ParlayBay recruits leading iGaming veterans as brand ambassadors
ParlayBay, the provider of innovative sports betting games, has added a stellar list of iGaming veterans as brand ambassadors as part of its mission to disrupt the sports betting industry.
Steve Schrier, former head of commercial at Ash Gaming, Chief Commercial Officer at SG Digital and currently owner of his own consultancy and advisory business; Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and founder of SBC and OddsLife; Tony Plaskow, Commercial Director at Black Cow Technology, co-founder of Pixiu Gaming and Director of Playzido; and Ben Cleminson, Director of Square in the Air Communications, will be assisting the start-up as it seeks to deliver a game-changing experience for operators and their players.
ParlayBay, which was unveiled in September 2021, is bringing real-money in-play games to market that take the key aspects of sports betting and blend them with exciting experiences from casino, delivering them to players in a refined, modern package that features a slick and fast UI to accentuate the experience.
Patrick Nordwall, CEO at ParlayBay, said: “We are very happy to welcome Steve, Rasmus, Tony and Ben as ParlayBay brand ambassadors.
“This is a very exciting time for the company as we build out our games portfolio and introduce them to more operators and players all over the world.
“The guys have fantastic experience in the industry, great contact books and we are sure they will prove invaluable ambassadors as we push to make sports betting even more engaging for players.”
All products in ParlayBay’s portfolio offer fast real-time odds and gameplay, consisting of short rounds, with players able to enjoy re-buy, cash-out, leaderboards and other promotional, engagement and social tools, like free bets, prize drops and in-game tombola raffles.
To make acquisition and engagement as seamless as possible, barriers to play are removed by the games appealing to the broadest possible customer base, meaning that expert knowledge of sports betting stats is not required by players.
CEO Patrick Nordwall, Head of Math & Models James McKenzie and Sales Manager William Löfqvist will be attending next week’s ICE London show at ExCeL London.

Affilka by SOFTSWISS Wins at EGR B2B Awards for Second Year Running
Affilka by SOFTSWISS, an affiliate management software platform, has secured the title of Affiliate Software Supplier at the prestigious EGR B2B Awards for the second consecutive year. The awards ceremony took place on 3 July at London’s iconic The Roundhouse, where the iGaming industry gathered to celebrate the most successful and innovative companies of the past year.
The consecutive win reinforces Affilka’s growing leadership in iGaming affiliate marketing software. Over the past 12 months, the product has consistently evolved, launching a series of powerful new features.
Among the recent updates is the Cross-Brand Player Duplicate Detection tool, which identifies overlapping player accounts across different casino brands within a single affiliate program. The platform also introduced the new Traffic Report, which provides real-time, click-to-registration and click-to-FTD metrics with multi-dimensional filters. Another new feature allows affiliates to access data on their marketing campaigns and tracking links directly via API, enabling automated data extraction and custom integrations.
At the end of last year, Affilka rolled out the Geo-Distributed Redirect feature, which boosts site visits by reducing redirect times from 1.5 seconds to 300–500 milliseconds, and the Cohort Analysis Report, which offers deeper insights into player behaviour.
Anastasia Borovaya, Head of Affilka by SOFTSWISS, commented on the recognition: “Winning this award two years in a row is an incredible achievement for our team. It reflects our hard work, creativity, and deep commitment to the continuing improvement of our platform. What makes this win special is knowing that the tools we build are already helping our partners solve real challenges. Whether refining traffic strategies or making smarter, data-driven decisions, we’re proud Affilka plays a part in their success.”
Thanks to ongoing updates and the introduction of new innovative features, Affilka by SOFTSWISS now supports over 450 brands, 400 thousand affiliate accounts, and 98 million player registrations.

In addition, Valentina Bagniya, CMO at SOFTSWISS, was named B2B Marketer of the Year for transforming the company’s marketing function into a powerful brand engine within the iGaming industry.
