Vigtory Names Steven Astrachan as Vice President of Marketing
Vigtory, an innovative new sportsbook operator, is pleased to announce that Steven Astrachan has joined the Chicago-based team as Vice President of Marketing. Astrachan will focus on building integrated, consumer-driven campaigns that seamlessly connect sports bettors with engaging content and establish Vigtory as a brand sports bettors can rally behind.
“Steven is an incredibly talented marketing executive. In my extensive career in gaming, few individuals have such deep domain expertise in sports betting and iGaming; knowing every metric on every channel and how they correlate to performance focused marketing initiatives,” said Scott Butera, Co-CEO of Vigtory. “He’s joining an already successful, energetic team at the perfect time to spearhead Vigtory’s marketing strategy and operational expansion, and we could not be more excited to have him aboard.”
Astrachan is responsible for leading Vigtory’s brand positioning, customer acquisition and customer retention. Prior to joining Vigtory, he was PointsBet’s first U.S. marketing hire and served as Director of Media & Marketing, where he was instrumental in the development and success of their media department and customer acquisition campaigns that propelled the company to become a top sportsbook in the space.
While at PointsBet, Astrachan focused on digital and social platforms, constructing marketing and media content deals with Bleacher Report, Barstool Sports, The Action Network and VSiN, among other successful affiliate deals. He orchestrated linear distribution strategies on TV and radio and ran the funnel conversion leading to over 50 percent year-over-year increase in overall FTB%.
“Steven understands consumer attention, go-to-market strategy, and customer retention in a way that few executives can hope to, and has a proven track record of maximizing growth potential of digital and social campaigns in the space,” said Sam Rattner, Co-CEO of Vigtory.
Astrachan successfully built, hired out, and facilitated PointsBet’s US marketing strategy from day one. His work earned him a nomination for the 2019 Hashtag Sports Award for Best Integrated Campaign.
“Vigtory is going to come in and disrupt the entire sports gambling landscape,” said Astrachan. “When Sam approached me with the opportunity, I immediately knew it was something I needed to be a part of. Vigtory’s offerings will exceed market expectations. It’s a privilege to be tasked with getting the word out that Vigtory has assembled the most innovative product, competitive price, and superior betting experience in the entire U.S. market.”
Vigtory recently announced a multi-year partnership with The Action Network, one of the most trusted sources for sports betting news and analytics. Through the deal, The Action Network will power an array of sports media content and modernized data & analytics tools for Vigtory.

EveryMatrix has expanded its partnership with tier-1 operator Pinnacle powering its new casino in Ontario, Canada, using CasinoEngine platform technology – the first time its platform solution has gone live in North America.
The latest agreement builds on the two companies’ previous collaboration that saw EveryMatrix’s CasinoEngine productivity platform power the well-known brand’s global casino offering.
The new launch takes the relationship to North America, marking EveryMatrix’s debut CasinoEngine platform integration in that market.
BonusEngine, EveryMatrix’s cross-vertical bonusing tool will be integrated in the second phase of launch. This will equip Pinnacle Ontario with a host of bonus types as well as AI-powered bonus abuse solution Bonus Guardian.
BonusEngine is the first of multiple engagement tools from EveryMatrix’s EngageSuite that Pinnacle plans to integrate.
With this comprehensive toolkit at its disposal, and the opportunity to add even more casino products in the future, Pinnacle Ontario can tailor campaigns, segment audiences, and reward players more effectively, creating a world-class digital entertainment experience for its customers.
EveryMatrix has more than 300 global customers and holds North American licences in Ontario, New Jersey, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
Stian Enger Petersen, CEO, Casino, EveryMatrix, said: “This launch marks a key milestone for EveryMatrix as we bring our market-leading CasinoEngine platform to Canada for the first time.
“We’re delighted to expand our partnership with Pinnacle and support their ambitions in Ontario with a powerful combination of platform, content, and engagement tools that are proven to drive success.”

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.
Let me be perfectly clear
Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.
Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.
We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.
We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.
To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.
Sincerely
Matt Zamroźniak
Chief Executive Officer
Prime Skill Games Inc.
