Reading Time: 2 minutes

There are currently thousands of online betting sites and places to spend your money across the globe, in a market that shows no sign of slowing down. In fact the industry could be worth over $90 billion this year alone. Interestingly, changes to current legislation across states in the USA is opening up a potential gold rush to capitalise on the supply and demand as consumers seek to sports bet online for the first time.

To fuel this growth the global gambling industry spends hundreds of millions of dollars every year acquiring new customers, but how do the players themselves benefit?

Enter BetSavvy Club. A new dot com that aims to be the world’s largest eGaming rewards club for people who enjoy the pastime of playing casino games, poker, backing the football, horses and even eSports. BetSavvy.club is free to join and passes money, that would otherwise be spent on advertising, back to its members every month, a little bit like a co-operative.

Co-founder Nick Aldrich said, “The idea behind BetSavvy is that the club provides its members with rewards and benefits for doing what they would do anyway. Members can earn real cash by referring their friends to join the club and the rewards go three tiers deep so members benefit from referrals made from the people who they have referred a well. The club receives commissions from the gambling companies for sending them traffic and we pass this back to our members, after the costs of running the club. Meaning members don’t just enjoy a one off benefit they receive real cash rewards every month.”

Nick continued, “The club partners with hundreds of global betting providers and this means we pass on great offers and bonuses directly to our members. So rather than hunting the web for the latest best sign up deals or free offers, the club finds them for you. Basically, whether you enjoy the occasional bet online or you are serious poker player, there is no reason not to join the club.”

Millennial Esports Corp. (“Millennial” or the “Company,” TSX VENTURE: GAME, OTCQB: MLLLF), has appointed Darren Cox as company CEO and President, effective immediately. The founder of Nissan and Sony’s GT Academy, Cox previously served as Nissan’s Head of Global Motorsport.

“Darren has proven throughout his career and during his time with Millennial that he is an innovative thinker with an innate ability to get things done,” said Board member Peter Liabotis. “In appointing Darren as CEO, we have not only secured the best man for the job, we have also reaffirmed our commitment to esports racing and marketing data for the growing esports industry.”

Cox made his mark in the motorsport industry as Global Motorsport Director for Nissan and head of Global Sales and Marketing for the Nissan Motorsport Brand. During his time with Nissan, Cox was responsible for the ground-breaking GT Academy program between 2008 and 2015, which took PlayStation gamers and turned them into international racing drivers for the Japanese manufacturer.

Previously, during his 18-year tenure at the Renault Nissan Alliance, Cox held several senior positions including Digital Marketing Director for Europe where he was responsible for, amongst other areas, customer data for marketing. It was in this role that Cox first realized the incredible value of data collection and analysis.

“I have seen the potential of Millennial Esports from day one and am excited to shape the company’s future with the talented group of people we have assembled,” said Cox in welcoming his move from Global CMO and President to CEO and President.

These are still white spaces with a huge upside in terms of revenue that we can exploit through a combination of my background and our assets, such as our in-house gaming studio Eden Games and our data experts at Stream Hatchet.”

Cox replaces hospitality and technology industry veteran Steve Shoemaker, who has successfully completed his work in restructuring the company. “Steve has done a tremendous job leading the company to focus on its core esports racing and data analytics assets while reducing its overhead cost structure and moving the company towards profitability. We would like to thank Steve for his efforts in positioning the company for its next phase of growth and wish him well in his next endeavour,” said Board member Bryan Reyhani.

IDN Media officially enters the eSports industry by acquiring GGWP.ID, the leading eSports media in Indonesia. Ricky Setiawan, who is the founder of GGWP.ID, will keep his role as the CEO of a 60-people team of GGWP.ID.

The eSports industry has grown rapidly in the past few years, especially in Indonesia. Understanding the potential, IDN Media believes that eSports’ massive growth is just the beginning. It is indicated by the increase number of eSports players, viewers, and enthusiasts in Indonesia. As a result, 2019 and 2020 are projected to be the years of eSports by many industry experts.

As a one-stop eSports company, GGWP.ID will have 4 main business units: 1) eSports Media, 2) eSports Tournament Platform, 3) eSports Team, and 4) eSports Creative. eSports Media is a multi-platform media for eSports enthusiasts in Indonesia. eSports Tournament Platform is a platform that allows eSports enthusiasts to create and organize tournaments by themselves instantly. eSports Team is a professional eSports team that competes in popular games. eSports Creative is a multi-platform digital agency focusing on brand storytelling, content creation, and online activation.

In addition, GGWP.ID also hosts the leading gaming event in Indonesia, Game Prime, together with BEKRAF (Badan Ekonomi Kreatif) Republik Indonesia / IACE (Indonesian Agency for Creative Economy) and AGI (Asosiasi Game Indonesia) – an Indonesian game association.

IDN Media is aiming to make GGWP.ID become the ‘ESPN’ of eSports in Indonesia and would like to change the perception about eSports from its stereotypical perspective – that playing games brings negative impacts. In fact, eSports can improve intelligence, teamwork, focus, and strategic thinking for Millennials and Gen Z. Through GGWP.ID, IDN Media wants to build more awareness and exposure of the opportunities that eSports can bring to society, including to eSports players, enthusiasts, content creators, and brands.

Winston Utomo, Founder & CEO of IDN Media – “We are very excited to enter the eSports industry and work together with Ricky and the whole GGWP.ID team. We believe that the eSports phenomenon has just begun. With GGWP.ID, we envision to create the biggest and most impactful eSports company in the region for Millennials and Gen Z.”
