Singular, an international software company, has appointed Phil Garner as the new Managing Director to lead the company’s next phase of growth as a technology provider for its parent Flutter Entertainment, the world’s leading online sports betting and iGaming operator. Phil Garner takes over from George Shamugia, a co-founder and Managing Director at Singular for over a decade, who will now remain active in the business as Chief Architect while continuing to support the leadership transition.

“We are thrilled to welcome Phil as the new Managing Director. His extensive industry experience and profound understanding of our products will support Singular in leveraging our technology to further drive growth to the whole Group and to provide an even better player experience for the brands we support,” says Darko Gacov, Singular’s co-founder and Director of Operations.

Phil Garner isn’t completely new to Singular, as he comes from PokerStars, a brand owned by Flutter Entertainment, and has previously worked closely with the Singular team on various projects. Formerly a Senior Director of Infrastructure and Platform Services, Phil Garner’s work at PokerStars has been instrumental in ensuring a successful cloud transformation journey to AWS. In the past, Phil Garner held tech leadership roles within the Flutter Group in Sports, PAM, and Payments.

Commenting on his appointment, Phil Garner said: “It is an honor to take on the role of Managing Director at Singular and build upon the foundational and continued success. Singular has tremendous potential in powering high-growth markets as part of the Flutter Group and I look forward to working closely with my team as we continue to deliver growth at an accelerated pace and reinforce Singular’s position as tech leader in the sports betting and gaming industry.”

Phil Garner highlights Singular’s opportunity for increased knowledge-sharing with larger Flutter brands, as well as to strengthen its ecosystem with assets from the Flutter Edge, the Group’s competitive advantage where it shares talent, technology, product, and capital across its global portfolio of brands. As he states, “The major focus will be to enable Singular to be part of the Flutter Edge and charge our capabilities in markets with high-growth potential.”

He adds: “I would like to express my gratitude to George Shamugia who played a pivotal role in the brand’s success throughout the years. I’m glad we will continue working together as we pursue our vision and grasp the new opportunities that lay ahead for the team and the business.”

Singular is the brand behind award-winning software solutions that stand out with their flexibility, reliability, and innovation. The expertise of the people, high-quality software, and the company’s unshakeable commitment to its company culture, made Singular a recognized leader in the industry. In 2021, Singular was acquired by Flutter Entertainment and joined its international division, taking place among some of the most innovative and well-known brands in the sports betting and gaming industry.

SPRIBE, the studio behind the legendary crash game, Aviator, has shaken hands on yet another explosive brand ambassador deal, this time with social media content creator and UFC interviewer, Nina Drama.

Nina is widely regarded as the most popular UFC and MMA media influencer in the world, known for her bold tone of voice and no-holds-barred creative style.

She regularly creates UFC and MMA-focused content, interviewing superstar fighters such as Merab Dvalishvili and Alex Pereira (who are also Aviator ambassadors) in her unique style. This has seen her amass over 14 million followers across her social media platforms.

As an Aviator brand ambassador, Nina (real name, Nina-Marie Daniele) will create and run several campaigns to promote the game to her audience.

The partnership really is the perfect fit, with Nina’s fanbase mostly falling into the same Millennial and Gen Z cohorts that engage with Aviator, which sees more than 50 million people a month strap in and take flight to see if they can land the biggest win multiplier.

It also aligns with SPRIBE’s multi-year, multi-million-dollar marketing partnership with the UFC, which sees the Aviator logo and branding appear inside the famous octagon at Fight Night and PPV events.

 

Giorgi Tsutskiridze, CCO at SPRIBE, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Nina Drama to our growing roster of brand ambassador partners, and to be able to directly engage with her large and loyal fan base through some truly unique creative campaigns.

Nina has captivated audiences with her sharp humor, confident charm, and unfiltered interview style — a perfect match for the high-energy world of Aviator.

“We are really excited about the campaigns we will be launching with Nina – they will hit different, for sure, but we expect them to have a strong impact and introduce even more people to the thrills and spills the Aviator provides.”

 

Nina Drama, social media influencer and Aviator ambassador, added: “Playing Aviator is so much fun and I know my audience will love it too! UFC stars Merab Dvalishvili and Alex are also ambassadors and I know together we will make fun, relatable and viral content while also promoting Aviator!”

New Jersey Gambling Revenue Increases in July

Published

This summer is shaping up to be a strong one for Atlantic City casinos and their online gambling operating partners. According to the latest data collected by the state, the total gambling revenue for the casinos and their operating partners from in-state online gambling was nearly $250 million during July. That represents a nearly 27% increase over last year’s total revenue for July, and it comes on top of a more than 23% year-over-year increase measured during the month of June.

In all, revenue this year from online gambling through the end of July topped $1.6 billion, up 23.3% compared to the same period last year, according to a report from the state’s Division of Gaming Enforcement, which regularly tracks gambling revenue earned legally in New Jersey.

The revenue gains from online gambling do not appear to have come at the expense of in-person gambling this summer, according to the DGE data. Revenue from gambling at the casinos also grew in both June and July, although at more modest rates, with year-to-date collections totaling $1.66 billion through the end of July, the report said.

Amid the online-gambling revenue upswing, state policymakers decided earlier this summer to increase the state tax levied on legal online gambling offered by casinos and their operating partners.

The online gambling tax hike, as well as an increase in the state tax levied on mobile sports betting, came as part of a broader plan to raise an additional $600 million in annual revenue for the state budget.

The two gambling tax hikes, which went into effect on July 1, are projected to increase the revenues the state collects from casino taxes and fees by more than $200 million annually, according to estimates from the Department of the Treasury.

According to the report issued by Stockton University, which is based in Atlantic County, the casino industry’s gross gambling revenues totaled nearly $5.7 billion in 2024.

Last year, the total from taxes and fees levied on casino operators in New Jersey topped $880 million, according to a report issued earlier this year by Stockton University.

This included $572 million in revenue that went directly into New Jersey’s Casino Revenue Fund, the report said. That fund, by law, benefits programs and services for senior citizens and disabled residents.

In all, online gambling on traditional casino games, like poker and blackjack, netted casino operators $2.4 billion in gross revenue last year, followed by slots, $2.1 billion; table games, $699.7 million; mobile sports betting, $486.5 million; and in-person sports betting, $6.5 million, according to the report, which cited state data.

And even before the increased state tax rates that were put in place earlier this summer, the tax revenue generated by casino gambling in New Jersey was trending up, the report said.
