Leading free-to-play aggregator secures key CCO talent in the shape of Playtech’s former Commercial Director

Inside The Pocket (ITP), the leading free-to-play (F2P) aggregation platform, has appointed Ruairi Boyle to the new role of Chief Commercial Officer, as it bids to extend its presence and influence across the industry.

Boyle arrives at Inside The Pocket after a successful stint at Playtech, where he proved himself in a similar senior commercial capacity, having taken the reins as Commercial Director for the igaming powerhouse over the previous seven years. There, he diligently built the brand’s reputation in global gaming markets, with a keen eye for strategy and new sales across digital and land-based international markets.

The Irishman is also an industry veteran across an array of decision-making roles – notably at brands such as Ladbrokes, Genting and BoyleSports – where his flair for strategy, commercial negotiations and product planning for sportsbooks afforded him prescient player-focussed acumen around the merits of sports betting engagement.

Now Boyle brings those skills to bear at the sports betting sector’s pre-eminent free-to-play aggregation platform. He will be responsible for managing ITP’s existing partners – which include the multi-award-winning likes of Low6, Incentive Games, Thunderbite, PunditLeague and BOA Gaming – and securing the expansion of Inside The Pocket’s dedicated F2P skill set into international territories.

Inside The Pocket is committed to being a flexible customer acquisition and retention tool, driving engagement through a range of games whose formats responsibly acquire and retain customers at low cost but also remain fully compliant as regulation continues to roll out across regions from the U.S. to Asia, Africa and LatAm. Its agnostic platform offers a strategic solution which works territory-by-territory, educating uninitiated audiences with fully-integrated games.

Ruairi Boyle, Chief Commercial Officer at ITP, said: “I’ve always based my business relationships on the ability to add value. Working with Hussain at ITP, I’ve already been hugely impressed by the technical excellence of the games assembled, while we are currently benefiting from massive momentum across the industry from data provider, to sportsbooks, to platform, and to operators. ICE London provided early consolidation of that fact. I’m absolutely thrilled with our pipeline, alongside our combined contacts in the sports and sports betting space. ITP are trusted, respected and on a tear. I can’t back a stronger story than that.”

Hussain Naqi, founder and CEO of Inside The Pocket, added: “We were naturally delighted Ruairi joined the ITP team ahead of ICE London and I’m pleased to say we’ve hit the ground running ever since. His experience and Rolodex of contacts in sales and business development are second to none. I have no doubt he’ll be a true asset to both ITP and all our progressive book of clients, as we bid to broaden our global footprint. Consequently, it’s a timely moment for new partners to discover how a single integration with ITP can open up the entire free-to-play marketplace.”

Deal expands Stake Denmark’s casino catalogue following the operator’s five-year Danish licence approval earlier this year.

Stakelogic has launched its full slot portfolio with Stake Denmark through Relax Gaming, taking the studio live in Denmark’s regulated iGaming market.

The agreement makes Stakelogic’s slot line-up available to Stake Denmark players, including Penguin Payday, Candy Links Bonanza 1 & 2 and Book of Adventure Super Stake Edition.

Stake launched in 2017 and officially entered Denmark earlier this year after securing a five-year online casino and sports betting licence.

Alessandro Sorci, Sales Manager at Stakelogic, said: “There is a real sense of intent behind Stake’s arrival in Denmark, which makes this an exciting partnership for us. Launching our full slot portfolio with the brand means players can experience the range we have built at Stakelogic, from more recognisable series to releases with a very different visual identity and tone.”

Peter Eugen Clausen, Managing Director for Stake Denmark added: “Entering Denmark was an important step for Stake, and as we continue to establish the brand locally, it is important that the casino experience has real depth from the beginning. Stakelogic gives us that through a portfolio that feels distinctive and well suited to building momentum in the market.”

Event backs DAR Bjorn’s new Respite Centre after €200,000 raised in 2025, with proceeds earmarked for equipment and four resident rooms.

BGaming will stage the second edition of its Charity Gala on 29 May 2026 at The Phoenicia Hotel in Malta, with proceeds directed to DAR Bjorn, the country’s neurological home.

The iGaming supplier said the event follows its inaugural gala, which raised €200,000 in 2025 and helped fund construction of DAR Bjorn’s new Respite Centre. For 2026, BGaming said funds raised will be used to equip the new centre with ventilators, motorized beds, air mattresses, hoist lifters and oxygen concentrators, and to fund four resident rooms for new admissions. The company added that “every euro raised will be allocated directly to DAR Bjorn,” and that BGaming will cover event production costs separately.

DAR Bjorn was founded by Bjorn Formosa, who previously worked in iGaming before being diagnosed with ALS at 28, according to BGaming. The charity currently provides care to around 60 residents across two centres and supports nearly 800 people in the community.

The invitation-only event will be held at the Bastion Pool area of The Phoenicia Hotel. BGaming said it is partnering with Next.io as official media partner, with Joseph Chetcuti set to host. The programme includes live music by Versatile, an art performance and auction by L7Matrix and Gonçalo MAR, and a charity raffle.

Marina Ostrovtsova, Chief Executive Officer at BGaming, said: “Last year’s Gala showed us what is possible when our industry comes together around a shared purpose. Raising €200,000 in a single evening was a remarkable achievement and provided real, tangible support to the people at DAR Bjorn who need it most.

“Returning for a second year with an even greater ambition is something we are incredibly proud of. The funds we raise this year will go toward equipment that directly improves residents’ quality of life. These donations are the difference between comfort and hardship for people living with serious neurological conditions, and we hope both the iGaming community and the wider Maltese community will once again stand with us.”
