Footy Accumulators Betting Hub a hit with operators as app delivers record player numbers
Footy Accumulators’ Betting Hub app is primed for further tier-one operator API integrations after setting new performance records in 2021.
The user-friendly betting companion app from Footy Accumulators, the betting community brand which is part of Checkd Group, saw a record number of bets placed in January 2021, with a 20% increase on the previous monthly best.
Betting Hub is now set to hit a total of 200,000 unique users across iOS and Android after successful API integrations with some of the sports betting industry’s biggest names including bet365, Paddy Power and Betfair, with more tier-one deals set up to roll out in the near future.
The integrations mean that customers can login, check their balance and place bets without leaving the app, leading to a much slicker user experience.
Within Betting Hub, the Smart Acca tool has proven extremely popular, recently passing an overall total of one million selections added to betslips and establishing itself as a key USP for both attracting and retaining app users.
Smart Acca allows for fixtures to be organised based on form and statistical analysis. The user can choose their preferred betting markets and the tool will present those games which are statistically most likely to be a favourable choice based on pre-processed historical OPTA data. The accumulator builder allows users to easily build their bets from these selections and place them with the operator of their choice.
Checkd Group is a fast-growing iGaming affiliate based in Manchester, UK. As well as Footy Accumulators its Checkd Media division runs popular affiliate brands Oddschanger and The Winners Enclosure, while the Checkd Development division is responsible for the group’s technology platform and product suite.
Adam Patton, MD at Checkd Development, said: “Month-on-month, Betting Hub is delivering increased gains across a number of commercial and customer engagement metrics for our API partners.
“With new milestones consistently being achieved by Betting Hub, a lot of which being driven by the Smart Acca tool, we are focused on building on the success through ongoing product improvements. We also look forward to rolling out new API integrations with additional tier-one operators in the coming months.”

ANJL challenges Rio Grande do Sul law banning lottery advertising in court
The National Association of Gaming and Lotteries (ANJL) is challenging, in court, Law No. 16.508/2026, enacted in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, which bans lottery advertising in the state.
The entity has filed a Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI No. 7971) before the Federal Supreme Court (STF), arguing that the state law interferes with matters under federal jurisdiction, particularly by imposing restrictions with direct effects on broadcasting activities and on the placement of advertising in media outlets regulated at the federal level.
The central issue in the dispute goes beyond the lottery market.
The controversy primarily concerns the limits of state authority over advertising content broadcast on radio, television, and other media subject to nationwide federal regulation.
By establishing a broad advertising ban, the state law creates practical obstacles for broadcasters, media outlets, agencies, and operators acting in compliance with federal legislation, generating legal uncertainty about which messages can be transmitted, through which channels, and under what conditions.
According to the association, the state restriction also creates a significant regulatory issue: by preventing advertising from companies authorized and supervised at the federal level, the law reduces the communication capacity of the legal market without effectively addressing illegal platforms operating outside the regulatory framework and ignoring public authority restrictions.
In practice, the measure may shift the debate away from consumer protection toward a generalized restriction on communication, with direct impacts on broadcasting and on the freedom to advertise lawful products.
For ANJL, responsible advertising is an essential tool to differentiate licensed operators from illegal websites.
It is through advertising that consumers can identify regulated companies, protection mechanisms, official channels, and responsible gaming practices.
A broad ban, on the other hand, tends to create asymmetry: while legal companies lose the ability to communicate through formal and auditable channels, unlicensed operators continue using aggressive, unregulated strategies often aimed at vulnerable audiences, without any state control.
