PA Media Group today announces the appointment of Josh Sparke from 1 March 2025, as Managing Director of Podium, its sports and betting data business.
Podium is a trusted market leader in providing sports data, content, and technology.

The business delivers global coverage through a unified distribution network, serving sportsbooks, rightsholders, affiliates, media, and technology platforms.
Gareth Bramall, Chief Strategy Officer at PA Media Group, commented: “Following a rigorous selection process with exceptional candidates, Josh stood out. He brings extensive industry experience, passion for sport and has a clear vision of growth for Podium”.
Sparke has a wealth of knowledge of the industry having worked with leading brands such as Betmakers and Livescore. His strong relationships with sports and racing rightsholders as well as an entrepreneurial mindset will enhance Podium’s position in the market. Sparke takes over from Eugene Delaney, who will remain as an advisor to the business.
Sparke said ‘PA Media Group has a proud and reputable history and has been at the heart of racing for over 40 years. I’m fortunate to be inheriting a strong team from Eugene and I’m joining Podium at an exciting time, following its acquisition of iRace and significant investments in product and technology. We have a strong foundation for innovation, partnerships, and sustainable growth in the UK and internationally. I look forward to making Podium a global leader in racing and sports betting content”

Partnership cements Swedish gaming giant as a world leader in entertainment
Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has today announced a unique partnership with world-renowned music label Spinnin’ Records.
The partnership will see the legendary games studio produce two bespoke games on behalf of the label, the first of which, Into the Beat, will release in March of this year, and is yet another landmark in Play’n GO’s expansion into the world of entertainment.
Play’n GO Music launched in 2023, and in the intervening months has become a globally recognised brand, collaborating with artists from around the world. Play’n GO Music also earned acclaim for its collaboration with MoneyGram Haas F1 Team in 2024, which saw the division produce playlists in conjunction with Ayao Komatsu, Nico Hulkenberg, and Kevin Magnussen, as well as producing a track for the motorsport team with Canadian EDM artist Humansion.
This collaboration with Spinnin’ Records further cements Play’n GO’s position at the forefront of music-themed entertainment, delivering innovative experiences that blend the worlds of gaming and music as never before.
Ebba Arnred, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer at Play’n GO, commented “We’re very excited to team up with the world’s leading dance label and community, Spinnin’ Records. Both of our businesses share a commitment to the highest quality entertainment, and this partnership is a perfect fit for our business. We are constantly looking for ways to innovate and to deliver unique experiences, and we’re confident that this industry-first partnership will push the boundaries of what is possible in iGaming. We’re looking forward to the release of both games in collaboration with Spinnin’ Records, and to delivering best-in-class entertainment together.”
