InGamePlay brand advertising platform AdInMo and on-device contextual intelligence platform NumberEight have announced a partnership to drive privacy-first personalization for in-game advertising.

AdInMo’s InGamePlay brand advertising platform enables immersive brand experiences, where ads are seamlessly integrated directly into gameplay and do not interrupt player immersion. Click-free ad units offer a more authentic engagement for advertisers looking to reach new and hard-to-reach audiences.

AdInMo’s ad targeting is based on player data and the partnership with NumberEight allows AdInMo to collect additional behavioural signals. The two partners share a privacy-first approach and aim to tackle mobile addressability of in-game advertising at scale by leveraging untapped first-party data.

NumberEight offers Mobex (mobile context), live context and behavioural audiences, to advertisers without the need for personally identifiable information (PII), advertising IDs or cookies. Utilising on-device computing and mobile sensors, NumberEight’s AI platform can detect live contexts, including if a user is playing at home, while commuting, or during a work break. The AI technology groups these actions into behavioral segments stored on the device without the need for tracking, creating a new opportunity never before available to brands.

Kristan Rivers, CEO and Co-Founder of AdInMo added: “We’re delighted to be working with the team at NumberEight. We have a shared vision: that mobile advertisers should celebrate not fear the demise of user tracking. The ability to offer advertisers hyper-targeted campaigns without the need for PII or identifiers is a ground-breaking achievement in ad tech, and respects the increasing awareness that consumers have of their digital privacy. NumberEight’s device data signals will augment AdInMo’s unique PlayerPersonasFramework to offer real-time relevant personalized brand experiences, at scale.

We’re currently running trials with several publishers across our global mobile games inventory leveraging the data from NumberEight to offer AdInMo’s demand partners better targeting for their in-game advertising campaigns.”

NumberEight CEO, Abhishek Sen, added: “We’re excited to be partnering with the team at AdInMo to help advertisers better understand mobile gamers with behavioral and contextual data that doesn’t rely on PII or identifiers. Nearly everyone on the planet has a mobile phone and over half of them play mobile games, resulting in a rich diversity of both game genres and players. Mobile gamers definitely do not conform to traditional gaming stereotypes and on-device contextual signals help better understand these diverse and hard-to-reach audiences.

Through this partnership, we aim to help AdInMo’s publishers maximize the value of their mobile inventory while also allowing advertisers to reach these relevant and diverse audiences in the moments that matter most. Thus delivering both the needed scale and upholding user privacy principles – all this in a sector as exciting as mobile gaming!”

Tonybet says a player in Laurier-Station, Canada has claimed the “golden card” prize worth $20,000 CAD in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection. The announcement was made Tuesday 21st July 2026.

The World Cup collection featured 51 cards in total, including 48 digital cards representing participating World Cup nations, plus three unique prize cards in bronze, silver and gold. Tonybet said the bronze card—available during the group stage—was previously found by a customer in Saint-Colomban, Canada, while the silver card—available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals—was won by a player in County Kildare, Ireland.

The golden card became available for the semi-final, third-place play-off and final, and has now been claimed, Tonybet said.

Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “You can plan a campaign down to the last detail, but you can’t plan what the World Cup brings.

“We designed the collection to evolve with the tournament, and every knockout round created new stories we couldn’t have predicted. Seeing players complete their collections and discovering who would uncover each prize was the most rewarding part of the campaign.

“I hope everyone enjoyed the experience for what it was meant to be: a fun addition to the tournament, played responsibly and always within their limits.”

Tonybet said the collection will remain open until 31 July for players who are still completing sets and spending coins, although all grand prizes have been awarded.
