Founded by two betting industry stalwarts, ParUp Golf brings an eclectic range of exciting features to transform the amateur golf experience, with social betting set to launch in the next phase

The Unit, a leader in product design and development for sports betting and iGaming, is helping shake up the amateur golfing world by delivering the game-changing ParUp Golf app, after being chosen as ParUp Golf’s app development partner.

The launch is set to disrupt and streamline the logistical demands of organising and participating in recreational golf; the app will also introduce social betting features, gamifying the group golf UX, in future iterations of its rollout.

Free to download on the App Store and Google Play, ParUp Golf is designed to help small groups of friends or larger golfing societies manage and elevate their golf-day experience. By creating a digital clubhouse for scheduling and monitoring their rounds of golf, this agile control centre is now fostering more excitement and deeper engagement both before and during the round.

Users can log into the app to make use of a number of features that add to the entertainment, including:

  • Live Leaderboards: See real-time scoring for both individual and team events during the round to crystallise positional awareness and fuel the battle for bragging rights;

  • Digital Scorecards: An easy-to-use scoring system with minimal clicks for a best-in-class user-experience;

  • Schedule Group Events: Organise events at more than 39,000 golf courses worldwide;

  • Share & Invite Members: Seamlessly send an event link to ensure group members can join instantly in just one click;

  • Highlight Key Event Details: Share event times, costs, prizes and other key information, plus track attendance and payments;

  • Multi-Round Series Scoring: Track multi-round series leaderboards for weekend trips or season-long events;

  • Team Formats & Side Games: Track longest drive and nearest-the-pin competitions, offering players a fun way to interact on golf days;

  • Play Friendly Rounds: Set up casual rounds with friends anytime.

ParUp Golf is the latest product from two industry stalwarts. Ian Lowther is a former Head of Brand Marketing for Betway, and has also worked in senior leadership roles for Betfair, BetVictor and Ladbrokes. While his co-founder, Andy Dymock, also has an extensive background in gaming, having worked in senior management roles at Ladbrokes, BetVictor and The Ritz Club London. Dymock’s most recent role was with the German industry giant Merkur.

The application has been fully developed by The Unit, demonstrating its ability to create and execute robust, scalable platforms. Accordingly, ParUp Golf is another successful example of The Unit’s nous in creating native iOS and Android applications tailored to the specific needs of a client to enhance engagement, user experience and monetisation potential.

In a future phase of the launch, ParUp Golf will unveil a peer-to-peer betting feature, where players will be able to seamlessly place bets against each other within the app, with the winners of a specific side or social game taking their cut of any pooled prize pot.

Paddy Casey, Co-founder at The Unit, said: “We are very proud to have played our part in bringing ParUp Golf to market. It’s an innovative and incredibly useful platform that will add more excitement and gamification to the recreational, social golf experience.

“While The Unit is primarily associated with sports betting and iGaming, the production of the ParUp Golf app as a sports app in its first iteration is proof of how we can diversify and adapt our offering to different domains, formats and game types.

“Custom mobile app development is a key part of our core offering, and we are thrilled to be able to bring that expertise to the world of golf. We wish Ian, Andy and their team all the best with ParUp Golf and we’re very excited to see how it will grow in the coming years.”

Ian Lowther said: “We have launched ParUp Golf with the aim of making recreational group golf easier to manage and more fun to play. By partnering with The Unit, we have given ourselves the best possible chance of success.

“The technology provided by The Unit allows ParUp to create and maintain a more inclusive, more interactive, and more memorable golfing journey – via high-quality, easy-to-use reliable tech.

Andy Dymock said: “We will keep working with The Unit as we continue to grow. And with our background in sports betting, we are perfectly positioned to introduce social betting features into an upcoming phase of our launch. This will be one of several new features still to come, so watch this space!”

TrafficGuard Launches in the United States to Help More Businesses Combat Growing Ad Fraud and Invalid Traffic

The New York expansion strengthens TrafficGuard’s ongoing commitment to reducing global advertising fraud and non-genuine digital traffic, as U.S marketers demand greater transparency, control, and performance certainty amidst AI boom.

TrafficGuard, a leading platform for digital ad verification and fraud prevention, has announced the launch of operations in the United States to support its global growth strategy. TrafficGuard CEO, Mathew Ratty, has relocated to TrafficGuard’s New York office, formalising and accelerating the company’s existing U.S presence to further serve evolving invalid traffic and ad fraud prevention demands in the U.S, and support its growing channel ecosystem. With commercial and customer-facing teams already operating in the United States, this move reflects a deliberate step to scale local leadership, support, and go-to-market execution.

Ratty will support the next phase of U.S growth by meeting with customers and partners in the United States. His presence demonstrates TrafficGuard’s commitment to gathering first-hand feedback on customers’ traffic quality, invalid behaviour, and ad performance challenges across complex, high-spend media environments. He will leverage these insights to boost data integrity, optimisation confidence, and campaign resilience for US businesses with the most efficient solutions to monitor, detect, analyse, and respond to invalid traffic, including but not limited to fraud.

“We’re seeing a rapid increase in sophisticated ad fraud alongside high volumes of non-genuine and non-incremental traffic in the United States, with impacts on budgets becoming much more frequent,” said Mathew Ratty, CEO of TrafficGuard. “For U.S advertisers operating at scale, it’s no longer just about blocking bad clicks. It’s about protecting decision-making, optimisation models, and growth efficiency. That’s where TrafficGuard’s enterprise-grade approach stands apart. We remain committed to building resilience to protect brands across the globe. With an expanding U.S team and accelerated product innovation, 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for TrafficGuard.”

In 2025, TrafficGuard strengthened its executive leadership team with the appointment of Miguel Lopes as Chief Product Officer, based in the United States. With deep experience building and scaling enterprise technology, Lopes is fast-tracking new product development and unlocking additional acquisition channels, ensuring TrafficGuard continues to meet the demands of high-spend, multi-channel advertisers and enterprise media teams.

TrafficGuard is a multi-award winning platform that detects, mitigates, and reports on digital invalid traffic and ad fraud before it hits advertising budgets, trusted by thousands of global businesses including enterprise brands operating across highly competitive verticals such as finance, eCommerce, travel, and gaming. This strategic move will further strengthen TrafficGuard’s presence in the United States as its U.S customer base continues to grow and more brands seek locally supported, enterprise-ready solutions. The company is riding a robust growth pipeline, with plans to significantly expand its team in the region and enable brands to boost their revenue and confidently scale advertising campaigns by eliminating non-genuine, non-incremental, and wasteful traffic across paid media.

“It’s clear that tackling ad fraud and invalid traffic more broadly is becoming a more urgent priority for advertisers in the U.S, and this is one of the main drivers behind our decision to expand in the region,” said Chad Kinlay, CMO at TrafficGuard.  “As AI accelerates automation across media buying, marketers need independent, enterprise-grade validation to ensure performance data can be trusted. TrafficGuard helps brands defend profitability today while building smarter, more resilient growth for the future.”

The expansion reinforces TrafficGuard’s position as a leader in a rapidly evolving ad landscape. The company is enhancing enterprise-grade traffic validation, prevention, and optimisation intelligence and accelerating the rollout of innovative products across the globe to meet the demands of next-generation digital advertising, while ensuring U.S customers are supported by local expertise, local teams, and local insight.

TRUEiGTECH has announced the launch of an enterprise-grade prediction market platform, designed to help operators, platform owners, and institutions build outcome-based or event-driven trading markets at scale.

As traditional sports betting, media monetization, and trading platforms face growing competition and regulatory complexity, prediction markets are emerging as a fast-growing adjacent category. By converting collective expectations into tradable probability signals, operators can offer differentiated products without the need for entirely new user acquisition channels.

TRUEiGTECH-built prediction markets are already deployed by operators across the USA and Europe, with additional rollouts underway. Once a niche, prediction markets are now becoming primary offerings for iGaming operators. Analysts forecast that leading platforms could handle $1 trillion in annual trading volume by 2030, up from roughly $10 billion today, with revenues potentially exceeding $10 billion.

Why Operators Are Turning to Prediction Markets

Prediction markets offer several advantages:

  • “Bet-on-anything” model – create markets across business, finance, entertainment, politics, and emerging trends.

  • Faster market entry – ideal for existing iGaming operators with infrastructure in place.

  • Early-mover advantage – tap into a category still developing globally.

  • Global momentum – strong uptake in the U.S. and other regulated markets where event-driven participation is growing.

Flexible Deployment Models

TRUEiGTECH co-founder Prish Kumar explained:

“We provide turnkey and bespoke prediction market platform development solutions. Plus, we also offer prediction market clone development and prediction market API integration solutions.”

Operators can use TRUEiGTECH platforms to launch new prediction markets or extend existing offerings, with flexibility and scalability at the core. The platform is designed to be regulation-ready for markets in the USA, Europe, and other regulated jurisdictions.

TRUEiGTECH: Enterprise iGaming Solutions

TRUEiGTECH specializes in enterprise-grade betting and trading infrastructure, offering:

  • Casino Platforms – AI-driven online casino software , multi-game aggregation, player account management, and compliance-ready architecture.

  • Sweepstakes Platforms – legally structured software for markets with restricted real-money gaming.

  • Sportsbook Software – advanced odds management, risk control tools, and real-time in-play betting.

  • Casino Games – responsive slots and custom content optimized for performance and integration.

As traditional sports betting, media monetization, and trading platforms face increasing competition and regulatory complexity, prediction markets are emerging as an adjacent category with significant growth potential. By converting collective expectations into tradable probability signals, these markets provide operators with a differentiated product without requiring entirely new user acquisition channels.

TRUEiGTECH built prediction markets are already used by operators across the USA and Europe with additional deployments underway. Prediction markets have transitioned from experimental niche platforms to primary offerings by iGaming operators.

Analysts forecast leading prediction platforms will handle roughly $1 trillion in annual trading volume by 2030, up from about $10 billion today. Revenue, meanwhile, could rise to $10 billion+ by 2030.

TRUEiGTECH’s decision to build prediction market software and platforms at this juncture will certainly prove useful for business owners and operators looking to enter the industry with the right product. 

Operators are increasingly drawn to this segment because it offers:

  • A “bet-on-anything” model, enabling markets across business, finance, entertainment, politics, and emerging trends.
  • Faster entry compared to traditional sportsbooks, especially for existing iGaming operators with established infrastructure.
  • Early-mover advantage in a category that is still taking shape globally.
  • Strong momentum in the U.S. market & across the globe, where demand for event-driven participation continues to accelerate.

TRUEiGTECH Offers Prediction Market Platforms in Multiple Ways

TRUEiGTECH’s co-founder, Prish Kumar, shares the multiple models and solutions available as a part of the company’s prediction market offerings.

“We provide turnkey and bespoke prediction market platform development solutions. Plus, we also offer prediction market clone development and prediction market API integration solutions.”

With TRUEiGTECH, operators can launch prediction markets or extend existing business offerings. By focusing on flexibility and scalability, TRUEiGTECH aims to position prediction markets as an accessible expansion path rather than a complex standalone venture.

With this launch, TRUEiGTECH enters the prediction market space as an infrastructure provider focused on enabling operators to build and launch regulation-ready prediction platforms in the USA, Europe and other regulated markets.
