With many Premier League clubs raising season ticket prices to over £1000 this year, Virgin Bet is taking a stand for football fans by sponsoring the “A Grand Isn’t Grand” campaign, promoted by Sport Social Podcast Network, awarding eight deserving Premier League season ticket holders with a large cash prize towards their ticket.

Virgin Bet is passionate about rewarding fans, and with Christmas around the corner, this campaign provides a meaningful way to show appreciation for those who make the game great. By supporting fans impacted by raised ticket prices, Virgin Bet is reinforcing its commitment to making football more accessible and driving positive change within the sport.

“A Grand Isn’t Grand” is not just about helping to cover costs; it is about recognising the heart and soul of football: the passionate fans who make the game what it is.

Now open to entries, Sport Social Podcast Network is inviting UK fans to nominate themselves or someone they know to win £1000 cash towards their season ticket. Submissions will be accepted until Friday 22nd December, via their competition page, where entrants can share their stories in writing or upload a voice note explaining why they or their nominee have entered.

Virgin Bet is looking for stories of fans who embody the spirit of the game. Whether it’s someone who has created positive change in their local community, supported their club through thick and thin, or simply deserves a bit of Christmas cheer, Virgin Bet wants to hear about it.

Submissions will be reviewed the week commencing 13th January, with winners notified the week commencing the 27th January.

The initiative is part of Virgin Bet’s brand purpose, “A Good Bet,” which focuses on ways in which the brand can knock down pre-existing barriers and create positive change within sports and culture.

Dominic Vye, Marketing Director of Virgin Bet, said: “At Virgin Bet, we believe that ‘A Grand Isn’t Grand’ when it comes to the cost of being a football fan. We are committed to making sport accessible for all, and with rising season ticket prices, this campaign is our way of supporting fans who help make the sport so special. This campaign is beyond just a refund; this is about celebrating the role fans play in the game and supporting their continued access to the sport they love.”

Fast Markets supply leading sportsbooks with a wide range of in-game, time-driven soccer betting options, providing brands with a further revenue stream across a range of top leagues.

Micro betting, popular in the regulated US sports betting market, is a high-frequency, low-price sports betting product. It is increasingly seen as a key driver to boosting in-play wagering across several sports, creating new opportunities for operators to differentiate, while attracting a new generation of customers who favour instant entertainment, both increasing player engagement and casual player spend.

Tor Skeie, CEO, OddsMatrix, said: “Micro betting is one of the fastest growing betting formats in North America so we’re delighted to be able to provide our customers with access to one of the most innovative products available via nVenue.

“Combining both technologies and offering our fast soccer markets to their customers was a no-brainer. We’ve aligned perfectly with the nVenue team ever since we began partnership discussions and we’re looking forward to seeing the results.”

Rapidly Expanding Content provider and renowned Art Institute in São Paulo partner up for an impactful creative project 

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is proud to announce the launch of a CSR-driven creative project in collaboration with Brazil’s A7MA Art Institute to support local artists, strengthen its ties with the community, and reinforce its commitment to cultural integration.

A7MA Art Institute is a renowned cultural space and gallery in São Paulo that brings together artists, canvases, brushes, and creative minds – united by a shared passion for amplifying contemporary art deeply influenced by street culture.

Last year, BGaming collaborated with A7MA solely on a charity project, but this year, the partnership has evolved into a major CSR-driven art project, which includes BGaming’s ongoing ‘When Art Meets Gaming’ initiative, designed to showcase the talent of local artists during industry events.

The collaboration with the renowned Art Institute in São Paulo is one of BGaming’s largest and most ambitious to date. Two leading artists from A7MA will create a unique artwork to be showcased at BGaming’s stand N80 at BiS SiGMA Americas. One artist will craft a vivid recreation of the ‘Elvis Frog in Vegas’ game character, while the second will enhance it with unique artistic elements.

In addition, a unique graffiti pattern created by A7MA artists, symbolizing Brazil’s vibrant culture, will serve as the key visual element of BGaming’s presence in São Paulo during the exhibition period.

Attendees of BiS SiGMA Americas can see the results of this collaboration firsthand, with the artwork on full display at BGaming’s stand during the event. Four A7MA artists have created exclusive artworks to be featured on gift posters and postcards for BGaming’s clients and exhibition visitors. The pieces blend Brazilian local motifs, gaming elements, and unique artistic styles. Through this initiative, BGaming continues to learn from local cultures, showcase artists’ talent, and provide them with financial support.

As part of a CSR-driven creative project, BGaming will sponsor an exhibition at the A7MA Gallery, which will run from March 22nd to April 17th. This charitable effort will provide crucial exposure for local artists, spotlighting the talent that São Paulo has to offer. It will also highlight the crucial role that young artists play in the community, with many acting as educators and helping to nurture other young artists and inspire a broader sense of creativity.

Kate Puteiko, CMO at BGaming, said: “At BGaming, we want to push the boundaries and change how people perceive the iGaming industry. Through our ‘Art Meets Gaming’ project, we continue to highlight the importance of art in local communities and the crucial roles artists play in developing local cultures. A7MA has been an absolute inspiration to work with, and we can’t wait for everyone at BiS SiGMA Americas to see the result.

Beyond the art itself, this collaboration allows us to make a real difference. By supporting local artists and launching charitable initiatives, we’re demonstrating that iGaming can be a force for positive change within the community.”

Marcos Ramos Enivo, Artist and Co-Founder at A7MA Art Institute, added: “We believe that supporting urban artists worldwide, especially those emerging from São Paulo, is essential for the growth of contemporary art. By creating spaces that give these artists visibility, we not only foster local culture but also offer a new perspective on how people see and interact with the city.

We are immensely grateful for BGaming’s continuous support of the A7MA Art Institute. This partnership has allowed us to keep bringing color and life to the city in a creative way, positively impacting the daily lives of countless people.”
