Infront Partners with Genius Sports to Provide LFP Media with World-leading Tracking Technology
Infront, the media, betting and technology partner of France’s Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), has partnered with Genius Sports to implement cutting-edge tracking technology across the Ligue 1 McDonalds and Ligue 2 BKT.
Infront’s commitment to deliver best-in-class technology and data services to the LFP is part of a broad partnership encompassing betting rights, selected media rights and digital and technology services, the latter powered by Infront Lab, the innovation arm of Infront.
The use of computer vision for data capture sits closely at the heart of Infront’s new betting division, Infront Bettor. As part of a broad partnership, Infront will introduce Genius Sports’ world class data and tracking technologies to the LFP.
The partnership with Genius Sports comes on the heels of a highly successful phase for Infront, marked by strong performance for both betting and media sales across the LFP. This latest collaboration underscores Infront’s momentum in delivering cutting-edge solutions to its partners, further reinforcing its role as a key player in the evolution of the sports betting and media landscape.
Powered by GeniusIQ, Genius Sports’ next-generation AI and data platform, the LFP will benefit from a single, connected system that will drive innovations from player and game analysis to how fans experience France’s premier football league. Machine learning and AI will provide data-driven performance tools to LFP coaches and analysts enhancing training, in-game decision making and post-match analysis. Augmented, data-driven broadcasts will also include key tracking insights displayed to viewers in real-time.
Full coordination of the technology with the LFP will be handled by Infront as it looks to deliver an improved product to the league’s media partners as well as bookmakers.
Martin Aurenche, LFP Media Chief Media Officer, said: “Infront has demonstrated their commitment to ensuring the LFP remains at the forefront of football innovation through this partnership. We are excited to see what GeniusIQ will bring to our league in terms of cutting-edge data insights, enhancing not only the fan experience but also providing clubs and coaches with invaluable tools to elevate their performance.”
Chris Catling, Head of Infront Bettor, said: “The appointment of Genius Sports is a testament to Infront and LFP’s shared commitment to innovation. It will enhance both the fan experience whilst also empowering clubs and coaches with tools that drive performance and strategy. The LFP continues to be a dynamic partner and together we are charting a course for the future of football that is both exciting and transformative. Our intention will always be to provide the best technology available to our partners, either in-house or via trusted third parties.”
Jack Davison, Chief Commercial Officer of Genius Sports, said: “Together, Infront, LFP and Genius Sports share a vision for implementing best-in-class technology to enhance French football both on and off the pitch. We’re excited to begin this new partnership to put the LFP at the forefront of data innovation through GeniusIQ. From enabling coaches to find their winning edge to powering augmented, data-driven broadcasts, GeniusIQ provides the foundations for unparalleled fan engagement.”

Indulge in sweet wins with Playson’s 25 Cookies: Hit the Bonus™
Playson, the accomplished digital entertainment supplier, is embarking on a mouthwatering adventure in 25 Cookies: Hit the Bonus™, with delectable Bonus Games, lavish multipliers, jackpots and the Hit the Bonus series’ largest-ever 5×5 game field.
A wholesome festive backdrop sets the scene for the engaging Bonus Game, which can be triggered by landing five symbols on the middle row, with a stocking’s worth of rewards ready to unwrap. The Sticky Bonus symbol can appear randomly on the reels during the Main Game and remains until the Bonus Game is triggered.
At the start of each Bonus Game, three re-spins are granted, with each new icon resetting the number of spins to three. This continues until all cells are filled or the player runs out of respins. The Bonus Game is further enhanced by the Multiplier feature, with up to 10 sticky Multipliers able to land on each spin when triggered randomly. Any further multipliers that land on the same cells will increase the multiplier value.
The Extra Bonus Game can be randomly triggered if any Bonus, Sticky Bonus or Jackpot symbols land on the middle row during the Main Game, adding further symbols in quantity enough or more to activate it.
Mystery symbols transform from gifts into Bonus, Jackpot or Boost symbols at random, while the Mystery Jackpot symbols transform into Mini, Minor or Major Jackpot symbols. The Boost symbol is active across both the Bonus Game and Extra Bonus Game, collecting all Bonus, Sticky Bonus and Jackpot symbol values from the reels and adding them to the value. If Multipliers are present, they are applied to the value of the Bonus and Sticky Bonus symbols before collection.
Three gingerbread jackpots can also be earned in the Bonus Game or Extra Bonus Game, when green, blue and purple gingerbread icons land on the reels at random. The corresponding jackpots include Mini Jackpots (10 bets), Minor Jackpots (20 bets) and Major Jackpots (50 bets). If all 25 cells are filled, a Grand Jackpot of x1,000 is awarded.
The Buy Bonus features offer three levels of Bonus Game for different bet amounts. For 50 Bets, players can buy the Bonus Game, while 100 Bets purchases the Extra Bonus Game and 300 the Super Bonus Game.
Vsevolod Lapin, Deputy CEO at Playson, said: “25 Cookies: Hit the Bonus™ is a delightful seasonal addition to our Hit the Bonus series, rounding off the year with an expanded 5×5 field that offers more chances to discover thrilling bonus opportunities.
“This is set to be a tasty treat for players this festive season, with twists and turns in the form of multipliers, a trio of Bonus Games and intriguing modifiers.”

Amusnet Releases Coin Gobbler – Christmas Edition
Amusnet has unveiled a great seasonal addition to its Online Casino portfolio, Coin Gobbler – Christmas Edition. It features one of the company’s most likeable characters and a new theme that brings joy and a Christmasy mood.
Once again, the distinguished gentleman Oscar and his favourite pet – the golden piggy – are here. This time, they are set within a fun and colourful Christmas theme to put everyone in the right mood for the upcoming winter holiday season while guiding players through the game and helping them gather the precious Bonus coins. Again, the game features a cluster pay method and a 6×6 layout complemented by high-quality graphics and cheerful sound effects.
Apart from the fruity symbols and the combinations they form on the reels, players should also watch for the Golden Coin, which is the Free Spins symbol, and will help them boost their winnings. All Golden Coins are collected in their piggy bank, and the more coins players collect, the higher level they reach and the more Free Spins they get. The most impatient players can also use the Buy Bonus feature to try out the Free Spins as quickly as possible without collecting the necessary number of coins.
Cluster
A unique type of online slot game that eliminates traditional paylines and features cluster pay mechanics, where a minimum number of matching symbols must appear adjacent to each other horizontally or vertically to form a cluster and secure a win.
Progressive Free Spins
The Free Spins have a round progression feature. Besides the slot screen is a Progression bar with five levels – 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 5×5 and 6×6. Each level indicates the size of the Wild symbol once reached. All Bonus Coin symbols landing anywhere on the reels are collected until the end of the round, with a new level reached for every 4 Bonus Coin symbols collected.
Buy Bonus
When the “Buy Bonus” button is activated, the player is enabled to buy Free Spins.
Gamble
Play the game and multiply your winning through the Gamble feature!
Jackpot Cards
Once the Jackpot Cards bonus game is triggered, impressive Jackpots are revealed!
