Flutter hosted its second Charity Ball in Dublin last week, raising over €285,000 for Spinal Injuries Ireland – Ireland’s only dedicated support service for people living with a spinal cord injury. The money raised – of which €100,000 was matched by Flutter UKI – will be transformational in the charity’s efforts to provide more services across the country.

Founded in 1994, Spinal Injuries Ireland’s mission is to engage with people with a spinal cord injury, along with their family members. Together, they address barriers to full participation in society and empower their service users to work towards achieving personal, social and vocational goals.

Hosted by Irish stand-up comedian and presenter, Doireann Garrihy and Paddy Power himself, over 400 attendees at Dublin’s Mansion House generously contributed to fundraising efforts through an array of activities including a Mascot Race, Silent Auction, Golden Envelopes, Spin Wheel, Bingo and a raffle. Attendees also heard speeches from the team at Spinal Injuries Ireland and Flutter’s CLO and Group Commercial Director, Padraig O’Riordain.

The Charity Ball showcases Flutter’s pledge to Do More for its communities, as part of its global sustainability strategy, the Positive Impact Plan. The goal of Do More is to improve the lives of 10 million people by 2030, which is made possible by Flutter’s scale and the collective passion of its colleagues.

Phil O’ Kelly, Head of Fundraising at Spinal Injuries Ireland, said: “We are profoundly grateful to the team at Flutter and to everyone who attended the Flutter Ball for their incredible generosity and support. The event was not only a wonderful celebration but also a monumental success.

“Thanks to the astonishing amount of funds raised, we are now able to offer peer-to-peer support and counselling to every individual with a spinal cord injury in Ireland who needs it, for the next two years.

“This is an extraordinary achievement, one that will create a lasting and deeply positive impact on the spinal cord injury community in Ireland. From the bottom of our hearts, a sincere thank you to Flutter for your unwavering support and all you have done for Spinal Injuries Ireland this year.”

Pádraig Ó Ríordáin, CLO and Group Commercial Director at Flutter, said: “Last week’s Charity Ball held in The Mansion House, Dublin in aid of Spinal Injuries Ireland was a tremendous success. It was a true pleasure to undertake fundraising for this wonderful charity which provides an essential service in Ireland.

“We are grateful for the generosity of our guests and donors who collectively helped us to more than double our original fundraising target. The success of this event underlines Flutter’s commitment to the communities in which we work. This is a fundamental objective of Flutter’s Positive Impact Plan.”

BetVictor is timing the launch around this weekend’s Premier League schedule, with spots running alongside Arsenal vs Newcastle on Saturday evening and Chelsea vs Leeds on Sunday afternoon.

Media planning is led by Bountiful Cow. The plan includes a new partnership with Sky, spanning live sport integrations, on-demand, YouTube channels and targeted digital placements via Sky Advance.

Richard Walters, Director of Brand and Creative at BetVictor, said:

“‘For All Your Favourite Things’ captures what BetVictor stands for today – a premium, straightforward experience that enhances the thrill of sport.

QTech Games has won the Leader in Online Casino award at the Annual Sports Betting East Africa (SBEA+) 2026 Summit in Nairobi, Kenya.

The company said it beat other shortlisted suppliers including SA Gaming, BetConstruct, and DST Gaming. The award is described by the event as recognising the “top all-round online casino platform for innovation, user engagement, and sustained growth” over the past year.

The SBEA+ Eventus Awards focus on the East African igaming and sports betting sector and were presented at a gala ceremony at the Argyle Grand Hotel. QTech Games said the judging period covered 2025/26 and that its aggregation platform performance was ranked highest by the panel.

QTech Games CEO Philip Doftvik said: “We’re thrilled to have walked off with another notable award for the best overall online-casino-platform provision in East Africa. Being shortlisted in such good company was already a result, but victory provides the real validation, particularly after running a great campaign at recent Eventus events in Africa. We’ve been promoting QTech Hybrid, our breakthrough retail solution, to great effect and it’s been fantastic to see that going live with a handful of top-tier clients on this continent has led to such overwhelmingly positive feedback and immediate success cases in the realm of genuine innovation.

“This win is testimony to our diligent team at QTech Games, and to the constantly growing group of innovative suppliers that our platform represents. It’s a truly collaborative effort. We remain committed to rolling out high-quality content that drives revenue for our worldwide partners across Africa and beyond. After all, in today’s marketplace, only premium games of the highest standard will separate you from the crowd, so we were delighted to see the panel acknowledge how our premier platform is delivering across Africa’s eclectic ecosystem. We’ve made our name as the pre-eminent aggregator in these evolving margin markets, delivering localised games that speak to a host of player proclivities. This award win will spur us on to new horizons.”
