Veloce Racing reveals CanO Water partnership for Ocean X Prix
London-based Extreme E team, Veloce Racing has announced a one race partnership with revolutionary drink container solutions specialists, CanO water. This partnership was born from a mutual goal to disrupt their respective industries, changing the way people think about recyclable water storage as well as sustainable motorsport.
CanO Water was established after its three co-founders witnessed the horrifying effects of plastic pollution first-hand during a trip to Thailand in 2014. The sight of harmful plastic bottles littering the beaches inspired Josh White, Perry Alexander Fielding and Ariel Booker to dive deeper into the statistics surrounding plastic and aluminium recyclability. Following some worrying reading, CanO Water was born. Now, in 2021 the brand has sold over 15 million cans that are recyclable forever to stores and events across the UK.
With just 7% of total worldwide plastic being recycled, and the UK recycling 82% of aluminium beverage cans in 2020, the need for change is clear.
Veloce Racing meanwhile has made the leap from esports to real-world competition and has quickly established itself as a key player in electric motorsport.
Extreme E’s second race – the Ocean X Prix (29-30 May) – presented a perfect opportunity for this collaboration to take shape, with Veloce working with a local NGO to support efforts to decrease plastic pollution in Senegalese waters.
The one-race partnership will see CanO Water branding adorn the Veloce Racing ODYSSEY 21 bodywork while canned water will be supplied to the team to keep them on top of their game this weekend.
Daniel Bailey, CEO, Veloce Racing commented:
“We’re really excited to have CanO Water onboard for the Ocean X Prix. Their values align with our own so well and it ties in perfectly with the Legacy Programme which the team are supporting before the race in Senegal.
“Plastic pollution is obviously a huge problem and more needs to be done to combat it. The work CanO Water are doing to improve the recyclability of drinks containers is unparalleled, so we’re all hugely proud to announce this partnership.”
Josh White, Co Founder, CanO Water added:
“Collaborating with brands like Veloce is the perfect way for us to increase our visibility and get our message out there in front of fresh audiences that are sustainability conscious and engaged with the issues plastic pollution creates for our planet. Veloce’s environmental goals, make this the perfect place to be raising awareness for our brand.”

BETBY ACHIEVES GLI CERTIFICATION FOR PERU, EXPANDING ITS FOOTPRINT IN LATIN AMERICA’S REGULATED MARKETS

BETBY, a top-tier sports betting supplier, has received certification from Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) to provide its sportsbook solution in Peru’s regulated market. This certification marks another significant milestone in BETBY’s continued expansion across Latin America.
With the Peruvian government formalizing its regulated sports betting framework, GLI certification has emerged as a crucial requirement for providers aiming to serve licensed operators in the country. BETBY is now authorized to deliver its innovative and tailored sportsbook solutions in Peru’s rapidly expanding regulated betting market.
GLI’s certification, recognized as a benchmark for excellence, validates BETBY’s ability to meet Peru’s strict technical requirements, including those related to sportsbook functionality, information security management systems, and information security standards. Peru’s regulatory framework is primarily based on GLI-33 certification, which BETBY successfully achieved in early 2025. As a result, the company was well-positioned to swiftly meet the country’s compliance standards.
“Peru represents a key step in our broader Latin American growth strategy, as the region continues to adopt clearer regulatory frameworks for online sports betting,” said Ilze Ramolina, Head of Legal & Compliance at BETBY. “Securing GLI certification for this market, which has a growing digital infrastructure and tech-savvy audience, allows us to support licensed operators in launching compliant and competitive offerings from day one. This is yet another step forward in our mission to deliver tailored, localized solutions that meet both local requirements and regional expectations across the region.”
This achievement follows BETBY’s previous certification for the Brazilian market, solidifying its presence in two of Latin America’s most promising jurisdictions. The supplier’s flexible and highly localised sportsbook platform, combined with its commitment to compliance, positions it as a trusted partner for operators looking to thrive in newly regulated environments.
By entering the Peruvian market, BETBY continues to demonstrate its strategic focus on Latin America, providing hyper-localized, engaging, and secure sports betting experiences for both operators and players.
