Gaming ewallet, MuchBetter, today announced Felipe “Mojave” Ramos, as MuchBetter’s latest brand ambassador. Representing GGPoker, home to many of the world’s top poker professionals, including Daniel Negreanu and Bryn Kenney. Felipe is also a poker coach, television host and entrepreneur, and has a large social media following for his “Poker Lifestyle” brand. Felipe will work with MuchBetter to reach the global online poker community – especially fans in his native Brazil where he is one of the most influential people in poker.

The partnership starts this week ahead of the launch of Felipe’s new poker training courses, as well as his regular #mojaCOOP poker tournament series. Felipe chose MuchBetter as his payment brand since he needed a global partner to help coordinate payments during these events, and had seen MuchBetter’s success with other pros/streamers such as Lex and Felix.

Brazil is an important growing market for MuchBetter, and the company expects that Felipe’s endorsement will help them demonstrate the value of its services to new customers in the region – namely the ease of use and security of its payment services.

“Poker is one of the most popular games in Brazil, surpassed only be the nation’s love of football,” said MuchBetter co-founder and CEO, Israel Rosenthal. “Brazil is a hugely important market for us. With its large population, fast growing digital commerce sector and love of poker, this kind of partnership is a great fit. We’ve made significant progress in the Brazilian market already, but I expect Felipe’s endorsement to push us even further. In our events with Felipe, we want to demonstrate the MuchBetter is the most technologically advanced product on the market, letting players make deposits with just their smartphone and fingerprint, in a matter of seconds.”

“I wanted to find a payments partner that was an emerging force on the poker scene, which would give my fans the best user experience,” said Felipe “Mojave” Ramos. “The MuchBetter team really understands poker and what players want, and I’ve seen this in their work with other poker pros. I have big things planned for growing the Poker Lifestyle brand, and MuchBetter will play an important part in all future events.”

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:

“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

ThrillTech said it has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to offer its side-bet jackpot technology to regulated online casino, sports betting, and lottery operators in Ontario.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.

ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.
