GCT Announces New Strategic Partnership with Context Networks to Deliver Context-Rich Advertising Platform for Casino Operators
Game Changing Technologies, Inc today announced a new strategic partnership with Context Networks, Inc., the world’s first omni-channel marketing system to unify high-contextualized marketing messages across all physical and digital displays helping casinos and lottery operators drive new revenue streams by building more direct and meaningful relationships with their customers.
The Contextual Promotions Media (CPM) Network, a secure private blockchain platform and operator ecosystem, delivers an end-to-end advertising solution for operators enabling them to become digital publishers with no new capital investment. This Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) brings together operators and advertisers in a dedicated, private, permissioned blockchain ecosystem using digital tokens for payments, exchanges, incentives and fees. GCT will make the CMP Network available to its full network of casino operators and tribes.
“Digital advertising has moved well beyond simple TV and radio and is now in almost all aspects of our lives from cabs and buses, mobile devices, online shopping and online entertainment. Artificial intelligence technology and geo-spatial locational services enable targeted one-to-one marketing like never before,” stated Andrew Cardno, GCT’s CEO. “With Google and Facebook being the largest advertising platforms in the world, digital advertising is become more and more common place. It makes sense for casinos to monetize their digital real-estate.”
Casino and lottery publishers can leverage the benefits of rapid payment settlements and transparent advertising-on-demand. Operators, acting as publishers, have immediate, low-cost access to high-quality customers. Advertisers and traditional Demand-Side Platforms (DSPs) deliver creative digital assets efficiently in a low-touch environment integrated with anti-fraud solutions that form a secure information base for advertisers to make weighted decisions on real-time advertising bids. Advertisers and sponsors can perform in-depth audits of their ad spend. In addition, tamper-proof storage of smart contracts and event logs inside the CPM Network private blockchain prevents dishonest participants from using corruption schemes.
“We are proud to partner with GCT to expand our market footprint and showcase our unique product offering to casinos,” stated Matthew Olden, Context Network’s Founder and CEO. “The feedback we have been getting from casino operators has been tremendous as they recognize new revenue streams at virtually no additional cost.”

ICONIC21 launches Football Cup-branded casino games and debut network tournament
ICONIC21 has rolled out three limited-edition Football Cup-branded casino games and launched its first network tournament, ICONIC Showdown Football Cup, running from 9th of July to 19th of July.
The new titles are Football Cup Roulette, Football Cup Blackjack 360, and Football Cup Gravity Blackjack. ICONIC21 said the releases showcase different customisation approaches, including green screen production for the roulette environment and an updated visual rebrand for its RNG blackjack table.
For Football Cup Gravity Blackjack, ICONIC21 said it used its latest LED technology and applied the Gravity Series multiplier mechanic, with a custom felt, a football gate, and bespoke 3D-printed decorations.
Alongside the three new games, ICONIC21 pointed to its previously launched slot Soccer World Championship, plus The Kickoff and Top Card, which it said received football-season branding and UI/UX updates.
The ICONIC Showdown Football Cup tournament covers 11 games in total and is positioned around the quarter finals, semi-finals and final period. ICONIC21 said 1,000 winners will share a €50,000 prize pool, and operators can enroll via their account manager or by contacting the company directly.
Edvardas Sadovskis, Chief Product Officer at ICONIC21, said:
“What I’m most proud of with this project is the turnaround. We built three fully branded, technically distinct games, enhanced existing ones with promotional branding, and launched our first-ever network tournament around them, all timed to coincide with peak player interest and traffic.
That kind of speed doesn’t happen by accident, it reflects how this team works. ICONIC Showdown is a meaningful first step for us as a provider, and launching it during the Football Cup, with this much energy around the game, feels like the right way to do it. We’re genuinely excited to see how the leaderboard shapes up and even more excited for the finals.”
