ComeOn Group announces their shift to a global Hybrid Office work model as their post Covid People Strategy
Gaming operator ComeOn Group announces the launch of their new Global Hybrid Office work model as a part of their evolving company culture. A decision based on interviews with employees and the needs of the business, as well as a vision to create a modern and dynamic working environment keeping in line with new emerging trends as a response to the global pandemic.
There is a great journey behind ComeOn Group and after 12 years of operations, ComeOn has grown to over 500 employees with offices in 7 locations. Now, ComeOn Group is entering another exciting period of time where the company is offering their employees not only top-of-the-line and modern Hybrid Office spaces for better collaboration, but also more flexibility as a way to promote better work-life balance.
For the past two years, ComeOn has shown great endurance to the challenges brought on by the pandemic and managed to transition to working remotely, as well as quickly develop new tools to maintain the operations coupled with, developing and maturing the great company culture ComeOn is known for in the industry. To maintain the same level of communication, ComeOn launched Slack for better collaboration across all locations and introduced meeting-free Wednesday mornings, to boost productivity and give employees the thinking time they need. It is during this time that the Hybrid Office model came to be developed by a team of dedicated project managers and HR strategists that has carried out a 360 research to deliver the best possible experience to the whole organisation.
ComeOn’s definition of a Hybrid Work means that employees can decide and be flexible around where their work station should be for the day. The decision to move to a Hybrid set-up was based on in-depth trending office research and employee surveys, which made it clear the need for a new work set-up moving forward.
Juergen Reutter, Chief Executive Officer at ComeOn Group, said ”In the beginning of the year we polled our people on how they prefer to work post pandemic. 91% answered to keep it flexible. So with these figures in hand we are investing in a true, top-notch quality hybrid office setup for our employees to participate in face-to-face collaborative working experiences when they are in our locations.”
ComeOn has their Headquarters in the modern premises of Spinola Park that is located in the heart of St Julians. The office that originally already had a great interior, underwent further refurbishment with a specific Hybrid Office design and interior development to inspire and encourage collaborative work, also adding a whole new social space for employees to meet up, work, or relax. ComeOn have approached a similar strategy globally, specifically in London and Stockholm, where a move to new office spaces have been initiated. In addition to this, ComeOn also launched an global online desk booking system with a handy app for employees to plan their visits seamlessly leading to the best in office experience possible.
Daniela Vella, Chief Operating Officer at ComeOn Group, said Employees are at the center of this decision – During the past 24 months, all of the teams rallied together and made working from home a success. However, one of the common threads was that the offices were an incubator for ideas, brainstorming and generally, just meeting with our awesome colleagues – so this decision was a no-brainer for us!’’
ComeOn offers great benefits globally that include relocation packages, wellness allowance, health insurance, parental leave – to mention a few out of many. The company also put together a more extensive mental health support system to help employees when needed both during the pandemic and as a continuous effort to offer the best support system for the employees. To meet the expectations of the new way of working, ComeOn also rolled out a new Hybrid Office allowance to help kick-start employees who would like to set up a home office, which is thought to help with the overall wellbeing. As a response to slightly more complicated travel conditions coupled with the fact that ComeOn Group employees are from over 50 nationalities, the Group is also offering their employees 8 weeks working from another location that can be combined with annual leave so a healthier work environment can be fostered.
The roll out of Hybrid Office has been a great success and the company reports that the number of employees deciding to work from the office has reached an all time high post pandemic. ComeOn always has people at the heart of their business and will continue to work on new and exciting people strategies to retain the great talent they have and also attract new prospects. As published a few weeks back, ComeOn has recently been awarded the title “Great Place to Work” by International Gaming Awards 2021 – which is a great recognition for all the hard work that has been put in by all employees across all locations.

The deal was unveiled at SiGMA South America in Brazil, ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
BGaming has partnered with former Brazil national team goalkeeper Júlio César and will release a new game, Penalty Duel with Júlio César, in June. The company said the collaboration is timed ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The partnership was unveiled at SiGMA South America in Brazil in April, with a contract signing at BGaming’s booth. BGaming said the activation also included an autograph and photo session that drew more than 200 visitors.
BGaming said Penalty Duel with Júlio César is an exclusive “#Casual” title inspired by the goalkeeper. Players take the role of the kicker and aim to land multipliers by scoring goals, with gameplay focused on timing and precision.
The game includes two features the company highlighted: “Chance,” which it said increases the likelihood of triggering the Golden Ball, and a “Buy Bonus” option that unlocks a special round featuring a series of penalty kicks alongside Júlio César in a Rio beach setting.
Kate Pateiko, CMO at BGaming, said, “Júlio César is a true legend of Brazilian football, and we are proud to welcome him as a partner. This collaboration goes far beyond a traditional endorsement, it’s about integrating his legacy directly into the product experience.
With Penalty Duel featuring Júlio César, we are creating a game that feels authentic, culturally relevant, and deeply connected to football passion, especially in Brazil. As we continue to strengthen our presence in LATAM, partnerships like this help us engage new audiences and deliver experiences that truly resonate.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon, the timing makes this launch even more exciting.”

Evento en el Parque da Cidade contó con la presencia de autoridades, deporte y arte, con obras de Mão y Toys; la acción forma parte de la iniciativa Betano en Movimiento
Con motivo de su 66.º aniversario, Brasilia recibió un regalo especial de Betano: dos canchas revitalizadas en el Parque da Cidade Sarah Kubitschek, en el corazón de la capital federal.
El nuevo espacio, que cuenta con obras de los artistas locales Toys (@toys) y Mão (@mao.arte), fue inaugurado en un evento este sábado (11) y contó con un circuito de básquet 3×3 organizado por CUFA-DF y presentaciones culturales.
El evento marcó un nuevo capítulo en la historia del parque, reconocido como el mayor parque urbano de América del Sur y uno de los más grandes del mundo.
La revitalización de las canchas forma parte de la iniciativa Betano en Movimiento, que busca ampliar el acceso al deporte y a la actividad física mediante la recuperación de espacios públicos y la promoción de actividades deportivas comunitarias.
“Es una alegría estar en un momento tan simbólico, entregando un regalo que será un legado para la ciudad. Para las obras de las canchas, buscamos valorar artistas locales que aportaran la identidad de Brasilia al espacio, conectando arte y deporte”, afirmó Guilherme Figueiredo, Director de Relaciones Institucionales de Betano.
Inauguración con canasta y corte de cinta
La inauguración comenzó con una primera canasta anotada por Renato Junqueira, Secretario de Deporte y Ocio del Distrito Federal.
Tras recibir una asistencia de los artistas Mão y Toys, el secretario encestó en ambas canchas.
“Nos sentimos muy honrados de recibir este regalo de Betano para nuestra ciudad.
Este parque es icónico, democrático y accesible, y esta alianza es fundamental. Estoy seguro de que todos los que vengan a jugar aquí luego comentarán lo bonito y colorido que es el espacio.
Se convertirá en una referencia dentro del parque”, declaró durante la ceremonia.
También presente en el evento, la gobernadora del Distrito Federal, Celina Leão, destacó la importancia de la revitalización.
“Queremos sumar aliados que aporten valor. Hoy aquí se puede ver movimiento, arte y deporte ocurriendo al mismo tiempo. Estoy muy feliz de participar. Soy atleta, me gusta el deporte y lo practico todos los días.
Estoy segura de que abre puertas y cambia la mentalidad de las personas. Agradezco a los socios que hicieron posible este momento.
Las canchas están tan bonitas que dan ganas de quedarse”, comentó, tras también encestar en las canchas.
Obras inspiradas en Brasilia
Con colores vivos en tonos de azul, naranja y amarillo, las intervenciones artísticas rinden homenaje a los íconos, la arquitectura y el paisaje de Brasilia.
La ejecución técnica estuvo a cargo de Hoopers, dando continuidad a un proyecto iniciado en Río de Janeiro, con una cancha inaugurada por el jugador de baloncesto Giannis Antetokounmpo, estrella de los Milwaukee Bucks en la NBA.
El artista Daniel Morais, conocido como Toys, explicó que buscó trasladar al espacio las líneas rectas y angulares típicas de los edificios de la ciudad, además de rendir homenaje a su fundador.
“La historia de Brasilia y de sus pioneros es increíble. Juscelino Kubitschek fue el primer soñador: creyó en una idea y la hizo realidad al construir la capital. Es muy especial ver mi arte formando parte de la vida de las personas, como si ellas también participaran en la obra”, afirmó.
Por su parte, Luis Fernando Santos, conocido como Mão, incorporó elementos icónicos y de la fauna local, destacando el lobo-guará, el caracará y la Plaza de los Cristales.
“Fue una experiencia muy especial poder hacer un trabajo para Brasilia, aún más en el Parque da Cidade. Intenté representar los colores del lugar, la fauna, la flora y también sus monumentos. Es muy gratificante ver a la gente usando la cancha que pinté.
Espero que sigan aprovechando este espacio y que los inspire a conectarse cada vez más”, señaló.
Impulso al deporte y la cultura
El evento también incluyó un circuito de básquet 3×3 en colaboración con la Central Única de las Favelas (CUFA-DF). En esta modalidad, equipos de tres jugadores compiten en partidos rápidos en media cancha.
Gana el equipo que alcanza primero los 21 puntos o, si se cumple el límite de 10 minutos, el que haya anotado más canastas.
En la categoría masculina participaron equipos como Guariroba Raptors, ESCS, Capital Basquete y Gama 3×3, mientras que en la femenina compitieron Ipê Rosa, AAAESCS, PCDF y AVABRA.
Durante los intervalos, el público disfrutó de presentaciones de breaking con los b-boys Navarro 061, Breakmove y Nathan, y la b-girl Thaty. La música estuvo a cargo del DJ Afrika, y la conducción del evento por Alex Hadda y Cami Abreu.
Unidad móvil de mamografías ofreció exámenes gratuitos
Como parte de la acción, la unidad móvil de mamografías de la Fundación Laço Rosa ofreció exámenes gratuitos para la detección precoz del cáncer de mama.
La unidad también estará presente en Cidade Estrutural y en la Rodoviária los días 14 y 15 de abril. Para participar, es necesario registrarse previamente en el sitio www.mamografiasalva.com.br.
