ATLAS-IAC, the leading sportsbook and PAM software developer, will make its debut at G2E Asia, the continent’s premier sports betting and igaming summit, next week at the exclusive Marina Bay Sands Singapore (24-26 August).

The company will take this timely opportunity to showcase its diverse, cutting-edge automated trading tools and fully automated CRM solution, which allows the complete management of customer marketing and communication activities in one place. Customers can now be grouped into profiled segments – based on site activity, betting behaviour, deposit regularity and a host of additional personal traits.

Get in touch to book a meeting to discuss the full platform, consider its “no-risk” sportsbook option, or simply stop by Stand B812, where delegates will be waiting to greet you or arrange an easy-to-follow demonstration.

ATLAS-IAC’s next-generation sportsbook can also now be integrated as an iFrame on a no-risk structure, running off unique pricing models – allowing users to enjoy sophisticated and reactive in-play odds up to the last second of a game, with competitive pricing on all sports. This service arrives in perfect time for this autumn’s relentless sporting schedule, including the forthcoming football World Cup.

ATLAS-IAC’s modern technology helps to overcome local regulatory challenges with a light physical deployment backed up by centralised control systems. The company has always placed a strong premium on social responsibility and its solution offers full workflow management across AML and customer interactions as well as flexible tools for self-exclusion, time-outs and self-imposed limits.

Among ATLAS’s assorted tailored solutions for Asian operators are localized sports betting products, coupled with data feed solutions and a full suite of casino and skill-based games.

Richard Thorp, Strategic Advisor to ATLAS-IAC and RPM Gaming Director, said: “G2E Asia 2022 brings together over 95% of all Asian operators and all major industry players to gain a deeper insight into the latest market trends and offer a wide array of networking opportunities. It’s the must-make marketplace for Asia’s flourishing sports betting and igaming sector, and I’m delighted to be back.

“Thanks to our progressive partnership with ATLAS-IAC, we now provide unrivalled customised platform solutions, industry-leading automation and world-class support. To learn more about ATLAS-IAC’s automation technology and the benefits of our platform, just drop us a line, or pop by Stand B812 where my team and I look forward to greeting you.

“And should any Asian operator or casino be looking to mitigate the potential risk of integrating a new sportsbook, our sportsbook solution will now uniquely underwrite all the trading downside for running its services as a statement of intent and the ability of its underlying platform to deliver in any Asian market.

“The idea behind it is mainly aimed at casino operators or other single product operators, especially ones that aren’t used to a sportsbook solution itself. For example, those who wouldn’t want to have a trading team; they might ostensibly baulk at the typical risks involved in running a sportsbook. Many people – based on previous roles I’ve had – often looked at sportsbooks as being a high-risk offering or volatile area to operate in. But our idea is, if you are a casino operator, we will integrate as an iframe into your platform – and we will underwrite all the risk. You literally don’t have to burn any fuel managing it, nor worrying about it. We’ll take care of everything. And if there is any downside, as I say, we’ll underwrite that.”

Sergei Efimenko, CEO of ATLAS-IAC, added: “G2E Asia is a must-attend event, and there’s a real momentum behind this year’s renewal in Singapore, especially after all the challenges of the pandemic. It’s fantastic to be back together en masse. I’m thoroughly impressed with the quality, quantity and diversity of the delegates on site, so I can’t wait to catch up with old and new friends alike.

“As for our leading sportsbook platform, we’re supremely confident in the automation, and we know how to manage diverse customer bases, premised on their history and the patterns of behaviour. So, whatever previous concerns may’ve been around operating a sportsbook (e.g. betting just before an event starts, betting at a time where there potentially is an unreliable feed) we have the tools to spot that and correct for it. As a result, for us, underwriting wasn’t a big challenge, and we are willing to do that on a competitive revenue-share model for new partners.

“The ATLAS-IAC team will be on Stand B812 throughout the week.”

There is still much more to achieve.”

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.

The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.

Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:

“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.

“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.

“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”

Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.

“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.
