GAMEPLAI SECURES £1.5M INVESTMENT FROM INDUSTRY HEAVYWEIGHTS TO ACCELERATE GROWTH
GamePLAI, an emerging supplier of automated trading products for global sportsbooks, has secured funding from a group of heavyweight industry names, including Pinnacle’s former trading director Marco Blume, as it bids to expand its market footprint.
This milestone financing sees the breakthrough algorithm-driven pricing and modelling specialist enter the next phase of its evolution, having originally seeded its growth as a graduate of the Techstars Sports Accelerator and Sportradar’s Acceleradar program, both start-up initiatives which offer strategic guidance and formative early-stage investment.
The new financing will be used to accelerate GamePLAI’s growth at a pivotal point across worldwide markets, supporting its technology and product roadmap for the next 12 months ahead of a summer of defining sporting highlights, notably the Copa America and Euro 2024, alongside the culmination of current NBA campaign and the upcoming renewal of the MLB season.
Donal Barron has also been officially appointed as Chairman, a role which coalesces his proven record of scaling businesses and positioning them for success. His senior appointment provides another timely signal of intent as to GamePLAI’s vision for the future.
GamePLAI, whose modelling team consists entirely of PhD physicists with an underlying passion for sports, is applying these combined abilities to bring unique modelling and automation to the sports sphere. Leveraging official data, GamePLAI promises to deliver a step-change solution which is premised on a fresh and objective approach to automated odds generation.
Building on its already live Micro Markets solution, GamePLAI will soon launch an extensive player-props offering, including an innovative Player Micros product for soccer ahead of two high-profile international soccer tournaments, invariably key drivers for annual turnover and new-account acquisition.
Graham Savage, Co-Founder of GamePLAI, said: “At GamePLAI, we’re harnessing the gains in automation seen in other tech sectors and bringing them to the sports betting industry, with more accurate pricing and automation which reduces the manual overhead of risk management for trading teams.
“Our growing group of partners are benefiting from a series of never-before-seen, player-focused markets that engage fans both pre-game and in-play. These innovative and original markets afford customers a more personalised betting experience around their favourite players. Our mission is to become the premium supplier of automated and quantitative driven sports solutions within the industry and we feel very fortunate to have the backing of our investors in delivering our vision.”

QTech Games hosts SiGMA Asia Invitational Charity Golf Day; support local orphanages in Philippines
QTech Games and Song88, two powerhouses of the emerging markets and Asia-facing landscape, have renewed their support for the SiGMA Asia Invitational Golf Day, a popular charity event that kick-starts the influential iGaming summit which runs from 3-5 June in Manila.
Having hosted the inaugural event last year to universal acclaim, this golf day not only lifts the curtain on one of the sector’s best-attended C-Suite conferences, but also raises vital funds for a broad spectrum of good local causes throughout the Philippines at a challenging economic time.
In 2023, The event donated over $20,000 (1million PHP) through the SiGMA Foundation to help people in need – and could not have been done without the support of renowned suppliers like Aviatrix, Blueprint Gaming, Continent 8, Naga Games, Dragoon Soft and Habanero, who came together with QTech Games and Song88 to raise the much-needed monies. Now, QTech Games and Song88, alongside their partners, are aiming to match and surpass that total for the SiGMA Foundation at this year’s renewal, which will again be held on the opening morning of SiGMA Asia at the magnificent Club Intramuros Golf Course, where jaw-dropping cityscape views intersect with a stunning layout which is carved out around the historic ancient walls of Manila.
In recent months, QTech Games’ videography team has visited the Jose Depiro Formation Center, run by the inspirational missionary priest Joseph Cremona, who is doing such great work to deliver health, housing and education for local low or no-income families and their children. As chronicled in this short video, last year’s funds have already been put towards building two new houses as part of an effort to improve local accommodation and create a hub where its beneficiaries can find security, schooling and an environment in which they can thrive. As part of this ongoing charitable initiative, monies have also been donated to extend an existing concert hall and provide quality new instruments with which promising young musicians can help foster an inspirational and cohesive community for the future.
The golf day will again be organized and held in partnership with Song88, the rising-star sportsbook taking the Far East by storm with a wide variety of sports, exciting player-orientated markets and the latest betting features. Song88 has quickly become one of Asia’s most popular new sportsbooks, painstakingly designed for the demands of Asian customers.
For its part, QTech Games continues to lead the way across developing territories worldwide, thanks to its ever-expanding reach, proprietary gaming tools and services, 24/7 support, and advanced AI technology which combine to bolster its partners’ offerings and elevate the customer experience. QTech Games is setting the gold standard, redefining the future of the online casino industry, with effortless distribution from its definitive one-stop-shop approach for online casino operators, underscored by 80+ providers, over 5,000 casino games and 1,000+ live tables, and counting.
Priest Joseph Cremona said: “We initially set up a music school to help children who would otherwise be idle on the roads, helping to give them a direction in life and develop their talents. Now, though, with the help of the SiGMA Foundation, we are doing so much more in the local community and it’s fantastic to see QTech Games and Song88 taking a real interest beyond their helpful donation and pledging to do more again this year. I am of the mindset that you give the rod, not the fish. No-one here wants to live on handouts, they only want the tools and the chance to work their own way out of poverty and provide a better, more sustainable future for current and coming generations.”
The leadership team at QTech Games and Song88 commented: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming friends old and new back to our charity golf day which, of course, doubles as a fantastic networking event and an important platform for local children’s causes. It’s a fun and relaxed way to start the show for our partners and peers, and we plan to hold more of these clubbable get-togethers at forthcoming industry summits.”
“Priest Joseph has been an inspirational figure here over the past 20 years, and our shared vision is to establish a safe sanctuary that promotes health and education to define more promising pathways for local children’s futures. We will continue to work in lockstep with SiGMA and Song88 to create a closer connection around similar charitable efforts which combine business with the pleasure of giving. This industry Invitational always pays fitting testimony to the spirit and camaraderie of the iGaming sector.”
SiGMA Asia added: “Asia’s iGaming pulse beats fastest in Manila. And this June we’re gathering the best in business: from decision-making government officials to an impressive C-suite of industry heavyweights and even some celebrity influencers. SiGMA Asia is leading the charge for change – and charitable projects like this golf day are just the start of how we are returning value to the local communities in which we operate.”
