The Polish company GAMIVO is constantly improving its platform while coming up with more and more original promotions for its users. This time, gift cards worth 10 euros and additional bonuses in the game World of Warships are waiting for players. The promotion is aimed at novice World of Warship fans because in order to receive the prize, you need to create a new account and win 10 random battles in the game.

GAMIVO has achieved numerous highly successful collaborative promotions with major brands including Coca-Cola, PayPal, Żabka, and the aforementioned Wargaming. The fruitful outcomes from these three partnerships have prompted the companies to prepare for another joint venture, building upon their past triumphs.

The new action organized by GAMIVO and Wargaming launched on July 24 and will run until August 31, 2023. It is aimed at players from across the European Union who have not yet had the opportunity to play World of Warships. The prizes include a €10 gift card for shopping at GAMIVO and additional bonuses in the game itself. To win these, you need to achieve your first 10 victories in random battles, unlocking the “Amateur” achievement.

Last year, GAMIVO, alongside brands such as Hewlett-Packard, Cooler Master, Displate, Windscribe, and Discord Nitro, was a partner in a treasure hunt organized by Wargaming. At the time, the most successful players could also win a gift card for purchases on the GAMIVO platform. The treasure hunt turned out to be very popular with gamers.

The joint promotional activities are very stimulating for the further growth of the GAMIVO platform. The company has already made it possible to buy games with points from the Coca-Cola app (in Croatia and Slovenia) and regularly cooperates with Żabka on a similar basis. The company’s list of partners also includes game developers. In addition to the aforementioned Wargaming, this segment is represented by Plarium, for example.

“Developers of games or gaming hardware are, of course, natural partners for us. They know the market and its needs well, which makes it easier for us to cooperate with them. This is why our collaboration with Wargaming thrives, as we persistently discover innovative methods to provide players with exciting promotions. However, we try to think outside the box and look for partnerships outside the gaming industry, such as Coca-Cola, Żabka, or PayPal”, explains Paweł Zemka, CRO of GAMIVO.

GAMIVO already has 5 million registered users, most of whom are from Europe and North America. Thanks to the high quality of service and continuous development, the number of people using the platform is growing steadily. The company has had a financially excellent, record year and continues to strive for further growth. Revenues totaled more than PLN 44.2 million in 2022, an increase of 11 percent year-on-year. GMV indicator (turnover) also increased, amounting to PLN 232 million, up 15 percent year-on-year. Most notable, however, is the net profit of nearly PLN 7.1 million, up 115 percent year-on-year.

Faker said: “Competition has shaped my life, and I am proud to join the Esports Foundation as Game Ambassador. I want to continue competing for the biggest titles with T1 while representing the players and fans who have helped esports grow worldwide. Through the Esports World Cup, Esports Nations Cup and the Foundation’s wider platforms, I hope to inspire the next generation to pursue excellence, remain resilient and believe in how far competitive gaming can take them. There is still much more to achieve.”

EF highlighted Faker’s competitive record, describing him as a six-time League of Legends World Champion, EWC 2024 winner, two-time MSI champion and ten-time domestic champion with T1. The Foundation also said Faker became the first esports athlete to receive the Blue Dragon Medal in 2026, describing it as the Republic of Korea’s highest sporting honor awarded by President Lee Jae-myung.

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.

The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.

Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:

“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.

“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.

“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”

Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.
