SCCG Announces Partnership Extension with Golden Whale
The partnership extension builds on a successful collaboration focused on helping operators move beyond traditional CRM and rule-based decisioning
LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Las Vegas, NV – SCCG Management, a leading advisory firm in the global gaming industry, today announced the extension of its strategic partnership with Golden Whale Productions, a pioneering data science company delivering AI- and machine learning-driven optimization solutions purpose-built for iGaming operators and platforms.
The partnership extension builds on a successful collaboration focused on helping operators move beyond traditional CRM and rule-based decisioning by leveraging predictive machine learning to optimize player engagement, retention, monetization, and bonus efficiency. Through the continued partnership, SCCG will support Golden Whale’s commercial expansion and strategic positioning across the Americas and other key global markets.
Golden Whale’s technology is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing gaming ecosystems—connecting directly to an operator’s existing PAM, CRM, data warehouse, and marketing tools without requiring complex system replacements. Its modular platform enables operators to deploy predictive models for churn risk, lifetime value, bonus usage, and player behavior forecasting, allowing teams to make decisions based on forward-looking intelligence, and moving iGaming systems closer to autonomous operation by Full Model Control (FMC).
At the core of Golden Whale’s offering are its Foundation optimization modules and LOOPS, an iterative machine learning system that continuously learns from player behavior and campaign outcomes. Together, these tools help operators determine who to engage, when to engage them, with what incentive, and at what level, while dynamically measuring impact against control groups. This approach enables more efficient bonus allocation, improved retention strategies, and sustained long-term player value growth.
Founded by Stephen A. Crystal, SCCG Management brings more than 30 years of global gaming expertise and a proven track record advising companies across iGaming, casino technology, sports betting, and emerging gaming verticals. With offices and strategic partners spanning Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America, SCCG is well-positioned to connect advanced technology providers with operators seeking scalable, data-driven growth solutions.
Golden Whale Productions has already established a strong presence across Europe, where its AI-driven approach to predictive acquisition, personalized engagement, and incentive optimization has gained traction among operators looking to modernize retention and growth strategies without disrupting existing infrastructure.
Eberhard Dürrschmid, CEO of Golden Whale, commented:“Extending our partnership with SCCG is a natural next step in Golden Whale’s global growth. SCCG’s strong understanding of gaming markets and operator needs makes them an ideal partner as we expand into new regions. Together, we’re focused on helping operators apply AI-driven optimization and automation in practical ways, improving incentive efficiency, engagement and decision-making without overhauling existing operations.”
Stephen A. Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management, added: “Golden Whale Productions brings a rare combination of deep gaming expertise and advanced data science that operators can deploy quickly and effectively. Extending this partnership reflects our confidence in their technology and our shared focus on helping operators transition from reactive decision-making to predictive, measurable optimization at scale.”
The partnership extension underscores SCCG’s commitment to supporting best-in-class AI gaming technology providers and reinforces Golden Whale’s position as a leading AI-driven optimization partner for iGaming operators and platforms worldwide.
