Commercial veteran joins in-demand game provider and aggregator as Director of Account Management

RAW iGaming, the developer and aggregator that is blasting industry monotony out of the sky, has revved up its commercial team with the appointment of Alexander Lapinniemi as Director of Account Management.

The appointment comes amid a huge surge in demand for RAW iGaming’s innovative titles which are powered by game-changing, trademarked mechanics including SuperSlice®, SuperTracks® and SuperSymbolsTM.

SuperSlice uses wheels instead of reels while SuperTracks uses pathways or tracks to determine wins. SuperSymbols is one of many recent RAW innovations and sees adjacent matching symbols combine – the bigger the SuperSymbol, the bigger the win potential.

Alexander, who has the best part of a decade of experience in commercial and account management roles with top-tier game providers including Play’n GO and Yggdrasil Gaming, has been hand-picked from a sea of professionals due to his unrivalled experience and passion for gaming.

He has been tasked with building an experienced team to manage RAW’s existing customers, which include tier-one brands, as well as using his extensive network of contacts to drive awareness of RAW and its portfolio of games.

RAW iGaming positions itself as the pink shark in the sea of sameness, with its suite of titles standing out on any operator game lobby.

Tom Wood, Founder and CEO of RAW iGaming, said: “Alexander is a highly valuable asset to any business, and we are thrilled to be able to welcome him to RAW and for us to leverage his passion, experience and skills as we continue to grow at scale.

“This is a hugely exciting time for RAW and with Alexander installed as our Director of Account Management, we will continue to go from strength-to-strength by standing out in a sea of sameness and delivering new and exciting player experiences.”

Alexander Lapinniemi, Director of Account Management at RAW iGaming, added: “RAW iGaming is whipping up a storm right now and I’m thrilled to be joining the ride. This is an industry that I love and am passionate about, feelings that are baked into RAW’s DNA.

“Its suite of games really do push boundaries and are proven to hit the mark with players in markets across the world. My job now is to support operators in launching the edge-of-the-seat experience our games deliver and ensure they stock them in their lobbies.”

The ongoing TIME TO WIN tournament by Boomerang Partners offers affiliates access to rewards connected with AC Milan.

Published

on

The exclusive TIME TO WIN affiliate tournament by Boomerang Partners, an Official Regional Partner of AC Milan, is gaining momentum. Dozens of affiliate teams worldwide have already joined the race to compete for valuable prizes and unique AC Milan-related experiences.

Don’t miss your chance

The clock is winding down. With the tournament closing on March 31, every day you wait is a point a competitor earns. Competition is intensifying, and access to unique experiences – including a behind-the-scenes visit to AC Milan’s training base, Milanello Sports Centre powered by Clivet – will not be available beyond this activation.

The time to act is now. Participants can access the tournament page, complete the tasks, and accumulate points, securing a place for prize draws featuring AC Milan-related experiences.

How affiliates earn points

The TIME TO WIN tournament participants complete clearly structured tasks across five segments. Each completed task brings a fixed number of points:

  • Generate new sports users for brands within Boomerang’s client portfolio (10 points per qualified action)
  • Take the survey (25 points)
  • Share your insights by contributing expert commentary (30 points)
  • Prove your creativity through a dedicated SMM challenge (25 points)
  • Leave a review on a selected platform (20 points)

As soon as affiliates reach specific point thresholds, they unlock access to prize draws. There are five in total, and the higher the score, the more draws a team qualifies for.

Exclusive AC Milan experiences

By reaching specific point thresholds, affiliate teams will gain access to the corresponding prize draws linked to exclusive AC Milan experiences. The structure is clear:

  • 150 points – qualify for the TIME TO WIN Merch Pack draw (3 sets of 5 kits each)
  • 250 points – enter the draw for official AC Milan jerseys signed by players (3 sets of 5 jerseys each)
  • 350 points – secure a place in the draw for a trip for five persons to attend AC Milan v Cagliari
  • 550 points – become eligible for the draw for a trip for five persons to attend AC Milan v Juventus, including exclusive behind-the-scenes access with pre-match access to the tunnel area, and pitchside viewing of the teams’ warm-up.

The ultimate tier requires 750 points and unlocks access to the draw for an exclusive trip to AC Milan’s legendary training base, Milanello Sports Centre powered by Clivet. Reserved for top-performing teams (2 prizes for 5 guests each), this experience offers behind-the-scenes access to the Club’s inner environment, including a tour of the facilities and the opportunity to see the Men First Team training. This is a rare behind-the-scenes experience offering a unique glimpse into AC Milan’s daily routine.

Affiliate teams participating in the TIME TO WIN tournament actively share positive feedback. For example, sports influencer Firo Orakel highlighted his experience: “Being part of the TIME TO WIN tournament truly means a lot to me, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to participate. The prizes are a strong motivator – I want to share them with my community as well, as it gives them a chance to benefit too. I actively support the campaign through my Discord server, where I engage directly with my audience, and I also promote it regularly during my streams to keep the momentum going,” said Firo.

The Rossoneri Hub as the central platform

All activities related to the TIME TO WIN tournament are featured on the Rossoneri Hub portal, the main platform where Boomerang Partners centralizes its AC Milan-related activations. This is a unique web resource that Boomerang Partners launched as an Official Regional Partner of AC Milan.

A strategic moment within the sports season

Boomerang Partners’ decision to hold the TIME TO WIN tournament in February-March 2026 is no coincidence. This period marks one of the peak moments of the sports season, alongside major international competitions and football tournaments, the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds. The company is ready to actively share its sports expertise, including through an exclusive guide which provides affiliates with information on expected shifts in player activity by competition stage, market insights, practical recommendations, and data-driven guidance for navigating the sports peak.

TIME TO WIN was built for moments like this – when the sports calendar is at its peak. Join now and compete for unique AC Milan experiences.

Fast-growing UK betting operator Fairplay Exchange helped racing fans start the Cheltenham Festival in style.

As eager punters from London poured into Paddington Station to make their way to Gloucestershire for day one of the Festival, Fairplay Exchange offered lucky travellers the chance to enter a quiz and have their rail fare covered in free bets.

Fans were put to the test by Sky Racing presenter Callum Halliwell, a familiar face to the racing community. Those who aced the quiz received the cost of their train fare as a free bet from Fairplay Exchange, giving them an extra boost ahead of a week packed with racing action.

Even participants who didn’t win the fare-back prize walked away with a free bet, reinforcing Fairplay Exchange’s commitment to giving back to fans and enhancing the overall Festival experience.

Lawrence Stoker, Chief Operating Officer at Fairplay, said:

“The Cheltenham Festival is the highlight of the year for many racegoers. The excitement starts the moment you board the train at Paddington, and we wanted to make that journey even more enjoyable.

Whether you’re a die-hard racing fan or a casual day-tripper, we hope our campaign added some extra fun to the morning commute and even gave you a little working capital for the week ahead.”

Fairplay Exchange’s mission is simple: revolutionise how people wager, collect, and distribute funds on social bets.

In today’s cashless, tech-driven world, social bets often rely on carrying cash or coordinating bank transfers. Whether it’s a round of golf, a game of pool in the pub, or challenging friends online, the Fairplay app provides a seamless way to hold, distribute, and payout funds safely and instantly.
