As part of the sponsorship deal, AstroPay will have its branding and logo visible on the pitchside LED advertising at the Premier League matches and on the club’s press conference backdrop. AstroPay’s branding will feature regularly on matchdays at St James’ Park, providing the company with wide exposure from both national and global reach as it looks to expand its range of products and services worldwide.
This partnership follows the recent renewal of AstroPay’s sponsorship deal with Burnley Football Club and its tie-up with Wolves, which all help the business’ profile among sports fans in the UK and around the world.
Mikael Lijtenstein, CEO of AstroPay, said: “As a major football team with a strong fan base, Newcastle United FC is an ambitious club which matches the global spirit of AstroPay. We are thrilled to be joining forces with them as a sponsor and are looking forward to working together.
“The English Premier League has always been very competitive, popular and global, which sees brands using the event as the perfect vehicle for driving brand awareness, interest and revenue. This partnership with Newcastle United FC is part of our global strategy to continue boosting brand visibility within the UK and Europe.”
Dale Aitchison, Head of Commercial at Newcastle United, said: “We are really excited to welcome AstroPay as our new Official Payment Solutions Partner and look forward to launching beginning of a new, mutually beneficial relationship. AstroPay is a pioneer in global payment solutions and we look forward to assisting in providing a platform to engage with our international audience.”

RocketPlay Casino has been awarded European Marketing Campaign of the Year – B2C at the 2026 EGR Europe Awards for its innovative community-led campaign, RocketWisdom: The Book. The EGR Europe Awards recognise trailblazers and leaders shaping the iGaming industry across Europe, with winners chosen through a rigorous judging process.
What the Award Recognises
The European Marketing Campaign of the Year – B2C category honours marketing initiatives that achieve significant commercial impact or enhance brand development. Judges evaluate originality, creativity, quality of execution, and measurable results.
About RocketWisdom: The Book
RocketPlay’s winning campaign began as a player research project. Over two months, the casino invited its community to share their gaming habits and “rituals,” gathering over 1,000 responses. These insights were transformed into a book featuring 100+ authentic player stories, curated but not rewritten by the brand.
The campaign gained rapid momentum after streamers discovered the book. Within just three days, RocketPlay received around 1,000 direct requests, turning a private research initiative into a fully-fledged public campaign. The project was amplified across owned channels, social media, creator content, media coverage, and in-product activations.
Campaign Highlights
- 13,000+ downloads
- ~100 streams showcasing the project (~200,000 viewers)
- 50+ media outlets coverage
For RocketPlay, the award represents a major milestone and underscores the power of community-driven storytelling. The campaign demonstrates that authentic engagement can deliver measurable performance, not just visibility. RocketPlay continues to build its reputation in the community, maintaining top ratings across platforms including 9.8/10 on CasinoGuru, 9.1/10 on AskGamblers, 4.4/5 on Trustpilot, and 4.3/5 on LCB.
