Innovative Technology reported a busy, networking event at The Autumn Coin-Op (ACOS) last week following a long-awaited return to the exhibition calendar for the amusement industry. The annual show took place over two days at the new venue for 2021, ILEC Conference Centre, Earls Court, London.

Andy Bullock, Senior Business Development Manager said, “It was fantastic to see colleagues and customers in-person last week – we have not attended an event in the UK since February 2020, so this exhibition was long overdue and most welcome! Our stand was packed out on both days, and we received some really positive feedback on the products we were showcasing.”

Andy continued, “Our NV22 Spectral recycler went down a storm with the visitors. Although this was not the first showing to the industry, customers didn’t recall all the benefits and how this could really improve cash handling efficiencies, as they had not seen the product since before the COVID pandemic began. The NV22S is a market leading, compact mixed note recycler which combines a NV9 Spectral banknote validator and ‘Multi Note Float’ payout unit. It can store and recycle up to 40 mixed notes, maximising cash efficiency and reducing coin starvation as well as significantly reducing operational costs. We also updated customers about the NV9 Spectral range now fully supporting the £50 note, due to the new polymer note dimensions being narrower and Spectral Technology providing high end security validation. The next Technical Bulletin will follow for our customers to download the free dataset updates.”

“The team had some exciting conversations about ICU age verification and facial recognition. Safer gambling is high on everyone’s agenda so it was good to talk to Operators about how they can use ICU age verification to combat underage gambling, plus utilise facial recognition to assist with ensuring their self-exclusion policies are implemented and adhered to. Our product has key advantages when compared to other offerings in the market; it requires no internet, has no recurring fees and it offers world leading accuracy.”

Concluding Andy commented, “It was also great to see CashGenic – our hygienic cash automation offering, being utilised on a customer’s stand in a change redemption machine. We’re working closely with our CashGenic partners in the UK who supply this full solution to enable customers wanting to pay by cash to do so safely and hygienically. Overall, the show was a great success for us, and we look forward to the next gaming and amusement events scheduled in the calendar for 2022.”

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.
