Sportradar launched a fast, flexible and secure solution to support the clean sport movement. Their new Remote Testing System will enable anti-doping organizations to collect doping control samples remotely – benefitting both athletes and sporting bodies as they navigate logistical issues with executing an Olympics during a pandemic.

A few key points to note:

The Remote Testing System is designed to complement physical testing, while being less invasive than traditional urine testing for athletes.
The system is built upon blockchain technology, multi-factor authentication and a server cluster to store data securely.
The process includes an app-facilitated video recording of athletes conducting each of the tests and securing the samples to be submitted for analysis.
Innovative aspects such as a Dried Blood Spot and Exhaled Breath analysis will extend the range of testing.
Significant cost savings from handling testing remotely will provide a much-needed option for the traditionally under-funded anti-doping industry.

A video explaining the system can be found here.

Sportradar is also hosting a “Digitalization and Data in Anti-Doping” webinar event tomorrow, and you are welcome to attend by registering here.

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has released Adrenaline Rush: Scratch, a racing-themed instant game designed for quick results and strong player appeal.

Joining the already popular Adrenaline Rush series, Scratch immerses players in a modern garage environment where they can scratch panels to uncover matching symbols. Three or more identical icons result in a win, with higher-value car symbols offering bigger rewards.

The game’s standout mechanic, the Car Collection feature, rewards players with an additional 5x the bet if all four car types appear in the same round. Matching symbols above the game zone are highlighted when corresponding symbols land below, building anticipation throughout the session.

Each round also includes a Mystery Card, which, when scratched, reveals an extra prize to further boost win potential.

With its 96.06% RTP, sleek visuals, and dynamic gameplay, the new addition delivers variety to the existing Adrenaline Rush lineup and strengthens Evoplay’s growing instant game portfolio.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “The Adrenaline Rush series continues to be a standout performer in our portfolio, and with Scratch, we’ve introduced a fresh format built for instant play.

“Its accessible mechanics, mobile-first design and unique features like the Car Collection offer something new for both players and operators. We’re proud to extend this series with another engaging release.”
