Xcademy to make it easier for YouTubers to earn from content generation
– Followers of content creators will be rewarded for increased engagement –
– New ecosystem will empower viewers of content, just as creators are rewarded for producing popular content –
Xcademy, the online platform that provides people with the tools to become successful content creators, is going to make it easier for both content creators and their followers to be rewarded by increasing their engagement on YouTube.
Xcademy is addressing a problem that exists where content creators are not rewarded commensurately according to the time and effort they put into filming and producing content, meanwhile viewers receive nothing at all. By rewarding both content creators and viewers, Xcademy’s solution will enrich online content with better quality and greater engagement.
Currently, YouTube only rewards those influencers with large numbers of followers, but Xcademy’s enhanced platform will reward the followers of YouTubers as well as the content creators themselves. With over 80,000 users Xcademy has built a thriving ecosystem where, via in depth video tutorials, people of all ages can learn valuable life skills, how to create engaging content and run a successful YouTube channel. By rewarding viewers of content as well as the creators, Xcademy will engender more engagement, feedback, collaboration and an even greater sense of community within the platform.
Oliver Bell, CEO and co-founder of Xcademy, said:
“We set up Xcademy with the vision of transforming the way people can learn and create the best and most engaging content for their audiences. But we soon realised that it’s the audiences that are an important part of the jigsaw and so by rewarding them for watching videos, we are able to build a much richer ecosystem that benefits both creators and viewers.”
The platform will be powered by a new token economy that will allow for both content creators and content viewers to be rewarded for their engagement. The more a content creator’s audience grows and milestones are hit, the more tokens they will earn, providing the opportunity to earn more from their content. Meanwhile, content consumers will earn tokens for viewing and engaging with their favourite creators.

Oliver Bell continued:
“We believe it is only fair for the consumers of YouTube content to be rewarded just as those who provide the content. We also want to empower consumers of content to be able to learn via Xcademy’s suite of educational videos and tools and go onto become successful content creators themselves. By building this new token driven content generation and engagement economy, we want to enable further incentivisation and monetisation for creators and viewers alike.”
The platform will be powered by the Zilliqa blockchain, which will enable the tokenisation of the ecosystem.

CasinoCanada launches free social slot tournament
CasinoCanada.com launches a new social tournament system built around free-to-enter slot competitions, combining daily, weekly, and monthly events with leaderboards, bonus prizes, and exclusive merchandise.
The tournaments are powered entirely by BGaming slots, marking the first industry collaboration between an affiliate brand and BGaming focused specifically on social tournament engagement.
Participation in all tournaments is free for registered users of legal gambling age.
Players compete across rotating tournaments featuring a changing lineup of BGaming titles, including hit titles Aztec Magic Bonanza, Bonanza Billion, and Elvis Frog, among others.
Prizes include various bonuses and free spins from CasinoCanada partner casinos.
Selected special tournaments also feature exclusive BGaming merchandise prizes.
Tournament performance is reflected in public leaderboards, adding a competitive and community-driven layer to the CasinoCanada experience.
While social slot tournaments have become increasingly common in iGaming, many existing formats are built around the same providers and similar tournament structures.
CasinoCanada’s approach focuses on free participation, rotating BGaming content, partner casino bonus rewards, merchandise prizes, and recurring competition.
Eugene Ravdin, Head of PR at CasinoCanada, said: “The affiliate industry is moving beyond static review pages and traditional bonus listings. Community features, recurring engagement formats, and social competition are becoming increasingly important for long-term audience retention.
“Our goal is to create something more interactive and community-driven while also giving more visibility to BGaming’s slot portfolio through a format that players can engage with on a daily basis.”
Kate Puteiko, CMO at BGaming, said: “Players and the community have always been the beating heart of everything we do here at BGaming.
Online play no longer has to be a solitary activity, and tournaments like this are an excellent way to connect players and enhance everyone’s experience.
CasinoCanada shares this vision, and this collaboration is a natural extension of that.
We are excited to see our games front and centre of these tournaments and for players to begin creating memorable moments competing with them.”
CasinoCanada plans to introduce additional community features in the future, including gamification systems and forum functionality designed to expand user interaction around the tournament ecosystem.
The tournaments are now live at: https://casinocanada.com/tournaments/

With more than 17 years of experience in branding, media, communications and consumer experience, the executive will now lead the company’s positioning strategies, campaigns and sponsorship initiatives at a time of consolidation and expansion within Brazil’s regulated market.
Andréa will be responsible for the group’s brand-building, media, communications, campaigns and proprietary projects divisions.
Her role also includes the strategic management of the group’s sponsorship portfolio, which includes clubs such as Corinthians, Ceará, Ferroviária and Náutico, as well as major cultural events sponsored by the company.
The appointment reinforces the group’s ongoing institutional and operational strengthening, as it continues to expand investment in technology, user experience and brand development within the gaming and entertainment sector.

Our focus is to develop strategies that expand brand presence, strengthen relationships with audiences and support the company’s growth in a consistent way,” she said.
