On Air Entertainment bolsters UK presence with Betway and 32Red deals
On Air Entertainment is poised to ramp up its reach in the UK after penning landmark deals with two of the market’s leading online casino operators, Betway and 32Red.
Both companies will instantly gain access OnAir’s popular premiere blackjack offering, allowing them to deliver the player-focused game to their UK players’ devices.
Having previously partnered with Super Group-owned Betway to provide its live casino product in other markets, the latest move will see OnAir roll out its premium content to Betway’s UK-facing casino, providing a range of dedicated tables and tapping into extensive market reach.
By founding the new partnership with 32Red, an award-winning online casino operator which is part of Kindred Group, the live casino studio has set about strengthening its UK presence even further.
Coming within a few of weeks of OnAir announcing its momentous expansion into the UK regulated market, the agreements emphasise the fast-growing company’s commitment to delivering competitive, quality content to customers in key regulated markets across the globe.
Since first bringing its debut blackjack release to the table in November 2021, OnAir has enhanced the offering by taking a total of four contrasting environments live, each showcasing a distinctive style.
As the studio expands and enhances its live dealer suite with classic and unique titles over the coming months, Betway and 32Red will also have the opportunity to plug in to many more live casino experiences, including its eagerly anticipated debut roulette game due out 24 February.
Anthony Werkman, CEO of Betway, says “On Air have been a fantastic provider of live casino in our other market, so it’s great that we’re able to extend that offering to UK customers through our latest agreement with them.
“The online casino experience is important for our customers who will be able to enjoy our new premium content.”
Adam Newnham, Commercial Operations Manager at 32Red, says “We are delighted to be able to offer our players the refreshingly new live casino product from OnAir Entertainment via the Microgaming platform.
“We are extremely excited by OnAir’s new live product and we look forward to growing our portfolio of live games with them over the coming months.”

Esportes da Sorte campaign celebrates fans’ resilience in support of Brazil
“Cheer Like a Corinthian”
In a World Cup year, Corinthians’ master sponsor uses the unwavering loyalty of the club’s fanbase as an example.
Brazilians’ relationship with the national team and their passion for football take on a new perspective in a World Cup year.
Master sponsor of Corinthians, Esportes da Sorte reinforces the club supporters’ long-standing reputation for unconditional loyalty with the launch of the “Cheer Like a Corinthian” manifesto, a movement aimed at reconnecting Brazilian fans with the national team.
Created by Agência Brenda, the project seeks to redefine the term “to choke” (“amarelar” in Portuguese), transforming it into a call for unwavering belief and determination.
“The campaign draws inspiration from the symbolic strength of Corinthians fans and football’s power to emotionally unite the country.
The idea is to encourage Brazilian supporters to reconnect with the national team through values such as loyalty, presence, and unconditional support,” said Davi Oliveira, Sponsorships Head at Grupo Esportes Gaming Brasil, owner of the Esportes da Sorte brand. Watch the video here.
The campaign debuted on Sunday (10), airing on TV Globo during programs such as Em Família, Eliana, and Fantástico. Simultaneously, the video was displayed on the giant screen at Neo Química Arena during the Corinthians 3–2 São Paulo derby, valid for the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship.
To bring the concept to life, players entered the pitch wearing shirts featuring the phrase “Cheer Like a Corinthian,” which was also displayed across the stadium’s LED boards.
Fans received handheld banners in the stands, while a giant flag bearing the campaign slogan was unveiled by supporters.
Directed by Lucca Meloni and Adriano Alarcon (Nocandy), the film’s visual identity uses symbolic elements to reinforce a sense of persistence.
Rain appears in unexpected settings, while the soundtrack, based on authentic fan chants — creates an immersive sensory atmosphere.
The production also featured real supporters, including historian Fernando Wanner and iconic Corinthians fan Wanda Vitorino, adding authenticity to the message.
“This campaign was developed with great responsibility because we were entering sacred territory. Hearing from legendary players like Marcelinho Carioca that we were on the right path was extremely important,” said Raphael Pinteiro, partner at Agência Brenda.
“Our intention was to inspire Corinthians fans through pride while making supporters of other clubs agree with the message: Brazil’s supporters need this spirit and determination,” added Bernardo Barbosa, also a partner at the agency behind the campaign.
“Convoque” campaign
Also inspired by the World Cup, Esportes da Sorte launched the “Convoque” campaign on Friday (8), using the brand’s iconic blue hat as a portal to a playful universe.
The film features celebrities such as Léo Santana, Jojo Todynho, and Marcelinho Carioca, transforming the user journey into a fun and immersive experience while always promoting responsible gaming.

Flashscore tops speed rankings in UK fan survey ahead of 2026 World Cup
Flashscore has been ranked the fastest sports results platform by UK fans, according to new research into how audiences consume live sport.
In the UK survey of 2,000 sports fans, 46% identified Flashscore as the quickest platform. Flashscore said the pattern was similar in Italy, where 49% of 2,000 respondents named Flashscore the fastest, and in Brazil, where 53% of 3,300 participants reached the same conclusion.
Respondents also associated Flashscore with reliability. In Italy, Flashscore (known locally as Diretta) was recognised as being more accurate than competitors and national broadcasters’ platforms, while in the UK and Brazil it was recognised as being equal to or close to competitors and national broadcasters’ platforms.
Flashscore Director of Engineering Tomáš Kavka said: “It is not one magic technology that solves everything, it is a lot of small and larger right decisions over time.
“Serving a user in South America from Europe is technically possible, but speed is in our DNA. If we want to be the fastest on every continent, we need to be as close as possible to the user. And the data needs to reach that location the moment it appears in our database.”
The company said it continues to scale globally in its 20th year since launch, reporting more than 125 million monthly users worldwide, more than 400 million app downloads across its portfolio, and approximately 145 billion monthly impressions. Flashscore also reported over four million UK downloads, more than two billion monthly impressions, and average daily time spent close to 30 minutes. On infrastructure, Flashscore said it moved to a new data centre in Prague in 2024, tripling processing capacity, and uses a distributed cloud architecture. It added that during a major Champions League matchday earlier this season it handled 34 million users in a day, delivered 700 million notifications, and processed up to 1.3 million requests per second.
