The annual Flutter Charity Ball has raised over £282,000 to help fund potentially life-changing clinical trials for leading blood cancer charity, Cure Leukaemia.

In the run up to the huge event, Flutter, parent company for Sky Betting & Gaming, Betfair, Paddy Power & tombola raised over £75,000 – bringing the total amount raised for the charity to an extraordinary £357,000.

The money will go towards funding the recently launched ATICUS network, which costs £1 million per year to run and supports 15 centres or hospitals across the UK, including Leeds, Manchester and London.

For the first time, children living with blood cancer across the nation will have access to potentially lifesaving, innovative treatments through this national clinical trial infrastructure.

Hundreds gathered at a huge event at the Royal Armouries at New Dock Hall in Leeds last night, hosted by ITV Racing presenters Ed Chamberlin and Oli Bell.

Ed Chamberlin said: “I look forward to hosting the Flutter Charity Ball for Cure Leukaemia every year, not least because it’s a fun night, but also because I had my own brush with cancer in the past.

“At the time, I found myself next to a children’s ward where I watched kids undergo treatment first hand. Knowing funds raised could ultimately accelerate access to less harmful treatments for children puts the importance of the entire night into perspective.”

ATICUS Network Ambassador George Lineker, son of well-known former England footballer and Cure Leukaemia patron Gary Lineker OBE, added: “I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia as a two-month-old baby. I still cannot imagine how my family must have felt being told their child had a 10-20% chance of survival. But I was one of the lucky ones. Funds raised for Cure Leukaemia could ultimately help change the fate of so many who might otherwise not be as fortunate.”

James McLaughlin, CEO of Cure Leukaemia, added: “We are thrilled and deeply grateful for the incredible support shown at the Flutter Ball. The funds raised will make a profound impact on our mission to bring hope to the 250,000 people living with blood cancer in the UK. This generosity not only empowers groundbreaking research but also brings us closer to a future free from this devastating disease.”

To a backdrop of entertainment, including a darts competition against PDC World Darts tour professional Joe Cullen, guests dug deep after Jo and Jim Hawkridge put Flutter’s donation into perspective, sharing the story of their son Jude, who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and ran out of options for treatment via the NHS.

“As a family, we support Cure Leukaemia because we need more trials. We need to get the trials that are available for adults and children. Without these trials my son would no longer be here.”

Steve Birch, Chief Commercial Officer for Sky Betting & Gaming and tombola, said: “The charity ball is always our biggest fundraising event, and every year our colleagues and partners never disappoint as they come together to raise money for well-deserving causes.

“I’ve visited the Christie Research Centre in Manchester, which is one of 15 centres that Cure Leukaemia support, and I saw myself the importance and impact that the money Flutter has raised over the last year makes. We are truly grateful for the generosity of attendees who collectively helped us to raise a great amount for Cure Leukaemia so they can continue their work to find a cure for blood cancer.”

The charity ball forms part of Flutter’s larger global pledge to Do More for its communities as part of its worldwide 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.

N1 Partners wrapped up a dynamic week at Affiliate World Asia 2025 in Bangkok, strengthening relationships with industry leaders, taking part in key networking events, engaging with iGaming media, and celebrating a major milestone — winning “The Best Gambling/Betting Affiliate Program” at the Affiliate Space Awards 2025 by Conversion Club.

Across the conference, side events, and business  meetings, the team aligned strategies for 2026, discussed performance trends, explored new collaboration formats, and presented upcoming product updates. These conversations shaped a more focused partnership roadmap for the year ahead.

A defining moment of AWA week was N1 Partners’ success  at the Affiliate Space Awards 2025 by Conversion Club. N1 Parthers was named “Best Gambling/Betting Affiliate Program”. Determined by peer voting and expert evaluation, the award reflects the affiliate program’s proven results, reliability, and consistently strong performance recognized across the industry.

“We’re incredibly grateful for this recognition,” says Alexa Bond, Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners. “What truly makes this program the best is the product depth across our brands, a hands-on affiliate managers team that is always present, and partner conditions designed with care – all that meets affiliates where they are. Winning this award isn’t just about N1 Partners, but every affiliate who grows with us. This is our common win.”

The team also joined the Affiliate Drinks Meetup Bangkok 2025, where the relaxed  setting encouraged direct, meaningful discussions on performance, GEO strategies, and long-term cooperation.

Throughout the week, N1 Partners was present at Fridman Palace, a curated business space where industry leaders gathered for strategic meetings. As the sponsor of the smoking lounge, the company hosted partners in a comfortable, premium environment designed for meaningful conversations and high-level deal-making.

With the Bangkok chapter concluded, the focus now shifts to Barcelona 2026, where N1 Partners will host the grand finale of the N1 Puzzle Promo during iGB/ICE Europe week. The celebration will feature exclusive prizes, a high-energy entertainment program, and the reveal of the Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter winner — setting the stage for one of the most anticipated events of the upcoming iGaming year.

N1 Partners extends its thanks to everyone who connected with the team in Bangkok, shared insights, and contributed to the energy of this week.

Next stop: Barcelona.

Groundbreaking singing game for wellness and creativity expands beyond VR with a PC Gaming release planned for 2026, with the support of Tuned Global’s backend music platform enabling scalable catalogue delivery and lyric integration.

 Realize Music, in collaboration with leading music and media technology platform Tuned Global, announces the launch of Realize Music: Sing, now available on the Meta Quest Store. Co-founded by veteran publisher Mike Wilson, best known as the co-founder of Devolver Digital and Gathering of Developers, the company is positioning Sing as Wilson’s final major venture in the gaming industry; a project that bridges music, wellness, and play across both VR and traditional platforms. Known for championing creativity and emotional depth in gaming, Wilson’s work has consistently challenged the boundaries of what interactive experiences can express.

To support this vision, Realize Music recently selected Tuned Global to power the music backend that enables Sing’s extensive licensed catalogue across platforms.

Launching first on Meta Quest, with plans to expand to additional platforms later in 2026, Sing marks one of the largest music collaborations ever seen in gaming. At release, the app features over one million of the most iconic popular songs officially licensed from Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and Beggars Group, covering an unparalleled range of genres and decades, with new songs to be added regularly. It transforms singing into a hands-on, interactive experience where players can explore, express, and unwind through sound.

Announcing the launch on Meta Quest, Realize Music: Sing also marks the start of its next phase. A Steam PC gaming version and additional platforms are planned for 2026, expanding Sing beyond virtual reality and into new spaces for interactive music and wellness.

“We’ve always believed that games can help people feel better, not just entertained,” said Meta Quest, Realize Music: Sing Co-Founder, Mike Wilson. “Sing is about rediscovering joy without judgment or pressure, through the simple act of raising your own voice and watching the world respond. It’s the kind of project I’ve always hoped to finish my career on, and I hope it inspires other creators to focus their energies on beneficial media.”

“Realize Music: Sing is a breakthrough moment for music-driven wellbeing,” said Con Raso, CEO of Tuned Global. “We’re proud to support the Realize Music team with innovative music technology that empowers their vision and brings it to life in such an exciting way. From licensed catalogue delivery to lyrics and reporting, Sing shows what becomes possible when creativity, wellness, and responsible music innovation come together.”

Players can preview songs for free, purchase individual tracks or albums à la carte, or subscribe for unlimited access. Subscriptions launch at an introductory price of $9.99 per month for the first two months, before moving to $14.99 per month or $119.99 per year.

Realize Music: Sing is available now on the Meta Quest Store.
