F*Bastards: Cyprus slot studio that entered iGaming in 2022
F*Bastards is a slot developer from Cyprus that says it entered iGaming in 2022. It makes slots and crash-style games under a deliberately cheeky brand, and its own site lists more than 50 games.
The studio
Who F*Bastards are
F*Bastards describes itself as an online game development company from Cyprus that stepped onto the iGaming scene in 2022. Coverage in iGamingBusiness and European Gaming also places the studio in Cyprus. Matt Ferreto, co-founder and chief operating officer, speaks for the company in interviews and press releases.
The brand is provocative on purpose, and press material calls the team renegades and rule-breakers. The studio says it builds every game from scratch, without reskins or reused graphics, and that its games use a certified, cryptographically secure RNG. It did not name the testing lab in any source we found.
The catalogue is mostly video slots, including Bad Babushkas, Football Hooligans, Demon Slayer and East London Boys, plus a crash game, Crash Squad. The studio’s site now lists more than 50 games. In November 2023 it cited 30 original titles. The IGP catalogue currently lists 41 F*Bastards titles.
Its distribution grew mainly through aggregators and platforms. The studio’s site lists integrations with SOFTSWISS, Hub88, Digitain, Pin-Up, SoftGamings and Slotegrator, among others. Its late-2023 announcements added BetConstruct, 10BET and, for African markets, Aardvark.

What makes it different
What the studio is built around
F*Bastards pairs a loud brand with some specific claims about how it builds games.
Built from scratch, not reskinned
The studio says it builds every game from scratch, without reskins, repeated features or reused graphics. It also says its games run on maths models that have worked in retail games.
Aimed at gamers
Its COO says the studio targets next-gen players who grew up with triple-A video games. The titles and themes, such as Football Hooligans and Bad Babushkas, reflect that tone.
Arcades line
In February 2024 it announced F*Bastards Arcades, a set of slots based on classic machines from Germany, Italy, Romania, the UK, Lithuania and the Netherlands.
Operator tools included
The studio says it supplies free rounds, free spins and other in-game marketing tools. It also offers its own back office with financial reports and game histories for individual players.
Where it runs
Markets and licensing
F*Bastards says its games first became popular in Cyprus before it offered them worldwide. It reaches operators mainly through aggregators and platforms. The studio’s site lists SOFTSWISS, Hub88, Digitain, Pin-Up, SoftGamings and Slotegrator among its integrations, and late-2023 announcements added a route into African markets through Aardvark.
We found no licence or licence number published by the studio. It says its games use a certified, cryptographically secure RNG, but it does not name the test house. One review site says it holds licences in Latvia and Estonia, which we could not verify. The operator tells IGP its markets and IGP confirms which titles can launch there.
- Studio licence: none published
- RNG: described as certified; test lab not named
- Latvia and Estonia licences: review-site claim, unverified
- Integrations listed: SOFTSWISS, Hub88, Digitain, Slotegrator
