Innovative Technology launch Alerts App for age restricted access

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Innovative Technology (ITL) have recently launched a Alerts App to complement their product range which provides access control to age related products, services and venues. Customers who use ITL’s age and identity verification solutions can now enable remote alerts to a mobile device when an age check is required.

ITL Product Manager, Dr Andrew O’Brien said, “We have several AI-based age check solutions that can be used at different touchpoints within an organisation. The app links all devices deployed at various locations on the premises. If we take a casino for example, ICU Lite can be fully integrated in a gaming machine to prevent underage play, and a standalone MyCheckr device can be deployed at the entrance picking up anyone underage trying to enter. Both can talk to the Alerts App to send notifications to staff that someone potentially underage is either entering the premises or trying to play on a machine. The Alerts App can be installed on an android phone or tablet, allowing instant communication and centralised management of all connected devices. Any customers already using our age check technology who would like to trial the app can contact their sales representative for more information”

Park Holidays UK are a great example of how the new app, connected to a MyCheckr, is being utilised to prevent children entering Adult Gaming Centres (AGC), alerting staff of any attempted underage entry. Jay Muzzell, Head of EPOS, AV & Security for Park Holidays UK Ltd said, “Adding MyCheckr with the Alerts App into the first two parks will help us to bolster our Challenge 25 policy and makes it easier for staff when deciding if they need to ask customers for ID.”

ITL are also successfully trialling the Alerts App with tobacco agents, operators of casinos, and motorway service stations with gaming areas.

Explaining the features in more detail Andrew said, “The app informs staff of any pending age approval requests which they can either accept or deny remotely without having to leave their post. If a physical ID check is needed, it clearly highlights the location of the pending request. As with all our age check devices, no personal data is ever stored so privacy is assured. The app also logs all activity, providing evidence of age checks performed, time and location. This electronic record is created automatically, and a report can be produced for compliance audits. Young looking staff can also be pre-approved to stop them activating an alert. Not only does this technology help prevent minors accessing age restricted areas and services – it also enhances the overall customer experience and improves staff efficiency.”

Concluding Andrew said, “With ongoing government regulations regarding the tightening of age verification in the gambling sector, the need and uptake of automated age check technology will undoubtedly increase. We can assist by providing a tool which is dependable, accurate and affordable. And to complete our offering, with the Alerts App we can put notifications, information and remote management capabilities in the hands of store or venue staff to elevate access control management.”

A streamer has accepted a fine of DKK 10,000 for using Twitch to distribute games to game providers without a license to offer games in Denmark.

The streamer has in several cases advertised game providers without a Danish license through his Twitch channels.

The Danish Gambling Authority discovered the violation in 2023 and reported the streamer to the police.

The police have assessed that the streamer has violated the law, and the streamer has been fined DKK 10,000, which was the amount recommended by the Danish Gambling Authority.

This is the second time that the Danish Gambling Authority has reported a streamer for distributing illegal games and has been successful in the case.

Team Vitality accelerates global growth with acquisition of Bigetron Esports

Published

on

Reading Time: 4 minutes

 

The acquisition will see Team Vitality continue to forge its path to becoming one of the only truly international esports organisations, by entering the mobile gaming market in new regions and markets

Leading esports club, Team Vitality, is proud to announce the acquisition of Indonesian esports organisation, Bigetron Esports, following a deal with one of the most powerful mobile gaming esports brands globally. The move will strengthen Team Vitality’s presence in the mobile gaming market as well as extend the brand’s reach further into the Southeast Asian region, continuing to forge its path to become a truly global, multifaceted presence across all elements of esports.

Bigetron by Vitality: A strategic move into Southeast Asia and mobile gaming

The acquisition places Team Vitality in a strategically important gaming market – Southeast Asia. With a population of over 270 million, and more than 30% of whom are under 30, Indonesia represents a vibrant and highly engaged audience for esports. The country is home to over 100 million gamers, making it the fourth-largest gaming market in the world. Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, is also one of the fastest-growing regions for mobile gaming, with a remarkable 20% year-over-year revenue growth.

As part of the move, Bigetron Esports’ brand identity will change to ‘Bigetron by Vitality’, to show respect to the club’s local legacy while allowing Team Vitality to integrate the brand authentically and exclusively into all future mobile gaming activities. Bigetron Esports CEO, Edwin Chia, alongside Team Vitality’s Co-Founder CEO, Nicolas Maurer and Corporate Director of Global Operations, Danny Engels, will work together as the respective leads for Vitality’s mobile gaming entity.

This acquisition marks a significant step in Team Vitality’s expansion into mobile gaming, following the 2024 acquisition of Bigetron’s Women’s Mobile Legends: Bang Bang roster. Prompting a deeper exploration of the mobile esports space, Bigetron represents a fantastic addition to help introduce and grow the Vitality brand within this fast-growing and dynamic segment of the industry.

Bigetron Esports has built a formidable reputation in the mobile gaming world, with an impressive social media presence across multiple platforms, totaling over 6.8 million followers across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp. As part of this acquisition, all Bigetron social media channels will be rebranded to align with Team Vitality as ‘ Bigetron by Vitality’, integrating seamlessly into the broader Team Vitality network.

Bigetron is one of the few Southeast Asian organisations with an established footprint in four key mobile gaming titles, a strong competitive track record, and existing partnerships with gaming industry leaders Moonton and Tencent. Following the deal, Team Vitality will be represented by the organisation’s existing key rosters and talent including:

  • Men’s Mobile Legends Bang Bang Team: Competing in the Mobile Legends Bang Bang Professional League Indonesia (MPL ID), the organization recently secured 3rd place in the highly competitive league operated by game publisher Moonton, with a notable peak viewership of an astonishing 4 million.
  • PUBG Mobile Team: With total prize winnings exceeding $1.2 million, Bigetron has made multiple World Championship appearances, including the 2024 World Championship, and holds World Championship titles from 2019 and 2020.
  • Free Fire Team: Champions of the Free Fire World Series (FFWS) Indonesian Fall 2024. The team also earned a spot in the Free Fire World Series Grand Finals 2024.
  • Honor of Kings Team: The Honor of Kings team recently triumphed in the Indonesian Qualifier for the HoK Invitational Season 3 and became a partner team in the newly established Professional Honor of Kings League in Indonesia.
  • Women’s Mobile Legends Bang Bang team: Following acquiring the team in 2024, Bigetron will offer additional support, resources and infrastructure to further support the roster ahead of the Esports World Cup in 2025.
  • Additionally, Bigetron has assembled a lineup of Southeast Asian brand ambassadors with a combined social media following of over 27 million, all of whom will further amplify the clubs partnership with Team Vitality throughout the region

All of the above teams that qualify for the Esports World Cup will represent Team Vitality and compete under the Team Vitality banner and team name. Following this, teams competing in Mobile Legends, PUBG Mobile, Honor of Kings, and Free Fire tournaments will do so as Bigetron by Vitality, marking the full integration of Bigetron into the Team Vitality network.

TEAM VITALITY IN FIGURES

  • +170 employees in 3 different offices in Paris, Berlin and Jakarta (+50 employees)
  • 19 teams (+5 teams)
  • 15 games (+3 games)
  • 10 million owned followers worldwide (+6.8 million)

Ambitious international plans for 2025

With ambitious plans for international expansion, Team Vitality is setting its sights on reaching new heights in esports throughout 2025. This year, the organisation is focused on securing victories, strengthening its legacy, and pioneering the esports industry into the new generation. This commitment not only supports Team Vitality as one of the world’s leading esports powerhouses but also contributes towards the broader success of the organisation on a global scale.

“We are thrilled to announce our acquisition of Bigetron Esports.” said Nicolas Maurer, CEO of Team Vitality “As the popularity of mobile gaming continues to soar, particularly with younger generations growing up on mobile games, Team Vitality is proud to support shaping the long-term future of mobile gaming esports together with the Bigetron leadership team. This acquisition marks an important step in our internationalisation as well as becoming the best gaming organization in the world.”

“The merger was driven by our shared vision with Team Vitality to inspire and empower gamers to achieve greatness through innovation, collaboration, and relentless dedication to excellence. We believe alongside Team Vitality, we can continue achieving greatness and showcasing the stellar Indonesian esports talent on an expansive international stage.” commented the CEO of Bigetron Esports, Edwin Chia.
