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.

Customers can now use Bet Builder, a format that lets them build their own set of markets on one match into a single bet with higher odds. Bet Builder is available for both esports and sports events. You can try out the new feature with a deposit bonus of up to 150% and a free bet worth up to $50.

Customers can now place a combined bet on a single match by picking various options for how events in the match will play out. For example, in CS2, customers can choose which team will win on a specific map, how many kills a specific player will rack up, how many rounds will be played on a single map, and so on.

To place a Bet Builder bet, pick an event that hasn’t started yet, press the ‘Bet Builder’ button, put together your selection of markets from those available, get higher combo odds, and finish placing the bet in one click. At this initial stage, GG.BET is offering Bet Builder on football, basketball, hockey, CS2, Dota 2, LoL, and VALORANT, with more sports and disciplines to be added down the line.

GG.BET has always been known for embracing unconventional markets and elaborate betting options. Bet Builder is there to meet customer demand for more interesting formats in a single match. The ability to make predictions right down to a specific round and any other tiny detail of a match is what gives users variety and improves their skills,” the GG.BET press office explained.

GG.BET is offering customers the opportunity to test out the Bet Builder format with a deposit bonus of up to 150% and a free bet of up to $50.

Celebrated strategy game The Battle of Polytopia confirms its first ever World Championships has exceeded expectations with over 10,000 sign-ups in its qualifying rounds. While no stranger to tournaments, previously hosting smaller scale, local tournaments called ‘Polysseums’, developer Midjiwan’s first step into global esports has been met with extreme success. The inclusive esports event has a $10,000 prize pool and will conclude on 6 December 2025, 14:00-21:00.

The finals will take place in front of a live-studio audience, with expert commentary and a chance to peek behind the scenes at Midjiwan itself. First place will receive $4,000, the runner-up will take away $2,000, the third and fourth place finishers will get $1,500, and the fifth and sixth place $500.

The Polytopia World Championship 2025 is being hosted by eSports platform, Challengermode, who Midjiwan has relied on for its monthly local tournaments since 2022. Midjiwan also partnered with Black Molly Entertainment to help organise and manage the event. Black Molly Entertainment have years of experience managing eSports tournaments, with notable events including the Geoguesser World Cup and CS:GO Pinnacle Cup Championship.

Midjiwan has worked closely with its community to ensure engagement is high with each round, building a bespoke ‘Spectator Mode’ into the game so fans can watch each game live through the game itself. In the spectator mode the viewer has visibility of all players simultaneously, with stats on how many cities, technologies, kills and more available for quick access.

Christian Lovstedt, CEO of Midjiwan commented:
“Polytopia has always been about welcoming all kinds of players into the world of 4X strategy. That’s why our championship is open to everyone – not just pros with sponsors. We’ve been thrilled at the amount of interest this tournament received from our community, reaching participation numbers way beyond our expectations. We’re excited to bring the finalists to Stockholm and can’t wait to see the strategies that emerge.”

The Polytopia World Championship 2025 kicked off in September, with its ‘Battle of the Tribes’ qualifying round – weekly battles where players competed to be the best in each of the game’s 12 tribes. After an exciting six weeks, the top player from each tribe faced-off, reducing the qualifiers to six finalists. These six winners are listed down below.

Second Prize Drop of N1 Puzzle Promo: Top Affiliates Score Porsche, Cartier, Leica & Apple for Driving High-Quality Traffic

Published

on

N1 Partners is wrapping up the second lottery of the N1 Puzzle Promo! From September 1 to November 30, partners were actively collecting puzzle pieces for FTDs and climbing the rankings to secure their place among the winners.

A notable trend this season: the Top-5 leaders by traffic and collected puzzles differ from the main leaderboard. This means some partners slowed down, while others pushed harder — and now have every chance to boost their position in the overall standings by the end of the promo.

Five luxury prizes will be awarded to partners with consistently strong performance who entered the Top-5 by puzzle count during the second mini-lottery period.

Which prizes did the leaders receive?

1st place — MacBook Pro

C*** *****h

2nd place — Porsche eBike Sport

A***********t

3rd place — Cartier Santos Medium watch

T****** ****d

4th place — Leica Q2 camera

P******k

5th place — Apple Vision Pro

S** ****s

The promo is entering its final stretch — a crucial checkpoint for the entire N1 Puzzle Promo, where the fate of the leaderboard may be decided,” notes Alexa Bond, Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners. “With one month left until the end, even those who joined later still have a chance to make a breakthrough, while the leaders can strengthen their positions and widen the gap. N1 Puzzle Promo isn’t about luck — it’s about consistent work and mutual trust between partners and the affiliate program.”

The Grand Finale in Barcelona Is Getting Closer

The race continues: the more puzzle pieces collected throughout the promo, the higher the ranking — and the greater the chance to fly out of Barcelona in your very own helicopter!

On January 20, 2026, in Barcelona, during iGB Affiliate and ICE, N1 Partners will host the final N1 Puzzle Promo party, where winners will receive exclusive gifts — and the grand prize: a Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter.

Guests of the event can also expect:

  • Exclusive prize ceremony;
  • Live performance by top artists and the evening’s headliner (announcement coming soon)!
  • Activities and surprises from the N1 Partners team;

Still Not Too Late to Join

N1 Puzzle Promo runs until December 31, 2025, and partners still have time to collect puzzle pieces, climb the leaderboard, and compete for the grand prize and additional rewards. Traffic from Tier-1 GEOs counts toward the ranking, and only registered N1 Partners partners can participate.

All details and registration are available at: https://n1.partners/puzzle_promo

There’s still time! Collect your puzzle pieces, level up in the leaderboard — and your team might be the one taking home the Robinson R22 Beta II right off the stage in Barcelona!
