ITV invests £2.5 million in live gaming tech startup Live Tech Games
ITV selects pioneering Live Tech Games as part of Studio 55 Ventures.
Live Tech Games announces that ITV has injected a £2.5 million investment into the pioneering tech startup, via the Studio 55 Ventures arm, for a minority stake. The ITV team selected Live Tech Games as part of its wider strategy to enhance ITV’s reach amongst 16-34 year olds.
ITV set up Studio 55 Ventures in 2020 to work with entrepreneurs to build and scale a business within the organisation, taking advantage of ITV’s impressive business experience, backing and support as the businesses take off. With Live Tech Games, ITV has identified a start-up in the burgeoning games sector as a worthwhile investment to complement its wider portfolio of businesses as part of the scheme.
This investment and support in Live Tech Games presents a pivotal opportunity for the company to work with ITV and the UK audience, by leveraging ITV’s globally recognised IP to create new, exciting forms of entertainment direct to consumers’ mobile devices. Earlier this year, Live Tech Games successfully ran a pilot with ITV, working with the This Morning team, to keep viewers connected even after the programme had ended as thousands of players downloaded Roshambo Live, to play the exclusive This Morning game.
‘We are delighted to announce our investment into Live Tech Games this month. Studio 55 Ventures has sought out new business ideas which bring something fresh and unique to the media and entertainment worlds.’ says Rufus Radcliffe, MD ITV On Demand. ‘Samuel and Nathan perfectly encapsulate what we were looking for: innovative, creative and dedicated to their vision. We believe our investment will allow them to flourish and enable Live Tech Games to work alongside ITV in expanding the reach of our internationally recognised programmes and brands.”
The Live Tech Games offering is a unique platform, combining mobile entertainment and live game tournaments, both exclusively in-venue and nationally, bringing people together, regardless of where or who they are. The platform seeks to fill the gap in the mobile gaming market for live, light-hearted yet competitive games, taking familiar, well known games and transforming them into effortless yet rewarding live experiences. Live Tech Games’ first free app, Roshambo Live, has already enthralled UK players with its adrenaline-filled but nostalgic and simple tournament of Rock Paper Scissors, pitting players nationwide head-to-head in live knock-out rounds for the chance to win huge prizes, ranging from cash to the latest tech to unique experiences! In the last 12 months of play, Roshambo Live has given away over £60,000 worth of prizes to winners up and down the country, changing lives all from the comfort of players’ own sofas. Rapidly expanding its team to keep up with public demand, Samuel and Nathan are looking for the best-in-class talent to join the pioneering mobile game studio; including Senior Producer, Lead Artist, Game Designer, Senior Game Developer, Game Developer and QA & Test Lead. Looking for highly motivated and ready to be challenged individuals, the Live Tech Games core team will work together on the next wave of mobile gaming.
‘Following an incredibly successful pilot with ITV at the start of the year, we were delighted at the opportunity to continue working together. The team at ITV are great and we know their support will help us take Live Tech Games to new heights.’ says Samuel Worsley, co-founder of Live Tech Games. ‘We already have huge plans for new games, but we’re keeping them quiet for now – all utilising our unique Live Tech Games platform and live gaming engine that we’ve spent the past 18 months perfecting. Our pledge to our players is as always: super simple, adrenaline-filled tournament games, to win exciting prizes, that everyone can play, and anyone can win!”

Amusnet
Amusnet Gaming Explains the Shift From Account Management to Revenue System Ownership
Amusnet Gaming joined industry leaders, compliance experts, technology professionals, and gaming stakeholders at HIPTHER Baltics & Nordics: Tallinn 2026 for a day of discussions focused on digital governance, startup innovation, and Nordic market expansion. We spoke with Jack Lloyd, Partner Account & Commercial Manager – Operations Lead at Amusnet Gaming, about the evolving role of account management in iGaming – and why the industry is increasingly moving toward full partner revenue lifecycle ownership.
The phrase “revenue system ownership” suggests a much broader responsibility than traditional account management. How do you define this shift inside the modern iGaming ecosystem?
From a game provider perspective, “revenue system ownership” reflects the move away from managing accounts as standalone relationships and toward owning the performance of the content ecosystem inside each operator.
It means taking responsibility not just for delivering games, but for how those games perform once deployed – across lobbies, markets, player segments, and promotional layers. The provider role becomes directly tied to revenue outcomes, where success is measured by engagement, retention, and game-level performance, not just distribution.
How Amusnet applies this philosophy
At Amusnet, this means taking a proactive approach to portfolio management. We work closely with operators to analyse game performance, identify market-specific trends, and optimise content visibility through lobby positioning, promotional activity, and tailored launch strategies
What Amusnet is doing differently
Rather than focusing solely on new integrations, we place significant emphasis on post-launch performance. Once content is live, our teams continuously monitor engagement and revenue trends to identify opportunities for further optimisation and growth.
What tools or capabilities support this
Access to detailed performance data across multiple regulated markets gives us a broader view of player behaviour and portfolio performance, helping us identify opportunities that may not be visible when looking at a single market in isolation.
What are the biggest limitations of the classic account management model in today’s highly competitive and data-driven gaming market?
The traditional model is often too disconnected from product and performance reality. In many cases, account management sits between commercial, product, and operations without true ownership of outcomes.
For game providers, this creates friction between insight and execution. You may see performance trends, but lack the operational leverage to immediately impact game positioning, segmentation strategy, or market-specific optimisation.
In a highly competitive environment, this slows down portfolio growth and limits the ability to fully monetise content across operators.
How has the expectation from operators changed when it comes to account management and commercial partnership support over the past few years?
Operators now expect game providers to behave more like performance partners rather than content vendors.
It’s no longer just about supplying a strong game portfolio – it’s about actively contributing to how that portfolio is monetised inside the operator’s ecosystem. In the current market, a top-tier supplier’s commercial lead needs to understand API optimization, algorithmic recommendations, data segmentation, and local compliance constraints. If an account team cannot translate data insights into actionable revenue opportunities for operators, it risks becoming less relevant in today’s market
In practice, providers are expected to influence revenue outcomes, not just supply tools that generate them.
What are some of the biggest challenges companies face today when managing long-term growth across multiple regulated markets?
For game providers, the biggest challenge is scaling a consistent portfolio strategy across fragmented regulatory environments.
Each market affects how content can be certified, distributed, and positioned, which directly impacts performance. What works in one jurisdiction may not translate into another due to compliance constraints or player behaviour differences.
At the same time, without a consolidated performance view across operators and markets, it becomes difficult to optimise the portfolio holistically and understand true game-level ROI.
What internal skills or mindset changes do companies now look for when building high-performing account management or partnership teams?
The shift is toward hybrid commercial and product-performance thinking.
For game providers, it’s no longer enough to manage relationships – teams need to understand how games perform at a granular level and translate that into actionable portfolio decisions.
This requires strong analytical capability, but also a deep understanding of content strategy, player engagement, and how to influence operator-side execution. The mindset shifts from account servicing to active revenue and portfolio optimization ownership.
Looking ahead, how do you see partnership and revenue management roles evolving within the iGaming industry over the next few years?
Within game providers, these roles are evolving into fully integrated portfolio performance ownership functions.
The separation between account management, product, and commercial strategy will continue to fade. Instead, teams will be structured around full lifecycle responsibility for game performance across operators.
AI and automation will increasingly handle reporting and operational tasks, allowing commercial teams to focus on strategic portfolio decisions, market expansion, and optimisation of content performance at scale.
Ultimately, success will be defined by how effectively game providers can turn content into sustained revenue performance across diverse regulated markets.
The industry has moved beyond simple content distribution. Operators are looking for partners who can help them grow, not just suppliers who provide games. Our focus is on combining strong content with data-driven decision making and local market expertise to create lasting value for our partner.
