LiveScore and former Manchester United star Dimitar Berbatov have teamed up to encourage fans to take “Extra Added Time” for their mental health. As part of the campaign, LiveScore will donate £250 for every key Premier League moment delivered via its app post-90 minutes throughout November.

“Extra Added Time” comes as added time across all major leagues significantly increases. During the 2023/24 season, Premier League matches saw an additional 38% of play, pushing the average match duration to 101 minutes and 42 seconds.

As fans anxiously watch the clock tick beyond 90 minutes, waiting for a dramatic last-minute goal, or even a red card, LiveScore turns those added time moments into support for the mental wellbeing of the football community.

In addition to a total of £10,000 donated to a leading mental health charity, Bloomsbury Football – an organisation that harnesses the power of football to transform the lives of young people across London – will also benefit from the initiative, receiving £3000 to support its mental health coaching programme.

Spearheading the campaign is Dimitar Berbatov, who scored an equalising penalty for Tottenham as they went on to win the 2008 League Cup Final in extra time. The former Manchester United and Premier League icon is leading the call out for fans to take additional time to focus on their mental health.

The extension of added time in the Premier League has led to a significant surge in goals scored after the 90th minute, rising by over 110% from 49 goals in the 2022/23 season to 103 in 2023/24.

Fans can track the progress of the campaign directly through the LiveScore app, ensuring they can engage with the cause while keeping up with the game’s critical moments.

Extra Added Time ambassador and former Manchester United footballer, Dimitar Berbatov said: “Football has a special power to bring joy to the world, and nothing brings people together like last minute goals.

“That’s why I’m delighted to join LiveScore for Extra Added Time, where the charity donation for every moment in added time will make a big difference, and hopefully, together, we will encourage people to spend more time on their mental health.”

LiveScore CEO Sam Sadi commented: “For over 25 years, LiveScore has been delivering every moment to fans. We are delighted to see this campaign translate these moments into an important donation to charity, as we look to use the power of the sport to support the mental wellbeing of the whole football community.”

Visitors to the stand can take a spin on the Wheel of Fortune, and enjoy signature cocktails inspired by Evoplay’s most iconic games, while a special activity is also planned exclusively for Evoplay’s partners.

The past year saw growth in both Evoplay product portfolio and platforms for partners. Evoplay launched new game types, including its first lottery game, Adrenaline Rush: Scratch, and a football-themed instant game, the latest edition in the Penalty Shoot-out trilogy which combines the best elements of the previous two titles, Penalty Shoot-out: Super Cup. Evoplay also continued to innovate with games featuring new mechanics for the iGaming world like Hot Slice and Tap Craze, which especially appeal to modern players.

One of the most notable achievements was Uncrossable Rush, the studio’s first co-developed title created in partnership with the analytics platform SlotCatalog. Based on SlotCatalog’s deep player insights and data analysis, combined with Evoplay’s innovative design and technical expertise, Uncrossable Rush represents a fresh approach to game creation.

Beyond games, the studio introduced several platform updates, including an enhanced Client Area, and the launch of an all-in-one Affiliate Hub – a platform which provides Evoplay’s media and affiliate partners with access to exclusive materials of Evoplay’s innovative slots and instant games. The company also introduced Evoplay Media, a resource that shares the latest company news, insightful articles with industry experts, and other valuable content.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “SBC Summit Lisbon is the perfect stage to celebrate eight incredible years of Evoplay. This year’s show is all about saying thank you to our clients, partners, and players, and inviting them to share in the energy and creativity that drives everything we do.
