Sports wagering pioneers launch Strive Gaming, the first modern, modular iGaming platform designed specifically for North American operators

Strive Platform Ltd, the first iGaming platform business specifically created to cater to the modern, multi-state requirements of North American operators, has officially launched.

Known as “Strive Gaming” the company will be led by Max Meltzer and Damian Xuereb, both joining from Kambi Group Plc where they were Chief Commercial Officer and Vice President of Sales respectively.

Xuereb assumes the role of President and CCO effective immediately and Meltzer assumes responsibilities of CEO in the next few months.

The duo have been responsible for some of the largest B2B commercial partnerships in the US since PASPA was repealed in 2018. These partnerships have gone on to capture more than 35% of the post PASPA US sports wagering market.

Strive Gaming delivers technical performance at scale. Its modern proprietary player account management technology (PAM), roadmap and development team is focused purely on solving the challenges faced by operators in the North American market. 

Strive Gaming is also bringing innovation to the market through its limitless Strive INFINITY Engine. This is a unique value driver that will change the way operators engage with their customers and build their internal work-flows.

Strive Gaming’s INFINITY engine will drive higher lifetime values by bringing operators closer to their players through operational automation and contextual real-time engagement.

Development teams for the company will be situated in both the US and Europe with customer serving offices in both the US and Canada to provide a premium, 24/7 service clients.

Damian Xuereb, President and CCO of Strive Gaming, said:

“This is a new era of iGaming PAMs in North America. US operators now have more choice and a new partner to consider that knows what they need and want.

“Strive has carefully considered and understood the shape of the US sports and casino market. As a result, it has built a US centric solution that is battle tested and delivers operator performance at scale – solving the many challenges faced by modern day US operators.

“The speed of regulation across multiple deployment topologies and unique US work-flows means that operators need a PAM partner that can deliver speed to market, agility and a future proof solution – and Strive Gaming has been built to do just that.”

Strive Gaming will be announcing its first operator going live in H2 2021 in the coming weeks.

TitanPlay Highlights Responsible Gambling Approach in Platform Design

Published

on

titanplay-highlights-responsible-gambling-approach-in-platform-design

TitanPlay, a regulated iGaming operator in Ontario’s licensed market, announced its commitment to treating responsible gambling not as a compliance checkbox, but as a foundational principle embedded across all aspects of product design, marketing, and operations.

While Ontario’s regulatory framework — established by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and iGaming Ontario (iGO) — sets clear minimum standards for licensed operators, TitanPlay says it views those standards as a starting point for its broader responsible gambling framework.

“For us, responsible gambling is not an afterthought, but the foundation on which TitanPlay is built,” said the Chief Compliance Officer of TitanPlay.

Designing for Player Well-Being from Day One

TitanPlay evaluates every product feature through a player-protection lens at the development stage. The platform offers clear, accessible limit-setting tools for deposits, losses, and time — available at registration and adjustable within prescribed cooling-off periods. Players also benefit from prominent real-time displays of account activity, friction-based interventions such as time reminders and proactive check-ins when play patterns shift, and seamless access to self-exclusion options.

Data-Driven Safeguards

Rather than using behavioral analytics to maximize short-term spending, TitanPlay deploys data to identify potential indicators of risk. When patterns suggest a player may be experiencing harm, trained Responsible Gambling specialists engage proactively in a personalized and supportive way, connecting players with available tools and independent resources such as ConnexOntario. All customer-facing teams undergo ongoing training aligned with AGCO standards.

Marketing with Integrity

TitanPlay applies rigorous internal review processes to all advertising and promotional campaigns, going beyond Ontario’s standards prohibiting targeting of minors, misleading claims, and public advertising of inducements or bonuses. The company prioritizes transparency, age-gating, and responsible messaging to ensure entertainment is never misrepresented as a financial solution.

A Shared Responsibility Across the Organization

Responsible gambling at TitanPlay is owned across product, marketing, compliance, and leadership — influencing roadmap decisions, user interface design, customer communications, and executive strategy.
