– Followers of content creators will be rewarded for increased engagement –

– New ecosystem will empower viewers of content, just as creators are rewarded for producing popular content –

Xcademy, the online platform that provides people with the tools to become successful content creators, is going to make it easier for both content creators and their followers to be rewarded by increasing their engagement on YouTube.

Xcademy is addressing a problem that exists where content creators are not rewarded commensurately according to the time and effort they put into filming and producing content, meanwhile viewers receive nothing at all. By rewarding both content creators and viewers, Xcademy’s solution will enrich online content with better quality and greater engagement.

Currently, YouTube only rewards those influencers with large numbers of followers, but Xcademy’s enhanced platform will reward the followers of YouTubers as well as the content creators themselves. With over 80,000 users Xcademy has built a thriving ecosystem where, via in depth video tutorials, people of all ages can learn valuable life skills, how to create engaging content and run a successful YouTube channel. By rewarding viewers of content as well as the creators, Xcademy will engender more engagement, feedback, collaboration and an even greater sense of community within the platform.

Oliver Bell, CEO and co-founder of Xcademy, said:

“We set up Xcademy with the vision of transforming the way people can learn and create the best and most engaging content for their audiences. But we soon realised that it’s the audiences that are an important part of the jigsaw and so by rewarding them for watching videos, we are able to build a much richer ecosystem that benefits both creators and viewers.”

The platform will be powered by a new token economy that will allow for both content creators and content viewers to be rewarded for their engagement. The more a content creator’s audience grows and milestones are hit, the more tokens they will earn, providing the opportunity to earn more from their content. Meanwhile, content consumers will earn tokens for viewing and engaging with their favourite creators.

Oliver Bell continued:

“We believe it is only fair for the consumers of YouTube content to be rewarded just as those who provide the content. We also want to empower consumers of content to be able to learn via Xcademy’s suite of educational videos and tools and go onto become successful content creators themselves. By building this new token driven content generation and engagement economy, we want to enable further incentivisation and monetisation for creators and viewers alike.”

The platform will be powered by the Zilliqa blockchain, which will enable the tokenisation of the ecosystem.

Score Queens, a new female-first sports gaming community, has launched with Palace Picks, a free-to-play daily predictor game created for this summer’s World Cup.

Palace Picks runs throughout the tournament and asks players to answer five multiple-choice predictor questions plus one score prediction linked to that day’s matches. Players collect “Jewels” through participation, which the company says can be used to unlock raffle tickets for the headline prize.

The product has been developed in collaboration with Two-Up, a digital agency focused on sports, betting and gaming experiences. Score Queens said the partnership combines its brand positioning with Two-Up’s product, UX and digital delivery work.

The launch prize, sponsored by Vision4Sport, is a Monaco Grand Prix 2027 experience for one winner and a guest. The package includes Friday attendance with two grandstand passes, two superyacht party tickets in Port Hercule with food and drinks, and £1,500 towards flights and accommodation. Score Queens values the prize at over £5,000.

Kitty Miller, Founder of Score Queens, said: “Score Queens came from a very simple frustration. Women are already watching sport, talking about sport and being part of the big sporting moments, but so much of the betting and gaming world still feels like it wasn’t built with us in mind.

“Palace Picks is our first step in changing that. It is free to play, easy to join, and designed to bring more women into the sporting conversation through play, prediction, culture and community. We wanted to create something that feels fun, social and accessible, without dumbing anything down.”

Lottomart launches Flash Pots, adding ThrillTech’s operator-branded jackpots to its regulated markets.

ThrillTech has launched its ThrillPots side-bet jackpot product with Lottomart across the operator’s regulated UK and Gibraltar markets.

The rollout introduces Flash Pots, a ThrillPots-powered jackpot game integrated within Lottomart’s gaming platform. ThrillTech said the deployment expands its UK footprint and adds another regulated-market operator to its integration network.

ThrillPots is an operator-branded jackpot layer designed to sit alongside existing betting and gaming products. Players opt in by placing a small additional stake alongside eligible gameplay—such as slots, live casino games or sports bets—for a chance to enter pooled jackpot prizes.

Ben Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Lottomart is exactly the kind of operator ThrillPots is built for. Lottomart is renowned for offering the excitement of jackpots and we’re delighted that ThrillPots can elevate the experience for players.”

Chris Ruddock, Commercial Director at Lottomart commented: “Jackpot-centric gaming is core to the Lottomart experience, making this partnership a natural evolution of our offering. While our players are already engaged with our Jackpot pooled prizes, this collaboration allows us to bring a uniquely branded proposition to our players. We are thrilled to introduce Flash Pots, our new ThrillPots powered jackpot, to the site.”

ThrillTech said it is now live across 10 regulated jurisdictions and has recently announced partnerships with NordPlay, EstrelaBet in Brazil, the Tote Group and BVGroup’s UK brands such as Betano, talkSPORT Bet and Heart Bingo. The company also said it holds ISO 27001 certification.
