Revenant Esports’ standout player, Ganesh “SkRossi” Gangadhar, one of India’s most popular esports players who has represented the country in various occasions in VALORANT, has been enlisted by KREO, a pioneering consumer electronics brand catering to gamers and creators, as their first “KREO Athlete.”

Ishan Sukul, the CEO of KREO, expressed his enthusiasm for signing SkRossi as the inaugural KREO Athlete, stating, “We recognized Rossi’s talent even before we started Kreo. India needs more trailblazers in the gaming, esports sectors, individuals who become larger than life and inspire the next 10 million pros. After just one chat with him, we could see he’s destined to do larger things, not just for VALORANT, but for the entire esports sector in India. Our partnership with him is not quite simple, it’s a symbiotic relationship which we’ll both nurture to launch quality gear that brings in the next pros to the arena.”

SkRossi boasts a decorated gaming career encompassing more than 5 years, initially competing in Counter-Strike before transitioning to VALORANT. As a VALORANT competitor, he has earned accolades as one of India’s most distinguished athletes, securing numerous first-place finishes. Notably, he represented Global Esports in Riot Games’ VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) Pacific last year, competing in South Korea.

KREO, founded in 2022, has been pioneering the gaming consumer electronics space with an impressive lineup of products catering PC gamers, mobile gamers, and creators. Backed by prominent investors like Sauce. VC, Chona Family Office, Revant Bhate (Co-founder at Mosaic Wellness), and Bala Sarda (Founder at Vahdam Teas), the brand caters to all the hardware needs of a gamer ranging from audio and video to tripods and mousepads.

Expressing his excitement on being selected as the inaugural KREO Athlete, SkRossi said, “It’s an exhilarating feeling to be chosen as the first KREO Athlete. My objective has always been to continually enhance my skills while also serving as a source of inspiration for budding gamers across the nation. This vision resonates with KREO, and I am eager to collaborate with a brand that recognizes the needs of an average Indian gamer with budget-friendly and trustworthy products.”

In the Indian esports landscape, which has predominantly revolved around mobile gaming, PC esports players like SkRossi have been forging a name for themselves with their impressive dedication and skills in PC gaming. SkRossi’s designation as a KREO Athlete marks a significant milestone in the Indian esports industry, positioning him as one of the few PC esports players to secure an exclusive brand partnership, a testament to 26-year-old player’s stardom.

Rohit Jagasia, the Founder and CEO of Revenant Esports, added, “We are immensely proud to have facilitated this collaboration between our peripherals partner, KREO, and our star athlete, SkRossi. I have had the privilege of knowing SkRossi for years, and his relentless commitment to his craft is truly commendable. Therefore, he is the perfect choice for a KREO Athlete, empowering him to further elevate his status by aligning with a pioneering peripheral brand for gaming. This alliance also underscores Revenant’s commitment to not only signing star athletes but also leveraging all available resources to ensure their optimal growth, both within and outside the gaming realm.”

As a KREO Athlete, SkRossi will have access to official KREO products, and he will play a pivotal role in various KREO activations while contributing to the development of new products tailored to the needs of professional PC gamers.

Solitics launches In-Game Pulse for personalised in-play betting offers

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Solitics has launched In-Game Pulse, a powerful tool that allows operators to turn real-time sports moments into high-impact engagement with bettors.

With In-Game Pulse, operators can respond to goals, plays and key events with personalised in-play betting offers, delivered to players when their attention peaks, not after.

It’s powered by Solitic’s new Follow Engine, which tracks what each bettor is interested in and then automatically delivers tailored campaigns based on those interests.

This means marketers build just one journey, rather than separate ones for each possibility.

In-Game Pulse works by connecting an operator’s user data with a live sports feed, then the Follow Engine adapts a single flow to match each user’s interests in real time.

Marketers can then trigger journeys based on the most important moments in a game – a goal, red card – as and when they happen, meaning they are no longer limited to just user behaviour.

The best part is that each campaign is tailored to the individual bettor, and based on the teams, athletes and events they care about.

This makes In-Game Pulse the perfect solution for personalised in-play betting engagement.

This is an example of how it works.

A team scores a goal. 

All users with that team in their favourites list get notified instantly. 

The messaging is kept really simple:

“Big Moment! Your team just scored. Want to double down on the momentum?”. 

The great thing about In-Game Pulse is that it’s not a workaround or a third-party add-on; instead, it sits within Solitics’ engagement flows.

This means operators and their marketing teams can deliver hyper-personalised campaigns at peak interest, with the speed and control that Solitics has built its reputation on.

Guy Shemer, VP Product at Solitics, said: “In-Game Pulse will change the game for how marketers engage players with in-play betting communications and offers. 

“In the past, they have had to map out multiple journeys, and this has created a tremendous amount of work, let alone the challenge of pushing communications at the right time. 

“In-Game Pulse does all the heavy lifting here, allowing marketers to engage players in the moment and when their attention peaks, not after. 

“In short, it allows operators to go beyond their own data and react instantly to live sports moments – moments that can drive betting activity.”

Following sharp international growth in 2024, with Latin America attendance up 126%, Asia up 80% with delegates from 30 countries, Africa up 45% with 29 nations represented, and North America up 127%, two additional conference stages were introduced to meet the event’s expanding global appeal.

Each stage will deliver targeted, actionable insights and create market-specific networking opportunities for delegates operating across the covered jurisdictions.

Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, said: “SBC Summit is now a truly global meeting point, so building an agenda that reflects that was the natural next step. 

“With the addition of the Global Markets and Emerging Markets stages, we’re offering market-specific insights—and the networking lounges attached to each stage let delegates connect immediately with the people driving growth in those regions. It’s all about continuing the conversations that start on stage with the people most invested in those markets.”

Global Markets Stage

The Global Markets stage is designed for stakeholders looking to optimise their strategies in established, high-value territories where regulatory frameworks are constantly evolving. Across three days, stakeholders can attend a series of panels focusing on key regions, including Latin America and  Brazil, Western Europe, and North America.

Wednesday – Western Europe Deep Dive: The second day will shift focus to Western Europe’s evolving regulatory landscape, examining how businesses can tackle compliance challenges while leveraging new opportunities. Sessions will address the growing threat of black markets, Italy’s revamped online gambling framework, the Netherlands’ increased regulatory requirements, and potential pathways for iGaming expansion into Finland and the broader Nordic region.

Thursday – North America Analysis: The final day will examine US expansion opportunities following rapid iGaming growth across multiple states. These sessions will explore the rise of alternative betting models, including sweepstakes and prediction markets, alongside the growing popularity of peer-to-peer betting in the region.

Emerging Markets Stage

The Emerging Markets stage will spotlight the most promising regions making waves across the industry. Covering Africa, Eurasia, the Middle East, and Asia, these sessions focus on markets experiencing rising player bases, regulatory reforms, and technological innovations.

Tuesday – Africa Innovation: The opening day will explore mobile-first innovation strategies that are reshaping the African gaming landscape. Sessions will cover payment infrastructure challenges, how operators can successfully engage stakeholders at a local level, and the importance of player protection in the region.

Wednesday – Expansion in Eurasia & the Middle East: Day two will focus on business expansion opportunities in Eurasia, with exciting growth prospects emerging across the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Balkans. Sessions will also examine the potential for expansion into the Middle East, with panels analysing the UAE’s move towards introducing a gambling framework in the region.

Thursday – Asia Growth Potential: The closing day will examine market entry tactics for Asia’s diverse regulatory environments, with sessions covering licensing pathways, cultural localisation, and strategies for long-term, sustainable growth across key markets like India, the Philippines, and Macau.

The Global Markets and Emerging Markets stages make up two of the six conference stages at SBC Summit 2025. These include dedicated stages for technology, affiliation, player protection, and the Super Stage.
