Immense Group’s online casino brand Mega Riches has provided a series of matchday hospitality packages at The Hawthorns for supporters connected to The Albion Foundation, the official charity partner of West Bromwich Albion.

The initiative ran across multiple fixtures this season, with beneficiaries hosted in the Richardson Suite. The club’s back-of-shirt sponsor said the packages went to Foundation volunteers, charity fundraisers and community lottery winners.

The press release highlights recipients including a long-serving Foundation volunteer celebrating her 70th birthday, and a supporter whose attendance at Foundation Day helped raise £1,127 for the Cancer Kickers programme. Winners from the Foundation’s Baggies Bonanza and darts evening fundraisers were also included.

One winner, Albion fan Ellie, attended the Albion vs Millwall match as Mega Riches’ guest after winning a bonus prize at the Hull City Foundation Day fixture in March. She said: “Our time in The Richardson Suite was fab. The staff and service were impeccable.

“We thoroughly enjoyed the food and complimentary drinks, as well as the Q&A session with the WBA legends. I would really recommend anyone wanting a more VIP experience at Albion to give it a try.”

Immense Group CMO Marco Trucco said: “Football reaches into communities in a way very few things do. When we looked at how we wanted to build our relationship with West Bromwich Albion, brand visibility was never going to be enough on its own.

“The work the Albion Foundation does, for cancer patients, for volunteers, for people who might otherwise be isolated, that’s the kind of purpose we want our brands to support. Mega Riches made that happen this season. Immense Group intends to keep making it happen.”

Kaizen Gaming has officially launched Betano in Ghana, marking the company’s 20th regulated market and its first market entry of 2026.

The launch underscores Kaizen’s global GameTech expansion strategy—rooted in technology, regulatory compliance and responsible operations—bringing safe sportsbook and casino products to Ghana’s fast-growing digital audience.

Official launch and local leadership

A dedicated launch event in Accra brought together Kaizen Gaming leaders—George Skarlatos (Director of Business Development), Daniel Lamberti (Senior Business Development Advisor) and Joseph Owusu Badu (Country Manager, Ghana)—alongside Emmanuel Siisi Quainoo, Acting Commissioner of the Ghana Gaming Commission. The ceremony celebrated market entry and formalized local partnerships designed to ensure a compliant, trusted player experience from day one.

“Ghana is a market with strong long-term potential, an increasingly tech-oriented population, and a clear commitment to building a structured and transparent regulatory environment,” said George Skarlatos. “With responsibility embedded across our technology, processes and operations, we are fully aligned with Ghana’s regulatory framework.”

Acting Commissioner Emmanuel Siisi Quainoo welcomed Betano’s entry, noting the operator’s commitment to player protection, market integrity and adherence to high regulatory standards.

What Betano brings to Ghana: technology, safety, and choice

Betano’s Ghana launch delivers:

A full responsible gaming framework and local customer protections.
A technology-first sportsbook and casino platform optimized for mobile and desktop.
Local operations led by a Ghana-based country manager to support regulatory compliance and customer care.
These features aim to provide Ghanaian players safe, transparent access to licensed online betting and casino entertainment.

Momentum from global recognition and sports partnerships

Kaizen enters Ghana following a standout year of industry awards and partnerships. The operator was named Operator of the Year at both the EGR Operator Awards and the SBC Awards for the second consecutive year, and in 2025 announced a global FIFA partnership for the FIFA Club World Cup. Kaizen also maintains high-profile football partnerships with clubs such as FC Bayern München, Aston Villa FC, FC Porto, Sporting CP, SL Benfica, River Plate and Flamengo, demonstrating the brand’s marketing strength and sports engagement credentials.

Strategic outlook: scaling responsibly in Africa

Ghana’s strong digital uptake and clear regulatory ambitions make it a priority for Kaizen’s global rollout. By centering regulation, local partnerships and responsible-play tools, Kaizen aims to build a scalable, trusted presence in Ghana while contributing to local economic activity and regulated market growth.
