Spotlight Sports Group (SSG), a world-leading technology, content and media company, has announced a new 2-year partnership with bet365, seeing the leading bookmaker become the title sponsor of the Racing Post show, Upping the Ante, for the fourth and fifth consecutive series.

The new agreement will see bet365 sponsor 21 weekly shows providing an informed ante-post view for the Cheltenham Festival plus a dedicated Cheltenham Festival preview special. The video partnership also includes sponsorship of The Big Jump Off, which is Racing Post’s ultimate preview of the 2022-23 jumps season.

Upping the Ante has become the leading YouTube show for audience engagement among racing fans with record levels of engagement this past year. It also has consistently ranked as the most-watched pre-Cheltenham Festival show, most recently recording growth of more than 40% year-on-year in total show views.

This latest series of Upping the Ante will be hosted by David Jennings who will be joined by legendary punter, Johnny Dineen. As a former bookmaker with his very own pitch in the Cheltenham betting ring, Dineen is regarded as one of the most astute judges in Ireland.

Discussing the new agreement, Spotlight Sports Group’s Chief Commercial Officer, Sam Houlding, said: “Our YouTube content has grown considerably in recent years and forms a hugely important part of our digital output. Upping the Ante has been one of our flagship shows that has helped lead the way over that period and as we get ready to launch the latest series of the show on Tuesday, November 8, our continued and highly valued partnership with bet365 will help take it to the next level.”

Houlding continued: “Upping the Ante has built a very loyal following, with last season being especially successful and we are expecting an even better performance this season.”

A spokesperson for bet365 said: “We are delighted to continue this video partnership with Spotlight Sports Group as we know the quality of the Upping the Ante show is top tier, continuously improving and that it will continue to allow us to promote ourselves to a highly engaged and knowledgeable audience of bettors.”

The first episode of Upping the Ante will air on November 8. Subscribe to Racing Post’s YouTube channel to catch all the action.

Reading Time: 2 minutes

After launching Bet It Drives with Alex Pratt’s high-octane debut, GR8 Tech’s drive-time podcast shifts gears for Episode 2 with Helen Walton, Founder & Chief Commercial Officer of G.Games—a creative force who went from global cosmetics to multiplayer slots without touching the brakes.

Walton’s career spans global beauty brands at Unilever, creative agencies, restaurants, music labels—and now, a 200-title iGaming studio built from scratch with a flat, inclusive team of 80. Known for thriving on “the steep part of the learning curve,” Helen talks candidly with host Yevhen Krazhan about the mindset, risks, and sharp turns that got her here.

In the passenger seat through London’s streets, Helen reveals:

  • How she swapped runways and beauty counters for reels and RNGs.
  • The principles that helped her thrive in an unfamiliar industry.
  • The soundtrack she’d choose for her career journey.
  • The most brutal feedback she’s ever had from a customer — and why it mattered.
  • iGaming buzzwords she’d ban without hesitation.
  • When she’s happy to “network” … and when she’ll firmly “not work.”
  • The best parts of her job and why they’re worth more than a paycheck.

“Helen’s story shows us that being brave and smart can lead to big rewards,” said Yevhen Krazhan, Chief Sales Officer at GR8 Tech and host of Bet It Drives.

With its award-winning production team, Bet It Drives trades stiff studio setups for a moving car, rolling cameras, and unscripted conversation. Each episode takes the industry’s most interesting voices out on the road through London, where the backdrop and dialogue constantly change. The result is part interview, part road trip: a fast-moving, personality-driven format that captures the pace, unpredictability, and human side of the iGaming world like never before.

Episode 2 with Helen Walton is live now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. Buckle up for bold ideas, unfiltered insights, and a career journey that proves the scenic route can be the fastest way forward.
