Bede Gaming and the £19 million price of flexibility
Bede set out to free gambling operators from software that was painfully hard to change. Its journey from an expensive rebuild to powering OLG and PointsBet Canada shows what that freedom takes.
Captain.tv
Captain.tv (formerly Stream Captain) is a San Francisco game studio building a new category it calls streamer-led games - free-to-play titles designed for a live streamer to host and play alongside thousands of their viewers on Twitch and YouTube. Its flagship, Stream Raiders, lets a broadcaster act as captain while the audience drops units onto a shared battlefield. Viewers buy and gift cosmetic items, and a revenue-sharing model pays creators directly. Backed by a $10M Series A, Captain.tv grew to more than 25,000 streamers and over 1.5M viewers and has paid out more than $1M to streamer partners.
