Bidstack, the leading in-game advertising platform, has announced two new gaming partnerships that will expand the company’s global reach and continue the strong commercial progress they have seen so far in 2021.

The new partnerships will see Bidstack deliver non-intrusive in-game ads for Gold Town Games (World Hockey Manager) and Spinoff Games (Disc Golf Valley) as they look to capitalise on a new, incremental revenue stream that is designed to protect their artwork and most importantly, respect the experience of the player.

World Hockey Manager is a mobile game that is available across iOS and Android devices, it allows players to create and control their own ice hockey club. It is the world’s first mobile hockey manager game and will feature in-game ads and in-menu ads delivered by Bidstack. While Gold Town Games have integrated Bidstack’s SDK to create a new sustainable revenue stream that sits alongside their existing monetisation strategies.

Disc Golf Valley is a disc golf game that allows players to take on a collection of spectacular disc golf courses around the world whilst competing in tournaments and playing against their friends online. The game, which is available on Android, iOS and PC, was released in June 2021 by Spinoff Games. The in-game ad placements fit in seamlessly with the gameplay and feature around the starting tee of each course as players prepare to take on each challenge.

Of the new partnerships Antoine Jullemier, Head of Supply at Bidstack said “We are delighted to be partnering with Gold Town Games and Spinoff Games.

These partnerships diversify the audiences brands can reach in-game with Bidstack. More importantly though, they empower our gaming partners to continue creating great games with a monetisation strategy that respects their artwork as well as enhancing the gaming experience which supports customer acquisition and retention.”

R. Franco Digital has launched Crash Raiders, a new crash-style game that uses a grid format instead of traditional reels and paylines.

In Crash Raiders, players move across a grid to uncover prizes while avoiding traps that end the run. Each successful step increases the prize pot, and players can choose to cash out at any point or continue for a higher return.

The game includes four modes. Normal Mode lets players customise grid size, prizes and traps. Turbo Mode uses pre-selected routes for faster play, while Mystery and Mystery Turbo Modes apply full randomness to routes and outcomes.

Crash Raiders also adds an Extra Life mechanic that allows a player to revive once per game after hitting a trap, keeping accumulated winnings in play.

Javier Sacristán Franco, International Business Director at R. Franco Digital, said: “With Crash Raiders, we set out to create a highly engaging hybrid experience that blends strategy with high volatility gameplay. By giving players control over risk and path selection, we deliver a dynamic format that captures the excitement of every decision.”

Evoplay has launched Caramelo Dog Lucky Run, a new crash-style instant win game themed around Brazilian street culture and the widely recognised “Caramelo Dog” reference.

The title follows Taco, a dog navigating a neighbourhood filled with obstacles. Players move step by step across roads as the multiplier increases, choosing to cash out or keep going.

Evoplay said the game uses randomised obstacle patterns so each round plays differently. Players can choose between four difficulty settings — Easy, Medium, Hard, and Hardcore — with higher difficulty increasing obstacle intensity and the multiplier.

Caramelo Dog Lucky Run also includes a cash-out function that can be triggered after Taco safely stops, plus customisable autoplay settings for stake preferences and stop conditions.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Caramelo Dog Lucky Run brings a completely fresh personality to our portfolio through its vibrant Brazilian-inspired setting and charming main character.

“Players in Brazil need games that feel familiar, authentic and culturally connected to them. When a player recognises something that reflects their everyday life and online culture, it creates a far deeper level of engagement than entertainment alone, and that is exactly what Caramelo does in this game.”
