PA Betting Services has teamed up with DAZNBET to provide fast, reliable pre-race and race-day data
PA Betting Services has teamed up with DAZNBET to provide fast, reliable pre-race and race-day data, including fixed odds for horse racing and greyhounds through its market-leading racing distribution platform – in a new multi-year agreement.
The launch of DAZNBET’s own sportsbook in August with a packed multi-sport schedule that includes football & tennis. Joining the biggest names in the industry, the move into racing recognises the importance of both racing and greyhounds for bettors in the competitive UK & Irish markets.
Under the new agreement, DAZNBET will unlock access to PA Betting Services’ multi-jurisdictional racing distribution platform, delivering more than 50,000 meetings per year and spanning a schedule from the US & Latin America, UKI & France through to South Africa & Australia.
DAZNBET’s UK launch demonstrates a renewed confidence for new entrants into the UK & Irish market and identifies PA Betting Services as an excellent partner to help navigate the complexities often associated with launching a regulated racing and greyhounds product.
Managing Director UK for DAZNBET, Shane McLaughlin said “PA Betting Services’ consistent pre-race, race-day, and fixed odds racing coverage of over 50,000 events per year, paired with their close relationships to racing’s global rights owners made them a great choice for a partner – in a new multi-year agreement. “
Head of Business Development & Strategic Partnerships, Richard Duncan said, “We’re thrilled to add another flagship brand and household name to the long list of clients who trust PA Betting Services to power their 24/7 racing and greyhound service. As the Global Home of Sports, the DAZN entertainment ecosystem is first-rate. Having recently added betting to its platform with the launch of DAZNBET, the brand quickly understood the importance of working with the right supplier to add racing to its line-up.”

BGaming donates to Brazilian art institute in support of creative children’s projects
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming has bolstered its ongoing commitment to grassroots arts by making donations to the A7MA Galeria Institute in Sao Paulo, Brazil, which supports children’s creative development.
As part of its ‘When Art Meets Gaming’ project, BGaming has collaborated with several local artists to create murals for industry events over the last year. For SiGMA Americas in April, the studio also chose to give back to the host city by funding art projects for children.
BGaming made a donation to support three charity initiatives. A portion was donated to coordinate a visit to the A7MA Gallery, where children from the Felicidarte Project took a tour of popular tourist attraction ‘Batman’s Alley’ and learnt about the art. Later, A7MA funded an activity where children were invited to transform the facades of their homes into colourful murals.
Another part of the donation was allocated to renovations for Felicidarte Project’s warehouse space, to revamp the area so it can invite school groups each week and distribute food to the underprivileged areas.
The significant charitable push follows a successful SiGMA Americas in Sao Paulo from 23rd to 26th April, where BGaming collaborated with artistic duo, Clandestinos Art, to reinterpret BGaming’s iconic game heroes, and create a limited edition merchandise collection, branded gifts and their stand design.
Marina Ostrovtsova, CEO at BGaming, said: “At BGaming, it brings us so much joy to see our donations promoting art among the young people of Sao Paulo.
“As we have proven over the past year with our ‘Art Meets Gaming’ project, creativity unites us all and we were delighted to hear how much the children enjoyed the activities provided. We can’t wait to hear about these budding artist’s creations in the future.”
Marcos Ramos Enivo, Artist and Counsellor at A7MA Galeria Institute, said: “We are grateful to BGaming for their support of our work at A7MA. The activities exceeded our expectations, with 47 artists present and 46 facades revitalised by the children.
“It was an absolute success. People in the favelas who are sometimes invisible to the government can now feel seen, recognised and valued.”

Golden Whale forms strategic sales partnership with SCCG management
Golden Whale Productions, the pioneering data science company that specialises in AI and machine learning-powered solutions for the iGaming industry, has announced that it has formed a new strategic partnership with advisory firm, SCCG Management.
While the industry expertise brought by the firm will undoubtedly bring myriad benefits to Golden Whale’s operations, the major goal of the collaboration will be to promote awareness of the company’s products and services across the Americas and beyond over the coming months.
Founded by Stephen A. Crystal – a seasoned veteran in the global gaming industry with over 30 years of experience under his belt – SCCG Management has an established track record of delivering expert solutions for strategic success in areas such as iGaming and casino technology.
With a global network of clients and offices in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America and Latin America, SCCG is well-known for connecting companies with the right strategic partners for global-scale growth, which is exactly what Golden Whale is looking for as it enters its next phase.
Having already made a major impression across Europe – where its innovative data-driven solutions and pioneering products for the Gaming industry such as Foundation – scalable optimization modules for high-leverage decision making or the iterative machine learning system, LOOPs, have already been short-listed for a number of industry awards – Golden Whale its understandably keen to expand its outreach and the new partnership will give it the foothold to do precisely that.
As such, both parties are looking forward to the collaboration and the business opportunities SCCG will create for Golden Whale in the near future, with the former’s industry know-how and far-reaching network combining with the latter’s trailblazing technology to hopefully great effect.
Eberhard Dürrschmid, Chief Executive Officer at Golden Whale, said: “While Golden Whale has enjoyed an incredible year of growth during which the company quadrupled its revenue without the help of an external investor, our partnership with SCCG is definitely the next big step.
“By teaming up with an industry expert like Stephen, we’ll be able to broaden our horizons, expand our reach and really start pushing our game-changing products across the Americas and beyond. We’re really looking forward to collaboration and are hugely optimistic about the business opportunities it’ll bring as Golden Whale enters the next exciting stage of its evolution.”
Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “Golden Whale Productions brings a wealth of expertise and a proven track record in data science to the gaming industry. By combining their state-of-the-art technology with our global reach and extensive industry relationships, we are well-positioned to deliver unparalleled value to gaming operators worldwide. This partnership will empower companies to maximize their data potential and achieve new levels of success.”
