Play’n GO Music announces release of Quantum Rush Visualizer
Visualizer created to represent hit release Quantum Rush and to celebrate a year of collaboration between Play’n GO Music and MoneyGram Haas F1 Team
Play’n GO Music, the music division of the world’s leading casino entertainment provider Play’n GO, has today announced the release of its Quantum Rush Visualizer, in the wake of a successful 12-month collaboration between the brand and MoneyGram Haas F1 Team.
Earlier this year, Play’n GO Music set out to explore how music can fuel sport, using its sponsorship of MoneyGram Haas F1 Team as an inspiration. To motivate both fans and team members alike, hit single Quantum Rush was created, to be used as a pump-up track on race weekends, with the Visualizer serving as a summary of the year-long collaboration. Throughout the year, Play’n GO Music and MoneyGram Haas F1 Team have collaborated on a series of initiatives to connect the team with their fans through a series of playlists designed by MoneyGram Haas F1 Team members; Ayao’s Anthems, Hulkenberg’s Hits, Magnussen’s Mix, the Haas Tracklist, and the Fan Fueled Favs playlist, chosen exclusively by fans for the motorsport team.
Play’n GO became a sponsor of MoneyGram Haas F1 Team in November 2023 and has remained a steadfast partner of the team throughout the 2024 season.
Ebba Arnred, CMO and Co-Founder at Play’n GO, said “The collaboration between Play’n GO Music and MoneyGram Haas F1 Team has been a creative and enjoyable initiative, showcasing a fresh approach to engaging with our audience. Pivoting from the world of online casino to the music industry was a bold leap, and mixing in the high-octane world of motorsport has proven to be a game changer. Watching Ayao, Nico, Kevin, and the entire MoneyGram Haas F1 Team craft their own playlists earlier this year brought the worlds of gaming, music, and motorsport together in an unprecedented way. The release of Quantum Rush in August was the crowning achievement of an incredible year, and the Quantum Rush Visualizer adds another electrifying layer to this partnership for fans to enjoy. This partnership has created new boundaries for what is possible as an iGaming brand; we’re already gearing up for even bigger things in 2025.”
Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal at MoneyGram Haas F1 Team added “Working with a music brand is certainly a new one for our team, but we’ve all had great fun collaborating with Play’n GO Music this year. On a personal level, I appreciated the opportunity to share my musical tastes with our fans, and I can speak for the entire team here when I say they enjoyed the chance to contribute also. We’re already looking forward to getting back on track in 2025, and to continuing our partnership with Play’n GO.”

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus
DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.
The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.
If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.
Google-style campus for game development talents
The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.
It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.
“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.
What does this mean for the market?
Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.
If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.
And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.
OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.
“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.
