DAZN appoints ELEVEN Co-Founder Marc Watson as Chief Commercial Officer
Following DAZN Group’s announcement that it has completed the acquisition of ELEVEN Group businesses and US-headquartered social media creative agency Team Whistle, Marc Watson has been appointed as Chief Commercial Officer.
Marc will lead the rights and content acquisition strategy and drive other commercial initiatives across DAZN Group. He joins an ambitious global leadership team, which includes top executives from technology, entertainment, media and sport.
Marc replaces Jacopo Tonoli, who after 14 successful years with the company, is embarking on new ventures. Jacopo has been the CCO since the launch of DAZN in 2016 and has been instrumental in the success becoming a global leader in sports streaming. He played a strategic central role in the growth of DAZN, overseeing its major rights acquisitions, and he will remain a Special Advisor to the business.
Marc co-founded competitor business ELEVEN Group alongside Andrea Radrizzani in 2015 and was CEO until ELEVEN was acquired by DAZN in February 2023. In seven years, Marc led ELEVEN’s expansion into 230 markets. Prior to founding ELEVEN, Marc was the Chief Executive for BT’s television business, where he devised and successfully launched BT Sport, including securing their first ever Premier League rights.
Marc’s appointment follows DAZN’s recent announcement that it has completed the acquisition of ELEVEN and Team Whistle. The deal builds on DAZN’s ambitious growth strategy, combining access to premium rights with a range of other products and services, including gaming, e-commerce and social experiences.
Shay Segev, CEO DAZN Group said: “Marc has an impeccable track record in the sports media and entertainment sector. His experience will be invaluable to us as we continue to innovate and improve the way people around the world enjoy watching sports. I would like to thank Marc’s predecessor, Jacopo Tonoli, who has been with DAZN since 2008 and played a key role in developing DAZN into the extraordinary business it is today. We wish him all the best for the future.”
“I am incredibly proud to have been a part of the growth of DAZN. The opportunities to secure major rights acquisitions, such as Serie A, LaLiga, UEFA Champions League as many others, that contributed to our growth in key European markets will always be a highlight of my time here. As I move on to new challenges, I am honoured to continue serving as a Special Advisor and will always cherish my time at the company,” said Jacopo Tonoli.
Marc Watson said: “DAZN’s ambition and customer proposition is hugely compelling. They are investing and developing a sports entertainment offer that is setting new standards for the way fans enjoy sport and delivering engaging and interactive products that will showcase rights holders’ content. I am excited to be joining such an ambitious and committed team of likeminded professionals for the next chapter of DAZN’s journey.”

1win Announced Token Launch on Solana and BNB Networks
International iGaming brand 1win has announced the upcoming launch of 1win Token, a native crypto asset designed to grow alongside the 1win ecosystem. The token to be deployed on both Solana and BNB Chain, offering benefits from both blockchain environments.
The airdrop criteria tasks are officially announced. It is available exclusively to users of the 1win Token TMA (Telegram Mini App) — a tap-to-earn mini-game that has attracted millions of participants since launch.
“The bigger the platform gets, the more revenue it generates, the more tokens are bought back and burned”, said Alex Filkin, Head of Crypto at 1win. “It’s a transparent model directly linked to real product usage and platform growth.”
1win Token was developed for iGaming-related utility and is designed for use across the 1win platform.
- Play-based usage: $1WIN can be used within games, sports wagering features, and lottery-style modes available on the platform.
- Cashback mechanics: Periodic cashback distributions are facilitated in tokens through an automated repurchase mechanism.
- Network compatibility: The token is supported across both Solana and BNB networks, allowing use with different tools and wallets.
To maintain long-term balance and utility, 1win Token uses two independent mechanisms: Weekly Buyback (for Cashback) and Daily Token Burn.
The mechanics of the Weekly Buyback are simple. Every week, 1win allocates a portion of platform-generated revenue, derived from both fiat and digital asset activity, to repurchase tokens from the open market. Repurchased tokens are then allocated to users who elect to receive $1WIN cashback.
When platform activity is conducted directly using 1win Token, cashback distributions are sourced from existing token-related platform allocations, and no repurchase activity occurs within that cycle.
Daily Token Burn works differently. Every day, 10% of all 1win Tokens spent on the platform — in games, lotteries, BattlePass, etc. — are burned forever. This helps reduce the total supply over time, making the remaining tokens scarcer.
The total supply is limited to 10 billion tokens, split between BNB Chain and Solana. This amount is locked in the smart contracts and can never be increased. All mechanics — buybacks, burns, and cashback payouts — are automated and fully transparent, handled by audited smart contracts on both blockchains.
Key Benefits for Users and Token Holders
For Players:
- Crypto-based deposit bonus programs with defined limits
- Expedited deposit and withdrawal processing, typically under 90 seconds
- Access to lottery-style features for 1win Token holders
- Eligibility for participation in a TMA-based airdrop mechanism
For DeFi users:
- Ongoing token demand mechanisms supported by weekly repurchase activity
- Dual-chain access across decentralized exchanges and liquidity pools
- Staking and reward mechanisms designed for on-chain participation
- Vesting frameworks intended to manage token distribution dynamics
The project has already received interest from participants across the crypto and gaming communities.

Stakelogic reinvents vintage slot thrills with Mega Fortune’s Hold ’n’ Win twist
From fruit to wealth, traditional slot icons reappear alongside Coin collections and bonus elements.
Stakelogic has broadened its slot collection with the launch of Mega Fortune, a Hold ’n’ Win game that embraces traditional slot design while incorporating bonus features to maintain the momentum from one spin to the next.
Set on a traditional 5×4 grid featuring 20 paylines, Mega Fortune combines fruit, BARs, and sevens symbols with Gold and Silver Coins that are central to the game’s winning possibilities. The game has an RTP of as high as 96.03% and a top multiplier of x1,000.
Coin symbols enhance the primary experience, showcasing fixed values of up to 25 times the total wager and replacing each other to assist in forming winning combinations. The Hold ’n’ Win Bonus activates when five or more Coins appear anywhere on the reels during a single spin. In the feature, Coin symbols become固定不变, enabling wins to accumulate as more Coin values are gathered and summed to the total.
Aside from the bonus round, the game features the Sevens Sweep mechanic, in which a Red 7 Chest symbol can gather visible Coin values from the reels, generating chances for quicker win accumulation and maintaining excitement even when not in the Hold ’n’ Win feature.
For those wanting to speed up the gameplay, Mega Fortune features a Buy Bonus option, granting instant access to the Hold ’n’ Win feature, along with Super Stake
, which increases the likelihood of activating Free Spins for half of the wager.
James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, said: “Mega Fortune is a game that players who appreciate our classic slot catalogue will enjoy and we have enough new gameplay features involved to keep the game rewarding. The core mechanics, multipliers and collection lock in with the Hold n Win bonus and make this game a winner for both old and new players.”
