Today, Blacknut is set to disrupt the cloud gaming industry yet again with the release of its new Web App experience. Blacknut reinforces its vision of empowering the casual gamer by removing the need to install software and brings its extensive catalog of 500+ premium gaming titles to a browser-native experience for Safari and Chrome.

This new feature exemplifies the pioneering mindset that molded Blacknut into a cloud gaming leader and closer to its founding vision to bring premium games on every connected device, everywhere.

Last year, Blacknut was already among the first to bring unrestricted on demand gaming to iOS through a Progressive Web Application (PWA), making iPhone and iPad fully compatible with the service’s already running on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android mobile & TV, or Fire TV apps. The new Web App takes cross-device play a step further.

Blacknut’s 70+ publishers can now reach an even wider audience, and casual players can get their hands on the best games that the industry has to offer in a subscription service directly through a browser.

Blacknut’s service is, by design, compatible across as many internet-connected devices as possible, to reach the target customer: the general public whose household holds on average 2.5 connected devices. With this new feature, Blacknut’s extensive game catalog now deploys on any screen which supports Chrome or Safari.

“We’re thrilled to once-more be pioneering the future of cloud gaming with our Web App, a feature much requested by our community! With Blacknut’s massive game catalog now available through the world’s most ubiquitous browsers, we can estimate our cloud gaming service to reach 10 billion tablets, PCs, smartphones and more across the planet by 2023(1).” –– Olivier Avaro CEO, Blacknut

“Our technology already allows any Windows games to be integrated in Blacknut with no additional efforts from developers. This new feature will create an even easier opportunity for our Publishers to extend the reach of their games to new audiences, new devices, and new territories worldwide at no cost.” said Nabil Laredj, VP Business and Licensing at Blacknut.

Since going live in 2018, Blacknut has risen as the leading independent actor in cloud gaming solutions for the general public, with a unique B2B2C distribution model. Over the course of these fours years Blacknut’s Cloud Gaming service experienced exponential growth with the help of major partnerships including Telecom Italia, AIS in Thailand, Hutchison Drei in Austria, POST Telecom in Luxembourg, Telecall in Brazil, or the latest launch for Celcom in Malaysia, and M1 in Singapore. For this vision and accomplishments Blacknut was recently awarded a Red Herring Top 100 Winner, Europe award in December 2021.

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.

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.
