INCENTIVE GAMES AND BET365 TEAM UP TO LAUNCH TWO NEW GAMES AHEAD OF SUMMER OF FOOTBALL
In a collaboration with globally renowned online gambling operator bet365, leading B2B games provider and acquisition and retention specialists, Incentive Games, have announced the release of two new games for both international football tournaments taking place this summer.
The ‘Euro Finals Group Stage Predictor’ and ‘Copa Finals Group Stage Predictor’ are the latest in a long line of free-to-play products offered by bet365, crafted by the expert team at Incentive Games.
Launching just in time for the start of both iconic tournaments, this innovative partnership taps into Incentive Labs’ expertise in creating bespoke player experiences. The game offers an exciting way for fans to engage with the action and potentially win a share of a massive prize pool.
Group Stage Predictor puts you in the manager’s seat. Players can predict the outcome (win, lose, draw) of every group match in both the Euro and Copa finals. Users can also edit their predictions any time for matches that haven’t yet kicked off.
Each correct pick will earn players points, with a gradually increasing point value as the tournament progresses (10 points for Match Day 1, 20 points for Match Day 2, and 30 points for Match Day 3). The more games users get right, the higher they climb on the leader board. Each game offers an incredible jackpot of £1 million for the ultimate football savant who correctly predicts the outcome of every game.
Victoria Harnett, Product Lead at Incentive Games said, “We’re so proud to once again join forces with bet365 to deliver bespoke and truly industry-leading gaming experiences to their users. This partnership is a testament to the power of collaboration and our shared vision of redefining free-to-play experiences, making them more engaging and, ultimately, more rewarding.”
The collaboration between Incentive Games and bet365 marks a significant step forward in the personalisation of free-to-play experiences within the iGaming industry, leveraging AI to create a more engaging and rewarding experience for players.
A bet365 spokesperson said: “With excitement growing for this summer’s European Championships and Copa America, we’re delighted to launch the ‘Group Stage Predictor’ game for each, in collaboration with Incentive Games. The latest in our portfolio of engaging free-to-play games, we’re confident that football fans will enjoy testing their prediction skills against fellow fans.”

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.
“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

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.

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.
ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.
