Push-ups in parks, plank jacks in playgrounds, burpees in boardrooms—with the launch of the #SelfPerformanceChallenge, GR8 Tech and Ready to Fight turned LinkedIn into a high-performance fitness arena, and the iGaming industry rose to the challenge.

Several dozen professionals, from managers to CEOs and founders, joined in from across the world, representing iGaming companies and media groups like SiGMA, HIPTHER, and G3 Media. We saw wall sits with arms raised, skater jumps, overhead walking lunges, mountain climbers, jump rope sessions, and even headstands performed everywhere from stadiums, gyms, and gardens to home offices and city streets.

The challenge was to show what true high performance means: either through a short burst of physical effort or by sharing the story of your most epic professional fail. It all started with a powerful message from Ready to Fight co-founder and undisputed boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk.

“High-performance is about being str8forward. That’s why Ready To Fight and GR8 Tech are launching the Self-Performance Challenge—kicked off by the Undisputed Champion, Oleksandr Usyk. The champion pushes himself every day to stay on top—now he’s calling you to step up,” the initial post by RTF said.

More than just a viral campaign, the challenge reflected what unites GR8 Tech and Ready to Fight: an unwavering commitment to pushing limits and delivering excellence, whether in tech, sport, or business. It offered a glimpse into the shared mindset of GR8 Tech and Ready to Fight—relentless, unapologetic, and built for performance.

Now, with iGB Live! 2025 approaching, the collaboration is moving into a new phase, marked by a distinct heavyweight attitude that will be hard to miss. Stay tuned to GR8 Tech’s website and LinkedIn to be the first to see what happens when a champion’s drive meets GR8 execution.

Game-changing platform solutions provider joins forces with a full-cycle verification platform to improve operators’ customer onboarding and fraud prevention measures

Elantil, the pioneering iGaming platform solutions provider on a mission to redefine how operators and suppliers work together, has announced it has expanded the range of services available via its innovative online marketplace by forming a new partnership with Sumsub, a global full-cycle verification platform.

Offering advanced verification and compliance solutions that support the entire customer journey, Sumsub is a revolutionary product in the iGaming industry that’s capable of verifying users, businesses and transactions while helping manage cases and assisting operators with their fraud prevention.

Built to handle every conceivable ID verification from a single, easy-to-use dashboard, Sumsub offers a true turnkey solution that can be used to orchestrate code-free checks at any stage of the customer lifecycle, resulting in the highest-scoring anti-fraud protection and pass rates globally.

Following the addition of Sumsub’s services to Elantil’s Marketplace, operators will now be able to access the company’s powerful data and document verification platform via a simple one-click integration, with Elantil empowering operators to reach out to the supplier directly to form their own agreements.

Not only does this ensure that Elantil never dictates the length or terms of any contracts, but it also means that clients avoid any additional charges by cutting out the middleman, making it a simple and cost-effective solution that puts complete control back into the hands of the operator.

To benefit from Sumsub’s full-cycle verification platform, operators simply need to submit their request to the supplier and once a deal has been signed, Elantil will take care of all the rest by providing the operator a place where they can configure the credentials they need to enjoy an easy plug-in-and-play integration.

John Debono, Chief Technical Officer at Elantil, said: “Rather than being a run-of-the-mill game aggregation service, Elantil’s Marketplace is an open space where operators can connect with best-in-class content suppliers, no matter what it is they’re seeking. By adding Sumsub’s comprehensive solutions to our growing list of services, we can help improve our clients’ customer onboarding and fraud prevention, and all at a more reasonable price point than our competitors.”

Kris Galloway, Head of iGaming Product at Sumsub, added: “At Sumsub, we’ve always believed there’s a smarter way to tackle iGaming’s trickiest challenges, and just like Elantil, we’re not here to follow the rulebook – we’re here to rewrite it. Unlike clunky, monolithic systems, our full-cycle verification platform is built to safeguard the entire player journey, ensuring robust fraud protection and compliance without compromising user experience and pass rates: it is compliance and fraud protection that actually works for the business, not against it. We’re also very excited to connect with Elantil’s clients and help them scale securely, smoothly, and, just like Elantil, with the freedom to focus on growth.”
