YGAM Student Hub goes LIVE for Freshers Week

The Young Gamers and Gamblers Education Trust (YGAM) has launched its new Student Hub website (www.students.ygam.org), a unique resource developed by students for students to raise awareness of gaming and gambling-related harm.
As students return to university this month, the launch of this new digital platform aims to help prevent students from experiencing harm by providing them with expert information and support. Research published by YGAM in 2019 showed that 264,000 students are at some risk of gambling-related harm in the UK with around 88,000 already defined as problem gamblers.
The new Student Hub website features advice for students on how to make the most of their life at university while avoiding the risks of gaming and gambling-related harm. The website includes interactive elements along with lived experience case studies to further highlight the concerning issue of gambling and gaming addiction on university campuses.
Mike Wojcik, CEO of Queen Mary University of London Students’ Union and Chair of Trustees for YGAM said: “YGAM has developed an accessible, interactive resource with excellent content. It’s a superb digital platform which delivers what the charity was set up to do: inform, educate and safeguard young and potentially vulnerable young people.”
There is concern that this year poses a particular risk for students, with research indicating that the COVID-19 pandemic may be associated with higher levels of stress, depression, and feelings of isolation within the 18-24 age group. According to YGAM’s research, these conditions are associated with increased gambling and problem gaming behaviour among university students.
The new Student Hub resource is a key component of YGAM’s response to this situation. The website builds on YGAM’s existing student engagement programme, which recruits students on a part-time basis to deliver awareness campaigns on campus.
Pete Woodward, Head of Delivery for University and Student Engagement at YGAM, said: “Student life has changed dramatically this year, and we knew YGAM had to respond accordingly. Our Student Hub is the first of its kind: a resource created for and with students, ensuring they get the information and education to make informed choices. We will be gathering insights from this online portal and sharing what we find with our partners at other universities and students’ unions. Together, we can work towards a higher education environment free from gaming and gambling related harm.”

Hitting for six: SPRIBE announces Suresh Raina as Aviator brand ambassador

Indian cricket legend becomes the latest athlete to promote the world’s number one crash games to his fans
SPRIBE, the pioneering software provider behind the world’s number one crash game, Aviator, has added cricket legend Suresh Raina to its growing roster of brand ambassadors.
Raina is a former Indian international cricketer known for his explosive batting, sharp fielding and inspiring team leadership.
He was a key player in India’s 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup victory and was also a star player for the Chennai Super Kings, helping the team secure multiple Indian Premier League titles.
His accolades don’t stop there. Raina was the first Indian to score a T20I century and remains one of League’s top run-scorers to this day.
Outside of cricket, he’s a successful entrepreneur, philanthropist and influential public figure.
As an Aviator brand ambassador, Raina will promote the game to his fans across various channels and through a range of campaigns over the coming 12 months.
He joins other Aviator brand ambassadors such as UFC superstars like Tom Aspinall, Alex Pereira, Johnny Walker and Merab Dvalishvili.
Aviator is the original crash game with more than 42 million active players a month placing upwards of 350,000 bets per minute across more than 5,500 online casino sites.
David Natroshvili, Founder & CEO at SPRIBE, said: “We are hitting for six with the partnership with Suresh, one of the most iconic and celebrated cricketers in India.
“Suresh was renowned for his explosive batting and thrilling style of play, and this makes him the perfect person to help us drive awareness of Aviator among cricket and sports fans in India.
“Aviator is the original crash game and players love the high-risk/high-reward gameplay it provides, and we are really looking forward to rolling out campaigns featuring Suresh that show this.”
Suresh Raina, former Indian cricketer and now Aviator ambassador, added: “Playing Aviator is the closest I have come to the thrill of playing professional cricket and I couldn’t be happier to help drive awareness of the game among my fans and followers.
“Aviator is action-packed with tons of social interaction and plenty of big win potential. Players have control over the outcome as they get to decide when to cash out – for those that can hold their nerve the longest, the biggest prizes await.
“SPRIBE has some great campaigns planned for the months ahead and I look forward to working with the team to help Aviator really take flight among cricket fans in India and beyond.”

Checkd Dev Launches Automated Betting System with William Hill

Leading iGaming technology provider Checkd Development, part of the award-winning Checkd Group, has partnered with William Hill to launch its Automated Betting System (ABS), enhancing efficiency and engagement in pre-match football and horse racing betting.
Through this partnership, William Hill has introduced a range of automated, one-click accumulator bets, powered by Checkd Dev’s innovative ABS technology. The system offers users a familiar betting journey, enriched with contextual datapoints, while providing operators with a robust backend solution for efficient bet creation and management.
Next-Generation Betting Automation
At the heart of ABS is Checkd Dev’s proprietary ‘BRUNO’ platform, which powers all of Checkd’s in-house media products and an expanding portfolio of Tier 1 Operator and Media client solutions. This advanced platform automates accumulator bets at scale, leveraging betting trends, pricing data, and user behavior insights to drive engagement and conversion.
First launched in 2024 in collaboration with Flutter Group’s Sky Bet, Checkd Dev’s ABS has since evolved to further optimise accumulator bet presentation and simplify bet-slip journeys. With the ability to automate bet generation across multiple brands and territories, the system reduces manual workloads for trading teams while delivering highly relevant, data-driven betting opportunities.
For football betting, bets are dynamically categorised based on historical form, giving bettors greater insight and confidence in their selections. The system’s user interface (UI) has been refined over two years through deployments with multiple Tier 1 operators and media partners, ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience.
Industry Leaders on the Partnership
Sandro Di Michele, Director of Horse Racing at William Hill, commented: “This partnership between William Hill and Checkd Dev demonstrates how committed we are to delivering new innovative products to our customers. The ability to deliver at speed has been vital, allowing us to launch both our pre-match football and horse racing products seamlessly ahead of the Cheltenham Festival.”
Andrew Grimshaw, Commercial Director at Checkd Development, added: “At Checkd Dev, we understand the high standards required to support Tier 1 bookmakers in competitive regulated markets. We continue to expand our technology’s distribution and evolve our products, always striving to stay one step ahead with solutions that simplify operations for operators and media owners. Working with the William Hill team has been a pleasure, and we look forward to further collaboration.”
“Checkd Dev’s ABS has evolved since its launch last year, offering smarter, faster, and more engaging betting experiences.”
