Betandyou is proud to announce its support for Legends Charity Game, a spectacular charity football match taking place at the iconic José Alvalade Stadium, bringing together over 50,000 fans in the stands and millions more watching online and on TV across the globe.

This is more than just a match, it’s a historic meeting of football legends. The pitch will host some of the greatest names in football history, including Kaká, Roberto Carlos, Carles Puyol, Del Piero, John Terry, Michael Owen, Petr Čech, and many others. Led by Peter Schmeichel and Diego Lugano, the World Legends will face the Portugal Legends, delivering a once-in-a-lifetime football spectacle.

But the true goal is charity. The event aims to raise over €1,000,000 to support children and families in Ukraine, Portugal, and around the world. Every goal scored, every cheer from the stands, and every contribution will help transform lives.

As a proud donor of the tournament, Winandyou contributed €10000, reinforcing its commitment to unity, support, and social responsibility. For us, it is not only about creating opportunities within the betting and affiliate industry, but also about making a meaningful difference where it matters most.

“We are proud to support such a significant event. The Legends Charity Game brings millions of people together and proves that sport has the power to change the world. For Betandyou, this is a chance to contribute to a greater cause and support those in need,” CEO of the company stated.

The Legends Charity Game is more than football. It’s a game where legends of the past help shape a brighter future.

The iGaming industry is one of the fastest-changing landscapes in the world. New technologies, shifting regulations, and evolving player expectations create both challenges and enormous opportunities. In this environment, only those who dare to innovate, adapt, and partner wisely are able to thrive.

One company that embodies this journey is Stellar Bets — an ambitious software provider that began in Africa and is now preparing to reshape the future of retail betting in Europe. Our story is not just about creating games. It’s about building a complete ecosystem for operators, affiliates, and entrepreneurs — and opening doors for long-term partnerships across continents.

🌍 Humble Beginnings, Bold Vision

When we entered the African market, the industry was already crowded with solutions. Many thought there was little room left for innovation. But we believed otherwise.

From the start, we knew the secret to success wasn’t just about building games — it was about designing ecosystems. Operators needed more than entertainment; they needed reliable tools, sustainable margins, and technology that would support them in real conditions — including low internet speeds, limited hardware, and highly competitive retail environments.

Our first big step was the launch of Stellar Rocket, a crash game that quickly captured the imagination of African players. With stunning visuals, a dynamic multiplier, and an innovative balance between player wins and operator profitability, it became much more than just a game — it became a movement.

Within months, betting shops from Nigeria to Kenya were reporting higher engagement, stronger retention, and more stable revenue. The success of Stellar Rocket proved that innovation could transform even the most traditional retail setups.

📈 Growth Backed by Numbers

Success stories are powerful, but in iGaming the numbers matter most.

• In 2024–2025, Stellar Bets expanded into more than 15 African countries.
• Successfully achieved the ideal balance between player satisfaction and operator profitability with our Next-Gen RTP System.
• Operators reported 30–45% revenue growth after integrating our solutions.

This growth wasn’t accidental. It came from a deep commitment to R&D, continuous improvement, and a philosophy that sees technology as a service to both operators and players.

And here’s the key: we didn’t just help operators earn more — we also made sure players enjoyed fairer, more exciting experiences. In a market where achieving both can be challenging, this balance clearly sets Stellar Bets apart.

🎮 Beyond Games: Building an Ecosystem

The heart of Stellar Bets has always been innovation, but we quickly realized that individual games are not enough. Operators need comprehensive solutions to scale their business.

That’s why we built an ecosystem:

• Stellar Box — a plug-and-play solution that allows operators to deploy instantly.
• Stellar Kiosk — an all-in-one machine with built-in computer and receipt printer.
• Cloud-based admin tools — for user management, analytics, and cashier control.
• Proprietary hardware — designed for stable operation even in areas with low bandwidth.
• AI-powered RTP engine — balancing fairness for players and profits for operators.

And perhaps the most groundbreaking innovation of all — HomePlay.

📱 HomePlay: Bridging Offline and Online

Retail betting shops are still the heartbeat of many markets. But until recently, their biggest limitation was the number of physical terminals. Only so many customers could play at the same time.

With HomePlay, we changed that forever.

This breakthrough technology transforms every smartphone inside a betting shop into a personal gaming station. Customers join live Stellar Rocket sessions using their own devices, while the cashier desk continues to handle all deposits and withdrawals.

✅ No waiting lines.
✅ No need for extra hardware.
✅ Every customer becomes an active participant.
✅ Revenue per square meter grows exponentially.

In essence, HomePlay gave new life to retail betting, transforming it from a simple place to play into a vibrant community where thousands of players share emotions and experiences — while providing operators with a scalable, compliant, and seamlessly integrated tool.

For many partners, this feature alone was a game-changer — and it’s one of the clearest examples of how Stellar Bets delivers innovation designed for real-world business impact.

💡 The Secret Behind Our Success

One question we often get is: how can a startup compete with legacy companies in the iGaming space?

The answer is simple — being a startup is our biggest advantage.

🔹 Agility over bureaucracy — We test, pivot, and bring innovations to market quickly, while larger companies get stuck in long decision-making cycles.
🔹 Innovation in our DNA — We don’t just rely on proven models. We experiment, take risks, and introduce features that others are too slow to try.
🔹 Closer to the player — Our teams listen, analyze, and adapt in real time, creating products that reflect what players actually want.
🔹 Growth mindset — Every market matters. Every operator matters. Every affiliate matters. For us, every partnership is a chance to grow together.

🔹 Constant rapid development — We continuously expand our product portfolio, scale operations, and evolve to meet the needs of new markets.

But above all, we recognize the importance of technological excellence — investing in R&D, proprietary hardware, and resilient software that deliver security, stability, and reliability for both operators and players. It’s this mindset that has powered Stellar Bets from a small startup into one of the most recognized software providers in Africa.

🤝 Reshaping the Future of iGaming Together

After building a strong foundation across Africa, we are now preparing for the next chapter — entering the European market. We see great potential in several EU countries where many operators still depend on outdated systems and solutions.

Our goal is not just to expand, but to bring real value: technology that has proven itself in highly competitive retail environments, tools that balance innovation with compliance, and products that boost both player satisfaction and operator revenue.

For us, Europe is an opportunity to share what we’ve learned, adapt to new contexts, and grow together with forward-looking partners who are ready for benefit from:

✅ A personal account manager.
✅ 24/7 technical support.
✅ Access to a constantly evolving ecosystem.

We know our success depends on the success of our partners. That’s why we treat every collaboration as a joint venture — where both sides grow together.

And here’s our invitation: if you are looking for an iGaming software partner who delivers not just games, but full-scale solutions designed for growth — Stellar Bets is ready to work with you. Let’s reshape the future of iGaming — together.

Phishing has once again proven to be the leading cyber threat in 2025. In Q1 alone, the APWG logged 1,003,924 phishing attacks, the highest number since late 2023. Compared to 2023, weekly phishing volumes have jumped 180%, while the use of infostealers distributed through phishing emails rose by 84% in 2024.

The takeaway is clear: phishing is no longer a background issue. It’s a direct path to credential theft, account compromise, and business disruption. Atlaslive’s Information Security Lead, Maksym Shapoval, shares why phishing attacks remain so damaging and what companies can do to defend against them.

Phishing in 2025: The Persistent Threat

Phishing works because it’s simple. Attackers impersonate trusted sources to trick victims into giving away passwords, card details, or personal data. These campaigns now arrive through email, SMS (“smishing”), and even voice calls (“vishing”), and many are indistinguishable from legitimate corporate messages.

Major Incidents This Summer

Recent events illustrate phishing’s reach:

Advertisement

• Google — A phishing chain starting with Salesforce CRM led to data exposure.
• Cisco — Hit by voice phishing that gave attackers access to client data.
• Booking — Targeted by ongoing campaigns since late 2024.
• UK Tax Authority — £47 million lost, with 100,000 people affected.

These cases show that no sector is immune. Phishing remains the universal entry point for cybercrime.

iGaming in the Spotlight

The iGaming industry, already under strict regulation, faced its own high-profile breach in July 2025. One of the largest global betting groups confirmed a cyberattack that exposed 800,000 user records—including IP addresses, emails, and activity logs.

“The incident underscores why iGaming platforms are prime targets,” says Maksym Shapoval, Information Security Lead at Atlaslive. “They operate entirely online, process constant financial transactions, and handle vast volumes of personal data. The risks of social engineering attacks in this industry are significant.”

For operators, phishing protection must be built into platform security, staff awareness, and incident response. Even without stolen payment details, personal information alone can trigger damaging follow-up attacks.

How Businesses Can Defend Themselves: Tips from Atlaslive

Phishing exploits people as much as technology. A strong defense requires multiple layers:

• Authentication and Access Control — Enforce 2FA, limit privileges, use network segmentation, require dual approval for sensitive operations, and run regular audits.
• Email and Domain Security — Deploy DMARC, DKIM, and SPF; monitor lookalike domains; flag external emails.
• Endpoint Protection — Secure devices with MDM/EDR tools, monitor browsing activity.
• Incident Preparedness — Centralize reporting, define clear runbooks, notify staff quickly, and block malicious senders system-wide.
• Awareness and Training — Regular staff training, phishing simulations, and a culture of quick reporting.
• Governance — Make phishing defense a permanent part of company policy and audit it continuously.

Small, consistent measures across these areas drastically reduce both the chance of a successful phishing attack and the damage it can cause.

Conclusion

The summer of 2025 confirmed that phishing is still the launchpad for many of the world’s most serious cyber incidents — from global tech firms to public institutions and iGaming platforms. These attacks are growing sharper, more targeted, and more damaging.

For companies handling sensitive data and transactions, security cannot be treated as optional. Defending against phishing requires layered authentication, email controls, endpoint protection, training, and response plans. The businesses that prioritize resilience today will be the ones best equipped to safeguard their customers, their reputation, and their future.
