Footy Accumulators Betting Hub a hit with operators as app delivers record player numbers

Footy Accumulators’ Betting Hub app is primed for further tier-one operator API integrations after setting new performance records in 2021.
The user-friendly betting companion app from Footy Accumulators, the betting community brand which is part of Checkd Group, saw a record number of bets placed in January 2021, with a 20% increase on the previous monthly best.
Betting Hub is now set to hit a total of 200,000 unique users across iOS and Android after successful API integrations with some of the sports betting industry’s biggest names including bet365, Paddy Power and Betfair, with more tier-one deals set up to roll out in the near future.
The integrations mean that customers can login, check their balance and place bets without leaving the app, leading to a much slicker user experience.
Within Betting Hub, the Smart Acca tool has proven extremely popular, recently passing an overall total of one million selections added to betslips and establishing itself as a key USP for both attracting and retaining app users.
Smart Acca allows for fixtures to be organised based on form and statistical analysis. The user can choose their preferred betting markets and the tool will present those games which are statistically most likely to be a favourable choice based on pre-processed historical OPTA data. The accumulator builder allows users to easily build their bets from these selections and place them with the operator of their choice.
Checkd Group is a fast-growing iGaming affiliate based in Manchester, UK. As well as Footy Accumulators its Checkd Media division runs popular affiliate brands Oddschanger and The Winners Enclosure, while the Checkd Development division is responsible for the group’s technology platform and product suite.
Adam Patton, MD at Checkd Development, said: “Month-on-month, Betting Hub is delivering increased gains across a number of commercial and customer engagement metrics for our API partners.
“With new milestones consistently being achieved by Betting Hub, a lot of which being driven by the Smart Acca tool, we are focused on building on the success through ongoing product improvements. We also look forward to rolling out new API integrations with additional tier-one operators in the coming months.”

IMGL: New Dedicated Gaming Law Magazine Launched Today

The International Masters of Gaming Law (IMGL) has today launched a brand-new magazine dedicated to gaming law. IMGL Magazine replaces previous jurisdiction-based magazines to confirm the organisation’s global focus and ever-widening membership base. The new magazine can be accessed in digital format here https://online.flippingbook.com/view/550079/
The first edition of the new IMGL Magazine brings together articles from expert authors spread across five continents. North America features three times in the magazine with a look at developments in New York State and Hawaii and the regulation of Loot Boxes in Canada. Europe is well covered with an update on the UK Gambling Act Review and an opinion from the European Gaming and Betting Association on post Brexit data flows in Europe. There is an exploration of Fantasy Sports in India, a route map for gaming regulation in Africa and an on-the-scene report on the New South Wales casino inquiry in Australia.
Speaking at the launch of his organisation’s new publication, IMGL President, Marc Ellinger said: The IMGL Magazine sits alongside IMGL Masterclasses, Regional Conferences, Semi- Annual Conferences, including virtual conferences to offer the broadest array of educational opportunities in the gaming sector. The IMGL has and will continue to address the most timely (and sometimes the most challenging) issues in the global gaming industry.
Editor in Chief, Simon Planzer said: “This first edition sets the standard for what will be a truly worldwide publication with global authorship and readership interested in gaming law. Gaming law issues, which arise in one jurisdiction, are often reminiscent of the discussions in another. In the IMGL Magazine, you will find high quality scholarly articles with equally high practical relevance from the four corners of the gaming world.”
IMGL Magazine will be a quarterly digital publication available to members and non-members through partnerships with Clarion Gaming, SBC Gaming and the National Counsel of Legislative Gaming States. The next edition will be published in Summer and is likely to include contributions such as on the regulation of crypto currency transactions in Malta, an analysis of the first few months of operation of the new French regulator “Authorité Nationale des Jeux” (ANJ) and on the passage of Canada’s new single-event sports betting legislation.
