GiG Software Plc (GiG) has announced the appointment of former DraftKings Commercial Director Andy Evers as its new Senior Vice President of Commercial, reinforcing its commitment to delivering best-in-class service and operational excellence to its growing network of partners.
As GiG continues to scale its commercial capabilities in response to a strong pipeline of new partnerships, the appointment of Evers underscores the company’s strategic focus on deepening relationships with its clients and ensuring exceptional service delivery. Evers will take ownership of GiG’s Commercial, Account Management, and Managed Services teams, as the company looks to leverage his expertise, helping in further aligning GiG’s operational infrastructure with the needs of its expanding partner network, ensuring seamless execution and growth.
With over a decade of experience in the B2B iGaming sector, including leadership roles at Betgenius and DraftKings, Evers brings a wealth of expertise in sportsbook and platform solutions. His proven track record in fostering high-value partnerships across regulated markets in the US, Asia, and Europe will be invaluable in driving GiG’s commercial strategy forward.
GiG’s Managed Services plays a critical role in supporting some of the world’s leading operators, including Tier 1 brands like Betsson Group. By combining expert operational oversight with state-of-the-art technology, GiG is one of a very limited number of proprietary technology providers that are able to offer partners with end-to-end solutions, covering everything from customer support and risk management to compliance and business intelligence.
As GiG continues to expand its footprint globally, Evers will play a pivotal role in driving operational excellence, enhancing partner success, and ensuring that GiG remains a leader in providing innovative, market-leading solutions to operators worldwide.
James Coxon, COO at GiG, said: “Andy’s arrival provides a fantastic boost to the business at a pivotal time.

Andy Evers, SVP Commercial at GiG, said: “I’ve been incredibly impressed by the vision and strategy that GiG’s executive management team has implemented, as well as the immense potential for significant growth and expansion within the business. Having worked with some of the executive team closely during my time at DraftKings, I’ve seen firsthand the high standards they uphold and I look forward to the challenge of helping scale its operational and commercial capabilities during what promises to be a truly exciting period ahead. ”

A 39-year-old South African expat, Branden Tekram, has won AED 5 million in The UAE Lottery’s Lucky Day draw, according to the operator. The company said the win marks “the first time the second prize has been won on a Wednesday draw since its recent introduction.”
Tekram said he discovered the result while checking email. “It’s still overwhelming and unbelievable. I don’t know how to explain it. I mean, I’m a millionaire in Dubai,” he said. He added that he told his wife at home and they “sat there in disbelief.”
The winner said the family plans to take a staged approach to using the money, including funding a prototype linked to a patent application his wife is working on, and potentially moving into a villa. He also said the win could help them access additional support for their son.
The operator said it has awarded more than AED 300 million in prizes to more than 340,000 winners across its portfolio, including Lucky Day, Scratch Cards, and E-Instants. Lucky Day draws run every Wednesday and Saturday, with prizes including the AED 30 million grand prize and AED 5 million second prize. The company said all games are regulated by the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA).

Spinomenal has released The Desperado Drifter Hold & Hit 3×3, the latest addition to its Hold & Hit portfolio.
The Western-themed slot uses a 3×3 bonus grid and features a Wild symbol (a bag of gems) that substitutes for all symbols except Bonus and Bonus Collect. Bonus coins land on reels one and three, while the Bonus Collect coin lands on reel two.
When Bonus Collect lands alongside one or more Bonus symbols, the game triggers an Instant Win Feature that collects the values and adds them directly to the player’s balance. The same symbol combination also starts the Bonus Game, with triggering symbols locked in place and three spins awarded initially.
During the Bonus Game, only Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols can appear. Spins can apply multipliers of x1, x2, x5, x7, x10 and x15, and the feature includes jackpots set at Mini (x25 total bet), Minor (x50 total bet), Major (x150 total bet) and Grand (x5,000 total bet) for filling all nine positions. The spin counter resets each time a new symbol lands.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya, commented: “The Desperado Drifter Hold & Hit 3×3 gives players the chance to join a high-stakes Wild West adventure. Smart visuals, nail-biting gameplay and a four-tier jackpot peaking at x5,000 make this a title that will keep players coming back for more.”
