Super League Gaming Teams Up With The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for a Build Competition Hosted on Minehut

Super League Gaming, a global leader in connecting consumer brands with video gamers of all ages through creator communities, proprietary platforms, and esports properties, and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) announced today that they are teaming up for an interactive build competition hosted by Super League’s Minecraft community, Minehut.

The inspiring virtual event will take place throughout the month of November, bringing together creative Minecraft players with LLS Honored Heroes – real-life, pediatric cancer survivors and patients. Participants will enter into an amusement park-themed lobby in Minehut, tasked to build what their dream world would look like once they or their loved one are declared cancer-free. As they join the competition, they’ll learn more about LLS Honored Heroes and their inspiring journeys.

“It is an honor to partner with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to spread awareness and raise funds for a cause that impacts nearly 55,000 children and adolescents under the age of 20 and their families every year,” says Matt Edelman, Super League Chief Commercial Officer. “It is never too early to learn that your actions can make a difference in the lives of people who need an incomparable amount of support. Gamers who participate in this competition will be helping to revolutionize blood cancer cures and care.”

“Collaborating with Super League Gaming provides LLS a game-changing moment to reach a new generation of donors,” said Coker Powell, SVP, Chief Development Officer for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. “The partnership provides an opportunity to remind the public about the urgent need to support research to fight blood cancers — a disease that is diagnosed every three minutes in the U.S. and has no current means of prevention. LLS is working tirelessly to find cures and provide more support for blood cancer patients and families than any organization in the world.”

The LLS Build Competition comes at a time when awareness and funds for LLS are uncommonly low as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Children battling blood cancer are experiencing extreme isolation as most patients, if not all, are seriously immunocompromised. This event is designed to give those fighting blood cancers an opportunity to express their creativity and play in an environment removed from their diseases.

Following the four-week competition, the creators of the best builds will be interviewed by top Minecraft influencers and featured in exclusive video content on their YouTube channels. During the building phase, players will be encouraged to promote the event and raise funds to advance The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life for current patients and their families. If players raise $250, they will receive a one-of-a-kind Minecraft LLS Build Competition Gamer Kit with special items.

The free competition concludes on December 1 but fundraising will remain open until the end of the year. Families, friends and other Minecraft players are invited to explore the virtual amusement parks and help foster strength and hope for a world beyond cancer. The Build Competition server can be accessed using the Minecraft Java Edition for PC and Mac or Minecraft Bedrock Edition for PC, Mac, iOS and Android. A Minecraft account is required.

Platipus Secures Ontario Supplier Licence

Platipus Gaming has officially obtained a supplier licence to operate in the province of Ontario, Canada. This licence allows the company to provide gaming content to licensed operators in the province and represents a significant milestone in Platipus’ ongoing focus on regulatory alignment, operational consistency, and responsible product supply.

Importance for Operators

For Ontario-licensed operators, partnering with a licensed supplier like Platipus ensures that content is delivered in line with AGCO requirements. This reduces the need for additional regulatory assessments and supports smoother integration of third-party content into licensed operations. All products are designed and supplied with responsible gambling and player protection in mind, adhering to the technical and operational standards required by the Commission.

Strategic Significance for Platipus Gaming

The Ontario licence is a reflection of Platipus’ compliance-by-design philosophy. Regulatory considerations are integrated early in the development process, rather than being addressed as a final checkpoint. This approach ensures that products, processes, and operational structures are prepared for regulated environments from the outset.

Operating under AGCO also positions Platipus to engage with other regulated markets where Ontario standards are often referenced as benchmarks. The licence supports the company’s long-term goal of maintaining consistent product quality, operational reliability, and responsible content supply across multiple jurisdictions.

Company Perspectives

A spokesperson from the Legal Department commented: “We are pleased to receive our supplier licence in Ontario and to make our gaming content and solutions available. Following a comprehensive application process, we can now formally present this achievement as part of our regulated market presence.”

Viktoriia Andreasen, Head of Marketing, added: “Ontario stands out as a well-structured and highly organised jurisdiction. It represents an important regulated market with strong operational standards”.

Ontario supplier licence confirms that Platipus can deliver content in one of the world’s most tightly regulated iGaming markets, with all technical, operational, and compliance requirements addressed.

This milestone represents more than a geographic expansion. It signals that Platipus Gaming has structured processes, robust governance, and a compliance-focused development approach, supporting sustainable regulated operations and long-term market participation.
