InGamePlay brand advertising platform AdInMo and on-device contextual intelligence platform NumberEight have announced a partnership to drive privacy-first personalization for in-game advertising.

AdInMo’s InGamePlay brand advertising platform enables immersive brand experiences, where ads are seamlessly integrated directly into gameplay and do not interrupt player immersion. Click-free ad units offer a more authentic engagement for advertisers looking to reach new and hard-to-reach audiences.

AdInMo’s ad targeting is based on player data and the partnership with NumberEight allows AdInMo to collect additional behavioural signals. The two partners share a privacy-first approach and aim to tackle mobile addressability of in-game advertising at scale by leveraging untapped first-party data.

NumberEight offers Mobex (mobile context), live context and behavioural audiences, to advertisers without the need for personally identifiable information (PII), advertising IDs or cookies. Utilising on-device computing and mobile sensors, NumberEight’s AI platform can detect live contexts, including if a user is playing at home, while commuting, or during a work break. The AI technology groups these actions into behavioral segments stored on the device without the need for tracking, creating a new opportunity never before available to brands.

Kristan Rivers, CEO and Co-Founder of AdInMo added: “We’re delighted to be working with the team at NumberEight. We have a shared vision: that mobile advertisers should celebrate not fear the demise of user tracking. The ability to offer advertisers hyper-targeted campaigns without the need for PII or identifiers is a ground-breaking achievement in ad tech, and respects the increasing awareness that consumers have of their digital privacy. NumberEight’s device data signals will augment AdInMo’s unique PlayerPersonasFramework to offer real-time relevant personalized brand experiences, at scale.

We’re currently running trials with several publishers across our global mobile games inventory leveraging the data from NumberEight to offer AdInMo’s demand partners better targeting for their in-game advertising campaigns.”

NumberEight CEO, Abhishek Sen, added: “We’re excited to be partnering with the team at AdInMo to help advertisers better understand mobile gamers with behavioral and contextual data that doesn’t rely on PII or identifiers. Nearly everyone on the planet has a mobile phone and over half of them play mobile games, resulting in a rich diversity of both game genres and players. Mobile gamers definitely do not conform to traditional gaming stereotypes and on-device contextual signals help better understand these diverse and hard-to-reach audiences.

Through this partnership, we aim to help AdInMo’s publishers maximize the value of their mobile inventory while also allowing advertisers to reach these relevant and diverse audiences in the moments that matter most. Thus delivering both the needed scale and upholding user privacy principles – all this in a sector as exciting as mobile gaming!”

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.

The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.

Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:

“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.

“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.

“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”

Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.

“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

ThrillTech said it has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to offer its side-bet jackpot technology to regulated online casino, sports betting, and lottery operators in Ontario.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.

ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.
