SCCG Management Announces Extension and Expansion of Strategic Partnership with SnapOdds
SCCG Management, a leading consultancy specializing in the sports betting and gaming industries, announced the extension and significant expansion of its strategic partnership with SnapOdds, the revolutionary sports betting technology product from Snapscreen Inc. This expansion marks a pivotal shift toward a consumer-facing (B2C) strategy, leveraging SnapOdds’ unique TV and streaming content recognition software.
SnapOdds, often referred to as the “Shazam for Sports Betting,” has transformed the way users engage with live sporting events on TV and streaming. Users snap live TV events on their mobile phone, find event-related results and buy or bet. This seamless integration of technology and user experience positions SnapOdds as a frontrunner in the sports betting industry.
As part of this strategic pivot, SCCG Management and SnapOdds are focusing on delivering a B2C app, mobile web and social media presence. The transition towards a B2C approach is underpinned by the anticipated viral spread of the SnapOdds app.
This virality and proven stickiness not only ensures a cost-effective strategy for reaching and retaining new users but also presents a unique opportunity for advertisers and sponsors. By serving game related advertising and sponsorship to highly engaged users at the right time within the app, mobile web and social media presence, SCCG Management and SnapOdds are set to generate substantial cost reduction in player acquisition cost for sports books and other sports related offers like e-commerce.
Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management, said: “Our enhanced collaboration with SnapOdds underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence in the sports betting industry. The shift towards a B2C model opens up unprecedented opportunities for growth, user engagement, and revenue generation. We are excited to pioneer this space, delivering unparalleled experiences for sports fans and creating significant value for our advertisers and sponsors.”
Thomas Willomitzer, Founder and CEO of Snapscreen, said: “Offering Shazam for TV as an app was always on the agenda. The overwhelmingly positive feedback of end users on the one side and the huge monetization opportunity to deliver engaged users at the right time to lower the CAC for betting and e-commerce drives our B2C strategy. We naturally continue to serve and expand our loyal B2B customer base. We are a team of experts in taking offline media interactive. First Radio when I co-founded Last.FM and now TV.”
The strategic expansion of the SCCG Management and SnapOdds partnership is a testament to their commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to redefine the sports betting landscape. As they embark on this new chapter, the focus will remain on delivering exceptional value to users and stakeholders alike.
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.
