Compete against former world champ poker legend Chris Moneymaker heads-up
As the countdown to the Main Event of Vegas’ hottest summer series begins, ACR Poker is offering poker players the chance to win a “money-can’t-buy” Moneymaker Vegas Experience this July, including a two-week stay in Vegas.
Starting this weekend, ACR Poker players can qualify for a chance to win a heads-up battle with poker legend Chris Moneymaker. After battling each other through various qualifying rounds, two players will each compete against Moneymaker for the opportunity to win a 14-night luxury stay in Las Vegas, $10K buy-in to a Main Event, and an exclusive itinerary of activities around Las Vegas, immersing them in a unique VIP atmosphere.
ACR Poker players can join one of four $8.60 buy-in multi-table tournaments (MTTs) on June 8th, 9th, 15th and 16th (all at 3pm ET) for a chance to win. The top two winners from each MTT will advance to a final 8-handed Sit & Go on Monday, June 17th at 3pm ET. The top two finishers in the Sit & Go final will then face ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker in online heads-up battles on Tuesday, June 18th, playing a best of three.
For poker players looking to witness the action, the epic heads-up matches will be live-streamed on ACR’s Twitch channel. Whoever beats Moneymaker will win an incredible prize package, which includes a round-trip flight, luxury accommodation from July 1st-14th, $10,000 entry to the prestigious Vegas Main Event, entry to an exclusive ACR Pros Meet-up event, plus a unique opportunity to spend time with Moneymaker in Las Vegas.
“This is a great opportunity for poker players to step up their game and experience the thrill of playing in Las Vegas,” said Moneymaker. “I’m looking forward to welcoming the winners to Sin City and giving them a glimpse into life as an ACR Pro. I’m also excited to see who has what it takes to beat me in a heads-up battle!”
The Moneymaker Vegas Experience promotion gives poker players the chance to learn from one of the best in the game. Moneymaker has been on a recent hot streak, finishing in 6th place in ACR Poker’s $12.5 Million GTD Venom tourney, bagging $382,007. He followed that up with a magical win at Event #1 (GG Million$ Live) at the Triton Super High Roller Series in Montenegro, earning $903,000.
Moneymaker also noted that ACR Poker is offering players further opportunities to secure their spot in the Vegas Main Event through a variety of satellite tournaments running throughout June.

BC.GAME has partnered with sportsbook supplier BETBY, bringing the supplier into BC Engine, the platform’s rewards and participation model powered by its native $BC token.
BC Engine launched in April and is positioned by BC.GAME as a mechanism that links platform-generated profits and activity to ongoing rewards for $BC holders. Under the model, players earn $BC by playing casino games on BC.GAME, with tokens allocated and staked in BC Engine. Rewards are then distributed based on users’ holdings.
BC.GAME said stakers have earned more than $2.5 million in rewards since launch. The company also cited on-platform data showing more than $74.3 million in total wager and over 5.8 million bets.
Kar Kheng Giam, Chief Executive Officer of BC.GAME, said: “Our vision for BC Engine has always been to create a model where platform growth and player participation are more closely aligned.
“The addition of BETBY is significant because it demonstrates how the ecosystem can continue to expand through strategic partnerships. Every new contributor helps strengthen the engine, creating additional utility for $BC and reinforcing the long-term sustainability of the model.
“As we continue to grow the network, our focus remains on delivering a simpler and more transparent rewards experience that allows players to participate more directly in the success of the ecosystem.”
Christos Nikolopoulos, Chief Commercial Officer at BETBY, said: “We’re pleased to become part of the BC Engine ecosystem and support an initiative that brings a different approach to player engagement.”
“At BETBY, innovation has always been at the heart of our business, and BC Engine represents an interesting evolution in how gaming platforms can connect product performance, community participation and rewards. We look forward to contributing to its continued growth.”
BC.GAME said the BETBY deal is part of a wider push to expand $BC utility and add more ecosystem partners contributing to BC Engine. The company also pointed to recent international expansion, including moves in Africa via Nigeria and Kenya, alongside initiatives in Latin America.

Bringing Branded Mobile Services to Casinos, Sportsbooks, Sports Franchises, and Prediction Market Operators Nationwide
SCCG Management, a global advisory firm specializing in the gambling and sports entertainment industries, today announced a strategic partnership with Bumble Mobile, Inc. to bring white-label wireless solutions to casinos, sportsbooks, sports franchises, prediction market operators, and affinity brands across the global gambling industry. The partnership positions SCCG as Bumble Mobile’s market representation channel into the gaming and entertainment sectors.
Bumble Mobile operates as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) with partnerships across major U.S. carrier 5G networks and satellite connectivity. The company enables organizations to launch fully branded wireless services, including mobile plans, home internet, and device warranty programs, without any infrastructure investment, regulatory burden, or customer service overhead. Bumble Mobile handles all compliance, billing, and customer care as the carrier of record, allowing brand partners to focus entirely on marketing and fan engagement.
The white-label wireless model has already gained significant traction globally. More than 25 sports brand MVNOs have launched successfully worldwide, including programs with FC Barcelona, Red Bull, Bayern Munich, Fenerbahce, and Celtic FC. Year one revenues for these programs have typically ranged from $4 million to $11 million, driven by strong initial adoption, low marketing spend relative to subscriber revenue, and approximately 30% lower churn than standard carrier plans.
“Bumble Mobile gives every casino, team, and operator the ability to put their brand in the customer’s pocket 24/7. That changes the relationship entirely,” said Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “We see wireless as one of the most under-explored revenue and engagement channels in the gambling industry, and Bumble Mobile has the infrastructure, the carrier relationships, and the global proof points to deliver it at scale.”
Under the partnership, SCCG will deploy its commercial network, media footprint, and industry relationships to identify, qualify, and introduce brand customer prospects to Bumble Mobile across several target verticals, including tribal casino operators, commercial casino groups, online gambling operators covering sports betting, online lottery, and online casino, sports leagues and franchises, prediction market platforms, retailers with established loyalty programs, and other affinity brands with customer bases exceeding 25,000 end users.
Beyond connectivity, the partnership unlocks a significant data advantage for operators. Bumble Mobile’s platform captures first-party subscriber data from both carrier networks and satellite sources, delivering substantially greater data volume than standard carrier sources alone. Combined with behavioral insights generated across the company’s ecosystem of over 15,000 apps worldwide, this creates a personalization and player development layer that no social media channel or email marketing campaign can replicate. For casinos and sportsbooks focused on lifetime value and player retention, this data capability represents a material competitive edge.
Bumble Mobile also offers fixed wireless internet solutions for both commercial and residential use, along with in-house credit card processing capabilities spanning standard and high-risk verticals. These additional services create further revenue and bundling opportunities for gaming and entertainment brand partners.
SCCG’s marketing support for Bumble Mobile will include features across the SCCG Weekly Newsletter, which reaches over 26,000 gambling industry professionals, targeted articles with SEO backlinks, LinkedIn amplification, dedicated email campaigns, co-branded webinars, and conference visibility at major industry events including G2E Las Vegas, ICE, SBC, NIGA/IGA, and SiGMA Americas.
Matthew Kincaid, CEO of Bumble Mobile, added, “We built this platform so that any brand with a loyal audience can offer wireless as a service. SCCG’s network and credibility in the gambling industry gives us the fastest possible path to the operators and franchises that will benefit most from this model.”

Stake on Monday, 8 June 2026 released its 2026 global football tournament hero video, starring brand ambassadors Sergio Aguero, Patrice Evra, Iker Casillas and Eden Hazard. The ‘It’s All At Stake’ creative is running across YouTube, Instagram and X, with the major tournament a week away.
The video places the four ex-players in short scenes built around football culture. Casillas is shown grabbing the attention of a fellow nightclub guest, Aguero helps a player off the deck in a five-a-side game, Hazard plays a coach, and Evra appears in a tattoo parlour where he inks a customer with the slogan “I love this game”.
Stake said the campaign is part of its wider tournament activity, with ambassadors positioned at the centre of its marketing around the event. The company said the creative is designed to capture the “highs and lows experienced by fans throughout the competition” and includes “humour, nostalgia and the personalities” of the four players.
Stake Director, Jarrod Febbraio said: “The 2026 global football tournament is one of the few sporting events that genuinely captures the attention of fans across every corner of the globe. We wanted to create a campaign that reflects the excitement, anticipation and passion that supporters feel throughout the competition while also bringing together some of football’s most iconic personalities.
“Having Sergio Aguero, Iker Casillas, Eden Hazard and Patrice Evra involved gave us the opportunity to create something entertaining, relatable and unmistakably football. The result is a campaign that celebrates the moments, emotions and conversations that make moments like this such a unique cultural occasion.
“At Stake, we aim to put our millions of customers at the heart of sport’s biggest moments. Whether fans are watching from the stands, at home or with friends, this campaign reinforces what it’s like when it’s all at Stake.”
The company also reiterated its position on responsible gambling, stating it is “committed to ensuring that our customers are educated on our various responsible gambling tools available for use”.
