Midnite has signed a sponsorship deal with football podcast The Good, The Bad & The Football, running branded integrations across episodes during the World Cup.

The show features former Manchester United and England midfielders Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt, alongside presenter and comedian Paddy McGuinness. Midnite said its branding will appear throughout World Cup episodes.

The Good, The Bad & The Football launched in September 2025 and has more than 169,000 subscribers on YouTube, alongside distribution on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other platforms, according to the company.

The agreement is Midnite’s second podcast partnership, following its sponsorship of Fight Your Corner, a boxing debate show hosted by former world champion Tony Bellew and content creator Charlie Parsons. Midnite also pointed to recent above-the-line marketing activity, including being revealed this month as front-of-shirt sponsors of Wolverhampton Wanderers and launching its first out-of-home “Built Different” advertising campaign in April.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said: “This partnership is another step in our mission to build a sports betting brand that’s genuinely Built Different.

“We’re investing in partnerships that football fans actually care about, launching standout campaigns or working with creators and personalities who have real credibility with supporters.

“As Midnite continues to grow, we’re focused on showing up in the places where fans spend their time and engage with the sport they love. The World Cup is set to be one of the biggest sporting moments of the year and we’re excited to be part of the conversation alongside one of football’s most popular shows.”

Veikkaus will deploy the latest version of OpenBet’s Neccton AI-enhanced responsible gambling platform across its digital and retail channels, the companies said on 16 June 2026. The rollout comes as Finland’s newly approved Gambling Act increases operator obligations to spot and address risky gambling behaviour early, including active intervention where risk indicators emerge.

OpenBet said the Neccton platform is designed to identify potentially risky gambling behaviour in real time, generate automated alerts, and support tailored player interventions. The system summarises behavioural data, risk markers and historical context in plain language, and provides AI-assisted explanations intended to support compliance teams while maintaining human oversight.

Susanna Saikkonen, Vice President for Sustainability at Veikkaus, said: “Veikkaus’ individual gambling safety net model is based on identifying risky gambling as early as possible and offering players both support and concrete limitations. The Neccton platform provides us with an ISO-certified, extensively security tested and scientifically validated tool that strengthens our ability to identify risk and support our customers in gambling responsibly.”

Dr Michael Auer, Managing Director of Neccton at OpenBet, said: “In today’s regulatory environment, operators must demonstrate how they actively prevent gambling-related harm. The latest version of the Neccton platform enables real-time, data-driven intervention and measurable duty of care. We are proud to expand our partnership with Veikkaus to further strengthen its responsible gambling framework.”

The Neccton deployment extends Veikkaus’ existing relationship with OpenBet. OpenBet has been powering Veikkaus’ next-generation sportsbook platform and providing Managed Trading Services across digital and retail channels since May 2025, according to the companies. Veikkaus is preparing for Finland’s expected market liberalisation in 2027.
