Explore, connect, repeat.

Beyond Games grew from the swell of entertainment strands woven together through technology to create unique and thrilling experiences across platforms. This convergence has grown from games technologies organically becoming the choice underlying technology for numerous other creative productions, from movies and music to comics and beyond. Where previously, an artist performed on a physical stage, technology now offers the capability to explode onto millions of screens worldwide; sequel announcements can boom through gaming landscapes and game technology is rolled out to advance virtual filming sets.

“It’s the chance to celebrate the transformative potential of interactive media and the pioneering work being carried out within the games industry, which is going a long way to helping power the next generation of creators across all industries. We created this event to encourage thought-leaders, strategists and decision-makers across unexplored sectors – from art to music to comics and more – to discover what’s next for interactive technologies and to meet new partners with distinct visions to grow businesses across industry lines.” said Dave Bradley, COO of Steel Media.

Already, the scope of innovation has stretched, with announcements and showcases inside game worlds such as Animal Crossing; a growing number of interactive TV shows, including Black Mirror; the Unreal engine powering virtual sets for TV shows like The Mandalorian; and increased exposure to immersive technology, particularly through social media. The opportunities to create shared experiences in new ways, across industry lines are at their most exciting and Beyond Games will be the first expo to bring together eclectic and rapidly converging industries, introducing them to the potential of gaming.

Already expanding from its original plans due to the swelling audience demand, Beyond Games has over 80 cross-industry expert speakers lined up, featuring the likes of Storm in a Teacup, Epic Games and Graphite Music to name a few. With the opportunity to delve into tracks like Mapping the MetaVerse, Travels in Transmedia and Future Visions, meeting industry disruptors and visionaries, attendees will discover the cutting edge of entertainment. From junior designers seeking further inspiration, to C-level executives digging deep for insight into the future of their business, Beyond Games is the space to break ground on new entertainment formats with the potential to take creative industries to new heights.

2021 is the year of creative convergence and Beyond Games is the transmedia event the technology, creative and gaming industries have been crying out for.

Game-changing platform solutions provider joins forces with a full-cycle verification platform to improve operators’ customer onboarding and fraud prevention measures

Elantil, the pioneering iGaming platform solutions provider on a mission to redefine how operators and suppliers work together, has announced it has expanded the range of services available via its innovative online marketplace by forming a new partnership with Sumsub, a global full-cycle verification platform.

Offering advanced verification and compliance solutions that support the entire customer journey, Sumsub is a revolutionary product in the iGaming industry that’s capable of verifying users, businesses and transactions while helping manage cases and assisting operators with their fraud prevention.

Built to handle every conceivable ID verification from a single, easy-to-use dashboard, Sumsub offers a true turnkey solution that can be used to orchestrate code-free checks at any stage of the customer lifecycle, resulting in the highest-scoring anti-fraud protection and pass rates globally.

Following the addition of Sumsub’s services to Elantil’s Marketplace, operators will now be able to access the company’s powerful data and document verification platform via a simple one-click integration, with Elantil empowering operators to reach out to the supplier directly to form their own agreements.

Not only does this ensure that Elantil never dictates the length or terms of any contracts, but it also means that clients avoid any additional charges by cutting out the middleman, making it a simple and cost-effective solution that puts complete control back into the hands of the operator.

To benefit from Sumsub’s full-cycle verification platform, operators simply need to submit their request to the supplier and once a deal has been signed, Elantil will take care of all the rest by providing the operator a place where they can configure the credentials they need to enjoy an easy plug-in-and-play integration.

John Debono, Chief Technical Officer at Elantil, said: “Rather than being a run-of-the-mill game aggregation service, Elantil’s Marketplace is an open space where operators can connect with best-in-class content suppliers, no matter what it is they’re seeking. By adding Sumsub’s comprehensive solutions to our growing list of services, we can help improve our clients’ customer onboarding and fraud prevention, and all at a more reasonable price point than our competitors.”

Kris Galloway, Head of iGaming Product at Sumsub, added: “At Sumsub, we’ve always believed there’s a smarter way to tackle iGaming’s trickiest challenges, and just like Elantil, we’re not here to follow the rulebook – we’re here to rewrite it. Unlike clunky, monolithic systems, our full-cycle verification platform is built to safeguard the entire player journey, ensuring robust fraud protection and compliance without compromising user experience and pass rates: it is compliance and fraud protection that actually works for the business, not against it. We’re also very excited to connect with Elantil’s clients and help them scale securely, smoothly, and, just like Elantil, with the freedom to focus on growth.”
