Altenar, a sportsbook software provider, has recently partnered with Betti, who creates the Casino experience players deserve.

Melding Bettis secure payment methods, a tailor-made casino promotion tool, and player promotions with Altenars risk management systems, several data feed providers, a plethora of sports content and 24/7 customer support players of Bettis Altenar-powered sportsbook will receive a tier-one betting experience.

Altenar looks forward to the growing relationship with Betti and the new heights soon to be reached.

A spokesperson from Betti had this to say on the partnership: “We ended up with Altenar as our Sportsbook provider after months of comparison. What it came down to was the current feature offering within their product but also, most importantly, we felt Altenars ambition and future plans are in-line with where we want to see Betti Sportsbook in the future.”

Speaking with Betti, Altenar was offered great insight into the partnership, history and benefits of this new relationship, here’s what a spokesperson for Betti had to say …

Can you give us some background information/company history on Betti?

The people behind Betti.com have been in the industry since 2004-6 with backgrounds from major players like Bet365, Betsson and Comeon in roles such as Brand Manager, Head of Casino and Head of Sportsbook. We are a close group of friends that felt we are ready to take the step to run our own business, and in the summer of 2021 we started our journey towards going live. Now finally we are live and slowly finding our ways forward.

What is Betti’s core expertise, and what do they offer?

This question could be asked by a player, or by a investor =) As you know, the difference between running a profitable company and not is not always visible actions. But for players in an elevator pitch I would say –

Based on who we are (we are and love gambling) and the experience we have, our core expertise is to know what the player wants and when, together with delivering it in an innovative way. Working with platfroms such as Altenar you must be creative to stand out. Betti will always strive to stand out, in all ways, every step on the way.

What will the partnership look like once it’s live? (i.e. how will both be integrated together?)

I see our partnership as a close relationship where we at Betti will trust the work on developments and risk monitoring to have the right decisions and priorities. And at the same time as Betti grows, Altenar will evaluate any feature requests or change requests coming in from our side. Bottom line you could say, we feel safe with making sure that if we bring in the traffic, Altenar’s traders and their system will make sure we both see great ROI.

What are the key benefits of the partnership for Altenar and Betti?

Not sure I understand the question. But the way I understand it my answer would be: Betti is a startup and we will need time to become the size we aim for, which is perfectly fitting in with the Altenar offering and current position in the industry.

What are the benefits for the players?

At Betti we offer several ongoing campaigns for our sportsbetting players. All because of Altenar’s excellent product. Some of the offerings are;

Free bets, Risk Free Bets, Predictor challenge, Early Payout, Bore Draw and Bet Builder

Which core markets will this partnership focus on?

To start we are focusing on Nordics and Germany.

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.

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.
