Miloslav Ivanov has recently joined Atlas-IAC as its new Chief Sales Officer, and with a proven track record in the industry, he is excited to help elevate the Atlas-IAC brand and he shares his motivation for joining the company as well as plans for the future.

EG: Congratulations on your appointment as Chief Sales Officer at Atlas-IAC! Can you talk us through your first month at the company and your exciting plans for Atlas-IAC?

MI: Thank you. I am thrilled to be working with such a fantastic team here. It has been exciting for me to see the passion and productivity of Atlas-IAC’s employees first hand and how everyone is focused in delivering the company’s vision and their dedication to the modern trends within the global sports betting industry.

The vision here is to provide automation and remove the manual labour within data feeds and algorithmic pricing models, which is one of many things that makes Atlas-IAC unique. This has been the driving force behind the very impressive expansion that the company has recently experienced.

We have a unique sportsbook with automation at its core and the risk management capabilities are particularly strong, as we are able to identify potential risks early and it is highly beneficial for us and our partners.

With regards to future plans, we are looking to expand into new regulated markets like Peru, whilst still maintaining a big focus in Europe, Latin America, and Africa where we want to make an impact.

EG: You have some very impressive names on your list of companies, including Delasport, DraftKings and SBTech. What was the driving force behind you choosing Atlas-IAC as your next challenge?

MI: It was the company’s clear vision and commitment to modernising the sports betting industry. This is Atlas-IAC’s mission and I do believe we share the same vision as to what the future of the betting industry looks like.

I believe that automation, which is at the heart of our product, is the future of the betting industry and the cutting-edge technology offering resonated with me. The company also has a forward-thinking team that has created a strong reputation throughout the industry and, with numerous experiences from across the globe, it is clear that we all share the same vision, and this was a key factor in my decision.

EG: Looking to European markets and your Bulgarian heritage, where in Europe do you see as the most exciting growth opportunities?

MI: The Balkans is a key growth market and, with many land-based properties available across the region, people are now shifting from retail to online, and the mindset and culture is changing. People are understanding the ease and convenience that online betting provides and, whether you are at home or out and about with friends, players can have instant access with sports betting platforms and be a part of the betting experience.

A number of countries in the Balkans including Serbia, Romania, Croatia and Bulgaria are creating a lot of buzz with their growth, however, it is important to not lose sight of other countries and keep your finger on the pulse as new opportunities could pop up at any time.

EG: There’s been plenty of talk about how much potential the Balkans has, especially Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria and Croatia, how do you rank these markets in terms of potential?

MI: It is tricky to rank them in order as they all present unique opportunities and different challenges with audiences that have different interests. Romania has shown very significant growth and regulatory stability which has resulted in a very impressive market. Serbia and Bulgaria are growing steadily where we do have an advantage of tapping into customer engagement habits via a variety of gamification tools. Croatia is still very much an evolving market, which presents a lot of opportunities, it’s also the richest of the lot, which presents a wealth of opportunities in itself given higher player spend.

EG: Looking at the Atlas-IAC platform, tell us about your technology – how does it differentiate you from the competition?

MI: The platform’s modern technology is a clear differentiator from our competitors, delivering excellence throughout all processes. Cutting edge trading tools combined with a fantastic team of top experts gives us leading B2B gambling solutions. Our risk management is one of our strengths too, with outstanding capabilities to protect operators and players. Sportsbook that can run automatically with customized limits, margins and delays depending on a type of event or the timeline or both. A fully automated CRM solution allows operators to manage customer marketing and communication activity seamlessly and efficiently.

Our retail system is also impressive, allowing us to manage various properties from one central hub and we want to invest more in the retail side of the business in the coming months and years. Our retail offering has proven to be incredibly popular in Latin America but that certainly doesn’t limit us in other markets around the globe, as we focus on Europe too. As a company, I believe we are optimising the workflow for our employees, and this has resulted in our impressive expansion. I truly believe our overall sportsbook is one of the strongest I have seen in the last five years.

EG: Last but not least, where we can we look forward to seeing Atlas-IAC in terms of industry events and also new market entries?

MI: We always look forward to exhibiting at the top industry events to really showcase our brand and the products we can supply. SBC Barcelona will present a terrific opportunity to connect with industry stakeholders to share our vision for what we believe the future of sports betting will be and expand into new territories, wherever they may be.

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.

SCCG Management and Trivver Partner to Transform Gaming with AI-Powered Interactive Commerce

SCCG Management has entered a strategic partnership with Trivver, Inc., a spatial AI technology company holding more than 165 global patents, to bring measurable AI-powered commerce experiences to gaming operators, casinos, sportsbooks, and entertainment brands.

SCCG Management, an advisory and consultancy firm serving publicly traded and privately held corporations across the global gaming, betting, and prediction markets sectors, today announced a new strategic partnership with Trivver, Inc., a spatial AI technology company based in Hideout, Utah. The partnership brings Trivver’s patented AI-powered Smart Objects into SCCG’s network of gaming operators, platform providers, and sports and entertainment brands.

Trivver holds more than 165 global patents covering spatial AI, immersive environment monetization, and viewability measurement, with technology that deploys across web, mobile, and smart glasses platforms without requiring an app download. Trivver enables gaming operators and brands to transform digital environments into measurable, interactive commerce experiences where every product, sponsorship, or promotion becomes intelligent, personalized, and directly shoppable. The company’s work includes a virtual banking experience built for JPMorgan Chase and, most recently, the June 11, 2026 launch of its PlayCanvas SDK on Google Cloud Marketplace, Trivver’s first commercial deployment of in-game advertising infrastructure, announced with supporting statements from Jack Buser, global director for Games, Strategic Industries at Google Cloud, and Will Eastcott, CEO and co-founder of PlayCanvas. The SDK lets developers building on the PlayCanvas engine deploy interactive in-world brand experiences inside browser-based games, personalized in real time using Google’s Gemini models, with Unreal Engine and Unity support in development. Its platform is designed to turn any product, brand asset, or advertising unit into an interactive 3D object inside an immersive environment, with built-in measurement of viewability and engagement aligned with IAB and MRC ad-measurement standards.

Trivver’s environments can be launched through a URL, QR code, or link, with inventory swapped in seconds without changing the destination address, and each smart object carries its own engagement data on screen coverage and dwell time. That data layer is what SCCG sees as the differentiator for gaming and entertainment use cases: an operator or rights holder can measure exactly how an audience engages with a branded 3D object inside a live casino stream, a fan-engagement environment, or a venue activation, not just whether it was displayed.

Under the partnership, SCCG will provide Trivver with strategic and regulatory advisory across gaming verticals, commercial introductions to operators and platform partners across its network, support for Trivver’s expansion into new international markets, and introductions to potential strategic partners and acquirers. The engagement will prioritize verticals where Trivver’s technology has direct application, including live casino, fan engagement and sports entertainment, music, and automotive. The fit runs in both directions: Trivver’s own positioning for its Enterprise AI Commerce Platform names Gaming, Casinos & Sports Betting as one of ten target verticals the platform serves.

“Trivver is exactly the kind of category-defining technology partner our network looks for. They hold more than 165 global patents, they just launched their PlayCanvas SDK on Google Cloud Marketplace, and their own platform already names gaming, casinos, and sports betting as a core vertical. Live casino, fan engagement, and immersive entertainment all have unused digital real estate, and Trivver’s spatial AI is built to monetize exactly that space, with measurement built to IAB and MRC standards.”

Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO, SCCG Management

SCCG will draw on its established network of more than 100 partners across sportsbook operators, iGaming platforms, content studios, live casino providers, and B2B technology vendors to identify and support introductions for Trivver, alongside representation at major international gaming events including G2E Las Vegas, ICE London, and SBC events.

“Gaming has become one of the world’s largest digital commerce platforms. Together with SCCG we’re giving operators, brands, and entertainment companies a new way to engage audiences through AI-powered experiences that can be measured, personalized, and monetized in real time.”

Joel LaMontagne, Chief Executive Officer, Trivver, Inc.

The partnership adds to SCCG’s growing roster of technology partners bringing new categories of immersive, measurable digital experiences into the gaming and entertainment industry, and reflects the continued convergence of physical and digital engagement across live casino, sports, music, and automotive audiences. SCCG will begin with a market assessment and gaming-vertical analysis of Trivver’s technology, followed by initial introductions to qualified operators and platform providers across its network, with distribution and advisory support continuing throughout the engagement.
