Kudos Labs announced plans of building a new groundbreaking community focused gaming and technology rewards platform. Created for gamers, by gamers, its mission is to allow everyone in the community, regardless of platform or genre, to connect and receive rewards. Points can be earned through shopping, playing games, watching content or simply being part of the Kudos Labs community, and then exchanged for highly desired rewards as a gamer..

Aiming to disrupt the existing siloed gaming ecosystem, the new rewards platform will adopt a community first approach. Rewards will be carefully curated to deliver real value to gamers, including things like V-Bucks for Fortnite or CS:GO skins, exclusives, new headsets, a fully customized PC, early access to certain games or money can’t buy experiences – such as the recent LEC community demo party which took place in Malmö in September with some of the biggest names in League of Legend. Kudos Labs wants to make everything you dream of as a gamer come true.

Wasae Imran (Co-Founder and Co-CEO) will be presenting at the Startup Studio at Slush 2022, the world’s leading startup event, on November 17, 2022. Fidan will be showcasing more of the platform to business leaders, investors and 4,600 other startup founders.

Kudos Labs has already secured partnerships with high profile organizations within the tech, ecommerce and gaming industries, giving gamers the chance to earn points through shopping from the likes of: HBO Max, Philips, Lenovo, Lacoste, Nike, Wolt, gaming marketplaces Eneba, Samsung and GOG. With over hundreds of brands that users can earn rewards on and over hundreds of rewards to claim, Kudos Labs is a universal gaming rewards platform for everyone in the community.

The platform was founded by tech and gaming industry leaders Fidan Gutaj (Former Head of Sales Video Network at ESL and co-founder of Charge.gg), Wasae Imran (Former Global Head at ESL and co-founder of Five Vectors) and Pedro Oliveira (Creator of the Baron Bot – the biggest League of Legends tool on Discord, and Former Lead Engineer at DojoMadness). They have already been joined by other industry experts from Dreamhack, Green Man Gaming and others on their journey. As well as a wealth of diverse expertise spanning publishers to top-tier esports leagues to Discord, those at the helm of the company also bring a great deal of passion and first-hand experience, having been gamers their entire lives and avid nerds on collecting points from several non-gaming reward programs.

Wasae Imran, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Kudos Labs says: “ We believe that the time, engagement and purchases gamers do should be valued and rewarded accordingly. We have made it our mission to connect the multitude of disparate platforms, technologies, games and in-game currencies with our exclusive reward recipe. That’s our goal; to make gaming an even more exciting and rewarding space, for all stakeholders involved, from users to partners.”

Kudos Labs has raised €4 million from a variety of investors for the platform – including firstminute capital, Icebreaker Ventures, J12 Ventures, with angel investments from Former Ventures Director at Visa Mark Pettit, a senior executive from PayPal Ventures, VP at ESL & 4 Media Network Founder Issam El Ghouzafi and League-M Group.

Sam Endacott, Partner at firstminute capital says: “Kudos is on a mission to create the infrastructure at the intersection of gaming, ecom and fintech, leveraging built-in shopping, gamification and a unique reward store directly integrated into where gamers hangout, such as Discord and Twitch. We believe that now is the right time to create a layer for this ecosystem given the momentum in gaming, and the rise of influencers in the space. We are excited to play a part in their journey to change the gaming world, elevate the community and connect different industries together in a new way.”

Under the theme “Perspectives,” a total of 43 compliance staff members from the Merkur Group across various countries gathered from 30 June to 1 July to further develop compliance processes in a sustainable manner. Colleagues from Germany, Spain, England, Malta, Australia and the US traveled to the two-day meeting at Benkhausen Castle, the in-house training centre of the Merkur Group. The workshop set the stage with expert presentations on global and digital topics such as cybersecurity, risk management and artificial intelligence. A panel discussion featuring representatives from various international companies within the Merkur Group, as well as a digital quiz, rounded out the programme.

In keeping with its guiding principle, the workshop focused on sharing experiences, fostering global networking and providing impetus for the further development of compliance processes. Because informal exchanges are also key to close cooperation, the evening programme created a relaxed atmosphere and gave participants the opportunity to continue their conversations, make new connections, and further strengthen team spirit across company and national boundaries.

“The ideas and diverse perspectives gained during the workshop will now be incorporated into our day-to-day work and help us to continuously improve collaboration and existing processes,” said Ludwig Beckmann, Chief Compliance Officer of the Merkur Group.

The concluding feedback session also highlighted just how valuable the international exchange is. The term “collaboration” came up particularly often, a clear indication of how highly the participants value working closely together within the international compliance network.

GRAI Launches New Campaign Helping Parents to Spot the Signs of Underage Gambling

The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) is encouraging parents and guardians to be alert to the signs of gambling among young people and to intervene early to prevent gambling harm.

The signs of gambling aren’t always visible, the GRAI in partnership with the Health Service Executive Addiction Services have developed dedicated advice on www.grai.ie to equip families with the knowledge to recognise the signs, advice on how to start the conversation with their children about gambling, and where to seek help if required.

To support the guidance, the GRAI has launched a national public awareness campaign across video on demand, radio, digital audio, and social media platforms, bringing this message directly to families across Ireland.

With the lines between entertainment and gambling increasingly blurred, especially online, what may look like harmless fun can still involve risk, money and chance in ways that affect young developing brains. Research commissioned by the GRAI and conducted by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) found that children who gamble are twice as likely to develop a gambling problem as adults.

Anne Marie Caulfield, CEO of the GRAI said: “We have launched this campaign to help parents start an important conversation about the risks of underage gambling. Children and young people are among the most at-risk members of Irish society when it comes to gambling exposure and harm. Children’s brains are still developing the judgement and impulse-control systems used to weigh up risk, which makes gambling appealing to them.

“With online gambling available at any time of the day, it is easy for the warning signs to be hidden. The guidance the GRAI developed with the HSE Addiction Services sets out some of the key behavioural signs to look out for in your child.”
