Pickswise Showcases Roster Of New Talent In Marquee Daily & Weekly Sports Betting Shows
Pickswise, a leading U.S. digital and mobile platform for free betting analysis and advice, has unveiled two new digital betting shows, headlined by top hosts and analysts. Airing on the Pickswise YouTube channel, the daily program Let’s Bet It and weekly NFL show Pickswise Playbook feature expert commentary and insights from Pickswise’s burgeoning talent roster, including hosts Chris Rose and Lauren Jbara, former NFL player Ross Tucker, former NFL front-office executive Jim Monos, and betting analysts Jared Smith and Alex Glaze.
One of the fastest-growing publishers of betting content in the country, Pickswise is designed to provide simple, free, actionable insights to the 97% of bettors who say they are interested in research and analysis before placing a wager, and 80% who say they trust content from outlets not directly affiliated with a sportsbook.
Featuring Jbara, Smith and Glaze, Let’s Bet It airs daily and includes expert analysis, predictions, lighthearted entertainment and special guests like Monos to provide unique insights around all of the day’s top sporting events.
Pickswise Playbook focuses on professional football, offering betting insights and football analysis every Thursday from Rose, Tucker and Smith.
“It has been amazing to see such a unique collection of talent with diverse backgrounds and perspectives come together and gel so quickly,” said Dan Pozner, Spotlight Sports Group’s VP of Content. “In order to stand out from the crowd in the increasingly competitive world of betting content, it’s crucial to find the right mix of personalities, styles and levels of expertise. These six amazing broadcasters have already begun to form magnetic chemistry, which results in a one-of-a-kind presentation.”
Pickswise’s roster of experts features:
- Chris Rose, who has served as a play-by-play commentator for the NFL and MLB, as well as a studio host for several critically acclaimed programs, including NFL GameDay Prime with Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders and Intentional Talk on MLB Network.
- Lauren Jbara, who has worked as a sideline host and reporter for the Detroit Red Wings, Detroit Pistons, United Shore Professional Baseball Team and most recently the Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Rapids on Altitude TV.
- Ross Tucker, a former NFL offensive lineman and All-American from Princeton turned businessman and game analyst for the Philadelphia Eagles, CBS Sports and Westwood One.
- Jim Monos, the former Director of Player Personnel for the Buffalo Bills and longtime NFL scout, with a long track record of helping draft key players for multiple franchises.
- Jared Smith, who has more than 10 years of experience in sports media and nearly two decades as a sports bettor.
- Alex Glaze, an award-winning reporter who spent the past four years working as a sports anchor, host and reporter for Atlanta’s NBC affiliate, where he also created his own sports betting show.
“The opportunity to reunite with [Chris] Rose and be a part of Pickswise Playbook alongside him and Jared was just too good to pass up,” said Tucker. “Collectively, we have decades of sports and betting knowledge, and our goal each week is to arm bettors with informed insights and analysis to help enhance their play and hopefully come out on top.”

Amusnet Marks Strategic Entry into North America with Ontario Licence
Amusnet is entering the North American market after securing a Gaming-Related Supplier–Manufacturer Registration from the AGCO in Ontario, Canada, marking a strategic milestone in the group’s global expansion.
Licensing grants Amusnet access to Ontario’s regulated iGaming market, which is one of the most established and fast-growing jurisdictions in North America, known for its robust regulatory framework and strong long-term growth potential.
It will allow the supplier to offer online gaming content to licensed operators in the province, officially establishing its presence in the region. Amusnet will initially roll out its iGaming portfolio, with the option to expand into Land-based solutions at a later stage.
Ontario’s regulatory framework emphasises strict compliance, ensuring that all suppliers adhere to high standards in technology, security and player protection. This makes Ontario a key benchmark market for companies entering North America. The new registration further confirms that Amusnet has successfully met these rigorous requirements for integrity and regulatory compliance, enabling it to distribute its content across the province.
“Securing the AGCO licence is an important milestone for Amusnet and reflects our long-term commitment to operating in fully regulated markets. Our entry into Ontario represents a key strategic step into North America, which is a high-priority region with strong long-term growth potential. We look forward to partnering with local operators and building a sustainable presence in the market,” said Ivo Georgiev, CEO of Amusnet.
