Hacksaw Gaming is excited to announce a sponsorship deal with Spanish football club AD Alcorcón.

Running throughout the 2022/23 football season, the agreement will see Hacksaw Gaming’s logo displayed on the team’s football shirts as well as advertising hoardings placed around the Municipal de Santo Domingo stadium, home of AD Alcorcón.

Designed to enhance brand exposure in the fast-growing Spanish market, the partnership is the first of its kind between Hacksaw Gaming and a professional sports team. Buoyed by another hugely successful year, Hacksaw Gaming has laid out ambitious plans for 2023 with strategic branding opportunities central to growth targets across a number of jurisdictions.

The company’s roster of games has been warmly received by players in Spain since launching last year and the sponsorship of AD Alcorcón aims to build on its strong market entry. Furthermore, the deal will provide an additional revenue stream for AD Alcorcón while helping to raise the team’s profile.

More announcements are expected in due course as Hacksaw Gaming looks to position itself for continued growth on the international stage.

Founded in 1971, AD Alcorcón plays in the Spanish Primera Federación division.

Fresh off the back of a hard-fought 1-0 win over FC Talavera on Saturday, February 11th, AD Alcorcón currently sit atop their division by two points over arch-rivals Real Madrid Castilla, the reserve team of one of the most successful teams of all-time, Real Madrid.

The club’s high point came on October 27, 2009, when they defeated a star-studded Real Madrid line-up containing no fewer than nine full international players 4-0 in the first leg of their round-of-32 Copa del Rey tie. It was the first time AD Alcorcón had faced opponents from Spain’s top footballing tier, going on to record a memorable 4-1 aggregate victory to etch their place in folklore.

Marcus Cordes, CEO of Hacksaw Gaming, said of the partnership: “We’re delighted to partner up with AD Alcorcón, an exciting team lighting up the Primera División RFEF.

“This deal will help us establish a rock-solid footing in the Spanish market as we embark upon further international expansion.

“AD Alcorcón are aligned with our own ambitious goals for success off the pitch, and we wish them the best of luck in their quest for promotion to LaLiga Smartbank!”

AD Alcorcón’s CEO, Ignacio Alvarez, was similarly enthused about the collaboration, adding: “We couldn’t be more excited to kick off a partnership with one of Spain’s brightest iGaming studios, adding to its already strong international presence.

“AD Alcorcón and Hacksaw Gaming are both hungry teams standing out in their game. With our partner’s support we look forward to living great moments this season and achieving ambitious goals.

“It is very important for us the feeling of mutual enthusiasm, positive energy and confidence that both partners are bringing to this collaboration. That shared commitment will make us do our best to ensure a very successful relationship.”

Oddsgate earns key ISO 37001 and ISO 37301 certifications

Oddsgate adds ISO 37001 and ISO 37301 to its certification portfolio, reinforcing its long-term strategy for integrity, trusted growth, and positioning as an ethical tech partner.

In a sector where regulatory evolution is constant and reputational risk travels fast, certifications alone are not the story, but the mindset behind them is. While new ISO achievements might go unnoticed by those accustomed to industry headlines, the recent ISO 37001 (Anti-Bribery Management) and ISO 37301 (Compliance Management) certifications obtained by Oddsgate represent more than procedural victories. They mark a conscious, strategic reinforcement of the company’s internal culture and operational DNA.

Rather than responding reactively to compliance demands, Oddsgate continues to build a structure where ethics, transparency, and control are not just safeguards but enablers of trust and performance. These certifications confirm that the company doesn’t just meet international standards, it anticipates them, translating complex regulatory requirements into clear, measurable practices across its platform and business model.

“Our pursuit of these certifications was not driven by obligation, but by conviction. At Oddsgate, we view compliance as a catalyst, not a constraint. It enables our partners to grow securely and gives regulators and stakeholders something that has become a competitive asset: trust”, according to Tiago Almeida, Oddsgate’s CEO.

The ISO 37001 certification focuses on implementing a preventive and responsive anti-bribery management system. It covers a full spectrum of practices, from due diligence and risk assessment to internal audits, training, and whistleblowing mechanisms. It applies to both active and passive bribery and is compatible with other management systems already adopted by the company, such as ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 27001 (Information Security), and ISO 22301 (Business Continuity).

ISO 37301, meanwhile, raises the bar for how organization’s structure and monitor compliance at scale. Unlike its predecessor, ISO 19600, which served only as a guideline, ISO 37301 is a certifiable standard. It evaluates how a company maps its legal and regulatory obligations, integrates ethical conduct into its operations, and engages leadership in continuous improvement and governance. This includes everything from contractual commitments to internal codes of ethics and industry-specific requirements.

These certifications serve a dual function: mitigate legal and reputational risks while unlocking new value through stronger partnerships, regulatory credibility, and long-term operational resilience.

“More than responding to what’s expected, we believe in building systems that anticipate and adapt,” adds Tiago Almeida. “Compliance, when treated as strategy, can attract the right partners, generate business stability, and protect innovation from unnecessary risk.”

Oddsgate’s compliance architecture is not an isolated layer but is deeply integrated with its platform offering and customer experience. From onboarding new operators to processing data securely and managing affiliate networks, the company has developed internal controls that scale with client growth while respecting local and international regulations.

As global markets mature and enforcement becomes more sophisticated, Oddsgate positions itself as a technology provider and an operational ally capable of helping its clients confidently navigate complex compliance landscapes.
