Kindred Group extend six-year Middlesbrough FC partnership and cements long-term community commitment to supporters
The Kindred Group will remain as Middlesbrough Principal front-of-shirt partner for another two years in a move that will significantly strengthen the club’s outreach work in the local community.
Kindred have partnered with Middlesbrough since 2018 – meaning the partnership will be nearly a decade old by the end of the latest deal, making it one of the most successful and long-running in British football.
Significantly, the partnership will continue to fund Middlesbrough FC Foundation’s (MFCF) delivery of Team Talk – a men’s mental health initiative. The Team Talk platform uses the local club and its players, manager and staff as a mechanism to engage with men about their mental well-being.
The logo of gambling operator Unibet adorns first team shirts in what is another record-breaking partnership for the club. “Zero% Mission”, which is Kindred’s Responsible Gambling message, appears on this season’s shirts.
Kindred have also pledged to donate a percentage of their hospitality and merchandising rights to supporters via competitions and giveaways.
Further, Kindred will donate front-of-shirt sponsorship space to MFC through the season – allowing for the promotion of the club’s charitable initiatives.
MFC Foundation works to raise aspirations and improve the life chances of young people and adults across Teesside. Its work is supported and funded, in part, by the club’s commercial partners, including Kindred Group.
Kindred has always played a central role in the club’s ‘Foundation Weekend’. This forms part of an initiative to highlight the Foundation’s life-changing work for participants of all ages in the local community, as well as how people in the area can access its projects and services.
Sam Mead, UK General Manager, Kindred Group, said: “Kindred’s relationship with Middlesbrough is one of football’s longest running and impactful, so far as community outreach is concerned. That is why we were committed to extending the partnership for another two years.
“We recognise that we are in the privileged position to positively influence clubs and their communities – a responsibility we take seriously. That’s why the basis of this latest partnership will be to help showcase the MFC Foundation’s wide-ranging work, including the men’s mental health initiative Team Talk.”
Liam McGuinness, Head of Commercial, Middlesbrough FC, said: “Everyone at the club is absolutely delighted to extend our partnership with the Kindred Group for another two years. Most importantly, we’d like to thank them for continuing their vital support of the club’s Foundation – especially through the Team Talk mental health initiative.
“The health and wellbeing of our local community is very important to ourselves and Kindred. We are all looking forward to the opportunity to continue driving forward new initiatives that will benefit both our supporters and the people of Teesside”.

Genius Sports and Pac-12 Launch Comprehensive AI, Tech and Integrity Partnership to Fuel Regulated Betting, Moment-Based Ad Products and Analytics
Genius Sports has unveiled a new multi-year partnership focused on integrity, technology, and AI with the Pac-12 Conference (“Pac-12”) to enhance the future of legitimate and responsible sports wagering, integrity, fan interaction and revenue generation, as well as performance evaluation in collegiate athletics.
The collaboration strengthens Genius Sports’ position as the backbone of contemporary sports. Under the terms of the agreement, Genius Sports will implement GeniusIQ, its data and AI platform, at all venues for Pac-12 football and men’s and women’s basketball events – establishing a unified, smart framework for data tracking, video capture, real-time analysis, and commercial engagement.
Genius Sports and Pac-12 will work together on various innovations aimed at protecting integrity, enhancing the fan experience, and creating new revenue opportunities.
Permitted wagering and integrity protections
Genius Sports will act as the sole distributor of official data from Pac-12 events to authorized sportsbooks globally. In this position, the firm will implement a new Authorized Gaming Operator (“AGO”) initiative aimed at ensuring the integrity of Pac-12 events and safeguarding student-athletes.
Alongside removing negative and high-risk bet types, the AGO program will enhance transparency, information exchange, and collaboration among the Pac-12, Genius Sports, and authorized sportsbooks, while stopping prohibited bettors from making bets; all aimed at addressing the risk of corruption linked to betting and safeguarding student-athletes.
A fresh age of marketing focused on moments
Genius Sports’ Moment Engine allows brands to launch advertising in real-time during critical moments in Pac-12 games across broadcast, streaming, and digital platforms, turning live sports data into actionable advertising chances.
For Pac-12 advertisers, this opens up the chance to engage with significant Pac-12 moments that are crucial, immediately, with enhanced accuracy and on a larger scale.
Enhanced performance insights
The collaboration will also aid Pac-12 schools by providing the most cutting-edge performance analysis available worldwide.
Programs will utilize the GeniusIQ-enabled Performance Studio platform, offering coaches and athletes advanced analytics and video tools employed by most NBA and WNBA teams.
“College sports are entering a new era where official data and real-time intelligence power everything from integrity and betting and media to performance,” said Mark Locke, CEO at Genius Sports. “By deploying GeniusIQ across Pac-12 venues, we are building the data infrastructure that connects leagues, sportsbooks, broadcasters and advertisers in real-time.”
“The Pac-12 is thrilled to announce this partnership which will allow a college sports conference, for the first time, to impose direct and meaningful integrity restrictions on sports books who receive and use Pac-12 data,” said Pac-12 Commissioner Teresa Gould. “This partnership positions the Pac-12 as an early-mover in the data rights space, connecting to our strategic vision and challenger mindset to push boundaries in a disciplined fashion while introducing new opportunities for brand elevation and revenue growth.”

How Established Operators Can Address Online Casino Vulnerabilities: Atlaslive’s Recommendations
This article concludes Atlaslive’s series exploring online casino vulnerabilities and the ways established operators can address them early.
Throughout the series, several key exposure areas were examined, including cybersecurity threats, KPI warning signals, financial leakage risks, infrastructure and platform limitations, as well as compliance and regulatory pressure. Each of these factors can directly influence revenue stability, player trust, and long-term operational scalability.
In this final installment, Atlaslive specialists present a set of mitigation principles designed to help operators reduce operational exposure and maintain stability as their businesses expand.
A Structured Approach to Reducing Operational Exposure
Since 2019, Atlaslive has worked with operators across multiple markets and at different stages of growth, including companies transitioning from legacy platforms in search of greater stability and operational control.
Based on this experience, one consistent observation emerges: vulnerabilities rarely result from a single failure. More often, they develop through disconnected operational processes, delayed system visibility, or infrastructure that was not designed to support increasing complexity.
To address these risks, Atlaslive specialists recommend a structured operational approach.
Monitor KPIs in Real Time
Early anomaly detection plays a key role in identifying potential vulnerabilities before they escalate.
Continuous monitoring of indicators such as Registration-to-Deposit Conversion (Reg2Dep), payment success rates, chargebacks, retention metrics, and player lifetime value allows operators to detect performance distortions at an early stage. Acting on these signals quickly helps prevent small operational issues from turning into structural revenue losses.
Integrate Risk, Payments, and CRM Systems
When systems operate separately, operational blind spots often appear, making fraud detection and oversight more difficult.
A unified architecture that connects risk management, payment processing, and CRM systems improves visibility across both player behavior and financial flows. This integration enables faster responses to fraud attempts, bonus abuse, and unusual player activity.
Strengthen Security Governance
Security governance remains a core component of operational resilience.
Multi-factor authentication, encrypted infrastructure, and standardized security frameworks help minimize both technical and regulatory risks. Consistent security practices also support compliance requirements in regulated markets.
Automate Compliance Workflows
As regulatory requirements continue to grow in complexity, manual processes increase the risk of operational errors.
Automated KYC triggers, transaction monitoring systems, and reporting workflows allow operators to maintain consistent compliance standards while reducing operational friction and cross-market inconsistencies.
Maintain Continuous Operational Support
Operators expanding into multiple jurisdictions face increasing operational pressure.
Continuous technical monitoring combined with localized support enables faster incident response and helps maintain platform stability during peak traffic periods, market expansion, or high activity.
“Vulnerability management is not a reactive exercise. It is an ongoing operational discipline that protects revenue, player trust, and regulatory standing.”
—Tetiana Honchar, Platform Product Manager at Atlaslive
Building Long-Term Operational Resilience
Online casino vulnerabilities rarely appear suddenly. They tend to develop gradually through small operational gaps, unnoticed KPI changes, or infrastructure that struggles to handle scale.
For established operators, proactive monitoring and structured governance are essential. Security, performance, compliance, and scalability must function together as part of an integrated operational system.
Operators that treat vulnerability management as a continuous operational discipline are better positioned to protect revenue integrity, maintain regulatory standing, and scale their businesses with greater stability.
