Published

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.

The expert jury includes:

  • Maciej Kocemba (Opera GX Product Director)

  • Russell Kay (GameMaker Studio 2 CTO)

  • Yaprak DeCarmine (Game Jolt co-founder and CEO)

  • GameMaker game creators:

    • Johan Vinet (Canari Games – LUNARK),

    • David Galindo (AKA chubigans – Cook, Serve Delicious!)

    • dietzribi (Toodee and Topdee)

 

Artists and game creators can register their interest, receive a free GameMaker Studio 2 licence for the duration of the jam, and read the terms and conditions by visiting this LINK.

“GameMaker Studio 2 is the perfect engine for Game Jams, as it allows anyone to convert creative ideas into playable games quickly. Whether using the intuitive no-code/low-code Drag and Drop system or it’s powerful GameMaker Language (GML), anyone can use GameMaker to take part in the Opera GX Game Jam 2021,” commented Russell Kay, CTO for GameMaker Studio 2. “It’s imagination that counts most, so get involved!”

Enhancement provides sportsbooks with fully proprietary, model‑driven WNBA player prop pricing through the OpticOdds API

OpticOdds, the premier provider of real-time sports betting data feeds and trading solutions, has enhanced its WNBA offering through its ongoing partnership with The Crowd’s Line AI (TCL AI), bringing a real-time AI‑driven player prop pricing solution via the OpticOdds API.

The solution provides WNBA player prop lines built entirely from TCL AI’s in‑house models, with no market averaging or consensus dependency. The independent pricing creates a unique signal that allows sportsbooks to offer differentiated WNBA markets.

Each player prop is delivered with full probability distributions and confidence‑adjusted vig, enabling operators to better manage risk, steer action toward higher‑confidence markets, and price alternate lines with greater precision.

The platform combines TCL AI’s machine‑learning engine with OpticOdds’ API and trading infrastructure. Through the integration, clients can access fair value prices, identify mispriced lines and deploy WNBA player props with minimal operational effort.

The update reflects the continued expansion of the WNBA betting market, as growing fan interest and standout player narratives drive increased demand for deeper, more sophisticated wagering markets ahead of the start of the new season.

The enhanced WNBA pricing model builds on OpticOdds’ existing ecosystem, further strengthening its AI-driven pricing capabilities.

Ryan Weinstock, Vice President at OpticOdds, said: “Working with The Crowd’s Line AI to deliver model‑driven WNBA pricing through our API reinforces OpticOdds’ focus on bringing advanced, market‑grade intelligence to developing sports betting markets.

“This enhancement allows us to scale a truly differentiated offering, using our infrastructure to help sportsbooks deploy high‑quality WNBA player prop markets quickly and efficiently.”

Anthony Lage, CEO at The Crowd’s Line, added: “Our continued collaboration with OpticOdds enables us to deliver differentiated WNBA player prop pricing at scale, empowering sportsbooks to attract new users and improve margins with minimal operational lift.

“OpticOdds makes integration seamless, allowing clients to move quickly and confidently in one of the fastest‑growing sports betting markets.”
