The Scottish FA is going to end its partnership with William Hill, after the current season. William Hill is the title sponsor of the Scottish Cup and Official Betting Partner of the Scotland National Team since 2011.

The news follows on from Everton and Kenyan betting firm SportPesa cutting ties two years into a five-year deal and the English FA having dropped its deal with Ladbrokes in 2017 getting into hot water this season after the sale of FA Cup broadcast rights to Bet365 that could only be watched by Bet365 account holders.

The announcement of the William Hill and the SFA does not give a specific reason for the end of the almost 10-year partnership, though it would appear to be a friendly parting of the ways in light of the increased focus on the role of betting sponsorships in football.

“The Scottish FA would like to thank William Hill for their investment in Scottish football over the past decade. Their sponsorship has enabled development in many aspects of the game, through the Scottish Cup, men’s national team and Hampden Park, but has also supported key initiatives such as the Hampden Sports Clinic’s mental health programme,” Ian Maxwell, Chief Executive of Scottish FA, said.

“The Scottish Cup is a unique and vibrant competition and it has been honour to be associated with it. We would like to thank the Scottish FA for being a great partner and wish Ian Maxwell and his team the best of luck in the future,” Liam McKee, Head of Media and Sponsorship at William Hill, said.

ICONIC21 has launched Private Edition Blackjack, a live table game built around a single-player format. The company said the table is reserved entirely for one player and supports up to seven hands played simultaneously.

Private Edition Blackjack uses a seven-seat table model with a high minimum bet requirement, positioning it at VIP and high-value segments. ICONIC21 said players can request a dealer change, request a shoe change, or choose to keep their current dealer.

The product also adds ICONIC21’s integrated LED Studio technology. According to the company, a built-in LED screen enables operators to change background visuals to support campaigns, partnerships, events, or player segmentation.

Edvardas Sadovskis, Chief Product Officer at ICONIC21, said: “Private Edition Blackjack brings a much stronger sense of ownership to the live blackjack experience. Players are not simply joining a seat – they take full control of the table, playing up to seven hands and shaping the session through dealer and shoe preferences.

For VIP and high-value players, engagement is everything. This format ensures the dealer’s full attention is dedicated to a single player, creating a more personal and immersive experience. With extended decision time and no need to accommodate others at the table, players can control the pace of the game and play entirely on their own terms.”
