Quick Custom Intelligence joins Itibari, Waynne & Partners for live entertainment strategic partnership — CDC Gaming

Quick Custom Intelligence on Wednesday announced a strategic partnership with Itibari, Waynne & Partners, an entertainment financing company with its own Studio Network, to bring live entertainment access to tribal casinos and large-scale entertainment venues.

The partnership introduces Live-House, a new vertical delivering live events across the gaming floor. Guests can view concerts, performances, and entertainment moments through secure, in-property digital channels, including mobile and player-facing platforms, while performers retain ownership and monetize their content.

“This partnership brings together two ecosystems that believe in ownership, transparency, and building sustainable revenue models that work for creators and the venues that support them,” IWP Founder and CEO Bruce Waynne said in a statement. “Creators are small businesses, and they deserve to be treated that way. This collaboration provides QCI access to our Studio Network — particularly VYRE, our AVOD streaming platform partner with live streaming technology — ensuring creators retain control of their work while reaching wider audiences and unlocking new revenue streams.”

QCI and Itibari, Waynne & Partners are alumni of Nor-Cal Financial Development Corporation, sharing a foundation in small business growth, access to capital, and long-term economic development across California’s tribal and entertainment economies.

“I was very pleased to collaborate on this project,” said Nor-Cal FCC CEO Sanford Livingston. “Bringing together two business success stories to launch a platform that changes the game for entertainers and artists will create jobs, provide opportunities, and support the economy of Indian gaming resorts.”

QCI Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Andrew Cardno said the partnership is about access.

“Tribal gaming resorts have invested billions into building extraordinary entertainment destinations,” Cardno said. “By combining QCI’s real-time intelligence platform with VYRE’s live streaming technology, we’re making it possible for those experiences to reach the entire property — creating deeper engagement and meaningful new revenue opportunities.”

The collaboration leverages IWP’s Studio Network to provide financing, distribution, and monetization tools, while QCI’s platform supplies operational systems, data intelligence, and commercial insights to scale experiences across complex, high-volume environments.

The partnership marks the first phase of QCI’s “Business of Fun” initiative, unifying entertainment, technology, and data into a single connected ecosystem. Additional announcements related to live deployments and upcoming event integrations will be shared in the coming weeks.
