February 4, 2026

The N1 Puzzle Promo journey reached its culmination in Barcelona, where N1 Partners hosted a grand final event that became one of the standout events of the iGB Affiliate week. Taking place after the first day of iGB Affiliate in Barcelona, the evening marked the official conclusion of a year-long campaign that ran throughout 2025 and consistently engaged partners across the industry.

Designed as a large-scale finale, the event brought together a carefully selected audience of industry leaders, top-performing affiliates and long-term partners. Interest in the final exceeded expectations well in advance, with more than 2,000 registrations submitted and over 600 guests attending the closed-format celebration. Limited access and a curated guest list helped shape an atmosphere of anticipation and made the night one of the most discussed gatherings of the conference week.

Where the Final Began: First Moments of the Night

From the moment guests arrived, the tone of the evening was clear. Paparazzi-style photographers welcomed attendees at the entrance, capturing arrival moments and setting a cinematic pace for what followed. Inside, flight-attendant-inspired stewards guided guests through the venue.

Multiple zones were designed to balance entertainment and conversation. A signature cocktail bar served drinks created specifically for the night, while a dedicated VIP area offered a comfortable setting for private discussions, networking and informal meetings that continued throughout the evening.

When the Stage Took Over the Night

The stage program played a central role in shaping the atmosphere of the night. Rather than relying on a single format, the evening unfolded through a sequence of performances that kept guests engaged from start to finish. Energetic dance acts set the pace early on, followed by moments of contrast, including classical compositions reimagined in a rock-driven style.

DJ sets carried the momentum between performances, while the appearance of the event’s headline guest became a natural high point of the program. Combined with lighting design and stage production, the performances created an experience that stayed with guests long after the evening came to a close.

As a final personal touch, guests were invited to visit the custom patch bar, where they could take home a souvenir marking their participation in the N1 Puzzle Promo grand final.

Celebrating the Leaders of N1 Puzzle Promo

At the core of the evening stood the award ceremony, recognising the partners who defined N1 Puzzle Promo throughout the year. N1 Partners highlighted those who consistently maintained a strong pace across the campaign and secured top positions on the leaderboard through long-term performance rather than short-term spikes.

As the final results were announced on stage, the emotions in the room spoke for themselves. The winners of N1 Puzzle Promo shared their reactions moments after the ceremony, reflecting on the journey, the competition and what the victory meant for their teams.

1st place – Cash Splash, winner of the main prize: a Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter

The winning team, Cash Splash, shared their impressions after the announcement of the results:

“The emotions are overwhelming, honestly at the highest level. The event itself was impressive, and winning the main prize among such strong peers feels truly incredible. For a long time, we were simply doing our job, and only closer to the end did we realise we could compete for first place and win the helicopter.

What mattered most for us was that this was not just a promo or a prize. Throughout the campaign, it was clear that N1 Partners focus on long-term relationships and transparent partnership. We understood what we were competing for, and that level of clarity was a strong motivation.”

2nd place – Advertise.net, awarded an Aston Martin Aramco AMR24 F1 Simulator

The second-place team, Advertise.net, shared their perspective on the promo and the competition:

“The first emotion was pure excitement. For us, even making it into the top three already felt like a win. We worked on this for a long time, and seeing our company’s name on stage was an incredibly emotional moment.

What mattered most in this promo was transparency and fairness. We could track our results almost in real time and clearly understand how we could influence the outcome. This was not a vote or a matter of luck, it was the result of real work.”

3rd place – Traffic Squad, winner of a Rolex Sky-Dweller watch

4th place – Seven Group
5th place – Alfaleads Network

Each announcement was met with strong engagement from the audience, reinforcing the competitive nature of the promo and the scale of its rewards. The ceremony underscored a key message of the campaign: consistency, strategy and commitment over time were central to success.

The Final Piece of a Year-Long Story

The N1 Puzzle Promo Grand Final was not positioned as a standalone celebration, but as the natural conclusion of a campaign that unfolded throughout the year. By combining immersive production, a strong narrative arc and tangible recognition of partner achievements, N1 Partners delivered a final that felt both earned and relevant to the industry.

Alexa Bond, Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners, shared her thoughts on the campaign finale:

“The N1 Puzzle Promo Grand Final in Barcelona became the culmination of the entire campaign and a reflection of what was achieved over the year. Bringing our partners together to celebrate their results highlighted the commitment, consistency and long-term effort behind this journey.

This finale was our way of showing that we are not just working side by side, but building long-term partnerships based on trust and shared goals. Seeing our partners celebrate their achievements, share emotions and connect with each other confirmed that we created something truly meaningful for the affiliate community.”

The grand final also attracted strong interest from industry media. Representatives of leading iGaming and affiliate outlets attended the event, capturing its atmosphere and engaging with partners throughout the evening. Their presence reinforced the broader industry relevance of the N1 Puzzle Promo finale and extended its visibility beyond the conference floor.

As the evening came to a close, the grand finale reflected what the promo was ultimately about: long-term collaboration and a shared moment of celebration with the iGaming community.

N1 Partners expressed appreciation to all guests who joined the N1 Puzzle Promo grand final party and helped turn the evening into one of the most memorable moments of the conference week.

Be number one with N1 Partners.

Betshield has announced the arrival of Amilton Noble as Advisory Partner.

The executive joins the company’s strategic core at a time of increased operational demands for licensed operators in the Brazilian betting market.

The move comes alongside a significant shift in how the sector is being evaluated.

Beyond regulatory compliance, recent court decisions have begun to consider not only the existence of formal user-protection policies, but also the platforms’ ability to demonstrate continuous monitoring and preventive action in response to risky behavior.

The evolution toward the “Trust & Protection” concept

Recognized for its pioneering role in Responsible Gaming technology, Betshield is following this evolution by expanding its presence within iGaming operations.

The company is structuring its proposition as a permanent layer of operational trust and protection, incorporating:

Risk management
Internal controls
Ability to demonstrate due diligence

Leadership and experience

Amilton Noble has a consolidated career in the gaming, lottery and iGaming industries.

As Advisory Partner, he will contribute to the company’s institutional positioning and to the consolidation of more structured operational practices in the regulated environment.

According to Noble, the sector is entering a new stage of maturity:

“Market maturity depends on the ability to demonstrate diligence. This is no longer just a licensing discussion, but one of operational responsibility.

Operators will need to present evidence of monitoring and preventive action. Technology becomes part of the company’s own protection.”

A new market positioning

Thiago Iusim, founder and CEO of Betshield, states that the moment represents an evolution in positioning:

“Responsible Gaming has always been our starting point. But we quickly realized it was necessary to go beyond isolated functionality.

The market began to require the ability to demonstrate operational diligence. We structured the Trust & Protection concept: a permanent layer between operator, regulator and user.”

Betshield’s technology performs continuous behavioral monitoring, identifies risk patterns, and generates a documented history of preventive actions.

The platform has also incorporated an anti-money laundering (AML) module, expanding the scope of protection.

Recently, Betshield also announced a strategic partnership with CGS Events, placing player protection as a central theme of the 2026 events agenda.

Who is Amilton Noble

With more than 30 years of experience in gaming, betting, and lotteries, Amilton Noble has built a career closely tied to product design, operational models, and distribution strategies within the Brazilian lottery sector.

He began his career at the Brazilian Jockey Club, where he served as National Betting Manager and oversaw pari-mutuel horse-racing wagering operations.

Starting in 2001, at Hebara, he led the commercial area of Raspadinha do Rio and was responsible for developing products that became market benchmarks.

He also works as a strategic consultant for national and international gaming, iGaming, and lottery companies, focusing on regulation, payout structure, and the economic sustainability of operating models.

His work combines practical experience, critical analysis, and direct involvement in the sector’s evolution.

Audio Description

Brøndby IF Launches Permanent Audio Description Service for Fans Inside and Outside the Stadium

Last night’s clash between Brøndby IF and Sønderjyske in the 3F Superliga became the first match delivered through the club’s new permanent audio description service, designed for fans both in the stadium and at home. Developed in close partnership with the Danish Association of the Blind and main partner Betano, the initiative enables supporters with visual impairments to follow matches more fully from the stands or their living rooms.

Brøndby IF is now the first club in Denmark and across the Nordic region to introduce a permanent audio description service for every home fixture. Available via radio.brondby.com, the service provides real-time spoken narration of on-pitch action, player movement, atmosphere, and key visual moments. A specially trained commentator delivers detailed descriptions to help visually impaired fans experience matches more completely.

Thomas Skov, Marketing Director and Head of Fan Experience at Brøndby IF, said:
“Brøndby IF is a unique community that must be accessible to everyone. Therefore, we must open as many doors as possible into that community. With permanent audio description both at the stadium and for those listening from home, we are taking a very concrete step to make the matchday experience at our home games even more inclusive. As a Brøndby IF fan, you should feel welcome and part of the club’s community no matter what. As a club, we have a strong responsibility to remove barriers that may stand in the way.”

Partnerships in Action

To mark the launch, members of the Danish Association of the Blind attended the home fixture against Sønderjyske, with the initiative receiving strong recognition from the organisation.

Diana Stentoft, National Chair of the Danish Association of the Blind, commented:
“Audio description is about equal access to the community, and it means that even more people can experience football – including those who cannot follow the game visually. Audio description makes a significant difference for blind and visually impaired people, as they are no longer dependent on random radio excerpts or constantly asking others what is happening on the pitch. We are therefore pleased that Brøndby IF is offering audio description at its home matches and thereby improving the opportunity for blind and severely visually impaired fans to follow the club’s games.”

Alongside the Danish Association of the Blind, Betano played a central role in supporting and developing the permanent service. The launch represents the first step in a broader ambition shared by Brøndby IF and Betano to reduce accessibility barriers in football.

Kresten Hougaard, Country Manager for Betano in Denmark, said:
“Inclusion is a key priority for Betano, as we strongly believe that everyone should have equal opportunities to enjoy the game. As the main partner of Brøndby IF, it is important for us to turn our commitments into action. We are proud to have participated in the development of a service that gives fans with visual impairments better access to the full football experience.”

Benefiting All Fans — Beyond the Stadium

The solution at Brøndby Stadium is the first permanent system of its kind in the Nordic region and can be accessed from anywhere.

At the stadium, fans can listen live via their smartphones and headphones through radio.brondby.com. At home, the same commentary can be synchronised with live TV broadcasts, allowing supporters to follow the match in real time from anywhere.

Thomas Skov added:
“The reach of Brøndby IF’s new audio description service extends beyond people with visual impairments. Fans who, for various reasons, are unable to attend the stadium can now follow the match on the go or from home and thereby be part of the club’s community.”

The software powering the service is provided by German technology company Mycrocast, which delivers similar solutions to clubs in the Bundesliga and Ajax Amsterdam.

Lead audio description commentator Selver Elezovic will front coverage of Brøndby IF’s matches. He previously provided commentary for Danish fixtures, including at EURO 2024, and will be joined at Brøndby’s home games by former player Joel Kabongo.
