Fast growing iGaming business Checkd Media has announced that its highly successful William Hill-sponsored show, No Tippy Tappy Football with Sam Allardyce, has returned for what promises to be a thrilling conclusion to the ongoing football season.

First launched across Checkd’s Footy Accumulators social channels in the build-up to the 2022 World Cup, the content proved to be a major hit, delivering over 14 million impressions and 1.4 million views with guests including Simon Jordan, Graeme Souness and Neil Warnock.

The video podcast, which has full episodes available to view on Footy Accumulators’ YouTube channel, will continue to be hosted by Natalie Pike alongside Allardyce and has a slew of new high-profile guests lined up to provide exclusive insight, opinions and anecdotes with plenty to discuss both on and off the pitch.

Confirmed names include Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler, former top-flight referee Mark Clattenburg, ex-Liverpool and England star Emile Heskey and former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood.

Will Tyrrell, Director of UK Media at Checkd Media, said: “Creating a forum for open, honest discussion with some of football’s best-known names is what we set out to achieve when we created No Tippy Tappy Football, so it is fantastic to see this come to fruition and the positive response we’ve had so far.

“It is fantastic to have a high-profile name such as Sam Allardyce on board once again to share his no-nonsense opinions on footballing matters. We are also delighted that our long-term operator partner William Hill continues to support our vision of providing entertaining content combined with betting insights for football fans.”

Daryl West, Head of Sponsorship, Social and PR at William Hill: “We are thrilled with the engagement No Tippy Tappy Football with Sam Allardyce has brought in so far, keeping our audience returning each week for its must-watch content, expert opinions and tips. The calibre of guests joining Big Sam and Natalie is top-notch and we look forward to continuing our journey together until the end of the season.”

No Tippy Tappy Football with Sam Allardyce gained a legion of fans and created a significant buzz across mainstream and sports media with its World Cup-themed discussions. The extension of the show’s run follows on from Checkd Media’s launch of exclusive weekly horse racing show, The Inside Track, which is produced for William Hill. The show covers news and tips and is hosted by Checkd-owned The Winners Enclosure’s analyst James Mackie, alongside a host of William Hill ambassadors including Kate Tracey, Sir AP McCoy and Barry Geraghty.

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.

Global entertainment brand SkillOnNet is deepening its existing partnership with Stockholm-based game studio Thunderkick to launch the developer’s unique, engaging slot titles in Ontario.

The Canadian province is one of the most exciting regulated markets in North America, and the Ontario players will now gain access to Thunderkick’s full portfolio of highly acclaimed games via SkillOnNet-powered online casino brands such as PlayOJO, SlotsMagic, and SpinGenie.

Thunderkick is known for its independent, boundary-pushing slot games like Pink Elephants, Esqueleto Explosivo, and Beat the Beast and has established a strong reputation for creativity and originality in the iGaming space. The deal allows the studio to further expand its global footprint while giving Ontario players the chance to enjoy a fresh wave of premium content.

Ontario’s regulated online gaming market, which officially opened in 2022, has quickly become a key market for the iGaming industry, and SkillOnNet was among the first brands to secure licensing in the province. The expansion reinforces SkillOnNet’s commitment to delivering top-tier entertainment in regulated markets globally.

Jani Kontturi at SkillOnNet said: “Thunderkick has been a key partner of ours in other markets, and we’re delighted to bring their outstanding content to Ontario. This region is fast becoming a vital part of our operations, and we’re confident players here will respond just as positively to Thunderkick’s games as they have elsewhere.”

Mariam Dodosh, Account Manager at Thunderkick said: “We’re thrilled to expand our relationship with SkillOnNet and enter the Ontario market together. Our games have a track record of strong performance, and we’re excited to see them go live in one of the most dynamic new regions in iGaming.”
