RAPTOR PR ANNOUNCES TWO MAJOR GAMES INDUSTRY CLIENT WINS & SENIOR HIRE
Raptor PR – the only pure B2B PR agency dedicated to the global video games industry – is thrilled to announce two major new client wins and a significant addition to its growing team of specialist communications experts. The company has been appointed agency of record by Ultra, a next-generation PC games store, and SuperScale, a successful data and analytics company which powers mobile games growth. Continuing its own recent growth, Raptor PR also has hired legendary games industry writer, Craig Chapple, as its new Head of Content.
Ultra is a next generation PC gaming store and ecosystem which is championing a better deal for game developers, gamers, content creators, and esports players. Its expanding global team is made up of veterans from major global publishers and gametech companies. SuperScale helps mobile game developers and publishers such as EA, BoomBit and Fingersoft make better use of their data in order to grow the mobile games in their portfolios. The company was founded in Slovakia in 2015 and last year opened a dedicated London office. Raptor PR is creating data-driven integrated communications campaigns for both companies to take their stories to market with high impact.
Craig Chapple joins the Raptor PR team after previously serving as Mobile Insights Strategist at Sensor Tower and Senior Editor at leading mobile games trade media outlet, PocketGamer.Biz, having held additional roles at Nintendo UK and Develop magazine. As a games industry specialist, Chapple will spearhead written content for Raptor PR; serving as a valuable talent for the B2B agency’s client base. Craig is also a contributor to leading games industry resource Naavik.
Rana Rahman, Founder and CEO, Raptor PR, commented:
“Team Raptor is humbled to welcome aboard both SuperScale and Ultra, which are both extremely well positioned to disrupt their respective industries. As for Craig…well…let’s say I’ve been waiting years to finally work with him! His appointment will supercharge our data-driven, strategic content offering, supporting our clients and Raptor PR itself with the very best content on the market.”
Paraag Amin, Group CFO, SuperScale, commented:
“When searching for an agency, we wanted to find a team with more than a surface-level understanding of how the games industry operates, including topics such as user acquisition and data science. Team Raptor ticked all the boxes with their considerable experience within the mobile games industry. We’re looking forward to reaching developers and publishers through great, informed storytelling with Raptor PR.”
Nicolas Gilot, CEO and Founder, Ultra, commented:
“Ultra is a platform with gaming at its core and which leverages cutting-edge technologies to improve on the status quo in the games industry. Raptor PR reflects this ethos with a tangible passion for gaming and a pragmatic approach to emergent tech. We’re looking forward to benefiting from Raptor’s energy and enthusiasm about the games industry – both present and future.”
Craig Chapple, Head Of Content , Raptor PR, commented:
“I’m delighted to join Raptor. I love writing about the games industry and making use of quality data and powerful storytelling. This has been my calling for the past 11+ years at Develop, PocketGamer.biz and Sensor Tower, and I’m pleased that the rest of the growing team at Raptor shares my curiosity and depth of knowledge about gaming.”
Raptor PR has been recently voted as a finalist for Agency of the Year at the Mobile Game Awards, from Steel Media. Its appointments by Ultra and SuperScale follow the Q4 2022 wins of Kinetix, Sandsoft Games, and Bidstack Group PLC.
Compliance Updates
BetComply brings ComplyCheck to the UK and beyond with major update
BetComply, iGaming’s most trusted technical and regulatory compliance firm, has expanded the coverage of its ComplyCheck tool to the UK, with even more new markets to follow.
ComplyCheck launched earlier this year as a new self-assessment / audit hybrid designed to help licence holders in the Netherlands navigate increasingly complex requirements.
The tool has proven so successful that partners have called for it to cover other regulated markets. BetComply has responded by adding the UK, with Ontario and Estonia to follow shortly. There are plans to roll out many more jurisdictions for ComplyCheck, starting with MGA and Curacao licences in early 2025.
Mike de Graaff, Chief Compliance Officer at BetComply, said: “When we launched ComplyCheck, it was a completely new approach designed to simplify licensing audits for operators. It’s been so popular in the Netherlands, we’ve prioritised bringing the service to new markers, starting with the UK. We’ve designed ComplyCheck to provide greater clarity to operators, making the audit process more efficient without compromising on the all important details. We couldn’t be more excited to see our partners using the tool in these new markets.”
ComplyCheck, which is powered by SG Certified, guides operators through the licensing process in two stages. Firstly, the tool presents operators with a simple set of questions they can complete and substantiate with evidence in their own time.
These responses are then analysed by BetComply’s team of regulatory experts, who reply with a full report highlighting any gaps where the operator may not be compliant.
