Golden Whale and Flows extend game-changing partnership
Leading data-driven service provider renews deal with award-winning automation and integration platform to take the art of engagement and user value optimisation to all-new heights
Golden Whale, a leader in AI-driven insights, has extended its partnership with Flows, the no-code automation platform transforming iGaming operations.
Since teaming up in 2023, Golden Whale’s AI insights and Flows’ automation technology have helped operators engage players more effectively in real time. By making data instantly actionable, operators can improve retention and personalise player experiences at scale.
With a new deal now in place, Golden Whale and Flows will continue to leverage this successful dynamic by combining their resources to provide operators with a range of cutting-edge features that will help them work more efficiently while also enhancing the way they interact with players.
The key to this collaboration is how Golden Whale’s AI continuously learns from player data, while Flows instantly triggers the best next action—whether it’s a reward, incentive, or personalised offer. This real-time system ensures every player gets a tailored experience that keeps them engaged.
Among others, here are some examples of what operators can expect from this collaboration
- Very Early pLTV Prediction: Highly accurate Player Lifetime Value (pLTV) prediction for both upstream (User Acquisition) and downstream (retention, rewards) strategies, ensuring optimal customer generosity and segmentation.
- AI-powered tools that continuously learn and improve: AI-driven retention optimisation that dynamically enhances specific campaign types, delivering automated real-time actions for the user.
- In-Session Churn Prevention: Real-time churn detection and intervention, allowing proactive engagement while the customer is still on-site.
- Fully Automated Event Trigger: Advanced retention optimization leveraging multiple AI models to recommend the Next Best Action, Incentive, or Offer at an individual customer level.
- Real-Time AI-Driven Recommendations: Continuous optimisation of personalised game suggestions based on individual player behaviour.
With these powerful features, Golden Whale’s extended partnership with Flows brings exciting opportunities for all operators within the iGaming space.
Eberhard Dürrschmid, Chief Executive Officer at Golden Whale, said: “Having already witnessed some hugely impressive results over the past two years working together, we’re delighted to announce the extension of our partnership with Flows. By combining our advanced engagement optimization with Flows’ automation technology, we’ll continue to empower operators to have meaningful interactions with customers that boost engagement and maximise retention.”
Dan de Souza, Vice-President of Commercial at Flows, “From the moment Flows first started working with Golden Whale, we knew we could create something that would truly impact the iGaming industry. Over the past two years, that belief has been proven through real success stories with our partners. Now, we’re excited to build on this foundation and drive even greater innovation, helping operators shift from reactive to proactive strategies by seamlessly leveraging AI-driven insights and automation for smarter, more efficient player engagement.”

Across EWC, ENC and NGSC, he will help ensure that the players who built this sport have a voice in shaping where it goes next.”
Faker said: “Competition has shaped my life, and I am proud to join the Esports Foundation as Game Ambassador. I want to continue competing for the biggest titles with T1 while representing the players and fans who have helped esports grow worldwide. Through the Esports World Cup, Esports Nations Cup and the Foundation’s wider platforms, I hope to inspire the next generation to pursue excellence, remain resilient and believe in how far competitive gaming can take them. There is still much more to achieve.”
EF highlighted Faker’s competitive record, describing him as a six-time League of Legends World Champion, EWC 2024 winner, two-time MSI champion and ten-time domestic champion with T1. The Foundation also said Faker became the first esports athlete to receive the Blue Dragon Medal in 2026, describing it as the Republic of Korea’s highest sporting honor awarded by President Lee Jae-myung.

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.
