Rivalry<\/a> has recently let go of 29 employees as part of a restructuring effort to reorganise teams and facilitate its new expansion into product categories and audience segments.<\/p>\n

Steven Salz, the CEO and co-founder of Rivalry, explained that the company is focusing on areas that show customer success and a return on investment.<\/p>\n

This shift in focus has led to the realisation that future roles are different from those that were previously required.<\/p>\n

In light of this change, Rivalry had to make the decision to say goodbye to 29 talented colleagues as part of their company restructuring.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead Rivalry plans to concentrate on areas where they can excel and achieve success, which includes refining their strategy and restructuring teams. <\/p>\n

Originally concentrating on esports betting<\/a>, Rivalry has gone through a transformation since its inception in 2017.<\/p>\n

The company expanded into iGaming in 2022 and has now become a gaming platform.<\/p>\n

This year, Rivalry announced plans to enter the B2B sector in an effort to explore new revenue opportunities and broaden its market reach.<\/p>\n

In May, the company revealed its intentions to step into the world of cryptocurrency gambling by introducing the Rivalry Token, a currency, to blockchain technology.<\/p>\n

Salz is of the opinion that utility tokens based on cryptocurrency have the potential to transform customer and brand loyalty within the gambling sector.<\/p>\n

He stressed that cryptocurrency isn’t a passing trend, citing industry reports showing that crypto bets now account for 25% of betting activity.<\/p>\n

He also predicted that this market share will keep growing as older demographics phase out.<\/p>\n

On LinkedIn, Salz posted a list containing the names, job titles, and contact details of some employees affected by the changes, inviting new employers to reach out.<\/p>\n

Salz expressed; “As we make moves at Rivalry with an eye on the future we’ve had to make decisions about parting ways with some talented colleagues this week.<\/p>\n

To those impacted, your contributions to Rivalry are greatly valued.”<\/p>\n

Salz mentioned that affected employees have been given the choice to be included in the list and emphasised their support in finding opportunities.<\/p>\n
