Industry Challenges

Scalability and Reducing CapEx and OpEx Costs

Competition and speed of innovation requires organisations to reduce their development cycles and deploy new technologies, in particular around data transformation. It is critical to keep operational costs under control. To reduce costs there is a need for a proven and performant framework which can reduce operational complexity and cost, manage increased scale of real-time data delivery to meet market demands, and assure data access control and security. The key to success is deploying a framework, i.e. Diffusion Cloud, that can easily and reliably scale up and down as required and deliver data with optimal efficiency using patented data optimisation and compression algorithms to reduce bandwidth costs by up to 90%.

Connecting, Transforming and Delivering Real-Time Data
Technology providers are looking to introduce solutions which reduce bandwidth and infrastructure requirements for customers to enable lower day-to-day operational costs, less system stress during peak events, and reduced support costs. The reality is that legacy technologies are not smart and send too much data to too many people unnecessarily, which is inefficient and expensive. Peak events will frequently cause massive loads on infrastructure, increase bandwidth needs and result in bottlenecks that affect the business’s bottom line.
Streaming technologies need to be aware of how data is being used to minimise bandwidth requirements. In order to manage and transmit only the data that has changed, the framework must have the capability to know what has been sent, when it was sent, and to whom it was sent. Such features allow companies to enhance their applications and expand revenue opportunities. Diffusion Cloud addresses the demanding needs of vendors when handling scale, performance, regulatory requirements, disparate geographies, and infrastructure efficiency, are vital to business success.

Personalisation
One of the key differentiators for many companies is to offer a personalised user experience. There is a business need to anticipate customer desire based on their actions. Responding to customers in a personalised manner can move the goal posts away from churn and towards customer retention and increased engagement and revenue per customer. When a customer engages through online applications, it is critical that they can easily choose options which address their specific requirements. To achieve this goal, one needs to be able to connect to a variety of data sources. In the past, this has meant engaging in an expensive and time-consuming data integration project.
Diffusion Cloud allows our customers to meet these goals without the integration burden. Diffusion is purpose-built to oversee the unique, real-time data ingestion, processing, and delivery challenges among data sources, applications, users, and devices for companies.

Grethe Brown, CEO at DiffusionData, said: “Diffusion Cloud removes many of the obstacles developers face when using open source or in-house built solutions, most notably in terms of scalability and latency. By providing developers and architects with a free month’s trial, we are giving them access to a mature, fully managed service; enabling them to trial and evaluate the benefits that Diffusion Cloud can deliver to their organisation.”

Spintec Strengthens its Partnership with Merkur in Colombia and Peru

 

At the Peru Gaming Show in June, strategic partners Merkur Gaming and Spintec entered a new chapter in their partnership in Latin America. The two companies signed a distribution agreement for Colombia and Peru, marking an important milestone in their collaboration. Their united presence at the show highlighted the strength of this alliance, which continues to deliver considerable advantages to their already winning cooperation across the region.

Spintec’s debut appearance this year was a highlight of Merkur Gaming stand at Jockey Plaza in Lima. The Slovenian specialist in Electronic Table Games (ETGs) featured an impressive range of products that combined innovation, reliability, and performance.  Their Karma and Charisma product lines were the big showstoppers with their unbeatable combination of innovation and reliability. These products are gaining traction and popularity all over the world for a very good reason: they are fully engaging and attractive to look at, while also being extremely dependable.

And the quality of Spintec’s portfolio is already delivering measurable results in the region. The renowned research company Eilers & Krejcik recognized Spintec as the top-performing ETG supplier in South America in their April 2025 Latin America Game Performance Report. This achievement propels the partnership in Peru and Colombia even further. It not only underlines the seamless integration of Merkur’s powerful regional presence with Spintec’s technological leadership in ETGs but also serves as a testament to the importance of companies’ growing strategic alliance.

“ETGs are a valuable and strategic addition to Merkur’s already robust product portfolio,” said Dominik Raasch, Management Board Member, Merkur Games. “Our partnership with Spintec is built on a shared vision of delivering excellence, innovation, and value to our customers. The joint market presence we are creating in Latin America is only the beginning.”

Goran Sovilj, Global Sales Director at Spintec, echoed the sentiment: “Our collaboration with Merkur Gaming continues to deepen, and we’re proud of what we’ve achieved together. With their strong local teams, infrastructure, and sales support, we are perfectly positioned to take the leading role in the ETG market in Latin America, and beyond.”

As the companies continue to strengthen and widen their strategic alliances in the region, their commitment to joint innovation, market leadership and next-level gaming experiences grows even further. The optimism is based on past achievements, but also on a very positive outlook towards future growth.

Betting on the Super Bowl LX Winner: Events Contracts vs Sports Betting

Betting on the Super Bowl LX Winner: Events Contracts vs Sports Betting

 

The NFL regular season is about to start in early September, but all eyes are on Super Bowl LX, the end of the journey. It will kick off on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, where the San Francisco 49ers play their home games. And that’s pretty much all we know about it, for now. Who’s going to play at the halftime show? (Taylor Swift?) What epic TV commercials will be aired (and how much will 30 seconds of airtime cost?) are all unknown.

Another Super Bowl question that has sparked debate as the NFL season is about to kick off is how millions of US fans who want a piece of the action will back their favorite to win. Will they do it through sports betting, which is now legal in most US states, or will they buy event contracts, a new product that is exploding on the internet nowadays, with regulation and legality causing heated debates in courts across the country?

The partnership US betting powerhouse FanDuel announced with event-contract giant CME shows how the industry is trying to navigate an entirely different regulatory universe. The Super Bowl, being one of the largest betting events on the planet, will also determine how these two universes will collide or coexist.

Although many people think sports betting and events contracts are similar, they are two very different beasts.

A traditional sports bet is speculative and meant for entertainment, based on a zero-sum wager between the sportsbook and bettor. Although some bettors apply knowledge and strategy, it is considered gambling, with results being purely up to chance. At the same time, event contracts companies argue that their product has a legitimate hedging function that, although it bears risk, is considered investment risk undertaken for economic purposes.

When placing a bet with a sportsbook, the bettor’s relationship and risk are solely with the sportsbook, which manages the risks, sets up the betting lines, adjusts the odds, and pays out large wins or collects losses. Event contracts are traded between members of a community, facilitated by a centralized exchange platform that doesn’t take part in the trade but rather facilitates transactions between buyers and sellers. Whereas a bookmaker determines odds in traditional betting, event contracts on an exchange platform are priced by market demand.

A bet will typically be binary and held until it expires (or cashed out early). For example, you can bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers to win against the New York Jets in the first gameday of these two teams this season. You will then win or lose based on the odds that were offered when you locked the bet. Event contracts are tradable, and their pricing will fluctuate depending on market conditions. For example, you can buy a contract for “Joe Burrow to win season MVP” and sell it months later at a profit if his odds improve, or alternatively, offload it at a loss if Burrow gets injured and his odds diminish.

Another huge difference is how event contracts are regulated compared to traditional NFL betting. Since the US Supreme Court annulled PASPA (the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992), each US state can regulate its own sports betting market. The regulators’ primary focus is to ensure operator integrity, protect customers from fraud, and put in place mechanisms to prevent and treat problem gambling.

Event contracts are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), a federal agency that is more focused on ensuring market integrity, preventing market manipulation, and protecting investors from a seismic market shift. It is rarely concerned with protecting individual investors from addiction and the prevention of loss from excessive trading.

The introduction of event contracts isn’t an evolution of sports betting. It is a big bang, representing the creation of an entirely new marketplace that operates under a different legal framework and a different set of values. Traditional betting lives in the sphere of entertainment and individual player protection, whereas event contracts exist in the world of investment and financial-market transparency and integrity.

The outcome of this regulatory debate will determine whether betting on the NFL and other major league sports will stay within the sportsbook space or expand into financial trading markets.

ACR POKER CONCLUDES MONSTER VENOM TOURNAMENTS, DELIVERING OVER $10 MILLION IN PRIZE POOLS AND EPIC FINAL TABLE BATTLES

Published

on

ACR Poker wrapped up its flagship Dual Venom tournaments, delivering over two weeks of big poker action and awarding more than $10 million in prize pools as players worldwide battled for massive payouts and coveted bounties.

The $8 Million NLH Venom drew 3,392 entrants across six Day 1 flights, pushing the prize pool to $8,480,000. The tournament concluded with Southern California resident David ‘IamYorFather’ Gonzalez, 54, claiming the NLH Venom crown after a fierce final table battle against elite opponents. The champion eliminated runner-up ‘ArkaduktusFrRM’, earning $665,163 and $45,000 in bounties.

“I’m still trying to process what just happened. Even days later it all seems so surreal. I was especially thrilled to be able to overcome being the short stack at the final table,” Gonzalez shared. “The money was a blessing because I have quite a few family members in need and this allows me to support them fully.”

Adding to the excitement, ‘sorka1975’ claimed the $500,000 top bounty, with ‘ArkaduktusFrRM’ ($210,000) and ‘AndreWard’ ($205,000) rounding out the top three mystery bounty winners.

ACR Pros kept the action buzzing throughout, with Chris Moneymaker firing up multiple bullets in the opening Day 1s, and Michael Loncar, Rob Kuhn, and Katie Lindsay earning their spots in Day 2. Fans can rewatch the final table action on ACR Poker’s Twitch channel, featuring Rob Kuhn and Drew Gonzalez.

Meanwhile, the $2 Million PLO Venom, tying ACR Poker’s biggest Omaha tourney ever, attracted 830 entrants and a $2,075,000 total prize pool. ‘FutureTrunks’ ultimately secured the first-place prize of $208,217, plus $146,250 in bounties.

“It was awesome to see such a solid turnout and fun atmosphere in both Venom tourneys,” said Moneymaker. “Huge congrats to the winners and everyone who hit those incredible bounties.” 

From Venom Fever to the Venom Vault, ACR Poker offered players hundreds of low-cost opportunities to win $2,650 Venom seats. One standout success came from ‘xGetxRektx’, who turned an $0.80 Venom Vault Key into an incredible $15,000 bounty and $6,500 cash prize.

While the Venom tourneys have concluded, ACR Poker is ensuring the action continues with more exciting tournaments approaching, including September’s Online Super Series XL, boasting a $50 million guarantee.
