On January 25, 2023, a new company entered the global iGaming B2B market: GR8 Tech. As the successor to Parimatch Tech — the company that developed the platform and marketing solutions for the Parimatch brand — GR8 Tech combines 30 years of experience in the iGaming market with a focus on long-term partnerships, commitment, and a straightforward approach to providing great gaming tech to satisfy the even greater ambition of its clients.

Coming from a large ecosystem, we know firsthand about working with B2C clients, clearly understand the pains and problems of operators, and can solve them with our developments. We understand that business is a race in which the only partners you need are GR8 ones. That means us.

“The creation of GR8 Tech is a long-awaited event, towards which we at Parimatch Tech have been consistently working throughout 2022. I am delighted and proud to see Parimatch Tech’s people embark on this new B2B journey. I’m convinced their experience and expertise under the guidance of GR8 Tech CEO Evgen Belousov will allow them to realise all the ambitious goals the company sets itself,” commented Maksym Liashko, ex-CEO of Parimatch Tech.

Our race in the gambling industry began in 1994 with the birth of Parimatch — a worldwide brand, famous for its fighting spirit and partnerships with top football clubs, athletes and esports organisations. As well as the Parimatch brand development, we discovered and developed the potential of technologies for the industry. In 2021, our expertise in betting and iGaming technologies became vital, and Parimatch Tech was established to meet the Parimatch brand demand for technologies to conquer new heights.

Our platform handles the peak betting loads from any top sports event on this planet without downtime. For us, it is now time for a new race: Parimatch Tech’s evolution to GR8 Tech.

We can now provide full tech coverage for established gambling businesses, including:

A GR8 iGaming platform with a sportsbook, casino, payments hub, flexible API, CRM tools, player management, risk management, fraud prevention, gamification, and other custom tools and services.
GR8 BaaS (Business-as-a-Service), offering a ready-made business with a running structure, streamlined processes, launched marketing, a reporting system, and early financial results.
The GR8 Parimatch franchise, with the well-known worldwide Parimatch brand and iGaming platform for regulated markets under complete partner management.

In addition, GR8 Tech offers consulting, integration, and operation services — all via a convenient one-stop-shop approach. The outcome is all-round, stable, resilient, adaptive, and highly scalable business solutions for iGaming companies, which are easy to integrate and manage without the need for supervision or intrusion.

“Today’s B2B iGaming market is quite saturated with offers, yet it very much lacks consistency, convenience, and great service. We are here to change that and set a new norm in what a great product means. GR8 Tech composes tailor-made gaming solutions designed to evolve and fit the changing business environments, thus allowing our partners the freedom of forward thinking and long-term planning. And that’s GR8!” said GR8 Tech CEO Evgen Belousov.

All GR8 Tech products and services have been quality checked by Parimatch brand operators worldwide. Company clients (Parimatch Eastern Europe, PМІ, Parimatch United) successfully use GR8 Tech products in 15 markets worldwide, including Ukraine, Cyprus, the United Kingdom, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Kenya, Nigeria, and several other countries across Europe, Asia, and Oceania. The GR8 Parimatch brand is supported by several global partners, including Oleksandr Usyk, Parimatch Responsible Gambling Ambassador; four English Premier League teams (Leicester City, Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United); and two top esports organisations (00Nation and Team Secret).

GR8 Tech’s first offline contact with the global iGaming community will take place on February 7-9, 2023, at ICE London, in meeting room S10-425, where attendees will be able to meet the company’s CEO, CTO, and BD Manager, learn more about the greatest tech in the iGaming B2B market and be one of the first in 2023 to get GR8 Tech for their businesses.

CSMG will create and operate College Street FighterTM Tour in North America for the 2024-25 academic year
College conference Street Fighter 6 champions will punch their ticket to the national Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) & May Madness in 2025

Collegiate Sports Management Group (CSMG) announced today during the kick-off of its Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) Texas presented by McDonald’s that it has joined forces with Capcom to launch the College Street FighterTM Tour during its 2024-25 academic year with the finalists competing at CECC Texas in 2025 throughout its May Madness event. Street FighterTM 6 will join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch 2®, Rocket League, and VALORANT as part of the official game titles for CECC.

“We are immensely excited to welcome Capcom into the CECC family and provide a path to glory for student athletes to showcase their skills in Street Fighter 6,” said Michael Schreck, Chief Executive Officer for CSMG. “In our fourth year of building May Madness, we continue to listen to our players, coaches and fans on how to make our event more inclusive, and the partnership with Street Fighter 6 is a resounding success.”

“The Street Fighter franchise is a multi-generational and global game series, so it’s important for us to continue to grow that fandom at the collegiate level,” said Michael Larson, Head of Esports at Capcom USA. “CECC continues to set the standard for competition and community, so it’s a natural format for expansion, and we’re eager for College Street Fighter Tour competitors across North America to show off their skills and join us in Texas next year.”

”The vision for the College Street Fighter Tour is a publisher backed esports series that integrates into the existing infrastructure of The Collegiate Esports Commissioners Cup, a bracket style event series that takes place every year and has been coined May Madness. The path to championship includes invitational bids to national and regional level conferences as well as official CECC qualifiers held regionally,” said Angela Bernhard Thomas, Chief Esports Officer for CSMG’s ESPORTSU.

Every college or university from a 2-year or 4-year institution can participate through their conference or through select qualifiers. Wim Stocks will serve as the Commissioner of the College Street Fighter Tour and bring his 20 years of experience in college esports to create a dynamic and engaging format of competitive gaming.

“Since the launch of Street Fighter 6 in June of ’23, it is clear the rich legacy of Street Fighter is stronger than ever and helping lift the fighting game community to still greater heights,” said Stocks. “Having a structure now for a national collegiate competitive series, league, and events, Capcom and ESPORTSU are building a phenomenal ecosystem and mechanism for developing up and coming Street Fighter 6 competitors.”

More details on the College Street Fighter Tour will be shared later this year.

CSMG welcomes 84 teams (up from 64 in 2023) this weekend from a record breaking 19 conference champions to the largest scholastic esports festival globally. They will compete at Esports Stadium Arlington on May 3-5 for the chance to hoist one of the coveted trophies. Fans can watch the CECC Texas on ESPORTSU’s Twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/esportsu.

CECC Texas 2023 was also recently awarded LAN Event of the Year during the inaugural Scholars Awards in Las Vegas, which are produced in partnership with the Esports Awards.
