SKY BET’S NEW TV ADVERT CROWNS FOOTBALL’S ULTIMATE UNSUNG HERO
Sky Bet has launched a brand-new TV advert announcing Alex Walmlsey, aka Dad on a Mission, as the winner of the Real Football No.1s competition – a nationwide search for the UK’s unsung footballing heroes.
Following a six-month search for entrants, including an ongoing TV campaign to highlight nominees, the new ad showcasing Alex and his story launched online on Wednesday 18th October, and will air on TV from Saturday 21st October to Thursday 30th November.
The ad will feature on a range of content streams including Sky TV (Football, Non-Football Sport, Entertainment), Sky Video on Demand, TNT Sport TV, ITV and on the Sky Sports YouTube channel.
With over 900 entries to the competition, Sky Bet entrusted an expert panel, hosted by Soccer Saturday mainstay Jeff Stelling, of Liverpool legend Graeme Souness and ex-Crystal Palace star Clinton Morison, to determine the winner, crowning Alex, who founded Sands United West Yorkshire as their victor.
Alex channeled his own personal grief – having lost three of his own babies in separate pregnancies – to create a football club as a safe space for men to discuss infant loss.
The 30-second pre-record sees Morrison surprise Alex alongside his teammates, announcing him as the winner and revealing his prizes, including a guest of honour spot at the 2023/24 Sky Bet Championship Play-Off final.
The TVC was filmed by Bristol-based creative agency JMP UK and was produced by the Sky Bet in-house team.
Leigh Peacock-Goodwin, Head of Brand and Sponsorship at Sky Bet, said: “I’m so thrilled to announce that Alex Walmsley is our first official Real Football No.1. and to turn the announcement into a TV advert for all to see is something we’re proud of.
“It’s been a privilege to work on this campaign, and we have been in awe at the remarkable people who have shared their stories. Working with JMP UK, as well as our in-house production team to be able to tell the country about these unsung footballing heroes has been a huge team effort.”
As competition among online casino operators increasingly centers on bonus size and game catalogs, WinSpirit is testing a different kind of engagement. The company has launched Euphoria Lab, a project built around an unusual premise for the industry: asking players not about payouts, but about feelings.
Players are invited to share the emotions, memories, and scents they connect with winning. Some describe it as the smell of rain before a summer storm, others mention morning coffee, sea breeze, or the charge in the air right before a result is announced.
The initiative sits within WinSpirit’s summer campaign, but its ambition reaches beyond typical promotions or gameplay mechanics. Euphoria Lab turns attention to the emotional side of play — the moments that stay with players long after a session ends.
Every response collected becomes part of a larger creative project WinSpirit intends to unveil later this year. The company has kept the details under wraps, saying only that the concept moves in a direction rarely seen in the online casino space.
Rather than the usual focus on numbers, odds, or promotions, Euphoria Lab asks a simpler question: not what a win pays out, but what it feels like.
The project is live now, with players across several markets already contributing their answers — a growing, community-shaped experiment with no fixed endpoint yet.
