Over 100 ideas generated in just 48 hours

Between 7th-9th of August Parimatch Tech hosted a two-day online Universal Sports & Games Hackathon at its state-of-the-art “PMHUB” event space. The hackathon, organized by Parimatch Tech together with JKR in partnership with Amazon and SectorX, bought together over 400 developers, marketers and designers to come up with innovative solutions in the gaming and gaming services industry.

Participants came from nine countries including Ukraine, Germany, Spain, Belarus and Poland, generating 111 ideas over 48 hours, including games, streaming tools, analytics services and various applications. 37 teams made it to the final, but only one could be crowned winner.

The Hackathon was won by “The Dragon’s team”, made up of developers Nikolay Ursatiy and Sergey Poverennov. The duo created “RunOut”, a runner platform game. They took home the first place prize of $1500.

“It is great to see people keep generating ideas, even though they can’t get together in the same room as normal. An online hackathon is a new format for us and we are pleased with the result: organizers, judges, and mentors saw many different high concept ideas being generated.” — noted Stepan Shulga, head of Esports at Parimatch.

“We are delighted with our victory. The hackathon was a great experience for us. Many teams came up with some really interesting and exciting ideas. This event gave us a chance to test our capabilities and get feedback from mentors and judges. We’re going to continue working on the game, and shortly, we will move on to negotiations with publishers.” — comments Nikolay Ursatiy, team leader of the  Dragon’s Team.

Second and third places were taken by teams “Narwhal” who came up with a service for the multification of sporting events, and “PixelGaming”, whose idea was a mobile game in the MOBA clicker genre. They received $1000 and $500 respectively.

As part of the hackathon, select teams carried out particular challenges set by the judges. The teams “Team B” and “Kodoklyaksa” were each awarded $500 for their innovative ideas. The JKR Foundation also invited team “PolyRef” to further develop their idea of a service for collecting sports statistics.

As well as the prize money, the winner and two runners-up get exclusive access to the Parimatch Tech team and its facilities. Here, together with Parimatch’s tech specialists, the participants will have the opportunity to test their ideas on an audience of thousands of people.

But the hackathon doesn’t end there. The judges took an extra week to look through all the applications one more time to advance some additional ideas. The results of this will be announced on 19th August 2020.

GR8 Tech CSO Participates in Discussion on Conversion Rates in South Africa

Player acquisition in South Africa is advancing rapidly, making it increasingly difficult to manage CAC effectively. This is the reason Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech, will participate in the essential panel “Player Acquisition in South Africa: What Converts and What Doesn’t” on Thursday, March 5 (14:25–14:50). Marketing executives will analyze what is effective (and what isn’t) in paid media, influencers, retail interactions, and community-driven growth, emphasizing CAC discipline, channel exhaustion, and sustainable conversion tactics in a rapidly mobile environment.

Creating iGaming Leaders in Africa

GR8 Tech will be present at the event to engage with industry leaders, share actionable growth tactics, and showcase how Platform for Champions facilitates intelligent acquisition, enhanced engagement, and scalable operations in competitive settings.

“Across Africa, we’ve already helped operators like Mojabet and BongoBongo accelerate their business: moving faster in-market, sharpening performance, and achieving significant revenue growth,” said Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech. “Now, we’re only pushing harder in the region. So if you’re an operator who wants to perform like a champion, with a platform built for speed, control, and scale, let’s sit down at SiGMA Africa and talk about what winning looks like in your market.”

Meet GR8 Tech at SiGMA Africa 2026 in Cape Town, South Africa (March 3–5), at The Grand Arena at GrandWest Casino and Entertainment World. Book a meeting in advance, see the platform in action, and explore what it takes to scale like a champion in one of Africa’s most exciting iGaming hubs.

Amilton Noble é anunciado como Advisory Partner da Betshield

A Betshield anunciou a chegada de Amilton Noble como Advisory Partner. O executivo passa a integrar o núcleo estratégico da companhia em um momento de maior exigência operacional para operadores licenciados no mercado brasileiro de apostas.

A movimentação ocorre em paralelo a uma mudança relevante na forma como o setor vem sendo avaliado. Além do acompanhamento regulatório, decisões judiciais recentes passaram a considerar não apenas a existência de políticas formais de proteção ao usuário, mas a capacidade das plataformas de demonstrar monitoramento contínuo e atuação preventiva diante de comportamentos de risco.

A Evolução para o Conceito de “Trust & Protection”

Reconhecida por sua atuação pioneira em tecnologia de Jogo Responsável, a Betshield acompanha essa evolução ampliando sua presença dentro das operações de iGaming. A empresa passa a estruturar sua proposta como uma camada permanente de confiança e proteção operacional, incorporando:

  • Gestão de risco.

  • Controles internos.

  • Capacidade de comprovação de diligência.

Liderança e Experiência

Amilton Noble possui trajetória consolidada na indústria de jogos, loterias e iGaming. Como Advisory Partner, contribuirá para o posicionamento institucional da empresa e para a consolidação de práticas operacionais mais estruturadas no ambiente regulado. Para Noble, o setor entra em uma nova etapa de maturidade:

“A maturidade do mercado passa pela capacidade de demonstrar diligência. Não é apenas uma discussão sobre licença, mas sobre responsabilidade operacional. O operador precisará apresentar evidências de acompanhamento e atuação preventiva. A tecnologia passa a ser parte da proteção da própria empresa.”

Um Novo Posicionamento de Mercado

Thiago Iusim, fundador e CEO da Betshield, afirma que o momento representa uma evolução de posicionamento:

“O Jogo Responsável sempre foi o nosso ponto de partida. Mas percebemos cedo que era necessário ir além da funcionalidade isolada. O mercado passou a exigir capacidade de demonstrar diligência operacional. Estruturamos o conceito de Trust & Protection: uma camada permanente entre operador, regulador e usuário.”

A tecnologia da Betshield realiza monitoramento contínuo de comportamento, identifica padrões de risco e gera histórico documentado de atuação preventiva. A plataforma também incorporou um módulo de prevenção à lavagem de dinheiro (PLD), ampliando o escopo de proteção.

Recentemente, a Betshield também anunciou uma parceria estratégica com a CGS Events, colocando a proteção do jogador como tema central da agenda de eventos em 2026.
