VibePay, which powers account to account payments between consumers, friends and businesses, today announces the integration with content creator tools and services provider StreamElements to transform the way the gaming community makes and receives tips.

Integrating VibePay with the fastest growing production platforms for live streaming, means gamers can instantly send and receive money from viewers and subscribers, directly from account to account for free. Gamers will no longer be burnt by unfair payment fees and have to waste time sharing bank details through unsafe methods, instead they can now focus on what they love doing the most and receive 100% of their tips.

VibePay is disrupting payments within the gaming industry, benefitting gamers, streamers and their audiences. Partnering with StreamElements and other platforms in the space accelerates VibePay’s mission to make account to account payments the default way to pay and get paid.

Luke Massie, CEO of VibePay, said: “Gaming is one of the most creative and rapidly growing industries in the world, yet the community is still making and receiving tips through dated payment methods. As streaming is the main source of income for many people, they shouldn’t have to pay unfair fees and wait days, or even weeks, to receive tips which they rely on to live. Payments should be instant and seamlessly integrated into the streaming experience with no fees. Through our new partnerships, we want to make content creators’ lives easier and also help others who want to make the streaming dream a reality.”

Shay Ben Yacov, Product Manager at StreamElements, said: “StreamElements provides content creators with the platform to turn their passions and talents into a business. With streaming becoming the main profession for many users on our platform, VibePay will help these creators get paid easily through tips while being able to keep 100% of what they are given. This is just the start of the journey with the team at VibePay and we can’t wait to see what 2021 has in store.”

Rewarding streamers for views

To mark the new partnerships with StreamElements, VibePay is also launching its affiliate programme, which rewards streamers for connecting their viewers to VibePay. This includes referral rewards, sponsored giveaways and competitions.

Through the programme, VibePay will be targeting the biggest names in the streaming world to continue to grow its community, which includes award-winning grime artist, JME, who actively takes part in #VibePayFriday and recently promoted the testing of the product on Twitter.

Massie concluded: “We are on a mission to power the workforce of the future, and the gaming industry is at the heart of this. By integrating with the world’s largest production platform for livestreaming, we will bring our forward-thinking, innovative approach to the gaming community to make VibePay the go-to way to pay and get paid in the streaming world.”

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.

The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.

Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.

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.

“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.

“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”

Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.

“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

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.
