The National Basketball Association (NBA) and La Française des Jeux (FDJ) – the operator of the French national lottery and one of the largest sports betting companies in Europe – announced a new multi-year extension to their existing collaboration. This commitment makes FDJ, through its online sports betting brand ParionsSport, the Official Partner of the NBA in France and an Associate Partner of the NBA Paris Games 2025 Presented by Tissot , which will see the Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs play two regular season games at Accor Arena on Thursday, January 23 and Saturday, January 25, 2025 in Paris.

Thanks to this expanded collaboration, ParionsSport en ligne brand customers will benefit throughout the coming seasons from exclusive prizes and unique experiences, including the opportunity to attend NBA games in the US or in Paris during the NBA Paris Games. The league will also organise “NBA Viewing Party” evenings presented by ParionsSport en ligne in several cities in France during this 2024-25 season.

As part of this extension, ParionsSport en ligne also becomes the “Presenting Partner” of the official NBA Fantasy – Salary Cap game in France, a free game that invites fans to compete throughout the regular season by building a roster of 10 NBA players under a salary cap of $100 million. Several prizes will be at stake, including a trip to attend an NBA Finals game for the big winner in France.

“We are thrilled to continue and strengthen our long-standing and successful partnership with La Française des Jeux. FDJ shares our commitment to continually innovate for passionate NBA fans in France. We look forward to continuing to deliver an authentic NBA experience for the millions of NBA fans and FDJ customers across France with a range of physical and digital activations in the coming seasons,” said Kuljeet Sindhar, Vice President of International Gaming & Data Ventures at NBA, said.

“After several years of a successful partnership with the NBA, one of the most watched competitions in the world that brings together the biggest stars in sports, we are delighted to continue this exclusive collaboration for the benefit of our customers, all NBA fans and lovers of the beautiful game. We will thus be able to continue to offer an attractive sports betting offer on the competition, but also unique experiences, particularly during the NBA Paris Games in January 2025, of which ParionsSport en ligne will be an official partner,” said Richard Courtois, Director of the Sports and Online Gaming at FDJ.

Mary Patrux, presenter of beIN SPORTS, will continue to play her role as ambassador of ParionsSport en ligne, and will host regular content around the NBA on the social networks of ParionsSport en ligne. The brand will also continue its collaboration with TrashTalk, a media covering NBA news.

The expanded collaboration will be promoted through ParionsSport online and the NBA’s digital assets, including the NBA app and the NBA’s localised social channels in France.

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.”

GoldenRace will exhibit its virtual sports portfolio and mobile betting technology at the iGaming Afrika Summit in Nairobi, running 4 to 6 May. The supplier said it will present market-specific content for East Africa at Stand C09.

A key focus will be GoldenRace’s In-Shop Mobile product, which the company positions as a way for operators to offer “high-speed, digital betting experiences” on customers’ own devices while they are in a retail shop.

The stand will also feature GoldenRace content across multiple verticals, including Virtual Football, Dog Racing, and the number-draw game Spin2Win, alongside newer titles JetEscape and Arcade Heist. GoldenRace will also present the Spinmatic slot catalogue, which it said is mobile-optimised.

GoldenRace said the retail-plus-mobile approach is aimed at lowering overhead for land-based operators by supporting higher player volumes without adding hardware at the same rate. “Our goal at the iGaming Afrika Summit is to demonstrate how global technological standards can be applied to meet the specific needs of African operators,” said Martin Wachter, GoldenRace CEO & Founder. “From our In-Shop Mobile technology to our virtual sports portfolio, we provide the tools necessary for security, scalability and engagement.”
