SportCaller launches Free Or 4 with William Hill to ramp retention on UK football

Free-to-play specialist is recruited to help drive engagement with intuitive “easy-trigger” game prizes for players of Leeds-based operator
SportCaller, the leading free-to-play (FTP) sports-game provider, has rolled out its latest game, Free Or 4, for Tier-1 operator William Hill, debuting the new football FTP last weekend to an immediate and appreciable spike in engagement.
Free Or 4 simply asks players to select six games in which they reckon three or four total goals will be scored from the Saturday long-list of 3pm UK kick-offs. Make six successful selections, and all correct entries will receive £200 in free sportsbook bets. However, there are also smaller, easy-trigger consolation prizes up for grabs for any customer picking just five, or even four, matches correctly.
The weekly game represents William Hill’s first return to football free-to-play since its Football21 game in 2018 which offered a £10k jackpot each week. Free Or 4 demonstrates an important change in FTP focus, moving away from low-probability prize pots as a means of mass-market acquisition to a far greater level of sophistication and appeal via attainable prizes as a robust method of retention.
Free Or 4 has been built in partnership with William Hill and SportCaller to promote retention, boosting the user experience on a sport whose domestic UK leagues always have a strong bearing on annual revenues. SportCaller continues to innovate new ways in which to acquire and retain repeat-customers at low cost, optimising William Hill’s dynamic customer-base, as the football season rebounds with a digital vengeance from behind closed doors.
The Dublin-based supplier allows its partners to launch a wide range of FTP prediction, jackpot and more hyper-casual game formats with seamless speed across any sport, language or territory via web, iOS, Play Store, Facebook Instant Games or Twitch extensions.
Liam Barbour, Head of Customer Product at William Hill, said: “It’s fantastic to broaden our ongoing collaboration with SportCaller and get back to free-to-play on football, sportsbook’s perennial revenue-driver. We took our time developing Free Or 4, working in tandem with numerous focus groups, customer research and testing so that we could establish a straightforward concept whose intuitive playability instantly resonated with our thriving client-base.
“The results have been both immediate and encouraging and I look forward to seeing how our customers engage with the game throughout the domestic football season. As ever, SportCaller’s gameplay finesse has helped enhance brand loyalty and digital dwell-time, proving themselves versatile masters in the competitive “attention economy” of modern engagement.”
Cillian Barry, MD at SportCaller, said: “Flexibility in the ideation and deployment of FTP games came to the fore during the sporting shutdown, but we’re seeing that trend extend in sync with the new normal. William Hill understand these shifting sands of engagement, so it was a great experience to work alongside their dedicated team, coupled with some illuminating focus-group feedback, to create a game with simplicity, universal appeal and a core retention mechanic at its heart.
“The early engagement levels have been impressive, while the conversion rates to active users speak directly to the trust and brand recognition which these simple “winnable” games can readily foster.”

SBK and The Tenth Man launch fully AI-generated “betting without the bullshit” ad campaign

SBK, the pioneering online sportsbook operator, has teamed up with The Tenth Man, a disruptive creative agency, to launch “Betting without the Bullshit”—a bold, no-nonsense, fully AI-generated 360° campaign ahead of the Premier League season. The campaign marks a category first in sports betting marketing, demonstrating the potential of AI in both creative concept and execution.
At the heart of the campaign is a stripped-back, visually arresting 20-second hero spot that cuts through the clichés, noise, and gimmicks often seen in betting ads. With a clear, confident tone, the ad showcases SBK’s “Best Price” product innovation and best odds promise—no fluff, no distractions.
Conceived, designed, and produced entirely using advanced AI tools by The Tenth Man’s creative team, the campaign is a testament to how AI can accelerate creative timelines while pushing the boundaries of originality and quality.
“At SBK, we’ve always stood for fairness, transparency, and the best odds in the market. ‘Betting without the Bullshit’ says exactly that—no gimmicks, no spin, and a subtle nod to our roots in finance,” said Adam Baylis, Marketing Director at SBK. “Partnering with The Tenth Man on a fully AI-generated campaign allowed us to move quickly, stand out from the crowd, and launch something genuinely different for the new season.”
Ken Robertson, Founder & CEO of The Tenth Man, added:
“We wanted to show what happens when you ditch the overblown nonsense and get to the point—in both message and production. This isn’t AI for the sake of it. It’s AI used to push creative boundaries and get a bold idea into the world faster than the old rules allow.”
The campaign is now live across SBK’s digital and social platforms, with targeted placements timed to coincide with the Premier League’s kick-off, aiming to redefine how sportsbooks connect with modern audiences.

Million Games, the innovative game studio known for its bold and player-first creations, has announced the release of Temple X, a brand-new crash-style adventure game and the thrilling sequel to the fan-favorite Chicken X.
Set high above a misty jungle canopy, Temple X invites players to guide fearless adventurer Texas Jones across the perilous Trail of Echoes—a sky-high path of crumbling stones and rising cash rewards. With each step forward, the potential payout grows. The catch? Players can cash out at any time or risk it all for a final challenge: the Wheel of Echoes—a weathered treasure wheel that randomly boosts or reduces the total reward.
Game Features:
-
Crash mechanics reimagined with a thrilling jungle adventure setting
-
Three trail difficulty levels with rising multipliers: Explorer, Adventurer, and Legend
-
Treasure Wheel finale offering random mystery cash outcomes
-

“With Temple X, we wanted to build on everything players loved about Chicken X — the excitement, the simplicity, the decision-making — but raise the stakes even further,” said Thomas Nimstad, CEO at Million Games. “The addition of the Treasure Wheel was our way of making the ending more engaging and unpredictable. Players who reach it face one last, thrilling decision — spin for a potentially bigger prize or risk losing what they’ve collected. It’s an extra layer of excitement at the end of an already suspenseful game.”
Temple X is now live and available for integration through Million Games’ platform and partner network.
