Atlas unpacks its automated tools & next-gen “no-risk” sportsbook at SiGMA Europe
Atlas-IAC, the leading sportsbook and PAM software developer, will make its next trade-show stop at SiGMA/AGS Summit, Europe’s elite-level sports betting and igaming summit, next week in Valletta (14-18 November). Atlas delegates will be on hand to unpack its latest plans and innovative product suite at Stand ST39 amid the bustling marketplace of the renowned Malta Fairs and Convention Centre (MFCC).
Atlas-IAC will take this timely opportunity to showcase its diverse, cutting-edge automated trading tools and fully automated CRM solution, which allows the complete management of customer marketing and communication activities in one place. Customers can be grouped into profiled segments based on site activity, betting behaviour, deposit regularity and a host of additional personal traits.
Get in touch to book a meeting to discuss the full platform; consider its “no-risk” sportsbook option; evaluate its in-built CRM and trading tools, built by some of the finest trading minds in the business. Or simply stop by Stand ST39, where a host of team delegates will be waiting to greet you or arrange an easy-to-follow demonstration.
Atlas-IAC’s next-generation sportsbook can also now be integrated as an iframe on a no-risk structure, running off unique pricing models – allowing users to enjoy sophisticated and reactive in-play odds up to the last second of a game, with competitive pricing on all sports. This service arrives in perfect time for this winter’s relentless sporting schedule, including the forthcoming football World Cup.
Atlas-IAC’s modern technology helps to overcome local regulatory challenges with a light physical deployment backed up by centralised control systems. The company has always placed a strong premium on social responsibility and its solution offers full workflow management across AML and customer interactions as well as flexible tools for self-exclusion, time-outs and self-imposed limits.
Among Atlas’ assorted tailored solutions for European operators are localized sports betting products, coupled with data feed solutions and a full suite of casino and skill-based games.
Richard Thorp, Strategic Advisor to Atlas-IAC and RPM Gaming Director, said: “After a stunning summer of sport, this SiGMA/AGS Summit brings together many of the sector’s heavy hitters for a timely think tank. At Atlas and RPM, we’re solving for how the industry can best provide operators and bettors with engaging, innovative betting experiences across some tent-pole, revenue-driving events this autumn – dominated, as ever, by the imminent football World Cup (invariably a defining moment for revenue and new-account growth) but not forgetting many other sports, of course, like the climaxing T20 World Cup cricket, or the ongoing NFL campaign stateside.
“Thanks to our progressive partnership with Atlas-IAC, we now provide unrivalled customised platform solutions, industry-leading automation and world-class support. To learn more about Atlas-IAC’s automated technology and the benefits of our platform, just drop us a line, or pop by Stand ST39 where my team and I look forward to welcoming you. It’s fantastic to be back together, with idyllic harbor-side views as standard after the show each day!
“Moreover, if any operator or casino is looking to mitigate the potential risk of integrating a new sportsbook, our sportsbook solution can now underwrite all the trading downside for running its services as a statement of intent and the ability of its underlying platform to deliver in any global market.
“The concept has already proven popular and was initially aimed at single-product operators – i.e. those that aren’t used to a sportsbook solution itself. For example, they wouldn’t want to have a trading team; they might ostensibly baulk at the typical risks involved in running a sportsbook. Sportsbooks used to be seen by some as a high-risk offering, or a volatile area in which to operate. But our simple pitch is, if you are a casino operator, we will integrate as an iframe into your platform – and we will underwrite all the risk. You literally don’t have to burn any fuel managing it, nor worrying about it. We’ll take care of everything. And if there is any downside, we’ll underwrite that.”
Sergei Efimenko, CEO of Atlas-IAC, added: “SiGMA Europe is always a must-make event, and there’s a real momentum behind this year’s renewal in Valletta at the revered Malta Fairs and Convention Centre (MFCC). I’m thoroughly impressed with the quality, quantity and diversity of the delegates on site, so we can’t wait to catch up with old and new friends alike.
“As for our leading sportsbook platform, its successful automation and highly-modular nature is proven. We also know how to manage diverse customer bases, premised on their history and the patterns of behaviour. So, whatever previous concerns may’ve been around operating a sportsbook (e.g. betting just before an event starts, betting at a time where there’s potentially an unreliable feed) we have the tools to spot that and correct for it. As a result, for us, underwriting wasn’t a big challenge, and we are willing to offer that on a competitive revenue-share model for new partners.
“The Atlas-IAC team will be on Stand ST39 throughout the week. Please contact our friendly staff to organise a demonstration of the most modern and thorough platform in the betting and gaming industry.”

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
