AI-driven game data science specialist accelerates global expansion plans with ‘Co-Sell Ready’ partner status

Future Anthem, the pioneering AI and game data science specialist that interprets player behaviours in real-time to the world of online gambling, has become the one of the world’s first igaming companies to earn ‘Co-Sell Ready’ status with technology giant Microsoft.

The select accreditation sees Future Anthem onboarded to Microsoft’s solutions offering, which will fast track commercial opportunities on a global scale beyond its existing core market in the UK and Europe.

As a co-seller, Microsoft’s in-house sales team will be empowered to directly pitch Future Anthem’s Anthemetrics platform to its vast global community of Microsoft-managed customers.

Future Anthem helps its clients, including several of the industry’s largest operators and leading studios, grow responsibly and sustainably using Game Data Science.

Its platform is built on Azure, Microsoft’s global cloud ecosystem, and continuously executes multiple terabytes’ worth of data. In 2020, Future Anthem analysed billions of spins from millions of player hours across thousands of games, providing its customers with deep insights that empower them to drive revenues and engagement levels, instantly identify markers of harm for vulnerable players, creating safer, more entertaining and more personalised experiences – all in real-time.

The project to reach Co-Sell Ready status was spearheaded by Future Anthem CMO and cloud computing expert Mitchell Feldman that required employees to undergo rigorous training, upskilling and an accreditation process.

Feldman, who was winner of the Microsoft Worldwide Cloud Partner of the Year trophy in 2014, beating more than 650,000 global partners to the accolade, described Future Anthem’s validation by the tech titan as ‘truly transformational’.

“To get this recognition from Microsoft is a proud achievement for Future Anthem that has required substantial input from across the business,” said Feldman. “The elasticity and security of Microsoft Azure, coupled with the lead-generation injection that being a co-seller brings, means that will have a transformational effect on our ambitious growth strategy.”

Future Anthem CEO and Founder Leigh Nissim said: “This is a significant and exciting development that demonstrates how quickly Future Anthem is maturing and creates huge opportunity for us to hyperscale on a global basis.

“Our approach to AI and data is pioneering within the igaming industry and we are incredibly pleased to land a strategic partner in Microsoft that shares our clear and ambitious vision to grow responsibly and sustainably.”

New SuperScale eBook Launched to Help Mobile Game Developers Maximise Organic Success

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

SuperScale has released its latest ebook “From organic success to long-term revenue,” which addresses the concerns and opportunities identified in SuperScale’s landmark study, “Good Games Don’t Die”. The new SuperScale ebook builds on the signature whitepaper, providing mobile game developers with actionable insights and strategies to implement when a game gains organic traction.

Organic strategies such as celebrity endorsement, streamer coverage and TikTok virality can quickly catapult a game to the top of the charts, but it can be a challenge to maintain popularity. As discovered in the Good Games Don’t Die Report, 76% of launched games hit peak revenue and 47% of games die in year 1. The ebook provides developers with advice to further maximize the long-term revenue of games that have generated organic successes to date.

Previous findings also revealed that over a quarter (26%) of developers do not measure the lifetime value (LTV) and return on ad spend (ROAS) for their games. The ebook offers insights for developers exploring LTV and ROAS for the first time, alongside the significance of factors such as seasonality and marketing to seasoned game-makers. As discovered in the Good Games Don’t Die report, only 41% of developers use Ad mediation platforms. Inside the ebook, SuperScale specialists explain this process, offering advice about picking the right network, and the bidding and waterfall optimisation processes.

Ivan Trancik, CEO and Founder of SuperScale, said: “The findings from the Good Games Don’t Die white paper have been read far and wide by the industry. We’ve delved into the data to deliver an ebook that addresses the opportunities some developers are not currently exploring. In today’s mobile gaming landscape, every revenue-making opportunity counts, so we’re giving developers the insights to take their organic success to the next level.”

Gaming Corps boosts Smash4Cash™ offering with release of RAMPAGE!

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Gaming Corps – a publicly-listed game development company based in Sweden – is giving players the chance to swing wildly and bring the riches home in new game RAMPAGE!

Players can put their luck to the test and crack open ball after ball, revealing marvellous prizes hidden within.

RAMPAGE! is the second game in Gaming Corps’ Smash4Cash™ series, following the release of Piggy Smash in January. The Smah4Cash™ mechanic is designed to make the game experience even more unique and bring an even greater chance for players to make the most of bonus rounds.

Each time a player wagers on RAMPAGE! they make an attempt to smash a single active ball laid out in the middle of the game screen. There are two racks, with one on each side of the active ball, each holding four balls.

If the ball is smashed, the player will be rewarded with an instant prize, and one of several features may also be awarded. After a ball is smashed, it will be replaced with a new ball that drops from the rack, becoming active.

A ball being smashed may activate the MULTIPLIER feature, which will apply to the payout of the next ball that will be smashed. The next ball is automatically made active and is a guaranteed smash.

What’s more for players is the RAMPAGE feature could also be activated. The game will enter RAMPAGE MODE, where the Hammer automatically attempts to smash balls until it fails. A minimum of two balls will be smashed in this feature.

Even more winnings can be claimed if the MULTIPLIER RAMPAGE feature is triggered, combining both the MULTIPLIER and RAMPAGE features. During this feature, all smashed balls will have their payouts multiplied by the awarded multiplier at the start of the feature.

That’s not all, as players can also win a random prize if the INSTANT WIN feature is triggered. The game will award a random prize of 10x, 25x, 100x or 1000x the bet.

Connor Blinman, Head of Games at Gaming Corps said: “Our Smash4Cash™ mechanic is giving players even more opportunities to make the most of our thrilling games, and following the successful release of Piggy Smash, I’m very thankful to our team for smashing it out the park with our latest game to use the mechanic, RAMPAGE!

“This won’t be the last you will be hearing from us with releases like this, and I really look forward to seeing how we can make our games even stronger through the use of this mechanic in the coming months.”
