Southampton Football Club’s Main Club Partner, Sportsbet.io, has donated their shirt sponsorship and £10,000 to Saints Foundation for the Easter Sunday clash against Burnley, helping to raise awareness and vital funds for the club’s charity.

Saints Foundation’s logo will be displayed across the first team’s shirts during the match at St Mary’s on Sunday 4^th April, with the match worn shirts then being auctioned off to raise further money to support the work Saints Foundation carry out in the local community.

Saints Foundation are asking fans to show their support during the charity matchday by making a £10 donation to the charity in place of the money they would usually spend on a match ticket. By donating, they will be cheering on the Saints transforming lives in the community, as well as those on the pitch.

As a further show of their support for the charity, Sportsbet.io have kindly agreed to match the first 1,000 donations made by fans ahead of the charity matchday, up to a total of £10,000!

The generous gesture from Sportsbet.io comes in direct response to a difficult year for Saints Foundation, who have missed out on over £300,000 of expected fundraising income at a time when the Foundation’s services are desperately needed. Despite those challenges, Saints Foundation has continued to support thousands of people in need across Southampton and the surrounding area during the past 12 months.

It will also give Saints Foundation the platform to cast a spotlight on some of the inspiring stories from participants who have transformed their lives with the charity’s support, which will be shared across club channels in the days leading up to the charity matchday.

Fans can also support the charity by purchasing a limited-edition replica shirt featuring Saints Foundation’s logo, with all proceeds from each sale going directly to Saints Foundation. Further details as to when these will go on sale will be released on Saints Foundation’s digital channels in due course.

David Thomas, Southampton Football Club’s Chief Commercial Officer commented: “We are incredibly grateful to Sportsbet.io for this unique opportunity that they are providing to Saints Foundation. Their generosity will help raise both awareness and vital funds so that our charity can continue to support the local community through these difficult times.

“No doubt the thousands of participants who Saints Foundation support annually will be immensely proud to see the team take to the pitch displaying the charity’s logo on Sunday 4^th April.”

Joe McCallum, Head of Sportsbet.io, said: “Supporting local communities in these difficult times is important and it is our absolute pleasure as partners of the Saints to help raise awareness for the club’s charity. The work Saints Foundation has been carrying out over the past year is invaluable and we’re here to support them every step of the way.”

Saints Foundation’s Charity Matchday will be celebrated at Southampton’s Premier League fixture against Burnley FC on Sunday 4^th April.

Malta based iGaming software developer, Just Slots, has just announced the release of its second game, Shogun Skylord, which aims to build on the success of its first game and ultimately soar high into players esteem.

Just Slots’ next game titled ‘Shogun Skylord’ is set to release on the 24th February and harkens back to feudal Japan, but with an avian twist where samurai birds reign supreme. Just as the game plays on historical themes, Just Slots also pay homage to their development history and give players returning features such as two bonus buys – a fan favourite in their debut game, Sugar Heaven. Shogun Skylord also aims to generate a whirlwind momentum with fresh features by offering free spins with progressive multipliers, whilst taking things to another level with a 5×6 reel setup with 40 win lines.

Shogun Skylord stands out with other features such as hot spin which enhances the player’s fortunes by increasing the chance of getting into a bonus round. Alongside this are other lordly incentives like multiple RTPs as well as max wins up to 10,000x. The game will go live with renowned operators in the industry including Njord Group, Rhino Entertainment, Stake, Bitcasino, Sportsbet, Mystino and Highroller.

Commenting on their latest game, Christine Parkhill, CCO at Just Slots said, “Whilst Shogun Skylord marks a bold, stylistic departure from our first game, we are staying true to the excitement and innovation that made our debut game such a success. Our new release will transport players into a vivid historical fantasy, where samurai birds battle for the right to rule. We have dedicated time and effort into this game, honing down on offering striking visuals, immersive storytelling and cutting edge gameplay to create an experience that is both engaging and exciting.”

The aim with Shogun Skylord is to emulate Sugar Heaven’s success, which saw it climb to the top ten game on its debut casino. This was in addition to other impressive metrics such as 34% of players returning to Sugar Heaven, with just shy of 10% of overall users playing over 200 spins per session. All of these represent milestone achievements that highlight the quality of work emerging out of the studio.

Shogun Skylord will go live on the 24th February, with Just Slots third game Book of Arcane 100 soon to follow. Shogun Skylord will also be playable on sites such as Pommi.com, CasinoDays.com, Bitcasino.io and Stake.com. Just Slots is also offering potential players the chance to try it before fully launching in, with a publicly accessible demo live on their website.
