Gaming Innovation Group signs new deal with Starcasino in Spain
Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG) continues to strengthen its presence in the Spanish iGaming market following the signing of an agreement with Starcasino Group for its leading platform and sportsbook.
This new alliance, the 14th now in operation for GiG technology in Spain, will allow Starcasino to enter the large and highly competitive Spanish market. Having secured both sports and casino licenses in the jurisdiction, Starcasino will take advantage of GiG’s unique experience and presence in the country. Indeed, the online Spanish market generates more than €800 million of GGR on a yearly basis, with casino and sports representing 90% of that figure.
Starcasino is one of the largest regulated online and landbased casino groups in Belgium, and carries with it a strong reputation at driving personalised experiences for casino players.
The agreement which has been signed for an initial period of 3 years will look to harness the capabilities of both GiG’s sportsbook and player account manager (PAM), which are focused on delivering excellent localised and personal casino journeys and strong sports margins in competitive and regulated markets.
Hervé Schlosser, Managing Director of Sportnco Gaming at GiG, said “I am really pleased to have signed this partnership with Starcasino, to power their entry into the appealing Spanish market. I am convinced that our combined sportsbook, platform technology and regulatory experience is well suited to help established operators like Starcasino power into new regulated markets.”
Alejandro Casanova, Country Manager for Starcasino Spain said: “We feel very pleased to have reached an agreement with the GIG Group. After many years of work and success in Belgium we have initiated our expansion to other markets, in Spain we have selected GIG Group’s technologies to successfully face the challenges of this market.”

SCCG Management Announces Strategic Partnership with Playphoria to Advance AR-Powered Prediction Market Experiences Across Live Sports and Gaming
SCCG Management, a leading advisory firm in the global gaming industry, today announced a strategic partnership with PlayphoriaTM, an augmented reality platform transforming live sporting events into real-time prediction market and sports wagering experiences through smart eyewear and connected digital interfaces.
Through this partnership, SCCG will support Playphoria’s business development, strategic go-to-market planning, and global sales distribution efforts across gaming, sports, entertainment, and venue-based ecosystems. Playphoria’s platform is designed to bring real-time predictive market overlays directly into the user’s field of vision, allowing fans to engage with live event forecasting, dynamic odds, and context-triggered market opportunities without shifting attention away from the event itself.
Built as a patent-pending AR interface for real-time prediction markets, PlayphoriaTM combines smart glasses-native design, live event forecasting, instant pricing visualization, and gesture, voice, or companion-device execution. The platform is built to integrate with regulated exchanges, prediction market operators, sportsbooks, stadiums, teams, and smart eyewear ecosystems, creating a new interface layer for live sports engagement.
Playphoria’s technology is centered on winning the in-venue fan experience first, starting with live sports attendees, early smart glasses users, and high-engagement sports bettors. Its phased expansion model includes pilot activations in select stadiums, integrations with prediction market and sportsbook partners, and long-term platform growth through team, league, and smart eyewear distribution channels. The company’s model is designed to monetize through revenue share on wagers, licensing, subscriptions, transaction fees, sponsorships, and AR advertising inventory.
SCCG’s role in the partnership will include strategic introductions, sales support, market positioning, partnership development, and commercialization support across its global network of operators, platforms, sports properties, and technology partners. By aligning PlayphoriaTM with key stakeholders across gaming and sports entertainment, SCCG will help accelerate adoption of an immersive, real-time interface built for the future of in-venue engagement.
“Playphoria represents a compelling step forward in how live sports, prediction markets, and next-generation interfaces can converge into a more immersive user experience,” said Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “As fan engagement continues to evolve beyond the phone, Playphoria is building a category-defining platform at the intersection of smart eyewear, live event forecasting, and real-time market participation. We’re excited to support their growth and introduce this innovation across our global network.”
The partnership reflects a broader shift toward immersive, hands-free engagement models that blend real-time data, live sports, and predictive participation into a seamless venue experience. As prediction markets scale and smart eyewear adoption accelerates, PlayphoriaTM is positioning itself to become a foundational interface for the next generation of sports engagement.

SCCG Management Announces Strategic Partnership with IntualityAI to Advance Predictive Intelligence for Prediction Markets, Sports Betting, and Emerging Gaming Verticals
SCCG Management, a global advisory firm specializing in the gambling and sports entertainment industries, today announced a strategic partnership with IntualityAI to support business development, commercialization, strategic distribution, and market expansion of its real-time prediction technology, with a major focus on prediction markets and sports gaming applications.
The collaboration will focus on introducing IntualityAI’s technology to operators, platforms, strategic partners, and other qualified counterparties across prediction markets, sports betting, fantasy sports, skill-based gaming, and peer-versus-peer gaming.
IntualityAI has developed a real-time prediction system designed to simulate the human prediction and decision-making functions in fast-moving environments. Its technology processes live conditions as they unfold, recognizes meaningful shifts, and generates early alerts for better-timed decisions. Rather than relying mainly on static historical patterns, the system is built to read what is happening now and project what is likely to happen next.
That capability is especially relevant for prediction markets and sports-related forecasting environments, where timing, momentum, pressure, and situational change can quickly alter outcomes. IntualityAI’s technology is designed to see those changes sooner, supporting earlier decisions, stronger forecasting logic, and more actionable intelligence for dynamic event-driven products.
Beyond sports and prediction markets, the company’s system has broader applications across live assessment systems, healthcare alerting, investment management, website behavior forecasting, and remote predictive monitoring. That broader utility reinforces the flexibility of the technology while SCCG’s initial focus remains on sports-related commercialization and prediction-driven gaming opportunities.
Through this partnership, SCCG Management will support IntualityAI in refining its go-to-market strategy and identifying the strongest commercial opportunities for licensing, pilot programs, strategic partnerships, and broader enterprise adoption. Initial efforts will place significant emphasis on prediction markets and adjacent sports-related forecasting products, while also pursuing opportunities across sports betting, fantasy, skill-based gaming, and peer-versus-peer formats.
As part of the agreement, SCCG will lead strategic introductions to operators, distributors, strategic partners, investors, and other counterparties that may create revenue opportunities, partnership structures, capital relationships, or broader strategic value for IntualityAI.
“Prediction markets are becoming an increasingly important part of the broader conversation around sports, forecasting, and interactive gaming, and we believe IntualityAI is well positioned to bring meaningful innovation into that space,” said Stephen A. Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “What makes this company compelling is its ability to simulate the human prediction and decision-making functions in real time. As prediction markets, sports betting, fantasy sports, and skill-based gaming continue to converge, we see growing demand for sharper insight, earlier signals, and more actionable intelligence. Our role is to help IntualityAI bring that capability to market through the right commercial strategy, the right partnerships, and the right introductions.”
“Prediction markets and gaming increasingly reward those who can recognize change sooner and act before the outcome is obvious,” said Grant Renier, Founder and CEO of Intuality Inc. “IntualityAI was built to simulate the human prediction and decision-making functions in real time, and SCCG gives us the market access to apply that capability across prediction markets, sports-related products, and emerging gaming opportunities.”
The partnership reflects SCCG’s continued focus on helping emerging and established technology companies commercialize solutions that address the future of gaming. By connecting new technologies with qualified operators, strategic partners, and enterprise decision-makers, SCCG continues to serve as a bridge between innovation and scalable market adoption.
