Knup Solutions Completes Acquisition of Coded Content
Knup Solutions, a leading sports betting content agency in the United States, today announced the acquisition of Coded Content. Coded Content is a software solution that uses artificial intelligence and coding to auto-generate uniquely written content for sports websites.
The acquisition complements the rest of the Knup Solutions service offerings in the content space. Not only will they continue to have their team of 70+ sports creators writing articles & creating videos, but now with the acquisition of Coded Content, the company will be able to offer more scale & a lower price point for websites looking for AI-created content.
AI-Driven content is emerging as a hot topic in the marketing world, not only in the iGaming industry but across all areas. Being able to use data, combined with predictive sentence structures, and produce large amounts of content at scale is definitely the future.
CEO of Knup Solutions Ryan Knuppel commented, “I haven’t been this excited about the future of our company in many years. With a successful team of writers producing tons of iGaming content daily, the easy path was to ignore the fact that automated content is coming fast. We chose the more difficult path to attack it head-on.”
Coded Content was started back in 2021 by Joe Kiemen, a 31-year-old sports fanatic out of Wisconsin. He was a freelance writer that decided to take action and build a supplemental system to help him write content. That quickly emerged into what is Coded Content today, a full software solution to create automated sports content.
Currently, the software system can help build previews, picks, predictions & props across the major sports like MLB, NBA, and NFL.
Creator of Coded Content Joe Kiemen had to say, “I am excited about the opportunity to join the team at Knup Solutions. My goal is to continue to improve the way we serve our clients and consumers. I look forward to working with Ryan and everyone at Knup Solutions in this pursuit.”
The future is bright for the Coded Content division of Knup Solutions. The team will now spend a couple of months doing a number of development improvements to the software. One of the biggest changes will be the migration of how sports data is collected. Using the Knup Solutions resources, Coded Content will be even more accurate and loaded with data options for the AI articles.
Secondly, they will look to expand into other types of automated content in the sports space. More sports such as soccer, hockey, college football, college basketball, and more. Also producing auto-generated props & player articles is coming very soon.
Ryan followed up with this, “Joe and his Coded Content team have a proven software that will fit perfectly into our portfolio of services. It’s all about serving the end clients and this is just another solution they can choose from. Really excited to have our company be a big part of auto-generated sports content!”
Knup Solutions does not see this affecting the amount of “human-generated” content they produce. There are some people that simply aren’t interested in auto-generated content, and that’s ok. Having both options is simply a feather in the cap for the content creation agency giant.
If you have a website that needs a better content solution in the sports / betting industry, make sure to check out KnupSolutions.com and contact the team for more details & pricing on both human-generated, syndicated & auto-generated content solutions.

Be #GiftSmart: Scratch the Idea of Gifting Scratch & Win Tickets to Kids
BCLC reminds adults to gift responsibly this holiday season
With the holiday season in full swing, BCLC is reminding British Columbians to gift responsibly and scratch lottery products from their shopping lists for kids.
“Scratch & Win tickets can make great stocking stuffers for the adults in your life, but they’re not for kids,” said Ryan McCarthy, BCLC’s Director of Player Health. “The research shows that children who have early encounters with gambling are four times more likely to develop riskier gambling behaviour as they grow up. While people are out shopping for those last-minute gifts, BCLC wants adults to be aware of the potential risks associated with gifting lottery products to children and to consider safer alternatives.”
While Scratch & Win tickets are among the most common ways kids can be introduced to gambling, children are increasingly exposed to various online forms, such as gambling streams.
“With the convergence of gaming and gambling, youth are becoming more exposed to gambling content in online spaces like streaming sites, where creators are able to live-stream their own gambling, usually while playing online slots and instant games,” said Dr. Luke Clark, Director for Gambling Research at UBC. “Our research at the UBC Centre for Gambling shows that a higher frequency of watching online gambling streams is associated with a more positive attitude towards gambling and a high intention to gamble in the future.”
In B.C., it is illegal to sell lottery products to anyone under the age of 19 and BCLC encourages adults to have conversations with the kids in their lives about the risks associated with gambling.
“Open and honest conversations are crucial when it comes to navigating childhood exposure to gambling,” said McCarthy, who shared the following tips to adults:
- Monitor for gambling-related lifestyle changes. For example, developing a positive attitude towards gambling or a preoccupation with video games or streaming sites.
- Be a positive role model. Exhibit safer gambling behaviour and talk about the risks.
- Limit exposure. Monitor kids’ online activities and discourage engagement with gambling content. Explain how gambling is based on chance.

Play’n GO announces partnership with Canadian operator PointsBet
Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has announced further expansion of its Canadian operations via a partnership with leading operator PointsBet in the province of Ontario.
The Swedish-founded gaming giant’s games will now be available to PointsBet players in the Canadian province, meaning classic titles such as Book of Dead, Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness, and Reactoonz will now be available on the PointsBet platform.
The province of Ontario regulated online casino gaming in 2022, which saw Play’n GO enter the Canadian market for the first time. The company expanded into the province of Quebec earlier this year, and, as of June 2024, is also a proud member of the Canadian Gaming Association.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Play’n GO, commented, “Back in 2022, I said that “North America is right at the top of Play’n GO’s priority list, and Ontario is just the first step we plan to take”. This partnership with PointsBet shows we have yet to take our foot off the gas. We’ve proudly watched our games become instant hits in our two and a half years in the Ontarian region, and we have no plans to slow down any time soon.
“It’s exciting to team up with a fellow Canadian Gaming Association member in PointsBet, and we can confidently say that we are working towards the same goal of a safe, regulated industry that is focused on player entertainment. We’re looking forward to working closely together following this milestone announcement.”
Scott Vanderwel, Chief Executive Officer at PointsBet, shared “Play’n GO has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality game content, and we’re thrilled to bring their titles to our platform. At PointsBet, our focus is on providing a safe and engaging entertainment experience for our players, and it’s clear that Play’n GO aligns with those values. Canadian casino enthusiasts recognize PointsBet as a trusted leader in iGaming, and this collaboration further enhances the exceptional experience we offer.”
