The free online publication provides an overview of ways in which a company can become more climate-friendly. Alongside practical tips and background information, such as how to calculate and reduce carbon emissions, concrete examples of successful sustainability projects in games companies are presented, including initiatives for reforesting, cleaning up the oceans or communicating knowledge about climate change. In interviews, InnoGames, GameDuell and the Good Evil also explain how environmental and climate protection can be integrated into both the company and also games.
‘Protecting our environment is currently one of the biggest challenges facing our society, and as the games industry, we are naturally playing our part,’ says Felix Falk, Managing Director of game. ‘The aim of our Environmental Guide is to share the experience acquired to date by companies in the games industry and provide ideas for concrete ways to operate and do business even more sustainably. It’s great to see how aware and willing the industry is, with a whole range of measures already in place. We want to support this journey with our guide and other initiatives such as the partnership with the Green Games Summit in the run-up to the UN Climate Change Conference.’
The guide is available free of charge in German at www.game.de/game-umwelt-guide. The English version of the publication can be found here: www.game.de/en/game-environmental-guide.

These include the reduction of energy consumption for power and heating, the use of green electricity and the separation of waste among many further measures, as game reported in June. game itself is already active in the field of environmental and climate protection: for instance, the game association office has been completely climate-neutral since 2021.

Company reveals a substantial rise in player value after casinos add sports betting
DATA.BET, a leading sportsbook solution supplier, reports notable performance improvements among casino operators that introduced sports betting through the company’s plug-and-play integration.
According to internal statistics across multiple clients, adding a betting vertical resulted in players who use both casino and sports betting, generating up to a 4x increase in player lifetime value (LTV) compared to their previous casino-only behavior, while the same betting-active segment delivered an average 12% additional revenue without additional player acquisition. Operators also recorded higher retention and engagement levels, with every second casino player placing at least one sports bet after the sportsbook launch.
The clients have noticed these results after integrating a Single Page Application (iFrame), which takes around one week. While DATA.BET manages all betting-related operations and configurations — both at launch and ongoing — casino operators instantly gain access to a full suite of sports, esports, and virtual sports events, allowing them to focus on marketing and player acquisition. To enhance flexibility and engagement, the iFrame supports full customization: from color themes and layouts to dynamic banners, promo blocks, configurable bonuses, and margin/odds control.
The company designed the SEO-friendly solution to ensure that search engine crawlers can easily read and index the content, thereby improving discoverability, page load times, and the overall quality of metadata, which contributes to higher SEO rankings and better visibility in organic search results.
Yurii Berest, CEO of DATA.BET, commented: “For many casinos, betting is more than diversification – it helps operators to maximize the potential of their existing audience and improve the efficiency of traffic monetization. As the average stake in sports is traditionally higher than in slots, operators experience instant revenue growth while retaining and extending player lifetime value. It is a powerful model of sustainable growth that helps to boost not only the current player base but also attract new audience”.
As the market continues shifting toward universal gambling ecosystems, DATA.BET’s solution demonstrates that sports betting drives measurable financial impact for casino operators, turning existing audiences into long-term revenue drivers.

Boomerang Partners and AC Milan to launch ‘Time to Win’, a new Rossoneri hub
The strategic partnership between Boomerang Partners and AC Milan serves as a good example of effective collaboration between a rapidly growing iGaming brand and one of the world’s most famous football clubs. This partnership will continue within the framework of a new concept, ‘Time to Win’.
What is the ‘Time to Win’ concept
The “Time to Win” concept reflects the essence of both parties. The iGaming industry is characterized by high competition, just like top-level football. AC Milan is the most successful Italian Club at an international level. Boomerang Partners, in turn, aims to become the world’s best sports-focused affiliate program. The company fights for the best product, the best conditions for clients and partners.
Boomerang Partners x AC Milan Hub
At the beginning of 2026, within the ‘Time to Win’ concept, Boomerang Partners will launch the AC Milan hub, a unique web platform aimed at the company’s affiliate partners and users of products from its client portfolio. It will become a must-visit website for many reasons. The site will feature information about:
- Joint projects and collaborations between the parties;
- ‘Money-can’t-buy-experiences’ involving visits to AC Milan-related facilities (such as the iconic San Siro Stadium and Mondo Milan Museum);
- Opportunities to get tickets to AC Milan home matches;
- Promotions tied to the Club’s top matches
- Opportunities to meet AC Milan Legends at various events;
- Special gifts from the Club, including jerseys with autographs
And if a site visitor is a player, they can follow a direct link to the Boomerang-bet website (the flagship project from Boomerang Partners’ client portfolio) and register.
David Monk, Director of Partnerships at AC Milan, commented: “We are delighted to join forces with Boomerang for the launch of Time to Win, an opportunity to bring the AC Milan experience even closer to fans who embody our Rossoneri passion.”
Anton Eshtokin, Chief Marketing Officer at Boomerang Partners, added: “The Time to Win concept reflects the confidence and ambition both sides bring to this partnership.
This season, we’re not just focused on achieving great results in our own fields.
We’re also fully committed to supporting each other every step of the way.”
The first year of partnership
In their first year together, Boomerang Partners and AC Milan created many key moments. Boomerang launched over five co-branded campaigns and produced more than 200 AC Milan-branded creatives. The company’s inaugural affiliate traffic tournament, the Golden Boomerang Awards 2025 ceremony, took place at San Siro Stadium and became the top-performing activation, with 80+ million impressions from co-branded content.
Fan engagement was also high – 500+ participants joined contests, and the overall reach exceeded 40 million. Boomerang Partners organized three branded merchandise giveaways, received 300+ media mentions, and recorded a 15%+ growth in organic branded search. There were 7+ PR and influencer collaborations and around 15 joint events during the year.
Importantly, 80% of participants in Boomerang’s sports initiatives said that VIP experiences – including fully sponsored trips, accommodation, and visits to AC Milan’s home matches – increased their trust in the brand and sense of engagement.
Sports traffic across Boomerang Partners’ affiliate network grew by 194%, interest in sports topics by 81%, and brand loyalty by 23%. Sportsbook GGR rose 62.87% YoY, and affiliate sign-ups increased by 58% YoY.
The media effect was also notable: 30+ exclusive campaigns, 1,000+ media mentions with a reach of 320+ million, and 1+ million views of AC Milan-related content on Boomerang’s platforms.
The partnership brought strong visibility. The Golden Boomerang Awards 2025 ceremony featured AC Milan Legend Andrea Pirlo. Over 200 affiliate partners attended AC Milan matches, including the derby with FC Internazionale, and 500+ merchandise items were given away.
Boomerang Partners received three major awards during the first year:
- ‘Rising Star in Sports Betting’ (Operator) – SBC Awards 2024
- ‘Best Player Engagement’ – SiGMA Europe Awards 2024
- ‘Unique Gaming Company of the Year’ – International Gaming Awards 2025
A few months into the second year, Boomerang added two more awards:
- ‘Social Media Campaign of the Year’ – SBC Awards 2025
- ‘Rising Star in Sports Betting’ (Operator) – SBC Awards 2025
What’s next
Boomerang Partners and AC Milan have big plans for the future. The partners set the highest goals for themselves and are ready to help each other achieve them.
