Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

A panel of renowned industry experts has been announced for the world’s most prestigious literary sports-writing competition: The William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award.

Following their previous involvement in last year’s award, The Athletic’s Nancy Froston and Greatest Hits Radio sports presenter Matt Williams are set to rejoin Neil Foggin from William Hill, to collectively review and evaluate all the entries submitted for the 2023 sports book competition, much to the delight of the event organisers.

Each of the reading panellists is an expert in their respective field, bringing a wealth of sports knowledge and literature experience, and will be instrumental in selecting the longlist, which will be announced in September.

Last year saw a record breaking 158 books entered by athletes and authors alike including Patrice Evra, Anyika Onuora, and last year’s winner Jeremy Wilson.

Now entering its 35th year, organisers are encouraging authors, journalists, athletes and publishers to enter their sports books into the Awards, which offers a grand prize of £30,000 for the overall winner, which will be announced on 30th November 2023 at an official awards ceremony held at BAFTA, 195 Piccadilly, London. As well as the winning prize, each shortlisted author will receive a generous £3,000 in cash, and a specially produced leather-bound copy of their book.

Book review panellist and highly credited broadcaster Matt Williams shared: “It is an honour to be returning as part of this year’s Reading Panel for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award, alongside Nancy and Neil, two highly respected individuals within the sports industry.

“The William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award is the longest running competition in the industry and sets out to recognise and reward the creative talents of authors in the sporting literature world. For over three decades, the Award has provided hundreds of talented authors the platform to have their name seen and their work read, and every author gains recognition by simply putting their name forward.

“We’re all about ensuring a fair and impartial competition. It’s not about how high the author’s rank outside of the competition – it’s the content and writing talent that we’re interested in.

“We’re keen to encourage entries which cover a wide range of sports. The diversity of sporting subjects that have been covered over the last 35 years has been vast, which is testament to the variety of topics covered by our past winners, proving they are all as important as each other.

“I’m incredibly excited to start reading this year’s submissions from sports book enthusiasts and writers in the sports book genre. Once again, we’re encouraging all authors, agents, and publishers to enter their titles as early as possible as all the books are read by humans, not algorithms and therefore we urge writers to submit their book before the rush begins in the summer.”

The Reading Panel will select the longlist in September, with the shortlist being announced in late October, and the overall winner revealed at an official awards ceremony on 30th November 2023.

PlayamoPartners brings Formula 1 Precision to iGB Affiliate Barcelona 2026 — Visit Booth 81-M10.

Barcelona, January 20–21, 2026 — At iGB Affiliate Barcelona, PlayamoPartners invites industry leaders to experience an affiliate program built on discipline, precision, and stability — a philosophy closer to Formula 1 than to show business. Because speed without a system is a risk, and long‑distance victories are won by control and consistency.

Meet the Program That Runs on Timing, Control, and Accountability

This year at Fira Barcelona Gran Via, PlayamoPartners will be at Booth 81-M10 with a program engineered for performance under pressure. The PlayamoPartners × TAG Heuer × Formula 1 alignment is not a “collaboration” — it’s a statement of approach: master the clock, execute with accuracy, own the result.

What to Expect at Booth 81-M10

Beyond offers and conversations, the stand is a live demonstration of service as a ritual — where premium is the standard of execution, not a marketing trick.

  • Butler-Led Service: Guests are welcomed by a real butler and guided through a streamlined experience designed for clarity and confidence at every touchpoint.
  • Code of Honor: An invitation-only club where recognition is earned by level. Become part of the Code by inscribing your partnership values in the Book of Honor at the stand — your commitment becomes your entry to win MacBook Air, iPhone 17 Air, and AirPods Max headphones. VIP partners reinforce their status with TAG Heuer timepieces.
  • House of PlayamoPartners: The space extends this logic with a photo mirror that captures the moment of entry — not for noise, but as a mark of belonging to a system where premium is the baseline, not a marketing trick.
  • Gifts as House Rules: In our House, gifts are customary. Snap your photo at the PlayamoPartners photo mirror and follow the posted instructions to enter a 3,000 USDT raffle — their way of welcoming you.

Engineered for Partners Who Choose Reliability Over Hype

At the booth, you’ll find:

  • Data-driven planning with transparent pacing and measurable milestones
  • Custom deal structures built for sustained, compounding ROI
  • Direct manager access for integrations, optimizations, and partner onboarding
  • A framework that values long-run consistency over short-term spikes

One-to-One Conversations That Move the Needle

Sit down with the team to align on:

  • Conversion architecture and funnel precision
  • GEO prioritization (Tier 1 mostly) and partner-specific vertical focus
  • Real-time reporting cadence, compliance, and long-term workload planning
  • Growth pathways inside the Code of Honor framework

How to Participate in Rewards and Raffles

  • Book of Honor: Inscribe your partnership values to enter for MacBook Air, iPhone 17 Air, and AirPods Max headphones.
  • Photo Mirror Raffle: Take a mirror selfie at House of PlayamoPartners and follow the on-stand posting/sharing steps to enter the 3,000 USDT draw.
  • Notes: Winners will be selected on the 21st of January at 13:00 at Booth 81-M10; participation is subject to on-site rules and eligibility requirements.

Choose the System. Choose the Standard.

If your benchmark is discipline over noise, your place is on our grid.

BC.GAME launches Zero Edge: BC Originals titles return 100% of HE in tradable BC tokens

Published

on

bc.game-launches-zero-edge:-bc-originals-titles-return-100%-of-he-in-tradable-bc-tokens

BC.GAME has launched Zero Edge, an initiative that returns 100% of the House Edge (HE) on BC Originals titles via Tacoback, paid out in BC tokens.

No complicated bonuses: turn HE into a visible return

BC.GAME says Zero Edge is designed to feel straightforward in real play. Rather than pushing players through layered tasks and bonus mechanics, the programme calculates Tacoback from a game’s actual HE and settles it in-token, so the return is easier to understand and track.

Designed for most players

According to the activity details, Zero Edge is available to BC main-site users from VIP 5, and runs on a UTC day cycle.

The initiative uses a daily-cap model. Users with 7-day turnover starting from 0 can participate, and each player has a daily eligible wagering cap. The next-day cap is updated based on the player’s current VIP level and their wagering over the previous seven days. The applicable cap and programme details (including the eligible BC Originals scope) can be viewed on the official activity page.

BC.GAME also states it has allocated a total of 1 billion tokens for distribution under the programme.

To illustrate how the calculation works, BC.GAME provides an example method: Tacoback is approximately Wager x HE / BC token spot price (final settlement is based on the system). For instance, assuming a wager is 2,000 USDT, the HE at that moment is 2%, and the BC token price is 0.007, the illustrative result would be 2,000 x 2% / 0.007 is approximately 5,714.29 BC. This is only to demonstrate the calculation method; HE and token price vary by game and market conditions and should be taken from real-time data.

BC.GAME notes that wagering counted inside a player’s Zero Edge daily cap does not stack with other promotions/benefits or affiliate commission calculations. Once the daily cap is reached, further wagering reverts to the platform’s standard system for the rest of the UTC day.

BC token trading: in-platform and on-chain venues

BC.GAME says BC tokens can be traded within the platform. As an on-chain asset on Solana, BC can also be viewed and traded via public pages such as OKX Web3 and GMGN.

What’s next

Alongside Zero Edge, BC.GAME has also teased follow-on launches including “Bet Anything” synthetic markets, lower-barrier prediction-style products, and a “Trustless Trust” decentralized architecture.

About BC.GAME
