Fast-growing iGaming business Checkd Media has launched a new exclusive weekly World Cup-themed podcast series, No Tippy Tappy Football with Sam Allardyce, which is being sponsored by William Hill.

Former England manager ‘Big Sam’ is the recurring guest on a podcast that is being launched across Checkd’s Footy Accumulators social channels, starting on 25th October, running for eight weeks up until the end of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The podcast, which can be listened to through Apple Podcasts and Spotify, with full episodes available on YouTube, is hosted by Natalie Pike. It starts with an episode that also features Allardyce’s former right-hand man at Bolton, former Liverpool player and England coach Sammy Lee, as they discuss which players would make their own 26-man squad, if they think England have what it takes to win the World Cup, and which players should make up Gareth Southgate’s starting XI.

No Tippy Tappy Football with Sam Allardyce will go on to cover a range of topics and betting tips revolving around the forthcoming action in Qatar, which kicks off on Sunday, November 20 and ends with the World Cup final on December 18. A regular stream of guests including Simon Jordan, Graeme Souness, Duncan Ferguson and Peter Reid will appear alongside Allardyce in the coming weeks.

Will Tyrrell, Director of UK Media at Checkd Media, said: “No Tippy Tappy Football with Sam Allardyce is a light-hearted podcast that is big on personality. It features guests that have helped to shape the modern game providing insight and betting tips, as we look forward to a tournament like no other in Qatar.

“Sam Allardyce is among the most recognisable managerial faces in the game and it’s great to be able to bring him on board for a high-quality offering. We are delighted the podcast is being sponsored by our long-term operator partner William Hill and we look forward to further building on our past successes in delivering excellent KPIs for our tier-one operator partners.”

Daryl West, Head of Sponsorship, Social and PR at William Hill, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Checkd Media on a show that aims to cut through the noise and give fans a no nonsense view on all the stories surrounding the World Cup. There is no better person than Big Sam to deliver honest and insightful analysis of England’s World Cup campaign so we’re thrilled to have him on board to front the show. During the World Cup our aim is to provide epic value to football fans both in terms of content and promotional offers. No Tippy Tappy Football in combination with Checkd’s highly engaged recreational betting community does just that.”

Kaizen Gaming, one of the biggest GameTech companies in the world, had an impressive double-win at the SBC Awards Latinoamérica 2024 on the 31st October in Miami, Florida. Awarded ‘Brazilian Market Entrant of the Year’, and ‘Marketing Campaign of the Year’, the two wins follow an impressive year of growth and exposure for Kaizen Gaming, as well as its premium brand Betano, across Latin America and globally.

Betano is rapidly growing its user base and presence in Brazil, serving as the main and title sponsor of Brasileirão Betano and Copa Betano do Brasil. As a founding member of the ANJL and IBJR regulatory bodies, Betano is recognised for its dedication to upholding the highest standards of responsible gaming and integrity. Furthermore, the Betano brand has launched multiple CSR initiatives across the country in partnership with sponsored team, Clube Atlético Mineiro. It also recently launched the “Juntos em Campo” long-term program in cooperation with CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) to promote initiatives focused on gender equality.

Awarded for the results and creativity of its innovative “Football in America” marketing campaign, Betano successfully introduced Latin America to its “Confia” brand platform by leveraging on its CONMEBOL Copa America™ 2024 sponsorship. The campaign chimed with the spirit of fans across the continent by celebrating Latin America’s rich football heritage, playfully responding to Kylian Mbappe’s 2022 comments questioning the region’s football quality.

Vangelis Skarkalis, Kaizen Gaming Senior Commercial Director LATAM, said: “Latin America is one of the world’s most dynamic and exciting regions for i-gaming. Being recognised as a leading player in this important market with two wins at the prestigious SBC Awards Latinoamérica is a great honour – especially on the heels of our recent double-win as ‘Operator of the Year’ at both the EGR Operator Awards and SBC Awards. Achieving this success requires an exceptional team of dedicated, ambitious professionals. This award honours everyone’s hard work and commitment to always going above and beyond in delivering the best experiences for our customers not only in Latin America, but worldwide too.”
