BIDSTACK EXPANDS US OPERATION WITH MAJOR HIRE FROM ADCOLONY

Published

on

Bidstack, the in-game advertising and video game monetization platform, today announces that Jude O’Connor joins the company from AdColony as Chief Revenue Officer.

O’Connor’s appointment signals a significant acceleration of Bidstack’s expansion in the US market. The proven advertising leader is tasked with overseeing global revenue and growth, while leading the team across sales, publishing, marketing, and strategy. He will rapidly scale Bidstack’s local teams and steer a go-to-market strategy centered on educating the US market on Bidstack’s pioneering and revolutionary in-game technology.

A 20-year adtech professional, O’Connor joins Bidstack after more than seven years at AdColony, one of the world’s largest mobile gaming monetization platforms. During his AdColony tenure, he transformed the business into a two-time winner of AdWeek’s Mobile Ad Network of the Year award before leading the company to a $400 million exit in 2021. Prior to entering the gaming space, O’Connor worked at pioneering internet companies like Yahoo and AOL.

In 2022, the global gaming market as a whole will generate $196.8 billion. Mobile games, which make up 53% of the market ($103.5 billion) have been the proving ground for the native in-game format, which now is increasingly being explored by major cross-platform publishers of PC and console titles. Just last month, the IAB and MRC released updated guidelines for the measurement of in-game ads, heralding a new wave of mass adoption. As well as native in-game ads, Bidstack’s product offering includes in-menu and rewarded video formats that provide a powerful combination of brand awareness and performance for reaching the 3.2 billion global gamers.

Jude O’Connor, Chief Revenue Officer at Bidstack, commented:

“We’re approaching an inflection point where brands are ready to be part of the immersive, multi-touchpoint experiences that gaming offers at scale. Bidstack has spearheaded the growth of native formats, and its tech enables the cleanest and smoothest native in-game experience available in the market. I’m always attracted by the potential to build a business, and Bidstack is primed to power the next phase and evolution of video game advertising across all platforms.”

James Draper, Founder and CEO of Bidstack, said:

“I’m really excited to welcome Jude to Bidstack. Jude has an unrivaled track record of establishing and scaling businesses in the gaming and adtech space, and I look forward to working with him to help execute on our commercial vision, together. Attracting talent of this caliber is a testament to the growth of Bidstack as a business and the huge, untapped opportunity for in-game advertising within the market.”

Since launching into in-game advertising in 2017 with Sports Interactive’s legendary Football Manager series, Bidstack has run award-winning in-game campaigns for brands such as Marriott Bonvoy, Paco Rabanne, and Doritos, and works with world-leading game publishers such as Codemasters, and Take-Two Interactive.

LuckyStreak, the Riga-based live casino provider, has unveiled significant upgrades to its live dealer portfolio with the launch of Prestige Blackjack, Signature Auto-Roulette, and Auto-Roulette Lounge.

The new releases form part of LuckyStreak’s ongoing product development strategy, aimed at enhancing the player experience while preserving the authenticity and trust that live casino players expect.

All three titles are broadcast live from LuckyStreak’s state-of-the-art Riga studio, streamed globally in 1080p HD and supported by secure, scalable infrastructure designed to ensure reliable delivery for operators and players worldwide.

A Refined Blackjack Experience

Prestige Blackjack introduces a sophisticated new take on one of the casino industry’s most iconic games. The studio environment has been carefully designed to replicate the feel of an exclusive private gaming lounge, combining contemporary aesthetics with subtle lighting and layered depth to create an immersive yet focused setting.

The result is a premium blackjack experience that honours the game’s heritage while modernising the atmosphere in which it is played. As with all LuckyStreak live titles, the game is hosted by expertly trained dealers who deliver each session with professionalism, warmth, and energy.

Reinventing Auto-Roulette

LuckyStreak has also expanded its roulette offering with two new versions of the popular automated format: Signature Auto-Roulette and Auto-Roulette Lounge.

Both titles feature enhanced studio environments designed to move away from traditional or dated aesthetics:

  • Signature Auto-Roulette presents a sleek, modern studio design with a contemporary backdrop.

  • Auto-Roulette Lounge offers a more relaxed atmosphere inspired by a private casino lounge.

While visually distinct, both games retain the core features players expect from live auto-roulette, including the transparency of a real-time roulette stream and high-speed gameplay capable of reaching up to 90 rounds per hour.

Introducing Cold Streaks

The new roulette titles also debut Cold Streaks, a statistical display showing the number of spins since a particular number last appeared. The feature provides players with additional data insights while remaining subtle and unobtrusive within the overall interface.

Supporting Long-Term Product Innovation

These enhancements are designed to increase engagement and immersion while maintaining the familiar mechanics that have made roulette one of the most enduring casino games globally.

The launches represent an important milestone in LuckyStreak’s broader product evolution following the appointment of Head of Product Neil Brookes, whose leadership has sharpened the company’s focus on quality, delivery, and innovation.

Neil Brookes, Head of Product at LuckyStreak, said:

“These releases represent a clear step forward in our approach to product development at LuckyStreak. Our aim was to refine and elevate classic casino experiences without losing the elements that players already love. Prestige Blackjack and the new Auto-Roulette environments are designed to feel modern, premium and immersive while remaining intuitive and authentic.

“Since joining LuckyStreak we’ve strengthened our product vision and raised our standards around quality and execution. These launches are the first of several purposeful upgrades we have planned as we build the foundations for an exciting year ahead.”

Through the continued expansion of its live casino portfolio, LuckyStreak is further strengthening its reputation for delivering high-quality live casino experiences supported by dependable technology and premium production values.

The new titles are available immediately to LuckyStreak’s global network of operator partners and can be seamlessly integrated via the company’s live casino platform and existing integrations.
