GGBET UA became the title sponsor of FC Dynamo Kyiv

The partnership was announced on 25 June at the Dynamo 3.0 media event held in Kyiv, Ukraine. GG.BET is the first betting brand in the club’s history to be given title sponsor status.
Kyiv was the venue of a press conference with the leadership of UPL team FC Dynamo, who were celebrating another special occasion: 30 titles in the club’s history. CEO Dmytro Brif, team captain Vitaliy Buyalskyi, and midfielders Oleksandr Karavayev and Andriy Yarmolenko spoke about their journey to this latest achievement and future plans for the football club.
At the event, they presented a new title sponsor: the GGBET UA will be a partner of FC Dynamo Kyiv for three years. Plans include continuing to bring the fans and the team closer together, opening up new sides of Dynamo to supporters through joint projects, custom content, and special offers.
During the announcement, GGBET UA CEO Sergii Mishchenko revealed the symbolism of the name: “Dynamo 3.0 isn’t just about the thirty titles, although of course this is a momentous and historic event. It’s also about a new era for Dynamo and GGBET UA. It’s a totally new level of collaboration, with a status that no betting company has ever been awarded by the Kyiv club, and involving lots of time and possibilities for carrying out special projects. For us, this is an opportunity to work even more closely with football fans, to increase brand awareness, and to achieve both our own business objectives and those we can work towards with the club. So, I’m confident that during three years of collaboration, we’ll be able to impress both our users and Dynamo fans”.
”Keeping the bar high and working with the best – that’s the dream of every club. This is a very inspiring period for Dynamo. We have thirty incredible successes under our belt. We’re entering the new season as reigning champions. We’re being supported by a partner who can significantly boost our media presence and help us to organize a range of activities that will surprise even the most demanding football fans. We’ll do everything we can to make sure that this season, the quality of our football and the ideas we embody with GGBET UA shine as brightly as the stars on our new emblem,” commented FC Dynamo’s CEO Dmytro Brif.
Previously, GGBET UA had been the official sponsor of FC Dynamo Kyiv for European cup matches, as well as the sponsor of its winter training camp in Turkey.

ThrillTech powers Paf with bespoke, player-funded jackpot solution

New partnership will drive revenue and monetisation across Paf’s gaming ecosystem through bespoke side-bet mechanic
Nordic-based gaming operator Paf has partnered with ThrillTech, the specialist B2B provider of licensed, player-funded jackpot mechanics, to launch its innovative side-bet jackpot products across Paf’s gaming portfolio.
The integration will see ThrillPots™ deployed across key verticals, enabling Paf to deliver engaging, compliance-led jackpot experiences designed to increase session value, drive incremental GGR and boost monetisation—without disrupting existing revenue streams.
Unlike traditional jackpots, ThrillTech’s products are fully licensed and funded directly by players via opt-in side bets, giving operators access to new revenue opportunities while maintaining regulatory standards. The rollout was achieved through a seamless technical integration and will be made available across multiple markets, including Finland, Sweden and Estonia.
“This partnership with Paf is a milestone moment for ThrillTech,” said Faye Williams, Head of Business Development at ThrillTech. “Paf is one of the most respected operators in the Nordics and their focus on social responsibility makes them an ideal partner for our licensed jackpot ecosystem. We’re thrilled to bring our customisable side-bet jackpots to their players.”
ThrillTech’s flagship jackpot products serve complementary purposes: For example, ThrillPots™ drives incremental monetisation through pooled side-bet mechanics, while ThrillDrops™ delivers real-time, rule-based rewards that enhance engagement.
Kim Johansson, Chief Gaming Officer of Paf, added: “ThrillTech’s jackpot mechanics offer a fresh and modern take on how to create value for both players and operators. We’re excited to be able to offer this concept to our players and to further explore the possibilities of bespoke jackpot campaigns.”
Founded in 1966, Paf is a licensed operator known for its commitment to responsible gaming, community reinvestment, and innovation in regulated markets.
The addition of ThrillTech’s jackpots further enhances Paf’s platform with tools that support sustainable growth and player-friendly features.
