Justin Simmons Next NFL Star to #RepTheSet

Published

on

 

XSET, the groundbreaking lifestyle and gaming organization, announced today that Denver Broncos free safety Justin Simmons is the newest addition to their already impressive roster of talent.

An avid gamer and esports spectator from an early age, Simmons got his start in 2003 playing the original Call of Duty on PC. But it wasn’t just his love of esports that attracted Simmons to XSET, but an introduction from existing XSET talent, investor, and fellow NFL star Kyle Van Noy of the New England Patriots.

“Kyle is a good buddy of mine, and when I found out he was an avid gamer as well and involved with XSET, I was excited to learn more. He told me about their organization, the role he plays and I think he knew right away that this was something for me,” said Simmons. “ I was really impressed with how they set themselves apart from different orgs out there. The platform they have and how they cover a multitude of different areas all while giving back and supporting their communities is unmatched. That to me is the biggest thing. I love being able to give back and XSET is the best at doing that. I am excited to see where the future of esports leads. Like any sport, it takes special craft to be one of the best. I think it’s an industry that clearly has huge growth potential.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Justin to XSET,” added XSET COO and co-founder Marco Mereu. “He is a role model on and off the field, and truly embodies what our organization stands for and we look forward to building the future of XSET with him.”

As part of the XSET roster of talent, the two-time Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee will stream and play some of his favorite titles, including Valorant and Call of Duty: Warzone – who he enjoys playing with Broncos teammate Courtland Sutton. In addition, the team will announce additional exciting initiatives in the coming months.

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.
