Betsson, the leading betting company with a longstanding commitment to sports, has become the official title sponsor of the A1 Padel Swedish Master tournament. Taking place in Halmstad from July 10 to 16, the prestigious event will bring together some of the world’s top padel players.
A1 Padel, formerly known as APT, was originally scheduled to be held in Båstad, Sweden last year but faced a last-minute relocation to Tenerife. However, this summer it is finally Sweden’s role to host the much-awaited seven-day long tournament on the main plaza in Halmstad. The Betsson Swedish Master offers a prize pool of one million SEK (€86.5k / £74k). Attendees and viewers alike can expect a great show from the pitch as participants include top-ranked players Maximiliano Arce and Franco Dal Bianco as well as the illustrious star Leo “Tolito” Aguirre.
Christer Garell, CEO of A1 Padel Sweden, said: “We are delighted to join forces with Betsson as the title sponsor for this summer’s biggest padel event. Betsson is one of the operators that has demonstrated most commitment to the sport over the years. Moreover, they are actively involved in South America, the birthplace of many exceptional attending players. I am sure that with Betsson’s support, alongside the odds, will elevate the experience for the live spectators as well as those watching the live broadcast on ESPN.”
Betsson’s ambassador, Cayetano Rocafort, winner of two APT competitions in 2021, said: “I have lived in Sweden for five years and witnessed how quickly the sport has developed. The Betsson Swedish Master is another great example of how it’s thriving and I’m very excited to see world-class padel players from all over the world.”
Mattias Wennerkvist, Managing Director of Betsson Sweden, said: “We are immensely proud to support A1 Padel in Halmstad. As keen followers of the sport, it is an honour for us to be associated with this event, just as we have been for numerous other padel initiative over the years. Our dedication goes beyond mere sponsorship, as we will closely follow the intense action, conduct exclusive player interviews, provide competitive betting odds, and, above all, enjoy the privilege of witnessing world-class padel unfold before our eyes.”

- New division to strengthen Dizplai’s end-to-end offering with new level of services to Dizplai clients
Dizplai, a leading media experience company, trusted by global sports rights holders, brands, betting companies and broadcasters to transform passive audiences into engaged communities, has today announced the 100% acquisition of PickGuru, the most customer-centric, free to play, gaming platform on the market.
PickGuru provides smart solutions that drive audience and commercial objectives for today’s multi-channel bookmakers, publishers and rights holders. PickGuru’s solutions enable partners to quickly and easily create predictor and fantasy games for their platforms, and drive both deeper engagement and commercialisation opportunities.
The acquisition brings together two innovators in the fan engagement space, creating the new division, Dizplai Gaming. This division will expand Dizplai’s end-to-end offering and drive even greater experiences for fans across both first and second screens.
“We fundamentally believe that when audiences are compelled, through a gamified approach, to interact, it makes content more engaging, more commercially valuable, and enables it to grow and, ultimately, retain audiences,” said Ed Abis, CEO Dizplai. “The acquisition of Pickguru as a business, and the team of people who will join Dizplai, will enable us to supercharge that approach, offering a whole different level of services to our clients, thus driving our overarching strategy.”
Paul Watkins, PickGuru: “Dizplai and Pickguru have a collective vision, and this acquisition enables us to accelerate product developments that enables us to build on the Dizplai mantra of “Gamifying the Game”. Fans want to be part of the action and love predicting outcomes, collectively we can deliver on this. Watch this space!”
Paul Cobley, PickGuru: “The Pickguru platform was built on the principle of flexibility. We are committed to enabling our partners to quickly and easily create gamified experiences for their platforms that drive both deeper engagement and commercialisation opportunities. This is an extremely exciting time for us.”
Following the acquisition of PickGuru, Dizplai announced two new senior roles, in line with the growth of the business, with Paul Watkins as Chief Financial Officer and Paul Cobley as Director of Gaming.
Increasingly considered as the ultimate fan solution for live sports owners and creators, Dizplai fuses tech, creative and content experiences to create engaged communities for sports brands and organisations. Every day, millions of sports fans tune in to live broadcasts, which have been enhanced using the Dizplai platform, from companies as diverse as Sky Sports, TNT Sports, Manchester City, Liverpool FC, SuperTri, William Hill and The United Stand.
2024 has been a big year for Dizplai:
