Björn Sjöberg has been appointed Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of SlotMatrix, the world’s largest iGaming content platform.

Sjöberg joins the EveryMatrix Group from Evolution Gaming where he spent more than eight years across several senior roles including Head of Key Account Management and more recently Chief Commercial Officer.

Within his role he is responsible for driving forward the commercial success of the SlotMatrix aggregation platform that boasts the largest library of real-money iGaming content with more than 36,000 games and 350+ global providers.

The platform and EveryMatrix Games offering has been further bolstered by the acquisition of Fantasma Games, a high performing studio that offers customers both its existing and a new range of games, while also boosting EveryMatrix’s presence in markets such as North America.

Sjöberg will report to Stian Hornsletten, CEO of EveryMatrix Games and Co-Founder of EveryMatrix.

Ebbe Groes, Group CEO and Co-Founder, EveryMatrix, said: “Björn is a fantastic addition to the senior commercial team. He has years of experience and brings invaluable knowhow that will serve us well as we accelerate both our own games development and continually strengthen third-party content.

“We have stood head and shoulders above our competitors in content for many years and with Björn’s expertise we can take this to new heights.”

Björn Sjöberg, CCO, SlotMatrix, said: “I’m thrilled to join EveryMatrix. I’ve known Stian and members of the senior team for many years and always admired what they’ve achieved in building not just the industry’s fastest growing provider, but also one of the most respected and trusted.

“The Fantasma acquisition is the icing on the cake when it comes to strengthening iGaming’s richest content offering. Looking at the plans we have for this year and ahead, without doubt, we will continue to exceed our customers’ expectations with the best content available.”

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has released Avia Rush, a high-energy crash title designed to deliver excitement and strong engagement.

Set against a cosmic backdrop, Avia Rush challenges players to board a rising shuttle and hold on as multipliers climb.

The objective is to cash out at the right moment. The longer players wait, the greater the potential reward. However, if the shuttle crashes before cashing out, all winnings are lost.

The game features tools that enhance gameplay and keep players coming back. The Crash History bar offers insights into recent rounds, while Dual Betting allows two bets simultaneously, each with different strategies. Auto Cash Out and Auto Play functions provide flexibility for every type of player.

Adding a social and competitive layer, Avia Rush includes a Top 100 Leaderboard tracking daily, monthly, and yearly performance, alongside an in-game Chat feature that brings the community together during each round.

With a max win of 1,000x the bet, mobile-first design, and fast-paced format, Avia Rush is a strong addition to any operator’s instant game portfolio.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Avia Rush is all about quick decisions, risk, and reward, everything crash players love. We’ve added features like dual betting and leaderboards to make the experience more interactive and competitive.

“It’s a great fit for players who enjoy fast action, and we’re excited to see it take off.”
