Bookmaker Star Sports has launched Talking Racecards, a dedicated phoneline to assist visually impaired customers in placing bets on horse racing.

The bespoke service provides customers with a recorded message of the racing event details and odds when they ring 0808 169 9389. They will also be given the option to be directed through to a Star Sports trader to find out more information and to place a bet of their choice.

Each race card will be available from 9am on the day of the event, with the customer given details on the meeting, time, race, type, and race card number, as well as the name of the horse, jockey, and trainer.

Andrew Gemmell, owner of former Stayers’ Hurdle winner Paisley Park, has been blind since birth and believes this will be a huge help to visually impaired people who are passionate about racing.

He said: This is a wonderfully innovative idea from Star Sports. As soon as they told me about it, I simply asked ‘when can I have the phone number?’”

Eddie Lanham, visually impaired Star Sports customer, said: “I’ve bet with Star Sports for many years now. Sadly, my friend who used to read the race cards to me recently died of COVID-19. Star involved me in the trials of this service, and I’ve found it to be a great help and will be invaluable moving forward.”

Luke Tarr, Head of PR at Star Sports, said: “We’re excited to be able to launch the Talking Racecards phoneline to support customers who need help in being read the latest races and odds in order to place a bet.

“With the Cheltenham Festival on the horizon, we felt this was the perfect time to launch the phone line. The service is there to be used for anyone who needs it, with our traders ready and available to provide all the racing event details they need to place a bet and enjoy the race.”

Provider introduces its newest feature, Power Combo, in an action-packed slot with plenty of wild win potential

Step into the heart of the untamed frontier in Bison Moon – Power Combo, a slot from Northern Lights Gaming that captures the rugged beauty and boundless thrill of the Great Plains with plenty of big wins in store.

This action-packed slot introduces the provider’s latest mechanic, Power Combo, where three unique Scatters unlock incredible bonus features via its proprietary Link&Win feature. Players also get to experience the thrill of Expanding Reels for even more wild slotting action.

Players will feel the rush as Multipliers super-charge their payouts, amping up the excitement each time they hit. They can also seize the moment with Instant Collect, allowing them to claim big rewards as and when they drop.

But with each Scatter triggering a new layer of action, no two spins are ever the same.

Adding to the excitement is the Jackpot feature, which has been embedded within the Link&Win bonus. Players must land Jackpot Moons to trigger either Mini or Major Jackpot wins or fill the reels to unlock the Grand Jackpot and the game’s largest payouts.

For the boldest of adventurers, keep watch for the Scatters that turn into Golden Eagles. Collect five in total, and they can activate the Golden Eagle Pick’Em bonus.

From the serene beauty of the open plains to the heart-pounding moments of chasing down the Jackpots and Golden Eagles, Bison Moon Power Combo provides a slotting experience like no other.

All that players need to do to enjoy it is saddle up, embrace the wild and discover the riches waiting to be uncovered under the vast Western skies.

Chris Loftus, Commercial Director, at Northern Lights Gaming, said: “Bison Moon – Power Combo lets players take a walk on the reel wild side as they come face to face with magnificent beasts, big bonuses and plenty of slot playing action.

“Power Combo is a thrilling bonus that changes the game with every spin, and we really couldn’t think of a better game to introduce it to players. This, combined with Link&Win and plenty of jackpots to trigger, makes Bison Moon a compelling and rewarding slot to play.

“We look forward to seeing it roam into online casino lobbies, and for players to embark on their very own big win adventure under the vast Western skies.”

Lisbon, Portugal, 16-18 of September

This September 16-18, SBC Summit in Lisbon will host the official presentation of Communications Hub (CommsHub). The new all-in-one communication management platform helps businesses integrate messaging services 75% faster while ensuring uninterrupted delivery through built-in backup and cascading traffic.

Developed by industry veterans and now operating as a standalone brand in the RedCore business group, Communications Hub is set to change the way high-volume messaging is managed – not only in iGaming and affiliate marketing, but also in fintech, e-commerce and beyond.

A New Era of Smart Messaging

Communications Hub centralizes SMS, flash calls and alpha name registration into one streamlined interface. The platform provides businesses with access to an up-to-date list of verified service providers, flexible routing options and advanced analytics – all designed to reduce costs, save time and increase reliability.

One of the platform’s key innovations is its built-in failover and cascading traffic system, ensuring that no message is lost due to a provider outage or technical disruption.

“We built a Communications Hub to take the uncertainty out of messaging,” said Viktoriia Yefimenko, CEO, Communications Hub. “Our mission is simple: make integration fast, delivery reliable and management effortless.”

75% Faster Integration

The launch announcement comes with a headline figure: Communications Hub reduces the time needed to integrate new providers by 75% – from the industry standard of 35-45 days to just 10 days.

For fast-moving industries, this speed means more than convenience; it can mean seizing market opportunities before competitors do.

Meet the Team at SBC Lisbon

Visitors to SBC Lisbon 2025 will have the opportunity to see Communications Hub at the stand #D181 in action, meet the team behind it and explore how the platform can streamline their communication strategy.

“SBC is the perfect stage for our launch,” added Viktoriia. “It’s where forward-thinking businesses come to explore new technology and we’re ready to show them what’s possible.”

Who Should Visit

Communications Hub is built for any type of messages – from marketing agencies and trading platforms to online retailers and affiliate networks.

The platform’s combination of speed, stability and smart routing makes it particularly valuable for companies where every second and every message matters.

Checkd Dev, the leading iGaming technology specialist and part of the award-winning Checkd Group, has entered into a landmark three-year partnership with OpenBet, a leading provider of betting and gaming technology, content, and services. Together, they will deliver a next-generation Automated Betting Solution (ABS), known as ‘Trending BetBuilder,’ designed to enhance the pre-canned BetBuilder experience.

This strategic collaboration represents a significant milestone for Checkd Dev as it brings its proprietary ABS technology to the BetBuilder vertical for the first time, further expanding the product’s versatility and market impact.

Originally launched in 2023 to optimise the user experience of incorporating key statistics into the accumulator bet journey and increasing bet placement conversion for operators, Checkd Dev’s ABS has now evolved to serve the growing demand for automated, pre-canned bet builder content.

Trending BetBuilder integrates seamlessly with OpenBet’s market-leading pricing and BetBuilder capabilities, powered by SportCast, giving operators a powerful, scalable tool to curate engaging betting opportunities.

The partnership allows OpenBet’s global network of operators to benefit from: Dynamic, stats-driven pre-canned widgets for front-end user engagement, a fully automated back-end system for bet creation, management, and localisation, and a multi-territory ready interface that supports global scalability through a centralised, intuitive admin control panel.

This single integration delivers two key outcomes for operators: significantly increased pre-canned bet builder conversion rates and major operational efficiencies—saving trading teams valuable hours daily.

OpenBet’s BetBuilder, powered by SportCast, has revolutionised the sports betting landscape. This innovative product pioneered player stats and same-game betting, offering a premium and highly personalised experience. Today, it provides unparalleled entertainment to the world’s leading sportsbooks.

Commenting on the partnership, Andrew Grimshaw, Commercial Director at Checkd Dev, said: “This is an exciting step forward for Checkd Dev. Working alongside OpenBet’s SportCast, one of the most respected names in our industry, we’re thrilled to introduce a powerful, automated solution to their extensive global client base.

“Our accumulator product has already proven its value with Tier 1 operators in the UK market. With this expanded ABS now tailored for pre-canned bet builders, we’re confident OpenBet clients will experience both uplift in conversion and operational time savings in what is a high-margin, high-volume betting category.”

Jason Ayton, SVP Business Development & Strategy at OpenBet, said: “Through our BetBuilder product, powered by SportCast, we provide customers with highly engaging, personal digital experiences that immerse them in the excitement of live sport.

“Trending BetBuilder takes the product to the next level for our partners. It offers an automated solution that gives operators around the world a pre-canned content solution that is highly scalable and adaptable to local markets. We believe it will have a major positive impact on the market as it rolls out with our global partner base.”
