Veikkaus continues its long-term partnership with Finnish ice hockey. The Finnish Ice Hockey Association and Veikkaus have agreed on a comprehensive partnership that will continue until 2030.

“Ice hockey is a major Finnish spectator sport that strongly resonates with and moves people. At Veikkaus, we have a long-standing and successful cooperation with Finnish ice hockey and Leijonat, of which we are proud. It’s very important to us that this long and successful journey continues for many years to come”, rejoices Reija Laaksonen, Veikkaus’ EVP, People, Culture and Communications.

Ice hockey is an important sport for Veikkaus from the perspectives of betting offerings and the company’s brand. The Finnish national Lions teams are a source of pride for Finns, and Leijonat matches are top offerings in Veikkaus’ betting.

“Thanks to the cooperation, we can continue to offer Veikkaus’ customers the interesting domestic betting products, services and content they desire, and develop them even better”, Laaksonen says.

“Our comprehensive partnership with Finnish ice hockey allows Veikkaus’ channels to continue to be strongly involved in the most interesting moments and series of Finnish ice hockey.”

The multi-year partnership between Veikkaus and Finnish ice hockey covers the Finnish men’s national team, the Women’s national team, the U20 national team, and the Aurora League.

“We are very pleased that Veikkaus remains one of our main partners in the Leijonat family. We share Veikkaus’ values, and we believe that in the future’s changing business environment, Sustainability will play an even greater role”, says Lassi Rönkkönen , Sales and Marketing Director of the Ice Hockey Association.

“Together with Veikkaus, we have lived and experienced the success moments of different Leijonat teams and built impactful marketing campaigns. It is great to continue the cooperation far into the future.”

BVGroup’s flagship brand BetVictor has launched a new brand campaign, “For All Your Favourite Things”, backed by what the company said is its largest AV investment to date.

BetVictor is timing the launch around this weekend’s Premier League schedule, with spots running alongside Arsenal vs Newcastle on Saturday evening and Chelsea vs Leeds on Sunday afternoon.

Media planning is led by Bountiful Cow. The plan includes a new partnership with Sky, spanning live sport integrations, on-demand, YouTube channels and targeted digital placements via Sky Advance. BetVictor also outlined a data-led SVOD and BVOD strategy across ITVX, Channel 4, Prime Video and Netflix, plus digital and social.

Richard Walters, Director of Brand and Creative at BetVictor, said:

“‘For All Your Favourite Things’ captures what BetVictor stands for today – a premium, straightforward experience that enhances the thrill of sport.

When done right, we believe that gambling is a simple pleasure; one that we love connecting our customers to. We wanted to celebrate the moments that matter most to sports fans.”

QTech Games has won the Leader in Online Casino award at the Annual Sports Betting East Africa (SBEA+) 2026 Summit in Nairobi, Kenya.

The company said it beat other shortlisted suppliers including SA Gaming, BetConstruct, and DST Gaming. The award is described by the event as recognising the “top all-round online casino platform for innovation, user engagement, and sustained growth” over the past year.

The SBEA+ Eventus Awards focus on the East African igaming and sports betting sector and were presented at a gala ceremony at the Argyle Grand Hotel. QTech Games said the judging period covered 2025/26 and that its aggregation platform performance was ranked highest by the panel.

QTech Games CEO Philip Doftvik said: “We’re thrilled to have walked off with another notable award for the best overall online-casino-platform provision in East Africa. Being shortlisted in such good company was already a result, but victory provides the real validation, particularly after running a great campaign at recent Eventus events in Africa. We’ve been promoting QTech Hybrid, our breakthrough retail solution, to great effect and it’s been fantastic to see that going live with a handful of top-tier clients on this continent has led to such overwhelmingly positive feedback and immediate success cases in the realm of genuine innovation.

“This win is testimony to our diligent team at QTech Games, and to the constantly growing group of innovative suppliers that our platform represents. It’s a truly collaborative effort. We remain committed to rolling out high-quality content that drives revenue for our worldwide partners across Africa and beyond. After all, in today’s marketplace, only premium games of the highest standard will separate you from the crowd, so we were delighted to see the panel acknowledge how our premier platform is delivering across Africa’s eclectic ecosystem. We’ve made our name as the pre-eminent aggregator in these evolving margin markets, delivering localised games that speak to a host of player proclivities. This award win will spur us on to new horizons.”
