Quarter4 to Power DraftFuel’s NFL Content and Data Engine in Progressive Technology Partnership
Quarter4, an AI-powered predictive sports data and analytics provider for media, affiliates and betting platforms, today announced it has partnered with DraftFuel, a FinTech startup in the online sportsbook, casino, and daily fantasy sports space, to provide users with cutting edge Quarter4 predictive data and statistics and power DraftFuel’s content engine for the 2022 NFL Season. Quarter4’s predictions and data will be displayed in DraftFuel’s app next to lines and odds offered at various sportsbooks where users can then use their DraftFuel Discover® Prepaid Card to place bets.
DraftFuel, which launched in October of 2021, acts as a dedicated gaming fund. The DraftFuel app + debit card enables users to accumulate money in their DraftFuel account via two primary methods. Users can connect their pre-existing debit or credit cards to the app to be monitored for the accumulation of “spare change” from everyday purchases such as gas and coffee. In addition, users can set up a fixed percentage of their bank deposits (Ex: up to 5% of direct deposits) to be automatically transferred to their DraftFuel account. Both methods mitigate risk by empowering users to only play with “true discretionary funds.”
“DraftFuel is creating new opportunities for casual bettors to fund their bets. Our predictive analytics are sharp, simple and intuitive, providing DraftFuel users the added confidence they need to stay on the platform and create bets through DraftFuel’s sportsbook partners,” said Danijela Covic, CSO at Quarter4. “This partnership is creating an exceptional value-add to a subset of the market often ignored by larger marketing efforts. Now casual and small-wager bettors will have access to advanced analytics, elevated content and a new heightened overall betting experience.”
Quarter4’s predictions, which enable its partners to bring sports betting content to life for the sports betting newbies and the seasoned veterans, are automatically generated by a validated deep learning neural network. Historical statistics of yesterday are combined with the big data of today to generate a predictive data point for every player and team in select college or professional sports. With up to 2 million predictions produced daily, and updated no less than every 15 minutes, the unbiased insights deliver an intimate viewpoint for the bettor and fan.
“When we started DraftFuel, we wanted to create an environment where bettors of any skill and frequency can enjoy guilt-free gaming,” said DraftFuel Co-founder Alex Cullingford, “Adding Quarter4’s unbiased predictions will give our users an extra boost of confidence and knowledge in addition to simplifying terminology for our users.”
“Progressive tech attracts progressive tech and we couldn’t be happier about the match that Quarter4 and DraftFuel make,” said DraftFuel Co-founder Tom Mangan. “Armed with Quarter4’s data, our users will be empowered to make smart, responsible decisions when betting.”
Quarter4, which recently added WNBA data to its suite of predictive offerings, is backed by Cardinal Sports Capital Inc. DraftFuel’s financial technology is powered by Central Payments.

Thunderkick commits to growth in Ontario with Betty partnership

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has agreed a deal with Ontario-based operator Betty to supply the rapidly growing online casino with a diverse collection of globally popular titles.
Betty, an official partner of sporting franchises Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, has risen to prominence since its 2022 establishment, when it was built following the consultation of 300 casino players to create the optimal iGaming environment.
Distinguishing itself from North American competitors by catering specifically to slot enthusiasts rather than sports bettors, the operator has curated a portfolio of 2,800 games, hand-picked to deliver customers maximum entertainment value.
Thunderkick’s content is the latest to be integrated into Betty’s online casino, and the agreement will see a selection of its most popular titles, including The Wildos 2, Midas Golden Touch 3, and Esqueleto Explosivo 3, made available to a greater number of Ontarian players.
Thunderkick marked its debut in the Canadian province in Q2 of 2024, and has since partnered with a network of leading operators to improve its market position. The collaboration with Betty will further amplify its visibility in a key jurisdiction as the provider looks to reinforce its reputation as a global slot developer.
Svante Sahlström, CCO at Thunderkick, said: “It’s our mission at Thunderkick to go deeper, not wider, in 2025. That means forging meaningful, lasting relationships in target markets as opposed to securing as many commercial deals as possible.
“Since entering Ontario over 12 months ago, we have worked tirelessly to enhance our presence in the province, and working with leading brands such as Betty allows us to bring our unique games to a deeper pool of Canadian players.”
Paraskeva Smirnova, Casino Operations Manager at Betty, added: “Betty’s USP has always been our drive to build a slot portfolio with the very best titles from the industry’s most creative suppliers.
“Thunderkick’s passion for slot development is there for all to see, and the introduction of its games to our casino further elevates the consumer experience.”
