Oddsgate was selected by Lisboa Unicorn Capital to participate in Collision, an internationally renowned event that will take place in Toronto, Canada, from June 17th to 20th. The primary purpose of this event is to bring together big names in technology and redefine the direction of this constantly growing industry.

Lisboa Unicorn Capital, an initiative led by the Lisbon City Council, stands as a driving force in the global landscape of entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology. Its latest endeavor empowers startups to engage with international events by providing support and resources. The program “From Lisbon to the World: Mission Global Events” exemplifies this commitment, offering startups a gateway to global opportunities.

Oddsgate, a standout in the local tech scene, was selected to represent the portuguese capital at this major international event.

The occasion will allow the iGaming company to showcase its team as exhibitors at Collision, fostering invaluable connections and insights in what has often been called “the Olympics of technology”.

Although this is a new experience for Oddsgate, which hasn’t had the chance to participate in this specific event in previous years, it won’t be the company’s first relationship with the country, as it already has established operations in the Canadian iGaming market.

Intending to evolve its operations more and more in the country, this participation represents a valuable chance to strengthen existing ties and expand the barriers of action of the Lisbon company, which already has a global presence.

Guilherme Graziani, Head of Business Development at LatAm, and Tomás Medley, Head of Account Management, are leading the charge, ensuring Oddsgate’s presence resonates powerfully at Collision.

This is a great achievement and a source of pride for the entire team, as highlighted by the co-founder, Mickael Shahinyan:

“Being selected for the event confirms our stance of always being attentive to the market, trends and opportunities to continue evolving. It also demonstrates our alignment with the rigorous standards and bold vision of Lisboa Unicorn Capital. We are very happy to be renowned for our unprecedented integrity of product, technology and service advancements cooped with regulatory compliance, giving our partners great advantage in their operational markets.”

Organized by the Web Summit Group, renowned for curating transformative tech gatherings worldwide, Collision promises to be a nexus of innovation and inspiration. That’s why Oddsgate foresees meaningful encounters, enriching exchanges, diversity of nationalities and cultures, and the identification of trends that will shape the market.

As Oddsgate embarks on this milestone journey, it not only elevates its own profile and allows it to acquire and share relevant knowledge but also underscores Lisbon’s burgeoning reputation as a dynamic hub for global tech innovation.

Vitor Paulin ends cycle at Luck.bet with data-driven transformation, new website, and new campaign featuring Caio Castro as legacy.

The executive leaves the operator as of June 1 after leading the structuring of a team of more than 40 professionals and delivering the company’s highest results in Turnover and GGR.

Vitor Paulin, Chief Marketing & Growth Officer (CMGO) at Luck.bet, is ending his cycle at the operator as of June 1, 2026. During his tenure leading the company’s marketing operations, the executive drove a complete transformation that integrated Brand, Performance and Media, Affiliates, Influencers, CRM, PR, Product, and BI/Analytics into a single customer journey — Acquisition, Retention, Monetization, and Recovery.

The results were significant throughout his entire period at the company, with a marked acceleration in the second half of 2025 when he implemented the data-driven methodology: +54% Turnover, +49% GGR, +26% monthly active users, +22% average ticket size, +22% First Time Deposit (FTD), and +16% conversion rate from Registration to FTD.

Vitor leaves Luck.bet with three structural deliverables to the company: the completion of a data-driven culture implementation, a new operator website, the new brand campaign featuring Caio Castro — produced under his leadership and scheduled to launch in the coming weeks — and a new multidisciplinary team of more than 40 professionals structured in squads and operating under a data-driven culture focused on performance and customer-centricity.

“Throughout my time at Luck.bet, we led a complete marketing transformation. In the second half of 2025, with the data-driven methodology fully in place, we achieved +54% Turnover, +49% GGR, +26% monthly active users, and +22% average ticket size. It was a collective effort supported by a multidisciplinary team of more than 40 professionals, including new hires.

I thank Ivan Dutra and the entire Luck.bet team for the partnership and trust throughout this cycle,” said Vitor Paulin, former CMGO of Luck.bet.

Reflecting on his legacy at the operator, the executive highlights the integration between departments:

“The biggest legacy is structural: we transformed the operation into a data-driven marketing machine focused on results, integrating Brand, Performance, Affiliates, Influencers, CRM, PR, Product, and BI/Analytics into a single journey — Acquisition, Retention, Monetization, and Recovery.

I leave with the migration to the new Luck.bet website completed, the upcoming campaign featuring Caio Castro ready to go live in the coming weeks, and a team of more than 40 professionals consolidated and operating. The house is organized for the next cycles,” he added.

Regarding next steps, the executive plans a short break for strategic reflection before starting a new cycle: “I will take a short window for perspective before the next executive cycle.

In the coming weeks I will be open to conversations with market leaders — my main focus remains iGaming, with a natural extension into companies born digital such as fintechs, retail-techs, e-commerce, and the new economy in regulated markets in Brazil, Latin America, and Europe.

And who knows, I may also venture into entrepreneurship — I have no shortage of ideas for new products!” he concluded.

AGS celebrates 10 straight years as a best and brightest company to work for in the nation

Published

ags-celebrates-10-straight-years-as-a-best-and-brightest-company-to-work-for-in-the-nation

For the 10th consecutive year, global gaming supplier AGS announced it has been named one of the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in the Nation.

Presented by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR), the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For awards are not pay-to-play. Instead they are based on an independent, research-driven assessment of company practices and employee survey results.

Ten straight years places AGS in rare company by any measure; in gaming, it’s unprecedented.

No other gaming manufacturer has been recognized in the program or been awarded this designation, making this recognition a standout achievement for the team and the industry.

“Ten years of this honor is a testament not to us as a company, but to the remarkable individuals who power everything we do,” said David Lopez, President and Chief Executive Officer of AGS.

“We’ve built something truly special here – a people-first culture of long-term excellence that I’m incredibly proud of and that continues to propel us forward.”

Companies are evaluated across a comprehensive set of criteria that reflect the employee experience.

These include compensation and benefits, engagement and retention, education and development, achievement and recognition, civility and inclusion, leadership, communication, community initiates and corporate responsibility, and overall workplace well-being.

AGS earned high marks for its focus on key areas such as benefits, communications and shared vision, civility and inclusion, and employee enrichment, engagement and retention – surpassing the Best and Brightest benchmark, which reflects the median score of other participating companies.

In 2026, only 19 other companies in the country reached the 10-year mark, and just 46 organizations in total have been recognized for more than 10 years.

“What makes this recognition meaningful is that it’s based on how our employees truly feel,” said Kim Nasuta, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at AGS.

“Ten years in a row speaks to the consistency of our values and how deeply embedded they are in how we hire, support, and grow our people.”

This milestone reflects a decade of AGS’ consistent, employee-first culture – an accomplishment that is difficult to sustain year after year.

Ten years through real change is even harder. In that stretch, AGS doubled its employee count and office footprint, tripled its game studios, and expanded from two countries to ten.

The company looked different almost every year. The culture didn’t.

AGS was also awarded the same honor in the Atlanta market, which reflects the local impact, while the national honor acknowledges AGS’ broader commitment to culture across its U.S. footprint, which includes offices and game studios in Las Vegas, Reno, Scottsdale, Austin, and Oklahoma City.

The Metro Atlanta offices – home to many of the company’s R&D, engineering, and operations teams – continues to be a foundation of the Company’s innovation and culture.

Additionally, AGS supports a vast network of remote sales and field service employees located near customer operations throughout the country – extending the Company’s culture of connection and performance beyond physical offices. AGS also has a strong global presence with teams located in eight countries outside of the U.S.

This latest recognition follows AGS also being named to the 2026 USA TODAY Top Workplaces USA list for a second year in a row, solidifying its position as a standout employer in the gaming industry and beyond.
