TWITS TROLLING ON TWITTER: JAMIE REDKNAPP INVESTIGATES WIDELY-DETESTED KEYBOARD WARRIORS

The popular Paddy Power series returns with a second episode as Redknapp tackles internet trolling 

Jamie Redknapp is back with another hard-hitting episode of Paddy Power‘s Jamie Redknapp Investigates, the series that sees former footballer-turned-pundit uncover the beautiful game’s uglier side. 

The first episode saw Redknapp look at the modern embarssament of half-and-half scarves, and in episode two of the new series, the football legend meets one the game’s most annoying new elements, as he tracks down a real life Twitter troll. 

Redknapp meets Rodney “Rodders” Harris in his bedroom at his mum’s home and explores some of the footballing burns he uses on Twitter. Rodney explains that he loves to “take the team names and tweak them just a little bit and turn them into sick insults”.  

Some of the “best” he can come up with include naming Liverpool “Loserfool” and renaming their ground to “Analfield”. 

Looking for an explanation, Redknapp interviews an expert on Football Twitter Syndrome (FTS). “The whole point of football Twitter is getting attention and gaining traction. These people will do anything for numbers” warns Dr. Valarie Pepper, an expert on the impact social media can have on society. 

She goes on to explain that football fans online will engage in pointless arguments and be controversial for the sake of it, these trolls can continue with their words of hatred until they have “ratioed you into oblivion”.

Redknapp confronts Rodney on his constant use online of words like “virgin” and questions why he’s so obsessed with that word. 

“Well, it might be a little obsession for all those little virgins, Jamie, but not for me. Not with the amount of sex I do” Rodney quickly comes back, as Redknapp breaks into laughter.  

People closest to Rodney are equally confused by his love for trolling, with his mum pleading that, “I don’t know why they can’t just be nice to one another on the Twitters”. 

And Redknapp has some key advice for those faced by aggressive trolls. “Block and move on. Block and move on.”

Spokesman Paddy Power said: “Thanks to the Jamie, we now know something we long suspected! That Twitter trolls are just a bunch of Rodney’s in their parents homes surrounded by sticky clothes.  

“Of course everyone’s allowed an opinion on football, but if you come across a helmet like Rodders, take Jamie’s advice and just bloke and move on. And just be glad you’re not the one who has to clean his socks.”

Vegangster Gives Operators Real-Time Jackpot Control and a New Revenue Stream with Sharedluck’s JackpotX

Platform provider Vegangster has completed the integration of JackpotX, a flexible jackpot engine developed by Sharedluck, giving operators a new way to run scalable jackpot campaigns across brands and game catalogues. The integration focuses on player-contribution jackpots, creating an additional revenue stream for operators.

JackpotX provides more granular control than traditional jackpot tools. Operators can configure several jackpot tiers, define custom triggers, and adjust campaign parameters in real time without downtime. This makes it easier to launch targeted campaigns quickly and align jackpots with specific retention or promotional objectives.

With the integration, Vegangster clients can manage jackpots directly inside their existing back office. Campaigns can be linked to selected brands, game groups, or specific player cohorts, with real-time performance insights available through Sharedluck’s dashboards. This helps teams monitor engagement, track contribution levels, and optimise campaigns while they are Running.

For players, jackpot values update in real time across all touchpoints, including lobby displays, game interfaces, and promotional banners, creating visible momentum as prizes grow. This transparency drives catalogue exploration and extends session time, giving operators a practical tool for supporting both short-term promotional bursts and longer-term engagement Strategies.

Michael Oziransky, Chief Product Officer at Vegangster, said:

“Jackpots remain one of the clearest levers for engagement in online casinos. Sharedluck built an engine that offers operators the level of precision and flexibility they expect from modern tools. With JackpotX inside Vegangster, teams can run customised jackpot campaigns at the speed their operations require.”

The partnership brings Sharedluck’s jackpot engine directly into Vegangster’s ecosystem, giving operators a straightforward way to deploy contribution-based jackpots and track performance through real-time analytics.

Chris Scicluna, Co-Founder at Sharedluck, said:

“We are excited to bring JackpotX to Vegangster operators. In successful campaigns, we have seen higher retention, longer session times, stronger conversion from casual to regular play, and clear uplift in VIP-focused promotions. We look forward to seeing Vegangster clients achieve similar results.”

The integration is now available for all Vegangster operators. Existing clients can enable JackpotX through their account manager, with configuration handled inside the Vegangster back office and supported by Sharedluck’s analytics dashboards. New operators can access the module during onboarding as part of their standard setup process.

Operators can get a closer look at JackpotX at ICE Barcelona, Fira Barcelona Gran Via, 19–21 January 2026, with live demos available at stand 1E20.
