Canada's OLG selects Bede Gaming as new platform provider

Bede Gaming was awarded the contract following an open procurement process and aims to roll out OLG's new platform in early 2020.

The contract award follows OLG's initial request for proposals in May 2017 for platform suppliers capable of improving the lottery's online player experience and responsible gambling measures, and marks Bede's first entry into the North American market and lottery sector.

"I'm absolutely delighted to welcome OLG to Bede and am extremely proud of the team effort involved in bringing this agreement to fruition," said Bede Gaming co-founder Michael Brady.

"It is a huge recognition of the strength of our offering and firm proof of our status as a leading gaming platform in the industry. This is a landmark contract win for Bede and I am sure will be the start of a long and successful relationship with one of the most respected names in the worldwide lottery sector."

In addition to player management and games integration, Bede's platform offers OLG a number of options to help manage responsible gambling in real-time, such as the ability to set fine-grained limits, self-exclusions, and other support tailored to players needs.

OLG chief operating officer Greg McKenzie commented: "We are investing in digital technology and product solutions to improve the customer experience and ensure we are responsive to changing customer expectations.

"The platform Bede will provide a central point of integration for OLG’s products and channels. We are looking forward to developing our relationship with Bede as OLG continues its digital transformation."

Malware in fake Fortnite Android apps is already spreading

Malicious websites offering Android versions of Fortnite downloads have been discovered already, just days after the game was officially launched as a beta outside of the Google Play Store.

Developer Epic Games had already announced the game would not be available through Google Play, in a move that avoids it having to pay Google’s 30% cut on all purchases made, and instead provides the game as a download through its own website.

In a Wired report, the publication found seven websites advertising Fortnite for Android, all of which were then identified to carry malware by security experts Lockout. Upon investigation, the most common malware fools downloaders into visiting websites loaded with ads, on the promise of a code or opportunity to download the Fortnite game.

It’s also pointed out that before Google and Bing responded to complaints, the top search result for an Android version of Fortnite led not to the official version, but one loaded with malware.

Lookout’s Christoph Hebeisen told Wired why Fortnite not being available in the Google Play Store makes it interesting:

“When we are looking at fake apps that pretend to be a particular game, and that game is available on the Play Store, there’s a fairly high barrier for people to download that game from somewhere else, because they know that’s not a legitimate source.”

Fortnite does not have this safety barrier, and the consequences are already evident.

🍺 World Cup Cash contest round 2 is LIVE

Hello fellas! Welcome in the next edition of fantastic Zcode Cash Contest! Remember, every Zcode member is welcome in the contest and all you need to do is read the rules and start posting valid picks on the contest forum. Tons of cash are waiting and of course, a lot of fun is guaranteed! This time we have soccer contest to make World Cup 2018 even more exciting! Enjoy! Good luck!

Shaky World Cup start for favorites was reflected in contenders results in round 1. Disappointing play by Argentina, Brazil, Poland, Germany costed many contest players a few units. Naturally, it means that those who pulled out a profit in round 1 used opportunity and they got a good advantage over the rest of players.

Total DOMINATOR in round 1 turned out to be Stefanos(ste***) who nuked a draw in Spain vs Ronaldo match. Stefanos(ste***) shines in the contest just like Portuguese superstar CR7 in the World Cup. Let’s see how both leaders will continue in the tournaments.

Very well play presents also Fortvne(jdang3***) who follows hosts of the tournament and nuked Russians to beat Saudi Arabia in the opening game. As we already know that was probably the easiest call in the contest so far.

Third place in the contest occupies well known Zcoder Victor(victor_perez_twe***) who has put his contest faith in Russians hands. Czerczesow’s team does not disappoint and run down the rivals like a tank. Following this bandwagon pays back big so far and also Victor(victor_perez_twe***) cashed big winning $330 in round 1.

Longest winning streak as always is ruled by Geoffrey(rwtaylor1***). Only the real expert in this competition and Buckwheat(weisman***) managed to win all 3 picks in the first round. Just behind him in two wins in a row, we have Langston(lil_hil***) and Roy(rko***).

To make competition more spicy in the next rounds we trigger bankroll reset before round 2 so all contenders with bankroll below starting amount are set back again to $10000! Enjoy!

Round 2 is LIVE! Keep pushing! Cheers!

TOP 10 PLAYERS IN ROUND 1

1 Stefanos(ste***) $10 630

Worldwide digital games market: October 2017

Digital games revenue grows 15% worldwide in October. Players spent $8.5 billion across console, mobile and PC in October, up from $7.4 billion in the same month last year. Growth was underpinned by a 28% jump in premium PC thanks to Destiny 2’s successful BattleNet launch, and the continued blockbuster hit of PLAYERUNKNOWN’S Battlegrounds. Gains were also strong in mobile (19%) with the continued rise of major games like Honour of Kings.

Subscribers to the SuperData Arcade have access to detailed performance data on the world’s most popular digital games across PC, console and mobile.

• PLAYERUNKNOWN’s Battlegrounds sells another 5 million units. PUBG had its biggest month ever on the back of a seemingly unstoppable hype train. But has it met its match in Fortnite
• Destiny 2 has a solid release on PC. Destiny 2’s much-anticipated Blizzard Battle.net PC launch proves very successful. High attach rates for deluxe editions drove the average selling price up.
• Super Mario Odyssey launches on Switch. Mario sold 191,000 digital units in October, making it the biggest digital launch on Switch to date. However, digital download rates continue to lag those found on the Xbox and PlayStation consoles.

Single player games still have legs. While multiplayer-centric genres (FPS, MOBA, and Battle Royale) are in the spotlight, there is still room on the stage for single-player focused games. In October, South Park: The Fractured but Whole, Middle Earth: Shadow of War, and Assassin’s Creed: Origins collectively generated over $160M through digital full game sales. However, we don’t expect these games to have as much success in the long run, compared to the multiplayer genres, as it is generally harder to monetize through microtransactions in a single-player focused title.

Battle of the Battle Royales: PUBG vs Fortnite. While Fortnite has seen a higher out-of-the-gate active user base thanks to its F2P status, the game’s long-term success vs. its major and earlier-released rival is uncertain.

Epic is a veteran game development company and PLAYERUNKNOWN’s Battlegrounds’ first major—but certainly not last—competitor. Fortnite: Battle Royale’s MAU has grown larger than PUBG’s in the month of October across PC and console. Still, Fortnite’s total revenue is a fraction of PUBG’s due to the former being a free-to-play title compared to PUBG’s $30 price point. But Fortnite has a leg up on the additional content front, having already introduced cosmetic microtransactions through an in-game cash shop late in October. The challenge will be converting its higher user base into spenders.

December will be an important month for both games; PUBG will be releasing exclusively on XB1 on December 12th and will be leaving Steam Early Access on Steam in “late December” with a new map. Fortnite will, presumably, leverage their cash shop and introduce Christmas-themed cosmetics and will have to fight PUBG for user’s attention on XB1.
