NordicBet is launching a new communication concept and a new brand identity. The concept, ”Makes sports bigger”, aims to strengthen the brand’s position in the Nordics not only by showing its passion for sport, but also by representing the supporters’ passion for sport in a unique and different way. The new concept is the first example of our new international design and creative hub, which aims to streamline and scale the company’s work within brand identity and design across Betssons markets. NordicBet is first out, but we will see more brands within the Group supported by the Global Brand & Creative team led by our Director of Brand and Creative, Kay Hook.

“With our new international design hub we will be able to leverage marketing campaigns across brands and markets, creating synergies and efficiencies across the Group. The Nordics are first out with this kind of collaboration, and other markets will follow,” says Ronni Hartvig CCO Betsson Group.

NordicBet was one of the first sports betting brands in the Nordics to offer bets beyond the big top leagues. The brand quickly became a favourite among sports fans. The brand is now taking new steps to further strengthen its identity with a more cross-market approach.

“Like the soccer player, the hockey player or the handball player, many of the supporters and fans have their own routines, or even rituals, which they believe they must do to support their team. It can be wearing the team’s shirt, putting on lucky socks or having the same match day routines; all to support their team and doing whatever it takes to win. That perception is the starting point for NordicBet’s new campaign. But we have taken this a little further, adding true feelings, sometimes uncommon rituals and friendships, that Makes sports bigger,” says Kay Hook Director of Brand and Creative.

The concept is launched, among other things, with the new TV commercial above will consolidate NordicBet as the obvious place for sports lovers to enhance their experience. The concept has been developed in collaboration with the advertising agency Hong Kong. The award-winning Danish director Jeppe Rønde, known for the film Almost Human with Stephen Fry, and the production company Bacon have also been involved in NordicBet’s new TV commercial.

BALTENT’s slots-focused brand says the platform will support tracking, reporting and scalable partner management in regulated European markets.

Slots-focused online casino brand SpinsFriends has partnered with NetRefer to power and manage its affiliate programme as it expands across regulated European markets.

SpinsFriends is operated by BALTENT and runs two brands, Spins and Aladins. The company said it chose NetRefer in part because the platform already had an integration with its platform provider, enabling faster setup.

Artūrs Sarma, CEO and Founder at BALTENT, said, “NetRefer already had an existing integration with our platform provider, which made the decision straightforward and allowed us to move quickly with the setup. As we scale, having clear reporting and flexible commission structures is important, and the platform gives us the tools to manage our affiliate programme in a structured and efficient way. The onboarding process was well supported, and the team guided us through each step, which made the overall experience smooth.”

NetRefer said the deployment includes its Data Ingestion API for structured data transfer and real-time visibility into affiliate activity, alongside reporting tools such as BI Analytics and Report Builder. The vendor also highlighted NetRefer CoPilot AI for performance insights and “Enhanced Tracking,” which it said combines bot detection and user agent details.

Yuliia Borshch, NetRefer’s dedicated Account Manager for SpinsFriends, said, “SpinsFriends is a brand with a clear focus on building a structured and scalable affiliate programme, and we’re pleased to support that with technology designed to deliver both clarity and flexibility. Our platform provides the tools needed to manage performance with confidence, maintain transparency across its affiliate programme, and adapt as requirements evolve. We look forward to working closely with their team as they continue to grow.”
