Create an offline game for Opera GX to never get bored when your WiFi is out
We all know the horror of bad online connections. Ever lost the game due to lag? Got kicked out from a server when your WiFi went crazy? The Internet is great when it works. But what if it doesn’t?
Opera GX [NASDAQ: OPRA], the world’s first web browser built specifically for gamers, today announced a challenge for the best in-browser offline game: the Opera GX Game Jam 2021.
‘When the internet is out, some browsers get on our nerves with dinosaurs or surfing games which only reminds gamers that without the internet we’re back to the stone age and can’t surf the web. We created the Opera GX Game Jam to call on all artists and creative gamers to make the offline experience fun,’ said Maciej Kocemba, Product Director of Opera GX.
The Opera GX Game Jam competition will give one winner the unique opportunity for their game to be played by millions in the Opera GX offline page. The top three artists will also win cash prizes of $3k, $7k and $10K. The winning game will gain the prestige of becoming the first playable game to ever feature in Opera GX, helping to entertain gamers during those rare offline moments that would otherwise make them cry.
The GX Game Jam is being hosted with GameMaker Studio 2 – the world’s leading 2D game development engine, and in collaboration with Game Jolt, one of the largest communities for games and the people who make and play them.
The best game will receive expert development support from the GameMaker team, before being unleashed within the Opera GX desktop browser. Once completed, it will also be promoted to Opera GX’s millions of users through the browser’s GX Corner and across the social accounts of Opera GX, GameMaker Studio 2 and Game Jolt.
The Opera GX Game Jam will be open for submissions starting on the 29th of July, when the theme for the event will be revealed.

Maciej Kocemba (Opera GX Product Director)
-
Russell Kay (GameMaker Studio 2 CTO)

SCCG Management Announces Strategic Partnership with Playphoria to Advance AR-Powered Prediction Market Experiences Across Live Sports and Gaming
SCCG Management, a leading advisory firm in the global gaming industry, today announced a strategic partnership with PlayphoriaTM, an augmented reality platform transforming live sporting events into real-time prediction market and sports wagering experiences through smart eyewear and connected digital interfaces.
Through this partnership, SCCG will support Playphoria’s business development, strategic go-to-market planning, and global sales distribution efforts across gaming, sports, entertainment, and venue-based ecosystems. Playphoria’s platform is designed to bring real-time predictive market overlays directly into the user’s field of vision, allowing fans to engage with live event forecasting, dynamic odds, and context-triggered market opportunities without shifting attention away from the event itself.
Built as a patent-pending AR interface for real-time prediction markets, PlayphoriaTM combines smart glasses-native design, live event forecasting, instant pricing visualization, and gesture, voice, or companion-device execution. The platform is built to integrate with regulated exchanges, prediction market operators, sportsbooks, stadiums, teams, and smart eyewear ecosystems, creating a new interface layer for live sports engagement.
Playphoria’s technology is centered on winning the in-venue fan experience first, starting with live sports attendees, early smart glasses users, and high-engagement sports bettors. Its phased expansion model includes pilot activations in select stadiums, integrations with prediction market and sportsbook partners, and long-term platform growth through team, league, and smart eyewear distribution channels. The company’s model is designed to monetize through revenue share on wagers, licensing, subscriptions, transaction fees, sponsorships, and AR advertising inventory.
SCCG’s role in the partnership will include strategic introductions, sales support, market positioning, partnership development, and commercialization support across its global network of operators, platforms, sports properties, and technology partners. By aligning PlayphoriaTM with key stakeholders across gaming and sports entertainment, SCCG will help accelerate adoption of an immersive, real-time interface built for the future of in-venue engagement.
“Playphoria represents a compelling step forward in how live sports, prediction markets, and next-generation interfaces can converge into a more immersive user experience,” said Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “As fan engagement continues to evolve beyond the phone, Playphoria is building a category-defining platform at the intersection of smart eyewear, live event forecasting, and real-time market participation. We’re excited to support their growth and introduce this innovation across our global network.”
The partnership reflects a broader shift toward immersive, hands-free engagement models that blend real-time data, live sports, and predictive participation into a seamless venue experience. As prediction markets scale and smart eyewear adoption accelerates, PlayphoriaTM is positioning itself to become a foundational interface for the next generation of sports engagement.

SCCG Management Announces Strategic Partnership with IntualityAI to Advance Predictive Intelligence for Prediction Markets, Sports Betting, and Emerging Gaming Verticals
SCCG Management, a global advisory firm specializing in the gambling and sports entertainment industries, today announced a strategic partnership with IntualityAI to support business development, commercialization, strategic distribution, and market expansion of its real-time prediction technology, with a major focus on prediction markets and sports gaming applications.
The collaboration will focus on introducing IntualityAI’s technology to operators, platforms, strategic partners, and other qualified counterparties across prediction markets, sports betting, fantasy sports, skill-based gaming, and peer-versus-peer gaming.
IntualityAI has developed a real-time prediction system designed to simulate the human prediction and decision-making functions in fast-moving environments. Its technology processes live conditions as they unfold, recognizes meaningful shifts, and generates early alerts for better-timed decisions. Rather than relying mainly on static historical patterns, the system is built to read what is happening now and project what is likely to happen next.
That capability is especially relevant for prediction markets and sports-related forecasting environments, where timing, momentum, pressure, and situational change can quickly alter outcomes. IntualityAI’s technology is designed to see those changes sooner, supporting earlier decisions, stronger forecasting logic, and more actionable intelligence for dynamic event-driven products.
Beyond sports and prediction markets, the company’s system has broader applications across live assessment systems, healthcare alerting, investment management, website behavior forecasting, and remote predictive monitoring. That broader utility reinforces the flexibility of the technology while SCCG’s initial focus remains on sports-related commercialization and prediction-driven gaming opportunities.
Through this partnership, SCCG Management will support IntualityAI in refining its go-to-market strategy and identifying the strongest commercial opportunities for licensing, pilot programs, strategic partnerships, and broader enterprise adoption. Initial efforts will place significant emphasis on prediction markets and adjacent sports-related forecasting products, while also pursuing opportunities across sports betting, fantasy, skill-based gaming, and peer-versus-peer formats.
As part of the agreement, SCCG will lead strategic introductions to operators, distributors, strategic partners, investors, and other counterparties that may create revenue opportunities, partnership structures, capital relationships, or broader strategic value for IntualityAI.
“Prediction markets are becoming an increasingly important part of the broader conversation around sports, forecasting, and interactive gaming, and we believe IntualityAI is well positioned to bring meaningful innovation into that space,” said Stephen A. Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “What makes this company compelling is its ability to simulate the human prediction and decision-making functions in real time. As prediction markets, sports betting, fantasy sports, and skill-based gaming continue to converge, we see growing demand for sharper insight, earlier signals, and more actionable intelligence. Our role is to help IntualityAI bring that capability to market through the right commercial strategy, the right partnerships, and the right introductions.”
“Prediction markets and gaming increasingly reward those who can recognize change sooner and act before the outcome is obvious,” said Grant Renier, Founder and CEO of Intuality Inc. “IntualityAI was built to simulate the human prediction and decision-making functions in real time, and SCCG gives us the market access to apply that capability across prediction markets, sports-related products, and emerging gaming opportunities.”
The partnership reflects SCCG’s continued focus on helping emerging and established technology companies commercialize solutions that address the future of gaming. By connecting new technologies with qualified operators, strategic partners, and enterprise decision-makers, SCCG continues to serve as a bridge between innovation and scalable market adoption.
