Bridging the gap between functional hardware and considered design, Phantum debuts its first line of high-performance mousepads. The collection is built for users who demand precision but won’t compromise on aesthetics. Developed in Paris by founders Amine G. and Victor B., the mousepads combine minimalist design with carefully selected materials and collectible elements, positioning the product as a functional tool and a design object.

Created for gamers and digital creatives, Phantum’s mousepads emphasize tactile performance while remaining visually restrained. The surfaces are crafted using Japanese Poron and advanced fabrics chosen for their durability, responsiveness, and sensory qualities. Each product is designed to enhance, not distract from, the overall composition of a desk setup.

The company’s visual language draws on space, transparency, and disappearance themes, an intentional move to create objects that integrate flawlessly into a work or play environment. “Every detail reflects our DNA: clean, sharp, and futuristic,” said co-founder Amine G., whose tech-focused YouTube channel, MRG TECH, has built a following of over 200,000 subscribers. “We create tools that disappear under the hand but leave a lasting impression through design, feel, and finish.”

Phantum’s founders launched the brand after finding few products that met their standards for both performance and design integrity. The debut line is only the beginning: the team is developing glass mousepads and matching performance sleeves, with plans to expand into a broader ecosystem of desk essentials. Each new release will continue to feature collectible packaging designed to add narrative value rather than act as decoration.

Though recently launched, Phantum is already drawing attention beyond France, particularly in Latin America, where design-conscious gamers have begun to integrate the mousepads into their setups. The first collection is now available on phantum.co, with new formats and accessories to follow.

Oddsgate adds ISO 37001 and ISO 37301 to its certification portfolio, reinforcing its long-term strategy for integrity, trusted growth, and positioning as an ethical tech partner.

In a sector where regulatory evolution is constant and reputational risk travels fast, certifications alone are not the story, but the mindset behind them is. While new ISO achievements might go unnoticed by those accustomed to industry headlines, the recent ISO 37001 (Anti-Bribery Management) and ISO 37301 (Compliance Management) certifications obtained by Oddsgate represent more than procedural victories. They mark a conscious, strategic reinforcement of the company’s internal culture and operational DNA.

Rather than responding reactively to compliance demands, Oddsgate continues to build a structure where ethics, transparency, and control are not just safeguards but enablers of trust and performance. These certifications confirm that the company doesn’t just meet international standards, it anticipates them, translating complex regulatory requirements into clear, measurable practices across its platform and business model.

“Our pursuit of these certifications was not driven by obligation, but by conviction. At Oddsgate, we view compliance as a catalyst, not a constraint. It enables our partners to grow securely and gives regulators and stakeholders something that has become a competitive asset: trust”, according to Tiago Almeida, Oddsgate’s CEO.

The ISO 37001 certification focuses on implementing a preventive and responsive anti-bribery management system. It covers a full spectrum of practices, from due diligence and risk assessment to internal audits, training, and whistleblowing mechanisms. It applies to both active and passive bribery and is compatible with other management systems already adopted by the company, such as ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 27001 (Information Security), and ISO 22301 (Business Continuity).

ISO 37301, meanwhile, raises the bar for how organization’s structure and monitor compliance at scale. Unlike its predecessor, ISO 19600, which served only as a guideline, ISO 37301 is a certifiable standard. It evaluates how a company maps its legal and regulatory obligations, integrates ethical conduct into its operations, and engages leadership in continuous improvement and governance. This includes everything from contractual commitments to internal codes of ethics and industry-specific requirements.

These certifications serve a dual function: mitigate legal and reputational risks while unlocking new value through stronger partnerships, regulatory credibility, and long-term operational resilience.

“More than responding to what’s expected, we believe in building systems that anticipate and adapt,” adds Tiago Almeida. “Compliance, when treated as strategy, can attract the right partners, generate business stability, and protect innovation from unnecessary risk.”

Oddsgate’s compliance architecture is not an isolated layer but is deeply integrated with its platform offering and customer experience. From onboarding new operators to processing data securely and managing affiliate networks, the company has developed internal controls that scale with client growth while respecting local and international regulations.
