Fleiderman to focus the team on rapid growth, regulated markets, international expansion and the omni-channel opportunity after an intense start-up year with major client deliveries achieved across the EU, African, and North and Latin American regions.

A GAME ABOVE, the leading customer experience campaigns and consulting agency specialising in work for operator and supplier clients across regulated iGaming markets, are proud to announce the appointment of Nicolas Fleiderman as Chief Executive Officer.

Nicolas commences duties as CEO with immediate effect following the recent first anniversary of A GAME ABOVE and the planned departure of interim CEO Steen Madsen.

“Since my first meeting with the A GAME ABOVE team last year I was fascinated by their business model and the team’s confidence in their unique campaigns creating loyal and passionate customers through all stages of the value chain. Working together on a shared client project at that time I saw first-hand how dramatically they can impact the P&L, in some cases within just days of a campaign launch. The more we talked about the future of the industry, given our different perspectives, the more I felt I could add the required leadership and direction that would make for a powerful sum of the parts. I’m extremely happy to join a motivated and passionate team building unique client propositions with so many creative assets that plug, play and perform with to deliver positive ROI across the omni-channel opportunity – something of an open goal right now, for those who can clearly establish a cost-effective conversion benchmark,” said Nicolas Fleiderman, Chief Executive Officer at A GAME ABOVE.

Fleiderman joins the marketing and advisory disruptor at a tipping point for the iGaming industry internationally. The traditional business models look increasingly vulnerable in the face of regulation itself, and its impact upon operator cost per acquisition budgets, as well as investor demands for improved performance across the PLC sector. Cost commitments for operators are rising, everywhere, and the margin left is a stark reminder of the impact of regulation across everything.

“Our performance over 2020 included game-changing campaigns for our clients, featuring highlights such as a more than 200% month-on-month revenue increase, and even greater impact upon GGR, across a casino-only operator in a regulated US State, and a record-breaking sportsbook launch, delivering super-charged sign-ups, activity and maintenance of that audience as they came for more than just a bonus offer and a few bets to play it through. They came for the game above the gambling. Attention across the entire value chain of player lifecycle has to become the standard model for the future simply as the results far exceed any alternatives,” said Chief Operating Officer for A GAME ABOVE, Jakob Famme.

Nicolas joins the team with a distinguished record and reputation across the betting and gaming industry. A summary of his career highlights includes:

Senior teams: C-Level positions with 15 gaming companies, internationally
Value generation: Multi-million dollar M&A and management exits realised for established businesses led by Nicolas
Government and Advisory Board appointments: Positions on large State-owned companies and PLCs
Innovation: Development and engineering across a dozen iGaming platforms, across all key product verticals
Advisory: A consultant of record across dozens of key projects and jurisdictions

“An industry veteran of Nicolas’ calibre is totally the right call for the A GAME ABOVE team at this point in the business mission. The commitment to detail and delivery is obvious across Jakob and Ismail’s experience and day-to-day. As President, I’m looking for the medium to long-term performance and structure that builds reliably to success. Nicolas’ appointment delivers a dealmaker and sole decision-maker with a solid track record that speaks to only one outcome: getting the job done, and done well. I’m very much looking forward to working with him” said Bill Pascrell, III, President of A GAME ABOVE.

N1 SEO Traffic Cup — the first tournament in the N1 Traffic Cups series by N1 Partners — is entering its final stretch, with April 30 being the last day of the promo. Over 250 teams are already actively driving traffic to N1 Partners brands, as anyone can win — no matter when they joined the race.

Winning main rewards is absolutely realistic — final results are based on your team’s efficiency; there’s not a limited number of spots to compete for. All participants who reach one of the four prize tiers get rewarded, so the key focus is scaling your performance metrics.

Learn how to strengthen your current positions within two weeks — or enter the race effectively at the final stage!

Tips to run traffic for N1 SEO Traffic Cup: expert edition

Improving your results is always possible, particularly when you have access to fresh analytics.

The N1 Partners team has made it easier for participants by sharing insights from SEO experts:

- Best approaches for iGaming SEO
  At the moment, classic SEO listings with an offerwall, cross-brand SEO and parasite SEO strategies across several Tier-1 GEOs are performing well.

Top products for SEO traffic in N1 Partners
Among the products showing the best conversion rates and stability are HollyWin, Slot Mafia, Lucky Hunter, RollXO, and Slot Lounge.

Top GEOs for SEO traffic
Markets such as AU, DE, CA, AT, CH, NZ, and NO are delivering strong results and are popular among N1 SEO Traffic Cup participants. These GEOs have a wide solvent audience, allowing both high volumes and strong average checks.

N1 SEO Traffic Cup: FAQ for final-stage entrants

The N1 Partners team understands that joining at a later stage can feel more challenging, so they’ve collected the most common questions from affiliates and shared practical advice.

Where should a newly registered affiliate start to make the most of the first 48 hours?

“If an affiliate joins during the final two weeks, the key to success is to stay focused. I would recommend immediately concentrating on familiar GEOs and brands to get the first FTDs as quickly as possible.

The next step is to evaluate whether you have the resources to work with multiple brands. In the N1 SEO Traffic Cup, the number of brands directly affects the Brand Coefficient and overall results. And of course, it’s important to sync with your affiliate manager from the very beginning to build the shortest path to your first results.

There is no single fixed prize — affiliates can reach any reward level. Even if an affiliate does not reach the Level, generating a minimum of 20 FTD on at least one brand still qualifies them for the prize draw. That means there are no losers, and you can join the game at any time,” says Alexa Bond, Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners.

What mistakes do participants most often make when trying to speed up before the final?

“The most common mistake is trying to scale quickly by testing new GEOs and approaches where the team lacks expertise.

This usually leads to spreading resources unwisely, lower quality, and higher spend. The worst-case scenario involves campaign stoppages. At the final stage, it’s much more important to stay focused on stable sources and further optimise working strategies rather than testing new directions,” says Dmitry Filippov, Affiliate Team Lead (SEO) at N1 Partners.

Join the N1 SEO Traffic Cup — 2 weeks is enough to win!

N1 SEO Traffic Cup: conditions explained

Period: March 1 – April 30, 2026
Results: by May 10
Entry: from 20 FTD per brand

The mechanics are simple: you earn points (N1 Cup Score) based on generated FTDs, then multiply them by the brand coefficient.

The more brands you work with, the higher your multiplier and the faster your results grow:

1 brand — x1
2–3 brands — x2
4+ brands — x5

This means you can not only scale volumes but also accelerate growth by driving traffic to multiple products.

JackpotX

Vegangster Integrates JackpotX Across 5 Brands, Reaches ~25% Player Opt-In.

Vegangster has expanded its partnership with Shared Luck by integrating JackpotX, a player-funded jackpot system now live across five client brands. Early results show an average opt-in rate of around 25%, with players actively choosing to join the jackpot via a simple opt-in toggle.

Across these deployments, JackpotX is configured as a player-funded system, where a portion of player activity contributes to a shared prize pool. This creates a continuously growing jackpot that runs alongside standard gameplay, adding a persistent betting incentive without interrupting the core gaming experience.

Unlike traditional fixed or operator-funded jackpots, this model scales with player activity. As participation increases, the prize pool grows, reinforcing visibility and engagement over time.

For operators, the integration introduces a retention and monetisation layer that is directly tied to player volume. Because the jackpot is funded through gameplay, it reduces reliance on upfront promotional spend while still creating a strong engagement loop.

Michael Oziransky, Chief Product Officer at Vegangster, commented:
“What stands out with JackpotX is flexibility. Operators can run multi-brand jackpots and tailor how they work, with real-time performance visibility. This made it easy for us to use a player-funded approach and boost engagement without additional operator spend.”

The integration requires minimal operational overhead and can be deployed across brands without complex configuration, allowing operators to activate jackpot-driven engagement quickly.

With JackpotX now live and scaling across brands, Vegangster and Shared Luck plan to expand the partnership further, focusing on deeper gamification mechanics and wider rollout across the Vegangster client network.

About SharedLuck

Sharedluck builds engagement infrastructure for online casinos. JackpotX, its flagship product, provides flexible jackpot creation, multi-brand management, real-time analytics, and tools built to increase player retention and overall casino revenue.

About Vegangster

Its turnkey, white-label, and sweepstakes solutions integrate casino and sportsbook content, payments, CRM, compliance, and social features into a single mobile-first system.
