Atlas-IAC unpacks its cutting-edge automation & next generation “no-risk” sportsbook with flagship stand at G2E Asia
Atlas-IAC, the leading sportsbook and PAM software developer, will make its debut at G2E Asia, Asia’s foremost sports betting and igaming summit, later this month at Singapore’s stunning Marina Bay Sands (30 May- 1 June), where Atlas delegates will be on hand to unpack its latest plans and innovative product suite at Stand B1506.
Atlas-IAC will take this timely opportunity to showcase its diverse, cutting-edge automated trading tools and fully automated CRM solution, which allows the complete management of customer marketing and communication activities in one place. Customers can be grouped into profiled segments based on site activity, betting behaviour, deposit regularity and a host of additional personal traits.
Get in touch to booka meeting to discuss the full platform; consider its “no-risk” sportsbook option; evaluate its in-built CRM and trading tools, built by some of the finest trading minds in the business. Or simply stop by Stand B1506, where a host of team delegates will be waiting to greet you or arrange an easy-to-follow demonstration.
Atlas-IAC’s next-generation sportsbook can also now be integrated as an iFrame on a no-risk structure, running off unique pricing models – allowing users to enjoy sophisticated and reactive in-play odds up to the last second of a game, with competitive pricing on all sports. This service arrives in perfect time for this summer’s relentless sporting schedule.
Atlas-IAC’s modern technology helps to overcome local regulatory challenges with a light physical deployment backed up by centralised control systems. The company has always placed a strong premium on social responsibility and its solution offers full workflow management across AML and customer interactions as well as flexible tools for self-exclusion, time-outs and self-imposed limits.
Among ATLAS’s assorted tailored solutions for Asian operators are localized sports betting products, coupled with data feed solutions and a full suite of casino and skill-based games.
Vitalii Kulchevych, Chief Technology Officer at Atlas-IAC, said: “After a stunning year of sport, G2E Asia brings together many of the sector’s luminaries for a timely think tank on the sportsbook scene. G2E 2023 brings together over 95% of all Asian operators and all major industry players to gain a deeper insight into the latest market trends and offer a wide array of networking opportunities. It’s the must-make marketplace for Asia’s flourishing sports betting and igaming sector, so we’re delighted to be back with an even stronger exhibitor presence this year.
At Atlas, we’re solving for how the industry can best provide operators and bettors with engaging, innovative betting experiences across some tent-pole, revenue-driving events this summer – dominated, as ever, by the culmination of the domestic football seasons in Europe, the Champions League, the Ashes cricket, Wimbledon and Roland Garros tennis and the ongoing baseball (MLB) campaign.
“We now provide unrivalled customised platform solutions, industry-leading automation and world-class support. To learn more about Atlas-IAC’s automated technology and the benefits of our platform, just drop us a line, or pop by Stand B1506 where my team and I look forward to welcoming you.
“Furthermore, should any Asian operator or casino be looking to mitigate the potential risk of integrating a new sportsbook, our sportsbook solution can now uniquely underwrite all the trading downside for running its services as a statement of intent and the ability of its underlying platform to deliver in any Asian market.
“The concept behind it is mainly aimed at casino operators or other single product operators, especially ones that aren’t used to a sportsbook solution itself. For example, those who wouldn’t want to have a trading team; they might ostensibly baulk at the typical risks involved in running a sportsbook. Sportsbooks used to be seen by some as a high-risk offering, or a volatile area in which to operate. But our simple concept is, if you are a casino operator, we will integrate as an iframe into your platform – and we will underwrite all the risk. You literally don’t have to burn any fuel managing it, nor worrying about it. We’ll take care of everything. And if there is any downside, as I say, we’ll underwrite that.”
Sergei Efimenko, CEO of Atlas-IAC, added: “G2E Asia is a must-attend event, and there’s a real momentum behind this year’s renewal at the Marina Bay Sands, Singapore’s most iconic hotel and event venue – particularly now the last vestiges of the pandemic have created such a pent-up demand across the planet’s largest continent to reconnect in the real world. It’s fantastic to be back together. I’m thoroughly impressed with the quality, quantity and diversity of the delegates on site, so we can’t wait to catch up with old and new friends alike.
“As for our leading sportsbook platform, we’re supremely confident in the automation. Plus, we know how to manage diverse customer bases, premised on their history and the patterns of behaviour. So, whatever previous concerns may’ve been around operating a sportsbook (e.g. betting just before an event starts, betting at a time where there’s potentially an unreliable feed) we have the tools to spot that and correct for it. As a result, for us, underwriting wasn’t a big challenge, and we are willing to offer that on a competitive revenue-share model for new partners.
“The Atlas-IAC team will be on Stand B1506 throughout the week. Please contact our friendly staff to organise a demonstration of the most modern and thorough platform in the betting and gaming industry.”

Esports Charts Becomes Official Viewership Analytics Partner of StarLadder Budapest Major 2025

Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, has partnered with StarLadder, a pioneering tournament organiser. The Budapest Major 2025 marks a highly anticipated comeback for StarLadder, as it is their first Counter-Strike Major since 2019 and a significant return to the top-tier esports arena.
As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event. This will empower organisers, teams, sponsors and fans with unparalleled transparency and a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.
Artyom Odintsov, Co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts, said: “We are thrilled and proud to provide viewership analytics for StarLadder for the Budapest Major 2025. Since both Esports Charts and StarLadder are Ukraine-born companies, we share similar values and deal with similar challenges, which brings us even closer.
“It’s genuinely exciting to follow how viewership will develop at this Major. But knowing the expertise, drive, and passion that the organizers are bringing, I have no doubt we’ll witness some incredible things happen in Budapest.

Renowned for its innovation and reliability, the company has organised some of the industry’s most iconic events.

Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Sales and Partnerships at StarLadder, said: “We’ve been working with Esports Charts since their founding and have always valued their professionalism and integrity. In a market where reliable data is essential, Esports Charts provides honest, transparent numbers, exactly the kind of insights sponsors and stakeholders rely on when assessing the potential reach of a World Championship event.

The Starladder Budapest Major 2025 will be held from November 24 to December 14 in Budapest, Hungary. The event will bring together the world’s top 32 Counter-Strike 2 teams to compete for a $1.25 million prize pool and one of the most prestigious titles in esports.
