Former Swedish monopoly operator to leverage Kambi’s cutting-edge Complete sportsbook as well as Shape Games’ front end technology to launch highly differentiated sportsbook product

Kambi Group plc (“Kambi”), the world’s trusted sports betting partner, has signed an exclusive long-term agreement to power the online and retail sportsbook of Svenska Spel Sport & Casino, one of the leading operators in the regulated Swedish market.

Following a competitive tender process, Kambi was selected by Svenska Spel Sport & Casino due to the strength of its cutting-edge Complete sportsbook product, commitment to upholding the highest levels of compliance and its strong record of offering an extensive range of operator empowerment tools, including price differentiation. The agreement is expected to have a meaningful financial impact from H2 2024.

In line with Kambi’s modularisation strategy, the multi-channel partnership will also see Kambi subsidiary Shape Games power the front end of Svenska Spel Sport & Casino’s new sportsbook, giving the operator control over the user experience and enabling it to differentiate from its competitors.

State-owned Svenska Spel was founded in 1997 following the merger between AB Tipstjänst and Svenska Penninglotteriet AB and is one of the largest operators in Sweden’s regulated market with a strong online presence and 5,000 retail outlets.

Kristian Nylén, Kambi CEO and Co-Founder, said: “Svenska Spel is widely recognised as one of Sweden’s most prestigious brands and given Kambi’s strong Swedish roots, I am proud that we have been selected as the operator’s long-term sportsbook provider. As we continue to build commercial momentum and execute our long-term strategy, this partnership is a significant milestone for the business and will enable Kambi to further strengthen its position in one of our core markets.”

Morten Tonnesen, Shape Games Chief Commercial Officer, said: “This is an incredibly exciting new partnership for Shape Games which marks the third former state-owned monopoly we have partnered with. From day one, we have been dedicated to enhancing the sports betting user experience with our leading front end technology and we are really looking forward to working closely with Svenska Spel to deliver something truly unique for its players.”

Dan Korhonen, Svenska Spel Sport & Casino Head of Product Sportsbetting, said: “It has been an extensive process. We have evaluated a number of different alternatives and we feel we have found the perfect partner in Kambi. This partnership will further strengthen our offering. We look forward to launch our new Oddset sportsbook next year where focus will be on accommodating our customers on a new level.”

This game invites players to join the fearless explorer, Lucky Jane, as she guides them through the rich and mysterious world of ancient Egypt in search of big rewards.

In Lucky Jane in Egypt Win Spins, Lucky Jane, the highest-paying symbol in the game, leads players on a treasure-filled journey across the iconic symbols of Egyptian mythology, including the protective eye of Horus, a powerful scarab, the legendary pyramids, and golden Coins. Just three golden Coins are enough to trigger the Bonus Spins round, which is at the heart of the Win Spins mechanic.

During the Bonus Spins, players receive ten free spins where Coins with values ranging from x1 to x100 appear on the 5×3 reels, paying out on any position. The more Coins a player collects, the bigger the potential payout! Players can also uncover the Minipot Coin to win the x100 Minipot or gather 15 Coins to unlock the coveted x1,000 Megapot.

Olga Bogdanova, Art Director at 1spin4win, commented, “With Lucky Jane in Egypt Win Spins, we’ve combined the richness of Egyptian mythology with a new gameplay mechanic that allows players to gather rewards as they go. The Win Spins mechanic works hand in hand with the theme, ensuring that every spin brings players closer to unlocking larger payouts and deeper adventure.”

From Entry-Level Candidates to Team Leads in a Year — How We Trained and Developed Affiliate Managers at Betmen Affiliates

Published

on

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

My name is Margarita, and I am the Director of the Betmen Affiliates program. We launched 1.5 years ago with just 10 active partners. Finding the perfect candidate for an affiliate manager role proved challenging—being such a specialised area, I reasoned that it was much better to train on the job. Therefore, after a short while running interviews, we hired two affiliate managers one of whom had no sales experience and the other who had no experience in traffic arbitrage. It was imperative to us that we hire driven, resourceful, hard-workers; it’s people like these who can launch a new brand almost from scratch and who easily understand that hitting targets sometimes means putting in more than the standard nine-to-six effort—sometimes working longer, sometimes harder.

 

How We Developed Two Entry-Level Affiliate Managers into Team Leads

How to Train Affiliate Managers: My Case Study

At first, both of my employees brought in very few partners, so I had to transfer some of my own over to them. At the same time, I demonstrated all the steps of partner contact. We began attending events together. Both Alex and Michael quickly took on all my recommendations, improved their skills, and eventually closed many successful deals.

An affiliate manager worth his or her salt must be able to sell the product and influence affiliates to promote it at our offered rate, promote our many payment options, and talk about conversions. 

 

From Affiliate Managers to Team Leads

By the time we needed a team lead, we had formed a close-knit team. Even though I interviewed several candidates for the position, hiring externally did not feel right. The ideal person for the role needed to have strong managerial skills as well as be able to connect with myself and my team. Michael and Alex both recommended each other for the role. I took both their recommendations on and promoted them both to the position. Both Alex and Michael had already proven themselves, were loyal, trust-worthy and hard-working, and always driven to meet their goals 

 

Conclusion: Why Should You Take a Chance on Newcomers?

I hired employees with almost no experience and I have no regrets. I now have a unique team that can deliver amazing results: in just a year and a half, we’ve increased the number of FTDs by 70 times and are steadily moving towards 80,000 monthly deposits. Here are the key takeaways from their stories:

→ A candidate’s enthusiasm is more important than relevant experience. You can teach anyone anything but you can’t spark passion in them. A future manager must be passionate about the work and strive for growth.  

→ An employee who grows within the company is highly loyal to their lead and the project. Having moved from a regular manager to a team lead, they are able to train new hires because they know the role inside out. The team will respect leaders who were once in their position.  

→ People who love their work drive the brand forward and achieve the best results. They focus not on working hours or weekdays but on the goals they need to accomplish.

I love my employees and am proud of them. I believe we are one of the strongest, most united, and professional teams in the industry.

In the second instalment of the MightyQs interview series, MightyTips sat down with SPRIBE founder and CEO David Natroshvili to discuss their partnership with UFC. Launched in October 2023, this collaboration promotes the acclaimed provider’s premier crash game, Aviator, to a global audience.

Natroshvili expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership’s success so far: “The results have exceeded even our highest expectations. We’ve reached a wider audience, strengthened brand loyalty, and established a deeper presence in key markets,” he told MightyQs exclusively.

The partnership between SPRIBE’s Aviator and UFC

SPRIBE teamed up with UFC, the world’s biggest MMA promotion, to increase visibility for its groundbreaking social game, Aviator. SPRIBE and Aviator branding are prominently displayed at various UFC Pay-Per-Views and selected Fight Nights. The multi-year partnership also includes high-visibility brand placements within live telecasts. This affiliation aims to expand the reach of SPRIBE’s brand and elevate its flagship product.

In addition, several UFC stars such as Johnny Walker, Alex Pereira, Merab Dvalishvili, and Jully Poca serve as Aviator ambassadors. They bring the partnership to life through live public appearances and dynamic creative campaigns.

David Natroshvili’s Insights

“I’m a huge fan of the UFC. My passion for the sport started years ago, watching the earliest fights and being captivated by the combination of strength, skill, and strategy. The respect I’ve developed for these athletes has only grown, making it a privilege to now partner with the UFC,” Natroshvili said.

“Aviator has continued its upward trajectory, showing impressive growth over the past year. Our player base has expanded from 12 million to over 37 million users, and the number of bets per minute has jumped from 150,000 to 310,000. This growth motivates us to invest more in enhancing the game and engaging new audiences to sustain this momentum,” he added.
