SideQuest Gamers Hub purchases 50,000 CCT from CC Technology to go carbon neutral

Carbon Credit Technology, a blockchain-based climate tech project opening access to the regulated EU Emission Trading System (ETS), partners with leading UK esports group SideQuest Gamers Hub. Through the partnership, SideQuest purchases the necessary amount of CCT tokens needed to offset its entire carbon footprint for its UK operations in 2022.

Sixty-three percent of UK citizens believe businesses should take immediate action to counter climate change. Data from CDP indicates companies with outlined public renewable energy or greenhouse-gas reduction targets improve their competitive positioning and compliance. While many businesses and organizations support taking environmentally-conscious actions like investing in carbon credit markets, a mechanism helping ween the world of carbon, the largest carbon credit marketplace—the EU’s ETS—remains locked to all non-EU businesses and organizations.

The partnership with CC Technology enables SideQuest Gamers Hub, the UK’s largest esports community with more than 75,000 active members, to become carbon neutral by purchasing enough CCT tokens to cover its entire UK operations for a year. CCT is the first and only cryptocurrency backed by European Union Allowance (EUA), the most traded carbon credits in the world, providing access to the EU ETS. CC Technology helps non-EU businesses like SideQuest invest in carbon-reducing initiatives that contribute to the battle against climate change.

CC Technology leverages blockchain technology to promote an action-based solution to achieve the goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and recently joined the World Economic Forum’s Crypto Sustainability Coalition. The company purchases carbon credit certificates, which it then tokenizes into CCT tokens on the eco-friendly Algorand blockchain. Each CCT represents one kilogram of European carbon allowances. All tokens were minted at the genesis and will be distributed according to a predefined schedule, enabling retail consumers and small businesses, who have until now lacked access to the EU ETS market, the opportunity to take part.

“We are beyond elated to work with the UK’s largest esports hub, empowering them to become carbon neutral,” says Zhi, Founder and CEO of CC Technology. “It is important for us at CC Technology to collaborate with businesses that genuinely care about the environment and understand the importance of achieving net-zero carbon emissions in the not-too-distant future.”

“We are really impressed with CC Technology’s project, and saw working with them as a great way to become carbon neutral,” says Zhaorong Chen, CEO of SideQuest Gamers Hub. “At SideQuest we aren’t just doing this for good publicity, we are passionate about taking care of the environment, and any initiative we can take to contribute to reducing carbon emissions is worth it.”

EGT will present its latest developments for the B2 Saloon and casino markets in Spain during FIJMA 2024, which will take place on 07-09 May. Alejandro Mosquera, director of the local office of the company, shared: “We have chosen to show the products that have the greatest potential for the country, and I am confident that our selection can offer something to everyone – to those, who are about to start their gaming business now, and also to those who want to make their business even more successful. We will be waiting for all of them at stand C17-C19.”

Among EGT’s newest proposals, that are expected to generate huge interest among visitors to the exhibition, are the multilevel jackpot Sands Princess AWP and the latest addition to the top-performing jackpot Bell Link AWP – the Bell Link Plus multigame, both of which are designed especially for the B2 Saloon market.

Sands Princess AWP will take players to the kingdom of Egypt, where each of the 5 levels can be won with any bet. The 4 games of the jackpot: Egyptian Tale, Pharaoh’s Desert, Sands Spirit and Mystic Dawn, will present to those eager for adventures and untold riches numerous opportunities for winning, but only the boldest ones will be able to reach the two linked progressive levels and turn sand into gold.

Bell Link Plus joins Bell Link AWP jackpot to add even more diversity to the choice of the Spanish gaming audience. The multigame’s 5 titles: Book of Realm, Burning Hot, 40 Super Hot, 20 Super Hot and Shining Crown, will dive players into the fascinating world of some of the most popular games of the company, now enriched with more chances for winning and entertainment.

Both Bell Link Plus multigame and Sands Princess jackpot will be housed in the Phoenix AWP cabinet – another product, designed specifically for the B2 Saloon market in Spain, which will make its debut on local level at the exhibition. Featuring 27-inch monitors and multiple ergonomic features, this model offers maximum comfort, while the video and audio capabilities, along with the latest EGT software, guarantee an optimal gaming experience.

The guests at the EGT stand will have the opportunity to see the new Premio Ganador multigame for the B2 Saloon market as well, which is expected to be available in the country in the near future and grab the attention of local players with its attractive features offering a lot of bonuses.

The selection will be complemented by the other well-known B2 Saloon cabinets and games, as well as some of the slot products with greatest potential for the country such as the General cabinets and the bestsellers Bell Link and Gods & Kings Link. The latest jackpot proposals Supreme Combo Link and Sheng Sheng Bu Xi, which were launched just a few months ago and have received very positive feedback, will also be showcased.

EGT Digital will demonstrate its rich portfolio of iGaming solutions as well, including instant and slot games, as well as the in-house developed “all-in-one” betting platform X-Nave, which provides operators with a complete solution for building and maintaining a successful online business.

“We will be delighted to welcome everyone who is interested in our products on our stand at FIJMA,” concluded Mr. Mosquera. “I believe that this year’s participation will be very fruitful just like the previous editions and we will receive many inquiries. We will be happy to continue the conversations with our partners and potential new customers in EGT’s new office in Madrid, which is equipped with a spacious showroom, where they will be able to see and test our developments on site once again. Its official opening will be on May 6 and we will be glad to share this experience with all our friends.”

PRAGMATIC PLAY HITS THE SWEET SPOT WITH FRUITY TREATS

Published

Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, has added Fruity Treats to its collection of clusters pays Slots. 

Five or more fruit symbols must connect horizontally or vertically to award a win in this vibrant 7×7 title, which features a variation of the popular multiplier spots mechanic. 

At the start of each spin, four marked spots of different colours take up random positions on the grid. If a win forms over a marked spot, a starting multiplier of 5x, 10x, 15x or 20x (depending on the spot colour) will be activated. Each time a winning combination lands on a marked spot after a tumble, the multiplier is applied to the win and then increases by its starting value.  

Hitting at least three candy scatters on a spin awards entry to the bonus game with 10 free spins. During the feature, which can be retriggered with five additional free spins, activated multipliers from marked spots do not reset between free spins, potentially leading to massive wins. 

Fruity Treats is the latest cluster pays Slot in Pragmatic Play’s multi-award-winning range, joining recent hit Sugar Rush 1000. 

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “The roaming multiplier spots feature in Fruity Treats sets it apart from other successful cluster pays Slots in the Pragmatic Play portfolio, with marked spots staying sticky in the bonus game for even greater win potential.” 

Pragmatic Play currently produces up to eight new Slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through a single API.
