chief executive filing the studio under roadmap, the deal reads in a line: the catalogue was already there; the studio is still in the future tense.

On status: Trivelta advertises “GLI 19 & 33 Certified” and calls its platform “regulatory-ready” — two systems-testing standards, and an adjective. Neither is a licence in any jurisdiction.

On readership: this is trade coverage for adults, not player guidance or an invitation to gamble.

The last supplier acquisition we covered failed on the regulatory calendar rather than on price. This one is reported as done, so the test is slower: whether four tables in Monterrey are dealing round the clock in twelve months, whether Kerma’s titles still sit on a rival aggregator, and what the celebrity contracts cost at renewal.
