Youth esports platform Vanta has announced their official partnership with Wisdom Gaming as the official coaching partner for the Minnesota Varsity League (MNVL). The partnership will aim to expand coaching and development opportunities available for students participating in MNVL esports programs.

Minnesota’s home for high school esports, MNVL has grown its operations to over 60 high schools with around 1200 students participating in the program state-wide. With the mission to provide students with skills and opportunities to grow both in and outside of the classroom, MNVL’s partnership with Vanta’s kid-safe esports platform allows teams and players to learn from mentors and teachers who will help them continue to gain essential skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.

“We are very excited to have the opportunity to partner with the MNVL, one of the premier scholastic esports organizations in the United States. The group has established a reputation for developing some of the fiercest competitive teams in the scholastic space and we’re looking forward to helping them enhance their league even more through use of our expert coaches,” Zach Fabi, co-founder of Vanta, said.

Vanta’s development program focuses not only on developing in-game skills, but also in helping players grow holistically. In addition to teaching players how to get better at the games they love, each game curriculum includes instruction on self improvement in areas such as social emotional learning, communication, decision-making, teamwork, and critical thinking.

“As we enter our fourth season, it’s important for us to take inventory on how we can further and expand our capabilities to support students excel not only in competition but also with core developmental skills. We’re thrilled to have Vanta as a partner for our Fall 2022 season to offer additional coaching resources for students as they continue to grow as esports competitors and students,” Jake Utities, Director of Minnesota Varsity League, said.

MNVL schools and players will be able to access Vanta’s services starting during the organization’s fall league, which begins with preseason competition on October 3, 2022. Registration for the fall season closes on September 30, 2022.

Media Troopers says it is seeing early signs of increased engagement after the first week of operations in Alberta’s newly regulated online gambling market, which launched on July 13.

The company said it supported marketing campaigns with six partner operators in the first week, and reported a rise in first-time registrations and depositors across its verticals. Media Troopers added that it is rolling out a phased launch strategy and is now onboarding nine additional operators.

“As with every new market, we are implementing in Alberta phased launch that enables us to carefully optimize in real time our advertising channels and marketing campaigns,” said Shmulik Segal, CEO at Media Troopers.

Media Troopers pointed to its established presence in Ontario as a reference point for Alberta’s long-term potential. The company cited iGaming Ontario figures showing total wagers in Ontario peaked at $82.7 billion and total gaming revenue reached $2.9 billion in the 24-25 fiscal year, up 32% and 31% year-over-year, respectively.

“Given the launch corresponded with the final stages of the FIFA World Cup, we are seeing encouraging results so far. However, as with any new market, the real challenge will be sustaining growth after the initial buzz. Still, early signs show promise,” Segal added.

Media Troopers said it is seeing promising early performance after the first week of operations in Alberta’s newly regulated online gambling market, which launched on July 13.

Alberta’s launch makes it Canada’s second competitive regulated market after Ontario, which opened in 2022. Media Troopers said Alberta’s framework creates a new opportunity for operators and suppliers targeting local players through regulated channels.

The company said it supported various marketing campaigns with six partner operators during the market’s first week, reporting increased engagement across verticals, including a rise in first-time registrations and depositors. Media Troopers added that it is taking a gradual approach to launching in the province and is in the process of onboarding nine additional operators.

“As with every new market, we are implementing in Alberta phased launch that enables us to carefully optimize in real time our advertising channels and marketing campaigns,” said Shmulik Segal, CEO at Media Troopers.

Media Troopers pointed to its Ontario experience as a benchmark for Alberta’s potential. According to figures published by iGaming Ontario, total wagers in the province peaked at $82.7 billion while total gaming revenue totaled $2.9 billion for the 24-25 fiscal year, a rise of 32% and 31% year-over-year, respectively. “Given the launch corresponded with the final stages of the FIFA World Cup, we are seeing encouraging results so far.
