THE UNIT BRINGS ANDY CLERKSON AND ROB EGAN’S STRONG INDUSTRY NOUS TO ITS TEAM
The Unit, the leader in product development and digital marketing for betting and igaming, has added two industry stalwarts in Andy Clerkson and Rob Egan to its team as Strategic Advisor and Business Development Director respectively.
Clerkson joins the business having built up a wealth of industry experience. In 2007, he founded influential digital agency Grand Parade, which worked for the great and the good of the online sports betting world, before being acquired by William Hill in 2016. Subsequently, he helped The Stars Group and FOX Sports set up operator FOX Bet in the USA, while he is also the former Chairman of free-to-play (F2P) sports game provider SportCaller. Elsewhere, Clerkson is a Partner at leading investment and advisory firm Tekkorp Capital.
Egan was a colleague of Clerkson’s during his time at SportCaller, where Egan worked across a series of progressively responsible positions, culminating at Business Development Director. This was followed by a stint as Head of Free-to-Play North America for Bally’s Interactive after the US powerhouse acquired SportCaller in 2021.
The appointment of Clerkson also reunites him with The Unit’s Co-Founder, Paddy Casey, who worked under Clerkson at Grand Parade and boasts extensive expertise in betting and gaming, having held a succession of senior product and commercial roles for brands such as BoyleSports, Paddy Power and Gala Coral Group.
These notable additions cement The Unit’s position as a world-class service provider for the sports betting and igaming sector across global markets over the past five years. The team specialises in developing products across a range of industry domains, including Sports, Casino, Free to Play and Gamification Platforms.
Among The Unit’s growing list of partners are brands such as Low6, 10star and PlayStar Casino. Its unwavering focus on creating world-class products that are as efficient as they are scalable sets The Unit apart in the core competencies of product development, innovation and MarTech integration.
Paddy Casey, Co-Founder of The Unit, said: “I am thrilled to add two such senior and successful industry executives to our team. Andy built a terrific business in exactly the space The Unit is in and I had the good fortune to work with him there at Grand Parade and witness the incredible growth. Rob was instrumental in building SportCaller, the most successful free-to-play gaming company in the industry. Both have worked with global operators for many years , and I’m certain their eclectic know-how will allow us to continue to be industry leaders in product, both innovation and development, as well as MarTech, as we grow our worldwide footprint into new territories.”
Andy Clerkson, Strategic Advisor at The Unit, commented: “It’s a pleasure to link up with both Paddy and Rob again; we’ve had some brilliant successes together over the years. The Unit is an exciting proposition. Ever since Grand Parade was consumed by William Hill, there has been a lack of resource for specialist sports betting and igaming design and development, with front and backend disciplines, all available in teams of anything from 4 to 40. Our industry knows that there’s a steep learning curve when it comes to building sports betting and gaming products, alongside working with large platforms. The Unit has the product smarts and the developer heft. I am relishing the chance to help Paddy and Rob scale this business up.”
Rob Egan, Business Development Director at The Unit, added: “With any supplier, it’s important to have a strong and experienced team to deliver quality products at scale, on time and add value. The Unit have that team and have been offering some of the best software in the gaming space, so this was an opportunity I could not turn down. They’ve already built up a strong track record over the past five years of operation and are the best-kept secret in the space, to my mind. Of course, I now look forward to changing that in my biz dev capacity, helping The Unit on their way to sustained growth.”

Maximizing ROI in Casino and Crypto Campaigns: How AI-Driven Advertising with ROIads Outperforms Traditional Methods
Let’s be honest — running a casino or crypto campaign can feel a little like playing roulette. You spin the wheel, pray to the marketing gods, and hope you don’t land on “traditional advertising.” Because let’s face it, using old-school marketing methods today is like betting on the number 0 and hoping it’ll hit every time. Spoiler alert: It won’t.
But here’s the thing — AI-driven advertising isn’t a buzzword anymore; it’s the saviour of your marketing budget. And if you haven’t heard about ROIads, well, buckle up, because we’re about to deep-dive into how it’s not just better than traditional methods — it’s on another planet entirely.
Traditional Advertising: The Marketing Equivalent of Using a Flip Phone
Picture this: You’re standing on the street, shouting your casino or crypto promotion through a megaphone, hoping the right person hears you. That’s basically traditional advertising. You’re putting your message out there, but do you know who’s actually listening? Probably some random guy waiting for the bus, not your target audience of high-rollers or crypto enthusiasts.
Sure, you could run TV ads, print media campaigns, or (gasp) billboards. But let’s be real — when was the last time you stared at a billboard and thought, “Wow, I can’t wait to sign up for this crypto service!” Yeah, I thought so. The effectiveness of traditional advertising is about as reliable as a slot machine — sometimes you win, but most of the time you’re just out of cash.
Enter ROIads: AI-Driven Advertising That Actually Knows What It’s Doing
Now, imagine using AI to run your campaigns. You know, that mystical technology that can beat chess champions and predict the weather better than your phone’s app. ROIads takes AI and puts it to work for your casino and crypto campaigns. Instead of shouting into the void, AI ensures that your ads are only seen by the people who actually care—people who are already halfway to converting before they’ve even clicked on your ad.
Let’s talk about precision targeting. With traditional methods, you’re basically throwing your message into the wind, hoping it lands somewhere useful. ROIads, on the other hand, uses advanced AI algorithms to slice through all the noise and hit exactly the right audience. Want to target that one guy who only bets on Wednesdays and prefers Litecoin over Bitcoin? Done. ROIads finds him.
The ROI Difference: Your Wallet Will Thank You
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “This sounds great, but how does it actually perform?” Well, let’s talk about ROI—that elusive creature traditional marketing tries to capture but often misses entirely.
With traditional methods, you spend a fortune and cross your fingers, hoping to see some return. With ROIads, the entire point is maximising every dollar. The AI tracks user behaviour in real time, optimising your campaign like a blackjack dealer shuffling the perfect hand. No more throwing cash at a campaign and hoping for the best. ROIads ensures that your ad spend is working for you, adjusting campaigns on the fly to get the most out of every cent.
Real-Time Optimization: Because Static Ads Are So 2010
One of the biggest issues with traditional methods is that once the ad is out there, you’re stuck with it. If it bombs, well, tough luck. But with ROIads, your campaign doesn’t sit still—it’s constantly evolving. The AI analyses how users interact with your ads and adjusts in real time. If one angle isn’t resonating, boom—AI shifts the messaging. It’s like having a marketing team that never sleeps and never stops optimising. Sorry, traditional marketers, but your 9-to-5 just doesn’t cut it anymore.
ROIads vs. Traditional Methods: Not Even Close
Let’s break it down with some cold, hard facts. You run a traditional ad campaign, and you might (if you’re lucky) get some impressions, maybe a few clicks. But good luck calculating that return on investment without resorting to guesswork and vague KPIs. Meanwhile, ROIads doesn’t just track clicks—it tracks engagement, conversion, and real returns in real time. You’ll know exactly how your campaign is performing, who’s engaging, and, most importantly, how much money it’s making you.
And if you’re still hanging onto the idea that traditional methods are “tried and true,” let me remind you that the world has moved on. It’s 2024, people. We have AI that can beat humans at Go—don’t you think it can run a better marketing campaign than a random billboard?
AI-Driven Campaigns Are Here to Stay (And Traditional Advertising Isn’t)
Let’s be honest: traditional advertising is going the way of Blockbuster, MySpace, and those “As Seen on TV” infomercials. Meanwhile, AI-driven campaigns like ROIads are thriving because they’re smarter, more efficient, and actually designed for the digital age. If you’re still pouring money into outdated advertising methods, it’s time to wake up and smell the artificial intelligence.
With ROIads, you’re not just keeping up with the times—you’re staying ahead of the curve. And let’s face it, in an industry as fast-paced as crypto and gaming, you need every advantage you can get.
So, are you ready to stop gambling with your marketing budget and start maximising your ROI? Or are you going to keep hoping your ad hits the jackpot with traditional methods? The choice is yours—just don’t say we didn’t warn you.

By continuing to invest in content and casino EveryMatrix further strengthens its customer offering by adding a portfolio of globally popular premium games enjoyed by next generation players, boost its direct contracts and integrations, and further strengthen one of the most profitable areas of its business.
Fantasma Games’ market distribution will also boost EveryMatrix’s presence in rapidly growing markets such as North America where it has established contracts with multiple tier-1 operators in every licensed iGaming state, and where it has ambitious plans in the coming years.
Ebbe Groes, Group CEO and Co-Founder, EveryMatrix, said: “We’re delighted to announce that this acquisition will proceed. It is another M&A deal fully funded from our own cash flow and made possible due to our rapid organic growth. We see big synergies and opportunities!

EveryMatrix has a strong technical platform and extensive experience in fostering successful collaborations within the gaming industry, which makes us feel confident that together we can take our game development to new heights.
“Through this partnership, we see tremendous potential, not only to enhance the quality of our existing games, but also to develop new and groundbreaking game concepts that can set future standards. We look forward to building a long-term and successful collaboration where we can jointly continue to drive development forward and create added value for both players and our partners.”
