The Warsaw-based start-up wants to be the go-to platform for all streamers to grow and monetise their passion and for brands to work with streamers to reach Gen Z viewers

Live streaming sponsorships platform inSTREAMLY has raised a €1.1m seed round led by Supernode Global to expand into new markets.

Founded in 2019 by a team of live streaming and marketing professionals, inSTREAMLY has built a platform that enables all streamers – regardless of size – access to brands and to participate and execute sponsorships.

Colopl Next and PKO TFI were also involved in the investment round and previous pre-seed investment was secured from SMOK VC, which is run by Paul Bragiel, an investor in Niantic (PokemonGO), Unity, Uber, and Stripe.

The global live streaming market is valued at $70bn and expected to rise to $184.27bn by 2027. It is extremely difficult to execute brand sponsorship deals for the live streaming market, so typically only the largest streamers with millions of followers are able to work with large brands, leaving the majority of streamers without access to brand deals. With inSTREAMLY’S technology and platform, all streamers gain access to deals previously reserved for the top 0.01% and brands are able to access a large and highly engaged community of micro-streamers, delivering the same amount of impressions, but much better conversion rates than with larger streamers.

While the industry average CTR for paid ads is 0,7%, a recent campaign with 956 streamers achieved a 4% CTR, demonstrating that smaller streamers are able to draw more engagement, which brands such as Netflix, Samsung, PlayStation, Adidas, and Reebok, among others, are capturing through inSTREAMLY’s platform.

“I personally know how life-changing it can be for a small streamer to get their first revenue from streaming. It makes you believe that you can turn your passion into a career. With the new funds, we will be accelerating our expansion to new markets and aim to deliver the best opportunities to streamers worldwide,” says Wiktoria Wójcik, co-founder, inSTREAMLY.

“We see massive potential in how inSTREAMLY is democratising sponsorship opportunities for the live streaming ecosystem and believe the team’s deep understanding of the market and passion for streaming will be a key component to their success. We’re incredibly excited to lead this round and look forward to supporting inSTREAMLY as they expand their platform into new markets.” – says Phoebe Arkell, Supernode Global.

“Media agencies and large brands are currently facing difficulties in building a sales message that would be engaging for the Generation Z. inSTREAMLY fills this gap. The value of the Company is built for all current shareholders, and we believe it will be a part of inSTREAMLY global success.” – Krzysztof Tokarski, Managing Director at PKO VC.

Amusnet has released Cocktail Splash, a high-energy crash game that blends summer vibes, fast decision-making and adrenaline-fueled gameplay into a bold new entertainment experience.

Set in a vibrant tropical ocean, Cocktail Splash throws players into a thrilling chase where a fearless rider glides across sparkling waves, cocktail in hand – while a relentless shark closes in, determined to steal the prize. Every second on the water raises the stakes as the multiplier climbs and tension builds, turning each run into a split-second decision: cash out or push further before the shark strikes.

At the heart of the gameplay is a simple but powerful risk-reward loop, enhanced by the 50% Cash Out feature, allowing players to secure part of their winnings while staying in the action for additional upside. This added layer of control creates more strategic depth without slowing down the fast-paced excitement.

Inspired by the signature Cocktail Rush experience, Cocktail Splash evolves the concept with sharper pacing, expressive visuals and an even more immersive crash structure. Powered by a Provably Fair algorithm, the game ensures transparent outcomes while maintaining the intensity and unpredictability that defines the genre.

With its mix of tropical aesthetics, instant engagement and high-stakes chase mechanics, Cocktail Splash reinforces Amusnet’s focus on delivering innovative, entertainment-driven crash titles designed to stand out in competitive game lobbies.

Amusnet continues to push the crash category forward – creating experiences that are not only visually striking but built to keep players on the edge of their seats from the first second to the last splash.

study:-400m-gen-z-esports-fans-say-brand-activations-drive-purchases

EFG, Hero Esports and Niko Partners survey 8,000 fans across eight markets; 74% report ads and brand presence influence buying.

ESL FACEIT Group (EFG), Hero Esports and Niko Partners have released a multi-country Gen Z esports study claiming around 400 million Gen Z consumers (20%) regularly engage with esports. The findings were published on 25th June 2026 in Cannes, France, in a white paper titled The Esports Generation: Who They Are & Why They Spend.

The report is based on survey data from 8,000 Gen Z esports fans aged 13-30 across eight markets. It positions esports as a high-attention channel for brands: 85% of respondents said they notice branding in esports, while 74% self-reported that advertising and brand participation in gaming spaces influences their purchasing behaviour. The study also reports that 66% have bought a product following a collaboration or co-branding partnership with an esports team, game or player.

On consumption and fandom touchpoints, the study found 71% regularly watch gaming content, including 66% who watch gaming livestreams and 33% who watch or listen to gaming podcasts. It also points to offline reach: 21% said they regularly attend gaming conventions and esports events, with the average respondent attending at least one in-person event in the past nine months.

The white paper also breaks out claimed purchase categories linked to esports collaborations over the past year, led by food and beverage (33%), electronics (33%) and fashion (32%). Beyond core categories, it reports 28% bought esports-related collectibles, 17% purchased makeup, beauty, or skincare products, and 10% bought from partnered brands in other categories.

Niccolo Maisto, CEO at ESL FACEIT Group said: “Esports has evolved into one of the most effective channels for companies looking to connect with Gen Z audiences at scale. What makes it unique is not just its reach, but the depth of engagement and trust that exists between fans, players, teams, and events. This research shows that esports fans are highly invested participants, not passive viewers, creating an opportunity for brands that show up authentically and build meaningful and lasting connections with this key audience.”

Danny Tang, Co-Founder and CEO of Hero Esports said: “This whitepaper confirms what we at Hero Esports have long believed: esports has evolved into a global cultural and economic force. The data shows an audience that is young, diverse, and deeply engaged. For brands, the message is clear—esports is no longer a niche market; it is the premier platform to connect with the next generation of consumers. We are proud to partner with Niko Partners and EFG to provide this blueprint for understanding and succeeding in this dynamic industry.”

Lisa Hanson, CEO at Niko Partners said: “Our data shows that, much like fans of other sports, Gen Z esports fans are incredibly passionate and have formed strong bonds within their communities. However, their media and consumer affinities extend well beyond gaming and esports, with our research revealing naturally connected interest areas that create valuable overlapping opportunities for brands and partners that show up authentically in this ecosystem.”
