KUDOS LABS BUILDING A PLATFORM THAT WILL REWARD THE GAMING COMMUNITY IN WAYS NEVER SEEN BEFORE
Kudos Labs announced plans of building a new groundbreaking community focused gaming and technology rewards platform. Created for gamers, by gamers, its mission is to allow everyone in the community, regardless of platform or genre, to connect and receive rewards. Points can be earned through shopping, playing games, watching content or simply being part of the Kudos Labs community, and then exchanged for highly desired rewards as a gamer..
Aiming to disrupt the existing siloed gaming ecosystem, the new rewards platform will adopt a community first approach. Rewards will be carefully curated to deliver real value to gamers, including things like V-Bucks for Fortnite or CS:GO skins, exclusives, new headsets, a fully customized PC, early access to certain games or money can’t buy experiences – such as the recent LEC community demo party which took place in Malmö in September with some of the biggest names in League of Legend. Kudos Labs wants to make everything you dream of as a gamer come true.
Wasae Imran (Co-Founder and Co-CEO) will be presenting at the Startup Studio at Slush 2022, the world’s leading startup event, on November 17, 2022. Fidan will be showcasing more of the platform to business leaders, investors and 4,600 other startup founders.
Kudos Labs has already secured partnerships with high profile organizations within the tech, ecommerce and gaming industries, giving gamers the chance to earn points through shopping from the likes of: HBO Max, Philips, Lenovo, Lacoste, Nike, Wolt, gaming marketplaces Eneba, Samsung and GOG. With over hundreds of brands that users can earn rewards on and over hundreds of rewards to claim, Kudos Labs is a universal gaming rewards platform for everyone in the community.
The platform was founded by tech and gaming industry leaders Fidan Gutaj (Former Head of Sales Video Network at ESL and co-founder of Charge.gg), Wasae Imran (Former Global Head at ESL and co-founder of Five Vectors) and Pedro Oliveira (Creator of the Baron Bot – the biggest League of Legends tool on Discord, and Former Lead Engineer at DojoMadness). They have already been joined by other industry experts from Dreamhack, Green Man Gaming and others on their journey. As well as a wealth of diverse expertise spanning publishers to top-tier esports leagues to Discord, those at the helm of the company also bring a great deal of passion and first-hand experience, having been gamers their entire lives and avid nerds on collecting points from several non-gaming reward programs.
Wasae Imran, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Kudos Labs says: “ We believe that the time, engagement and purchases gamers do should be valued and rewarded accordingly. We have made it our mission to connect the multitude of disparate platforms, technologies, games and in-game currencies with our exclusive reward recipe. That’s our goal; to make gaming an even more exciting and rewarding space, for all stakeholders involved, from users to partners.”
Kudos Labs has raised €4 million from a variety of investors for the platform – including firstminute capital, Icebreaker Ventures, J12 Ventures, with angel investments from Former Ventures Director at Visa Mark Pettit, a senior executive from PayPal Ventures, VP at ESL & 4 Media Network Founder Issam El Ghouzafi and League-M Group.
Sam Endacott, Partner at firstminute capital says: “Kudos is on a mission to create the infrastructure at the intersection of gaming, ecom and fintech, leveraging built-in shopping, gamification and a unique reward store directly integrated into where gamers hangout, such as Discord and Twitch. We believe that now is the right time to create a layer for this ecosystem given the momentum in gaming, and the rise of influencers in the space. We are excited to play a part in their journey to change the gaming world, elevate the community and connect different industries together in a new way.”

Aviamasters™ 2
New Aviamasters™ 2 from BGaming Drives Larger Payouts
Rapidly expanding content provider fuels up for another high-flying hit in this groundbreaking sequel
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is taking to the skies once again for the sequel to its award-winning Aviamasters
casual game, Aviamasters
2.
The organic growth of Aviamasters
, which made it BGaming’s biggest #Casual viral hit, inspired the decision to make the sequel. The game sees Aviamasters
soar to new heights, with improved graphics, exciting new features, and an increased maximum multiplier, which has quadrupled from x250 to x1,000.
Aviamasters
became famous across streaming platforms worldwide, with streamers and players shouting “LAND!” as they watched their planes stack up wins mid-flight. These core landing mechanics remain the same in the sequel. Players watch as their plane flies through the sky, gathering wins and collecting multipliers, all while trying to avoid dangerous obstacles and land safely.
Four booster symbols can be picked up during any flight, while the Buy Bonus mode, known as the Safe Landing feature, can guarantee a landing for x50 the player’s stake. Players should be aware that Safe Landing increases their stake on each spin and can be deactivated at any time.
Aviamasters
found success with the streaming community, and BGaming has tapped into this relationship during the creative process for Aviamasters
2. Selected streamers have provided feedback on the gameplay, ensuring it exceeds the high standards set by the original.
Aviamasters
2 also tweaks the sound and visuals to appeal to a wider audience. These changes make the game more casual-looking, inviting players to enjoy its fast rounds and unpredictable features. Like the original, it will be added to BGaming’s #Casual portfolio.
It is not just players and streamers who will benefit from Aviamasters
2. The game can also be customised to reflect operator branding, providing the title with a wide reach and high marketing potential. The original game delivered viral moments that converted into traffic and big hits for operators, and the sequel promises more of the same.
Vasili Pauliuchenko, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “The first Aviamasters
was a massive hit for us, with players loving its signature “LAND!” mechanics. With Aviamasters
2, we have kept everything that players loved about the original title and improved upon it.
The game is bigger and better than its predecessor, building on its success with greater winning potential and even more gameplay features. We can’t wait to hear even more shouts of “LAND!” coming from players when the sequel hits casino lobbies.”

Motorola Becomes the Official Smartphone Partner of FIFA Heroes Game
Motorola, a Lenovo company, has become the official smartphone partner of the recently announced FIFA Heroes game, published by Solace. FIFA Heroes is an arcade-style, 5-a-side football title that, for the first time, features real players, mascots and fictional IP characters on the same pitch. This partnership brings together Motorola’s cutting-edge mobile technology and the game’s immersive gaming experience, creating a seamless experience for fans to enjoy the world’s most popular sport in a fun and interactive way.
As the official smartphone partner for the FIFA World Cup 2026, Motorola is committed to bringing the excitement of the tournament directly into consumers’ hands. FIFA Heroes delivers on that promise, offering fans innovative, mobile-first experiences that keep them connected to this unique moment in time.
With this partnership, Motorola’s presence will extend across multiple touchpoints. Motorola will appear directly within the FIFA Heroes game, and many upcoming Motorola smartphones will include instant access to the newest FIFA-licensed mobile game. Fans can also download the game from the Google Play Store, making it simple to play from anywhere.
All Motorola users will gain access to exclusive in-game content designed just for them, including power up tokens and gems, game emotes, a retro razr goal celebration, playable characters, and more. This content is part of a broader collaboration that will unfold through a series of global activations, leading up to and throughout the FIFA World Cup 26, giving fans around the globe new ways to connect with the action, on and off the pitch.
Beyond the content itself, the partnership introduces a gaming experience designed specifically for the brand new razr fold, redefining what a foldable form factor can bring to the gaming space. This exclusive experience optimizes the device’s large 8.1″ unfolded display so that players get an expanded view of the pitch that keeps the action fully in focus. Plus, the extra screen space makes it so that controls can sit comfortably below gameplay for an unobstructed display, and also gives players the flexibility to customise their layout for optimal ergonomics.
“This collaboration goes beyond gaming—it’s about delivering an experience that feels faster, smoother, and more connected for every fan. By working closely with Solace and FIFA, we’ve optimized FIFA Heroes for Motorola devices so players get the best possible performance right out of the box. It’s a powerful way to show how our technology enhances the way people play, connect, and experience entertainment, and we’re excited to share even more in the months ahead,” said François LaFlamme, Chief Marketing Officer at Motorola.
