Anzu Becomes Exclusive In-Game AdTech Provider for Saber Interactive’s Upcoming Dakar Desert Rally
Anzu and Saber Interactive partner to bring advertisers into the highly anticipated Dakar Desert Rally when it launches this year on PC and consoles
In-game advertising company Anzu has secured an exclusive deal with Saber Interactive, the global game publisher and developer, to offer advertisers a chance to communicate with their audiences via the highly anticipated upcoming racer Dakar Desert Rally.
The new AAA title is the official game of Dakar Rally, the largest rally race on the planet, hosted by the Amaury Sport Organisation and broadcast each year across 70 TV channels in 190 countries. 1,065 drivers and 578 vehicles took part in 2021’s race, and clips of the rally have been viewed online by over 59.8M people, with an additional 76.8M Facebook and Instagram story views.
Fans worldwide have been anticipating news of a new official Dakar rally video game title. This past December, Saber Interactive revealed that the title would launch in 2022 and feature an enhanced Dakar rally experience with over 30 stages of full rally racing, an immense open world with seasons and dynamic weather, official road books to navigate, and a garage stocked with licensed vehicles, including motorcycles, cars, trucks, quads, and SSVs.
The game’s development team is committed to creating an immersive game experience that faithfully brings the Dakar Rally to gamers. Anzu is helping the team replicate that; advertisers will be able to run their banner and video ads within Anzu’s in-game ad placements, which will take the form of 3D objects like roadside billboards and banners. They will also be able to take advantage of a variety of custom integration options, including custom vehicles which can be painted with brand colors, logos, and even have the driver wear a custom uniform. There are also options for roadside flags that can be branded with a product logo and different colors, and garage takeovers, where brands can add custom wall banners and items to decorate the building.
The non-disruptive nature and expert optimization of Anzu’s ad placements also mean brands will benefit from extremely high engagement rates without disrupting the player experience. Advertisers will also benefit from the low fraud rates associated with in-game advertising. HUMAN reports that Anzu’s IVT score for mobile is 0.16% and for PC is 0.47%. Comscore also reports a 0.39% score for video and 0.44% for display campaigns, compared to a 6% benchmark. Anzu also works with other industry leaders to measure ad viewability, fraud levels, and brand impact.
Alex Yerukhimovich, VP Games, Anzu, said: “We’ve been working closely with Saber Interactive to ensure our ad placements are perfectly positioned to enhance both the player and advertising experience. This is a great opportunity for advertisers to showcase their campaigns in a visually stunning AAA title, and for players to experience races with real ads that are relevant to the setting alongside the track. Just like they would expect to see if they were watching a real race, making the experience all the more authentic.
More and more advertisers are making in-game advertising a larger part of their digital ad strategies. As the anticipation continues to grow around this title, we’re looking forward to bringing many into the Dakar experience to reach its millions of diverse and dedicated fans who stretch across the entire globe.”
Our Saber Porto team has been passionately working on Dakar Desert Rally and is focused on making this one of the biggest and most authentic rally racing games ever,” said Todd Hollenshead, Head of Publishing at Saber Interactive. “Our goal is to bring Dakar to life in a realistic and fun way, and it’s been great to see that passion mirrored by the talented team at Anzu through their industry-leading technology and expertise. We’re working closely together to ensure these ads are implemented in a way that is immersive and serve to help faithfully recreate the real-life rally experience.”

Abios, a global leader in esports data and odds provision and part of the Kambi Group, has launched a full ebasketball odds feed with accompanying stats and real-time streams, creating an all-in-one solution for sportsbooks looking to offer continuous content for basketball fans. It is based on Abios’ partnership with betting content and data supplier BETER.
Esoccer became one of the most bet-on verticals on the Kambi network after the launch of Abios’ odds feed and to build on its success Abios has launched ebasketball, based on BETER`s proprietary ESportsBattle tournaments. Ebasketball will be added to Kambi’s comprehensive Esports betting options, as well as direct from Abios as part of its wider esports portfolio.
With 3,000+ monthly events, ebasketball provides a digital counterpart to NBA and other major basketball leagues. It offers consistent content for operators, allowing them to deliver engaging, 15-minute matches in NBA2K during the off-season and between high-tier matches.
Abios’ all-in-one solution for ebasketball includes an odds feed, stats, and real-time streams, enabling users to stay on-site to consume the content.

Anton Janér, Managing Director and Founder at Abios, said: “Seeing the popularity of esoccer among our partners, we’re thrilled to create a similar solution for ebasketball. With its easy-to-understand nature and engaging gameplay, we’re confident it will help sportsbooks attract and retain fans of major basketball leagues and fill in the gaps in the seasonal sports calendar.”
Chuck Robinson, Chief Revenue Officer at BETER, said: “Fast-paced esports contests are increasingly vital for operators looking to fill gaps in their offerings, providing fresh opportunities for both acquisition and retention, and meeting the demands of the growing audience of Millennials and Gen Z.
“The key to delivering an immersive betting experience lies in reliable data and high-quality, accurate odds. BETER’s role as a trusted provider of live data, 24/7 streaming, and odds for esports is further highlighted by our long-term collaboration with Abios. By leveraging our ESportsBattle tournaments, Abios is enhancing its offerings, delivering engaging and high-value experiences for their operator partners.

FBM Foundation’s ‘Treats for Our Champions’ initiative brings joy and essential aid to Subic’s indigenous children
In the spirit of Halloween, the FBM Foundation brought smiles and support to the indigenous children of Subic through its heartwarming “Treats for Our Champions” initiative. Partnering with St. Francis Learning Center Foundation, Inc., the Foundation aimed not only to provide essential goods but also to create a day filled with joy, tradition, and Halloween cheer.
The FBM Foundation, in partnership with St. Francis Learning Center Foundation, Inc., organized the “Treats for Our Champions” event. This initiative allowed for the donation of 60 sacks of rice, 1,500 assorted canned goods, 50 packs of condiments, and 60 packs of milk. Beyond these essential supplies, the children enjoyed a Halloween celebration filled with treats and cultural pride. Traditional Indigenous dance performances and role-playing activities organized by the children themselves offered a heartfelt showcase of their heritage and talent, adding color and cultural significance to the day.
“We went beyond the donation in this event by bringing a meaningful experience that nurtured joy, pride, and community spirit. Seeing the children’s smiles and hearing their laughter as they exchanged goodies truly underscored the success of this initiative,” stated Lulu Barreras, FBM Foundation Project Coordinator in the Philippines.
Alongside the donations, the FBM Foundation distributed Halloween-themed treats, including candies and small toys, which brought an extra dose of happiness to the children. The event was met with touching moments, such as children who had already received toys kindly returning them, saying they wanted to share with other kids. This heartwarming behavior demonstrated the strong community values instilled by the caregivers at St. Francis Learning Center Foundation.
Part of the initiative was also made possible through the “Keepy-Uppy Charity Challenge” success, a partnership celebrated between FBM Foundation and FBMDS, the online casino gaming provider from the group, during the G2E Las Vegas casino gaming trade-show.
Booth visitors joined this challenge with enthusiasm, where each keepy-uppy added $1 to support meaningful causes. Thanks to everyone’s involvement, FBM Foundation raised nearly $1,000, which helped bring the “Treats for Our Champions” event to life. This collective effort turned fun into impactful support for the indigenous children of Subic, making the day truly special.
The FBM Foundation’s dedication to supporting communities extends beyond material contributions. Through meaningful partnerships with organizations like St. Francis Learning Center Foundation, Inc., the Foundation continues to build and nurture relationships within communities, helping to create brighter futures for those most in need.
