MediaTroopers Co-Founder Stepping Down

Benjamin Truman (pictured), the co-founder and Chief Operating Officer for the successful United States digital marketing agency MediaTroopers, will be stepping down from his position and leaving the company to pursue new opportunities. The agency recently announced the news alongside its gratitude and well wishes for the online gambling industry veteran.
Truman has been with the company since the very beginning, founding MediaTroopers with fellow gambling expert Shmulik Segal back in 2018. Since then, the company has established itself as a prominent digital marketing agency specializing in planning, implementing and optimizing the marketing strategy of online gambling operators in the United States.
As one of the market leaders in mobile acquisition for the online gaming industry, MediaTroopers specializes in driving high-quality traffic through numerous mobile acquisition channels, Google, AdWords, social media platforms and other advertising channels.
During his time as the Chief Operating Officer of the company, Truman has helped MediaTroopers expand exponentially, growing from just a handful of states in 2021 to over two dozen including Washington DC and Ontario at the start of 2023. His determination and dedication have helped the agency to establish itself as a leading force in the regulated United States gambling market and a pioneering digital marketing agency in many newly legalized states.
The company already holds licenses in 21 states including prominent online gambling markets like Arizona, Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and more. Furthermore, MediaTroopers is also operational in another dozen states where a license is not required on an affiliate level including Connecticut, Illinois, New York, Nevada, Ohio and more.
When asked about Truman’s departure, Shmulik Segal, the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer for MediaTroopers, left the following heartfelt comments: “It’s hard to say goodbye to a colleague and friend who has become such an integral part of the MediaTroopers team. Ben has left an incredible impact on the company that we will feel long after he leaves. I’d like to thank him for his dedication, passion and service to our company.
“His dependable work ethic and fearless leadership have guided us through our ups and downs and it has been an honor to work alongside him and learn from his generosity and commitment. Ben, you will always be a part of the MediaTroopers family.”
When asked about his exit from MediaTroopers, Truman said: “Leaving my family at MediaTroopers will never be easy but I feel that, as the company has gotten to where it is now, it is time for me to go and pursue new opportunities. While I’m looking forward to the next steps in my career, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at MediaTroopers and I will keep in touch with the team both personally and professionally.”

Raketech Announces Divestment of Casumba Assets

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Raketech Group Holding Plc announced an agreement to sell the Casumba assets due to regulatory developments affecting its markets.
The transaction, valued at a fixed consideration of EUR 12 million, will be paid in monthly instalments through December 2029, with no upfront cash payment. Under IFRS 9 accounting standards, the deferred consideration has been measured at the fair value of approximately EUR 7 million at closing. The EUR 5 million difference between the fixed consideration and the fair value reflects an element of ongoing credit risk and the extended payment schedule. Any further adjustments will be recognised through the profit and loss account over the payment period, in accordance with IFRS 9 requirements.
The consideration carries an 8% interest rate and will be paid in variable monthly instalments through December 2029.
The sale supports Raketech’s platform-first strategy, focusing on core markets and sustainable growth in iGaming affiliation. The decision to divest Casumba stems from recent regulatory shifts in its markets. This move aims to remove regulatory risks, and redirect capital to Raketech’s leading iGaming affiliation platform, AffiliationCloud.
The Casumba assets generated annualised revenues of approximately EUR 4.0 million with an EBITDA of EUR 2.9 million, based on the Q2 2025 run rate.
Raketech will record a non-cash loss on disposal of approximately EUR 10 million in Q3 2025. This loss primarily arises from the difference between the book value of the Casumba assets and the IFRS 9 fair value of the consideration. The loss on disposal is a one-off, non-recurring loss and will not impact Raketech’s cash flow or operational performance.
The transaction has been signed and closed on 24 September 2025.
Johan Svensson, CEO of Raketech, said: “This sale marks another step in refining our portfolio and concentrating on our core goal of creating the top commercial platform for iGaming affiliation. By divesting Casumba, we eliminate regulatory exposure and unlock resources for growth opportunities. This transaction reflects our dedication to sustainable shareholder value and financial discipline.”
