Anzu Appoints Former Activision Blizzard Executive Ruben Dehouck as a New Strategic Advisor
The world’s leading in-game advertising platform Anzu.io today announced the appointment of Ruben Dehouck as a Strategic Advisor. Ruben has a long and successful track record in the video game industry, having spent more than ten years at Activision Blizzard in various globally operating roles. During his tenure there, Ruben led marketing operations for the industry-leading Call of Duty franchise, was in charge of commercial operations for the breakthrough kids video game franchise Skylanders, and owned strategic partnerships with key industry partners, including PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo.
Dehouck joins an impressive group of strategic advisors for Anzu, including David Sable, Takuya Banno, and Jamie Gutfreund. The vast experience that Dehouck brings will contribute to Anzu’s overall gaming strategy and strengthen the company’s position specifically within the AAA gaming segment. Asked about his perspective on the exciting future Anzu is creating, Dehouck said, “In-game advertising offers developers and publishers a compelling new revenue stream, but only if it’s done right. Anzu’s cutting-edge tech solution ensures non-intrusive, blended real-world advertising in video game ecosystems. It’s a solution that understands and respects gamers’ expectations. I’m excited to help drive in-game advertising to new heights and leverage the enormous appetite of leading global advertisers to build meaningful relationships with the ever-growing, 3 billion plus global video game audience.”
Anzu has already launched campaigns with global brands, including Vodafone and Samsung and game companies such as Ubisoft. And the in-game advertising company continues to focus on its commitment to bringing innovative changes to the ecosystem. Its partnership with CHEQ provides the first-ever ad verification solution for console gaming, while its partnership with Kantar’s project Moonshot enables brands to measure advertising campaign effectiveness accurately. Additionally, advertisers and game developers can feel confident when working with Anzu as it is the first company of its kind to earn an ISO 27001 Certification.
Anzu, the winner of this year’s ESI Clutch Digital competition, has also attracted the attention of those in the esports arena. A few months ago, Anzu signed a partnership deal with Berlin-based esports venue developer VERITAS. More recently, the company expanded its exclusive partnership with Axis Games to bring the first-ever programmatic in-game ads to a live esports tournament.
As the company continues to carve out its path, Dehouck will be a key advisor. Anzu Co-founder and CEO Itamar Benedy said, “We are thrilled to have Ruben on board. He brings a wealth of experience, and his knowledge, which sits at the intersection of gaming, advertising, and strategic partnership development, will be invaluable to us as we move forward.”

ThrillTech-powered jackpot produces first millionaire as Scottish BetVictor player wins £1.7m
A BetVictor player from Scotland has turned a small 10p jackpot side bet into an incredible £1,744,000 payout.
The lucky customer hit the top-tier Epic jackpot while playing the slot Magnificent Power Spartan, transforming a minimal wager into a life-changing prize.
The win was made possible through The Jackpots, an exclusive in-house jackpot product powered by ThrillTech, a global provider of side-bet jackpot technology for iGaming operators.
ThrillTech’s ThrillPots system was rolled out across the portfolio of gaming brands operated by BVGroup in December last year. The feature allows any qualifying spin to randomly trigger one of four progressive jackpots. In this case, a simple 10p side bet was enough to unlock the seven-figure Epic jackpot.
The Scottish BetVictor customer, who has chosen to remain anonymous, triggered the highest prize tier available—demonstrating that every spin carries the potential for a massive reward. The win has since been fully verified, and the payout is being processed in line with the operator’s standard verification and payment procedures.
Eoin Ryan, Director of Sportsbook & eGaming at BVGroup, said:
“We’re absolutely delighted to congratulate our first newly created millionaire.
This life-changing win perfectly showcases how The Jackpots system works, where any qualifying spin can trigger any of the available jackpots, including the Epic pot. We’re excited to deliver many more unforgettable moments for our customers throughout the year.”
Ben Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, added:
“Seeing a 10p side bet turn into a £1.7 million win is exactly the kind of moment we designed ThrillPots to create. From the very beginning, our vision was to provide operators with a jackpot solution that genuinely excites players, where every qualifying spin carries real potential regardless of stake size. This win is a powerful example of that principle in action.
Working with BVGroup to launch The Jackpots across the BetVictor portfolio has been a fantastic collaboration. Their team understands how to integrate jackpot mechanics in a way that enhances the overall player experience while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and player protection.
We’re incredibly proud to see our technology deliver such a life-changing outcome and look forward to powering many more memorable jackpot moments for operators and players worldwide.”
