Iconic UFC athlete to promote the world’s number one crash game to his global fanbase 

SPRIBE has entered into yet another knock-out Aviator brand ambassador partnership, this time with top-ranked UFC welter and middleweight, Michael “Venom” Page.

Hailing from London, ‘MVP’ is recognised throughout the MMA community as a standout athlete in the middleweight division, admired for his creativity, power and showmanship inside the Octagon®. His unique style and personality have made him a fan favourite worldwide.

As an Aviator brand ambassador, MVP will promote the world’s number one crash game to his large and loyal army of fans across the world through several thrilling campaigns.

The collaboration forms part of SPRIBE’s wider multi-year, multi-million-dollar marketing deal with UFC that has brought Aviator branding to the famous Octagon on UFC Fight Night and numbered events.

Page joins a growing roster of UFC superstars promoting Aviator to their fans, including the likes of Arman Tsarukyan, Diego Lopes, Alex Pereira, Johnny Walker and Merab Dvalishvili.

The partnership has proved transformational for Aviator, which has grown from 10 million to over 60 million monthly players and continues to capture new audiences around the world.

Giorgi Tsutskiridze, CCO at SPRIBE, said: “We are thrilled to add Michael “Venom” Page to our lineup of Aviator brand ambassadors and for him to be taking part in some truly epic campaigns over the coming 12 months.

“MVP is a fearless fighter who always puts on a great show whenever he steps into the Octagon, and this has seen him earn a large and loyal international fan base.

“We look forward to engaging these fans and showing them why Aviator is the number one crash game in the world, and why, like Michael, they should strap in, take flight and see if they can hold their nerve against the increasing win multiplier.”

Michael “Venom” Page, UFC Fighter and Aviator brand ambassador, added: “Aviator is a white-knuckle ride where the stakes are high, but so too is the potential reward.

“Nothing beats stepping into the Octagon and going toe to toe with an opponent, but strapping in a taking flight with Aviator comes pretty close.

“I know my fans will love the fast-paced thrill ride it provides and look forward to introducing them to Aviator through some great campaigns over the coming 12 months.”

Working in a dynamic and fast-growing industry always brings new career opportunities.
One such field is iGaming — a sector that is constantly evolving and consistently in need of fresh talent. RedCore recruitment specialists shared some of their favourite tips for those seeking new opportunities, as well as some dos and don’ts that can increase your chances of getting closer to your new career milestone.

CVs Made Right: The Green and Red Flags of Resumes

What’s the first thing you should do to catch the employer’s eye? You’d think it’s the making of a competitive CV. But everything starts much sooner – from your LinkedIn profile. Valeriia Virchenko, Head of Talent Acquisition at RedCore, emphasizes that having a thoroughly filled-out LinkedIn profile increases your chances of getting noticed and serves as a green flag in your portfolio. Moreover, having a LinkedIn profile is not enough; your account should accurately represent your current job position, responsibilities, workplace, and, most importantly, include relevant keywords in the headline to make your profile visible to talent sourcers. Instead of writing “Backend Developer” in your profile, try to describe your position more accurately, for example, “Senior Backend Developer in iGaming”, or “SaaS Backend Team Lead”.

Another green flag is mentioning in your resume how your skills and knowledge contributed to the development of the business or project you were working on. Show how you’ve driven impact, instead of simply listing your skills. Include measurable results to demonstrate your value in previous iGaming roles.

So how about red flags? One of the most common mistakes in CVs is having one version of it. Valeriia Virchenko claims that modifying your resume according to the position you’re applying for is very important. There’s no pill for every ill, so prepare your resume, tweak and rewrite certain parts that highlight your strengths for each vacancy. Another CV mistake – misspelled words, grammatical errors, or incorrect information. In this age of digital technology and OpenAI, it’s easier than ever to polish your resume and present yourself at your best.

However, the most horrid mistake you can commit is talking negatively about your previous employers in your resumes or portfolios. By doing this, you’re giving a clear signal to your potential managers that you can do the same with them.

The Art of Leaving a Good First Impression

Recruiters pay special attention to the first impression a candidate leaves on their first interview. However, this doesn’t mean that your fate is decided within the first five minutes of your chat. Talent acquisition partners make their decision, relying on your behaviour from the start of the interview to the finish line. It’s a complicated task for recruiters to define candidates’ soft and hard skills, opening them up little by little and making them trust the recruiters through a short conversation. As Valeriia Virchenko, Head of Talent Acquisition at RedCore, mentioned, more often than not, candidates open up to them at the end of the conversation.

To present yourself in the best possible way during an interview, demonstrate qualities such as confidence, honesty, and genuine interest in the company. The easiest way to stand out from the crowd is to conduct thorough research beforehand and demonstrate genuine interest in the role and the business. A few minutes of research is all it takes to impress — understand the company, its values, and the role’s requirements before your call.

Last but not least, be yourself. Be honest about your skills, strengths, weaknesses, and experience. The iGaming industry is very tight, and the truth will be out one way or another. Therefore, the best thing you can do is be true to yourself, rather than playing roles.

Offline Interviews Right at The Booth: A Groundbreaking Change

The iGaming industry encounters many misconceptions. One of the most popular ones is that the industry is too dynamic and challenging. However, when done correctly, this industry offers an excellent opportunity for continuous growth and staying sharp as a professional. RedCore doesn’t stop after one achievement. Instead, the business group develops new brands and technologies to stay ahead of the competition.

RedCore has a long-standing reputation as a business group that conducts interviews right at the booth during conferences. The talent acquisition managers have shared some insight into this experience. Just last year, RedCore scaled by 58%, and the hirings from the booth aren’t a big part of this funnel. However, it’s a great way to connect with talents directly, as conferences provide a significant networking opportunity. Quick hires aren’t the primary goal of these express interviews — the real value is in long-term connections. They provide a pool of potential candidates, including C-Level executives, who are connected with the RedCore recruiters and can reach out to them in the future.

Valeriia Virchenko, Head of Talent Acquisition at RedCore, suggests that everyone interested should come forward and introduce themselves. Even if you’re not looking for a job at the moment. The key trick for this is to stay confident, not hesitate to start a conversation, and share contact information. Many present team members at RedCore have started their journey at the business group exactly this way. Offline interviews help recruiters see candidates face-to-face, bring out their skills and strengths more easily, and determine whether they’re a good cultural fit for the employer. On the other hand, candidates can better understand the business group’s mission and requirements, feel the overall vibe, and gain valuable connections for their future career steps. So, if you have the opportunity to meet recruiters during a conference, don’t hesitate to introduce yourself. This is one of the most crucial opportunities you can gain in your search for new career paths.The RedCore recruitment team will be attending the SIGMA Rome conference from November 3 to 6 and invites everyone to visit booth 1045G to learn more about career opportunities within the international business group. They would also greatly appreciate any referrals.

Instead of Conclusion  

In the fast-paced world of iGaming, standing out means being intentional – from your LinkedIn headline to your booth conversation. Whether you’re applying today or planning for the future, these insights from RedCore can help you to find your dream job. Be genuine, stay proactive, and never underestimate the power of a five-minute chat at a conference.
