Hacksaw Gaming Enters Into Sponsorship Agreement with AD Alcorcón
Hacksaw Gaming is excited to announce a sponsorship deal with Spanish football club AD Alcorcón.
Running throughout the 2022/23 football season, the agreement will see Hacksaw Gaming’s logo displayed on the team’s football shirts as well as advertising hoardings placed around the Municipal de Santo Domingo stadium, home of AD Alcorcón.
Designed to enhance brand exposure in the fast-growing Spanish market, the partnership is the first of its kind between Hacksaw Gaming and a professional sports team. Buoyed by another hugely successful year, Hacksaw Gaming has laid out ambitious plans for 2023 with strategic branding opportunities central to growth targets across a number of jurisdictions.
The company’s roster of games has been warmly received by players in Spain since launching last year and the sponsorship of AD Alcorcón aims to build on its strong market entry. Furthermore, the deal will provide an additional revenue stream for AD Alcorcón while helping to raise the team’s profile.
More announcements are expected in due course as Hacksaw Gaming looks to position itself for continued growth on the international stage.
Founded in 1971, AD Alcorcón plays in the Spanish Primera Federación division.
Fresh off the back of a hard-fought 1-0 win over FC Talavera on Saturday, February 11th, AD Alcorcón currently sit atop their division by two points over arch-rivals Real Madrid Castilla, the reserve team of one of the most successful teams of all-time, Real Madrid.
The club’s high point came on October 27, 2009, when they defeated a star-studded Real Madrid line-up containing no fewer than nine full international players 4-0 in the first leg of their round-of-32 Copa del Rey tie. It was the first time AD Alcorcón had faced opponents from Spain’s top footballing tier, going on to record a memorable 4-1 aggregate victory to etch their place in folklore.
Marcus Cordes, CEO of Hacksaw Gaming, said of the partnership: “We’re delighted to partner up with AD Alcorcón, an exciting team lighting up the Primera División RFEF.
“This deal will help us establish a rock-solid footing in the Spanish market as we embark upon further international expansion.
“AD Alcorcón are aligned with our own ambitious goals for success off the pitch, and we wish them the best of luck in their quest for promotion to LaLiga Smartbank!”
AD Alcorcón’s CEO, Ignacio Alvarez, was similarly enthused about the collaboration, adding: “We couldn’t be more excited to kick off a partnership with one of Spain’s brightest iGaming studios, adding to its already strong international presence.
“AD Alcorcón and Hacksaw Gaming are both hungry teams standing out in their game. With our partner’s support we look forward to living great moments this season and achieving ambitious goals.
“It is very important for us the feeling of mutual enthusiasm, positive energy and confidence that both partners are bringing to this collaboration. That shared commitment will make us do our best to ensure a very successful relationship.”

The anatomy of a high-performing iGaming platform: a guide from Slotegrator

Slotegrator, a gambling solutions provider and game aggregator, has released new downloadable material about the key components of a successful online casino platform. The guide includes practical checklists to help beginners set up platforms from scratch and experts enhance their projects.
In the iGaming industry, a project’s long-term success depends on the power and versatility of its platform. But that platform can’t be based on any old software; just like how you can’t have a car without four wheels and an engine, there are vital components to an online casino platform.
So what are they?
Let’s start with first impressions. The frontend is the “face” of a platform. Almost 75% of players judge a gambling website based on its appearance, and 88% of users won’t return after a negative experience.
Key frontend elements include:
- Branding (visitors should understand the idea from the first glance)
- Navigation (everything should be simple and easy to find)
- Transparency (players must have easy access to relevant information)
- Localization (adoption of language, currency and cultural norms).
If the frontend is the face, the backend is the brain. It should contain all the tools for successful online casino management. A quality backend should give the operator total, real-time monitoring and control over every aspect of a business — payment processing, regulatory compliance, game statistics, player data, retention strategies, analytics, compliance, player support, and everything else.
New operators often find themselves trying to choose whether to build such a platform in-house or to outsource the job. Slotegrator’s report carefully weighs the pros and cons of each option and reaches a clear conclusion: in-house development might save a little money in the short term, but it’ll cost much more in the long run.
“We created this guide to help operators to understand what truly belongs in a successful iGaming platform. An engaging frontend and a powerful backend are essential tools for attracting and retaining players. The guide is a valuable resource for evaluating a platform’s strengths and weaknesses and building a clear promotion strategy”, says Svetlana Kirichenko, Head of Marketing at Slotegrator.
Slotegrator’s guide also includes several key checklists:
- Essential frontend functions
- Key backend features
- Necessary modules for platform architecture (featuring a real example of Slotegrator’s turnkey online casino platform.

PAGCOR ORDERS TAKEDOWN OF GAMBLING BILLBOARDS

In a memorandum issued on July 7, PAGCOR directed all licensees, suppliers, system administrators, and gaming venue operators to take down gambling ad materials, including those displayed on trains, buses, jeepneys, and taxis.
The agency emphasized that only institutional or responsible gaming campaigns—subject to PAGCOR’s approval—will be permitted moving forward.
“We have given all our licensees and stakeholders until August 15 to completely remove all gambling-related ads,” said PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco.
“Prior to that, stakeholders must also submit an inventory of their existing billboard and wallscape advertisements by July 16.”
The inventory, according to Mr. Tengco, must include the size, material, location, rental contract expiration, and the corresponding permit number from the Ad Standards Council (ASC).
The PAGCOR chief said the move is part of the state gaming agency’s commitment to promote a safer and more responsible gaming environment in the country.
“While PAGCOR is mandated to regulate the gaming industry and generate revenues for nation-building, we do not want to encourage a culture of gambling addiction,” he said.
“Regulating excessive and pervasive gambling advertisements is a critical step in protecting vulnerable sectors of society, especially the youth.”
The agency also warned against replacing the dismantled advertisements with new gambling promotions, stressing that non-compliance will be dealt with accordingly.
