SCCG Management Partners with Beyond Bancard to Bring Full-Service Payment Processing to the Global Gambling Industry
SCCG Management, a global advisory firm specializing in the gambling and sports entertainment industries, has announced a strategic partnership with Beyond Bancard, a full-service payment processing company headquartered in Orange, California. The partnership positions SCCG as Beyond Bancard’s market representation and business development channel into the gaming, sports betting, tribal gaming, and regulated entertainment sectors.
Beyond Bancard provides credit and debit card processing, POS systems, payment gateways, and merchant services to businesses across retail, e-commerce, live events, hospitality, B2B, and high-compliance verticals. The company serves thousands of merchants nationwide and holds PCI Level 1 compliance, the highest standard for payment security and has built a reputation for solving complex payment challenges in markets where compliance, scalability, and reliability are critical.
Under the partnership, SCCG will deploy its commercial network, media footprint, and industry relationships to identify, qualify, and introduce gaming and entertainment operators to Beyond Bancard’s payment processing platform. Target verticals include tribal casino operators, commercial casino groups, online gambling operators covering sports betting, online lottery, and online casino, sweepstakes platforms, sports entertainment companies, and other regulated-industry merchants that require compliant payment infrastructure.
“Payment processing is the connective tissue of every gaming operation, and most operators are underserved when it comes to finding processors who understand the compliance requirements of this industry. Beyond Bancard brings a mature infrastructure, a strong compliance posture, and real experience working with high-volume merchants. That is exactly the kind of partner our network needs.”
Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO, SCCG Management
SCCG’s engagement with Beyond Bancard spans four service areas: industry network access and lead generation, marketing and content distribution, event sponsorship and activation, and strategic advisory on market positioning within the gaming vertical. Beyond Bancard will be featured across SCCG’s marketing channels, including the SCCG Weekly Newsletter, which reaches over 26,000 gambling industry professionals, LinkedIn amplification through Stephen Crystal’s professional network, and targeted thought-leadership content.
Beyond Bancard will also participate as a named sponsor of SCCG’s 5th Annual G2E Party on September 29, 2026 at Tom’s Watch Bar in Las Vegas, providing branding visibility and direct networking access to SCCG’s invite list of gaming industry executives and decision-makers.
“The gaming industry requires payment partners that understand far more than transaction processing. Operators need scalable infrastructure, strong banking relationships, sophisticated risk management, seamless pay-in and payout capabilities, and a deep understanding of regulatory compliance. SCCG has built one of the most respected networks in gaming, and we’re excited to partner with their team to bring our payment solutions to operators around the world. Together, we believe we can help gaming businesses navigate complexity, optimize payment performance, and unlock new growth opportunities.”
Jimmy Virk, Chief Executive Officer, Beyond Bancard
The partnership reflects a growing need among gaming operators for payment processing partners who can navigate the compliance, risk management, and regulatory demands of the gambling industry. Beyond Bancard’s experience across high-compliance verticals, combined with SCCG’s established operator network and market intelligence, creates a direct commercial pathway between operators seeking compliant payment infrastructure and a proven processing partner.

Tonybet player in Canada claims $20,000 CAD golden World Cup card prize
Tonybet says a player in Laurier-Station, Canada has claimed the “golden card” prize worth $20,000 CAD in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection. The announcement was made Tuesday 21st July 2026.
The World Cup collection featured 51 cards in total, including 48 digital cards representing participating World Cup nations, plus three unique prize cards in bronze, silver and gold. Tonybet said the bronze card—available during the group stage—was previously found by a customer in Saint-Colomban, Canada, while the silver card—available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals—was won by a player in County Kildare, Ireland.
The golden card became available for the semi-final, third-place play-off and final, and has now been claimed, Tonybet said.
Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “You can plan a campaign down to the last detail, but you can’t plan what the World Cup brings.
“We designed the collection to evolve with the tournament, and every knockout round created new stories we couldn’t have predicted. Seeing players complete their collections and discovering who would uncover each prize was the most rewarding part of the campaign.
“I hope everyone enjoyed the experience for what it was meant to be: a fun addition to the tournament, played responsibly and always within their limits.”
Tonybet said the collection will remain open until 31 July for players who are still completing sets and spending coins, although all grand prizes have been awarded.

SCCG Management and Trivver Partner to Transform Gaming with AI-Powered Interactive Commerce
SCCG Management has entered a strategic partnership with Trivver, Inc., a spatial AI technology company holding more than 165 global patents, to bring measurable AI-powered commerce experiences to gaming operators, casinos, sportsbooks, and entertainment brands.
SCCG Management, an advisory and consultancy firm serving publicly traded and privately held corporations across the global gaming, betting, and prediction markets sectors, today announced a new strategic partnership with Trivver, Inc., a spatial AI technology company based in Hideout, Utah. The partnership brings Trivver’s patented AI-powered Smart Objects into SCCG’s network of gaming operators, platform providers, and sports and entertainment brands.
Trivver holds more than 165 global patents covering spatial AI, immersive environment monetization, and viewability measurement, with technology that deploys across web, mobile, and smart glasses platforms without requiring an app download. Trivver enables gaming operators and brands to transform digital environments into measurable, interactive commerce experiences where every product, sponsorship, or promotion becomes intelligent, personalized, and directly shoppable. The company’s work includes a virtual banking experience built for JPMorgan Chase and, most recently, the June 11, 2026 launch of its PlayCanvas SDK on Google Cloud Marketplace, Trivver’s first commercial deployment of in-game advertising infrastructure, announced with supporting statements from Jack Buser, global director for Games, Strategic Industries at Google Cloud, and Will Eastcott, CEO and co-founder of PlayCanvas. The SDK lets developers building on the PlayCanvas engine deploy interactive in-world brand experiences inside browser-based games, personalized in real time using Google’s Gemini models, with Unreal Engine and Unity support in development. Its platform is designed to turn any product, brand asset, or advertising unit into an interactive 3D object inside an immersive environment, with built-in measurement of viewability and engagement aligned with IAB and MRC ad-measurement standards.
Trivver’s environments can be launched through a URL, QR code, or link, with inventory swapped in seconds without changing the destination address, and each smart object carries its own engagement data on screen coverage and dwell time. That data layer is what SCCG sees as the differentiator for gaming and entertainment use cases: an operator or rights holder can measure exactly how an audience engages with a branded 3D object inside a live casino stream, a fan-engagement environment, or a venue activation, not just whether it was displayed.
Under the partnership, SCCG will provide Trivver with strategic and regulatory advisory across gaming verticals, commercial introductions to operators and platform partners across its network, support for Trivver’s expansion into new international markets, and introductions to potential strategic partners and acquirers. The engagement will prioritize verticals where Trivver’s technology has direct application, including live casino, fan engagement and sports entertainment, music, and automotive. The fit runs in both directions: Trivver’s own positioning for its Enterprise AI Commerce Platform names Gaming, Casinos & Sports Betting as one of ten target verticals the platform serves.
“Trivver is exactly the kind of category-defining technology partner our network looks for. They hold more than 165 global patents, they just launched their PlayCanvas SDK on Google Cloud Marketplace, and their own platform already names gaming, casinos, and sports betting as a core vertical. Live casino, fan engagement, and immersive entertainment all have unused digital real estate, and Trivver’s spatial AI is built to monetize exactly that space, with measurement built to IAB and MRC standards.”
Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO, SCCG Management
SCCG will draw on its established network of more than 100 partners across sportsbook operators, iGaming platforms, content studios, live casino providers, and B2B technology vendors to identify and support introductions for Trivver, alongside representation at major international gaming events including G2E Las Vegas, ICE London, and SBC events.
“Gaming has become one of the world’s largest digital commerce platforms. Together with SCCG we’re giving operators, brands, and entertainment companies a new way to engage audiences through AI-powered experiences that can be measured, personalized, and monetized in real time.”
Joel LaMontagne, Chief Executive Officer, Trivver, Inc.
The partnership adds to SCCG’s growing roster of technology partners bringing new categories of immersive, measurable digital experiences into the gaming and entertainment industry, and reflects the continued convergence of physical and digital engagement across live casino, sports, music, and automotive audiences. SCCG will begin with a market assessment and gaming-vertical analysis of Trivver’s technology, followed by initial introductions to qualified operators and platform providers across its network, with distribution and advisory support continuing throughout the engagement.
