Bragg Brings Fuze™ Player Engagement to Sports Betting Sector

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Bragg Gaming Group has expanded its successful player engagement and gamification product Fuze™ to now be available on sportsbooks, offering operators a new way to enhance customer experience.

The Fuze™ toolset  – already available to customers of Bragg’s online casino content via its proprietary distribution platform – has now been extended to sports betting products, enabling operators to leverage event-driven betting demand with targeted gamified promotions which punters can track in real-time.

Using the toolset, operators running sports betting promotions could, for example, challenge punters to bet on the outcome of every soccer match in a World Cup group stage, with prizes for participants with the highest ratio of winning bets, all tracked live using Fuze™ leaderboards.

The highly-configurable Fuze™ sports betting promotions open up a huge range of options to help operators promote specific sporting events, allowing punters to compete with each other and boosting wagers.

Additional features to be introduced in the near future include predefined individual challenges with a prize for successful completion, or a journey of multiple challenges with different achievement mechanics in return for rewards.

The technology can also be used to set up and operate loyalty programs where jurisdictions allow, in which punters collect points when making wagers to use later in a rewards store. Campaigns are easily set up thanks to a user-friendly back-office and integration is possible with all major sportsbook engines.

Fuze™ has been available to Bragg’s online casino customers since its successful launch in 2021. Data based on previous active promotions showed that the numbers of online casino bets, game rounds and players almost tripled during Fuze™ campaigns.

Fuze™ marked its sportsbook debut with leading Dutch operator BetCity.nl last week, with other operators expected to roll out with the functionality in the coming weeks and months.

Peter Lavric, Chief Technology Officer at Bragg Gaming Group, said: “Fuze™ is a technologically perfected, modular and scalable product that allows for an agnostic sportsbook engine integration to service clients of any size.

“We have high hopes for this solution as it enables sports fans to enjoy actively competing with each other, rather than passively following the events they love. Our engagement tools take the experience that punters get from sports betting to a whole new level while for operators, Fuze™ significantly helps drive business performance. As an already proven product with our online casino customers, we are certain that Fuze™ will perform as well with sportsbooks as it does with the casino segment and strongly believe that gamification is the future of sportsbooks.”

Opti9 Listed as a Representative Vendor in 2022 Gartner Market Guide for Disaster Recovery as a Service

 

Opti9 Technologies LLC (Opti9), a trusted North American managed cloud services provider for hybrid cloud, security, and application modernization announces that it has been identified as a Representative Vendor in the Gartner Market Guide for Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) report. Gartner’s Market Guide for DRaaS provides insights for IT decision-makers into the DRaaS market, including key findings, market analysis, market direction, recommendations, and representative vendors.

Opti9 specializes in delivering managed cloud solutions to its clients, including disaster recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS)backups-as-a-service (BaaS)managed cloud services (hybrid cloudprivate cloud and AWS public cloud), application services, and more.

The threat of cyberattacks is ever-growing and cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated to ensure ransomware and other malicious activities are successful, making ransomware a pressing and ongoing concern for IT leaders. What’s even more concerning is that even if companies are taking initiative to protect their data by leveraging disaster recovery or backup software, this type of software has become a huge target for cybercriminals. Attackers are now specifically targeting organizations’ backup and disaster recovery tools so that they can destroy all local and remote disaster recovery and restore capabilities prior to an attack, increasing the likelihood of being paid the ransom. This is a fact that’s overlooked or misunderstood by many organizations, giving them a false sense of security related to their preparedness of dealing with such an incursion. Now more than ever, it’s essential for businesses to implement disaster recovery and backup strategies that will work when needed, and that will safeguard backup and DR tools from debilitating data loss and downtime brought on by ransomware.

Opti9 takes disaster recovery-as-a-service to the next level by providing built-in real-time ransomware detection with Observr. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, Observr detects anomalies in your disaster recovery environment that may be indicative of ransomware or other malicious activities. This means that any time there’s a change that’s out of the ordinary, such as changes to incremental backup and replica sizes, retention settings, encryptions settings, job modifications, deletions, and more, your organization will be notified and your disaster recovery infrastructure will be automatically air gapped to reduce the impact of the attack. Observr also provides real-time and historical threat & anomaly graphs and allows for full user control to configure real-time alerts, periodic reporting, remediation actions, and more via Opti9’s hybrid cloud management platform, OptiXdashboard.

“Organizations today are realizing their perceived preparedness to combat ransomware or other attacks, vs the reality of their prevention and recovery success is very different. As such, they’re looking to their trusted vendors to take more ownership of the entire process and provide additional assurances” said Sagi Brody, CTO of Opti9. “Utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect suspicious and anomalous activity within the backup/DR software is a great indicator that an attack is about to occur or already in progress. Our ability to air gap the offsite DR infrastructure, which cannot be protected by immutability, is unique in the industry and provides customers with protections not achievable by any other vendor,” Sagi emphasized. “I’m excited by our ability to address the emerging attack surface created by backup & DR tools which are actively being exploited by attackers today. Our customers are asking us to eventually own the entire cyber recovery process, and our fully managed DRaaS + our new Observr offering brings us one step closer to that.”

Exciting new darts competition launches with creation of the MODUS Super Series

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The MODUS Super Series, an exciting new darts competition featuring top international players including Fallon Sherrock, Martin Adams and Robert Thornton, will launch in the UK on Saturday (3 September, 2022).

Hosted at a top-spec, purpose-built location in Portsmouth with over £1m on offer to players per year, the MODUS Super Series will see more than 30 hours of streamed matches made available to mainstream bookmakers Monday to Saturday every week. With strategically timed content running Morning and Evening Sessions from 09:30 GMT and 22:00 GMT, the MODUS Super Series will offer perfectly timed content for bookmakers that does not clash with popular football timings or other major sporting events.

The MODUS Super Series has been created by events and management company MODUS. Founded in 1997, the management and events company represents many of the highest profile darts players in the world and host professional, premier events and exhibitions.

The MODUS Super Series have partnered with iGame Media in utilising their sophisticated technical delivery and broadcast capabilities to the market, supporting Ultra Low Latency streaming and broadcast grade quality content, by utilising our brand-new multi-camera footage supplied via 4k cameras to capture every moment and every throw in ultra-high definition as standard.

The MODUS Super Series is open to non-PDC (Professional Darts Corporation) Tour Card holders over the age of 18 and legends from the sport, with Lisa Ashton, Jarred Cole, Neil Duff, Kevin Painter, Mikuru Suzuki and Thibault Tricole among the other well-known names. The roster of commentators and presenters features Paul Nicholson, Mark Webster, Chris Mason, Chris Murphy and Abigail Davies.

Each week, 12 players compete in a series of group matches on Monday to Friday, with six qualifiers facing off in front of a live audience at Finals Night on each Saturday evening. After 13 weeks, the 12 previous weekly winners compete in Champions Week to be crowned the MODUS Super Series champion and receive a £20,000 champion’s cheque.

The subsequent Series then begins immediately from week one, ensuring participants benefit from a non-stop cycle of high-quality tournament play all year round.

“Darts is a sport with global appeal and a hugely passionate following,” said Billy Lovell of MODUS. “The addition of the MODUS Super Series to the calendar guarantees must-watch action as a far larger number of players will now feature regularly at the top level. They will also gain crucial experience in front of a TV and live audience, potentially earning prize money that could bridge the gap to going full-time pro.

“The MODUS Super Series’ addition to the betting calendar also ensures bookmakers will have access to first-rate darts content available six days a week, and with conveniently planned timings, it acts as the ideal complement to their traditional schedules.”

Fallon Sherrock added: “There is a real buzz among the players about the launch of the MODUS Super Series. It’s an amazing venue and the Series will increase competition among non-PDC Tour Card holders, bringing the chance to regularly play at a higher level for significant prize money.”

“iGame Media are delighted to collaborate on the MODUS Super Series in delivering sophisticated technical solutions to the sportsbook and broadcast space, allowing us to bring to market a truly agile and real time streaming and data solution,” said Chris Cousin, iGame Media Commercial Director.

The MODUS Super Series is a successor to the Online Darts Live League. Launched in 2020, it grew from a COVID-era, play-at-home darts tournament to a made-for-TV, studio-based competition that ran for two years.

VIZSLA SILVER ADVANCES ESG INITIATIVES AND PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE

 

Vizsla Silver Corp. (TSX-V: VZLA) (NYSE: VZLA) (Frankfurt: 0G3) (“Vizsla” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce continued progression on its environmental, social and governance (“ESG“) initiatives through a newly formed partnership with MetaVu and Blockhead Technologies who are creating a bespoke ESG reporting platform for all Inventa Capital companies. Vizsla Silver will be the first of the Inventa Capital companies to utilize the platform which is being designed to augment and enhance Vizsla’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of environmental stewardship, social responsibility and good governance practices. The ESG platform deployment for Vizsla is a step towards achieving Inventa Capital’s vision for Net Zero Mining through full scale integration of ESG performance throughout the mining asset lifecycle.

“Since day one, Vizsla has been committed to making ESG best practices a priority in everything we do,” stated Michael Konnert, CEO of Vizsla Silver. “Our newly formed partnership with leading industry experts MetaVu and Blockhead demonstrates our dedication to enhance and formalize our ESG practices which will put us on track to releasing Vizsla’s first Sustainability Report in the first half of 2023.”

Vizsla Silver is committed to responsible mining through:

  • Being trustworthy stewards of the local environment through mitigation of environmental impacts and seeking innovative solutions to leave the environment better than we found it;
  • Operating with accountability and transparency, including ongoing engagement with surrounding communities (“Ejidos“) and other stakeholders;
  • Supporting initiatives to provide long-term benefits to the surrounding Ejidos including well-paying employment opportunities, local infrastructure improvements, education opportunities and community enhancement initiatives; and,
  • Providing a safe, respectful, and healthy work environment for all of our employees.
Exemplary Safety at Panuco

Vizsla is proud to report its exemplary safety record at the Panuco Project, achieving no lost time incidents for a period of 560 consecutive days, consisting of 833 thousand work hours completed.

“This outstanding record demonstrates the importance that is placed on safety at the Panuco project,” commented Craig Parry, Chairman of Vizsla Silver. “Not only does it reflect the Company’s commitment to providing a safe work environment for our employees, but also demonstrates the incredible commitment to safety best practices by each and every one of the people that go to work at the Panuco Project. On behalf of the Board, I would like to commend the entire team on their tremendous dedication to making the work place a safe place every day.”

National Recognition of Sustainability Efforts

In August, Vizsla’s Mexican subsidiary, Minera CANAM, was awarded the Socially Responsible Company Distinction (ESR).  The Socially Responsible Company Distinction is Mexico’s highest corporate social responsibility recognition, awarded jointly by the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (CEMEFI) and the Foundation for Sustainability and Equity (ALIARSE). It is given to companies that are leaders in their sector for their commitment to integrating social and environmental values into their operations.

Commitment to Community

Through its commitment to transparent and continuous engagement, Vizsla has fostered strong relationships with the local Ejido communities. To date, Vizsla has signed 30-year exploitation agreements with three of the five local Ejidos, for the purpose of developing and extracting mineral resources at Panuco and with the goal of leaving a long-term positive legacy. Vizsla recognizes the importance of building a strong social license with surrounding communities and other stakeholders. The Company seeks to hire locally whenever possible, and ~70% of Vizsla’s current on-site workforce is comprised of members from the local community.

Corporate Update

At the Project, resource drilling continues with six drill rigs centered on expanding/upgrading maiden resources at Copala and Napoleon, while exploration drilling (three rigs) remains focused on testing high-priority satellite zones across the district. Vizsla has now completed 100,000 metres of new drilling since the March 2022 MRE, all of which will feed into a resource update by the end of Q4 2022.

The Company will be attending key investor conferences in the fall in order to meet with current shareholders and prospective investors to update them on the progress being made at Panuco, including:

  • Precious Metals Summit, Beaver Creek, Colorado (September 12-16)
  • Denver Gold Forum, Colorado Springs, Colorado (September 18-21)
  • New Orleans Investment Conference (October 12-16)

IFA 2022 – the world’s leading trade show for consumer electronics returns to Berlin in its full glory

 

The IFA in Berlin, the world’s leading trade show for consumer electronics and home appliances, is set to return to the capital in its full glory from 2 to 6 September 2022 for the first time after a two-year hiatus.

Global brands will be showcasing their latest products and innovations from the fields of consumer electronics and home appliances.

Journalists from all four corners of the world will report on innovations, trends and highlights. Smart household devices, in particular, will be taking the spotlight. This is because modern living has shifted our values regarding our own homes, with sovereignty over our time and quality of life increasingly at the fore. For instance, our fridges can be opened via voice command and our ovens can react to our personal preferences thanks to smart sensors.

Another on-trend topic is sustainability. This isn’t just about low-CO2 manufacturing methods or materials that consume fewer resources: products also need to be energy-saving and efficient. Of course, smart homes need connectivity in order to work – and artificial intelligence and robotics represent other key advancements that are on the way to revolutionising day-to-day technology.

IFA NEXT has grown to become a successful innovation platform for start-ups, where innovative companies and research institutions come together to present their ideas for the markets of the future. Here, too, the focus is on topics such as improving the environmental footprint of home appliances, whether through interchangeable components or recyclability.

SHIFT mobility focuses on designing the mobility of the future. Scientists, company representatives and start-ups discuss ground-breaking technologies, business models and products, exploring innovation and sustainability as key drivers of this transformation.

The trade show’s media partner TVT.media provides journalists with extensive video material for reporting on IFA 2022. The Global Broadcast Centre is home to highlights from the trade show, alongside interviews with exhibitors and sector experts.
