Checkd Group Bolsters Media Division with Launch of New Digital PR Team
James Dixon leading drive to elevate visibility of key brands in the United Kingdom and North America
Technology-led sports betting specialist Checkd Group has established a new digital PR team to boost its organic search performance across its key sites in the United Kingdom and North America.
James Dixon (pictured) has been installed as Head of Digital PR at Checkd Media, the group’s content and marketing arm. He leads a team that will work on boosting the visibility of proprietary brands in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and South America including Footy Accumulators, The Winners Enclosure and FlashPicks while also providing digital PR services to partners through the creation of a performance marketing service offering.
The launch of the new service intends to supercharge Checkd’s new and existing brands, providing a more solid focus on organic performance as a key traffic and revenue-driving channel with digital PR as a linchpin.
A former journalist with ten years of experience in the iGaming industry, Dixon arrives from online casino affiliate BonusFinder where he has a proven track record of success in key markets around the world.
George Rogan and Liam Conroy have joined Checkd Media as Digital PR Managers in support of Dixon while Charlie Giblin has been appointed Digital PR Executive.
The new hires follow Rob Cable’s appointment as PPC manager late last year as well as George Webb joining as Head of SEO to bolster the company’s activity in the United Kingdom and the United States.
“This is a key moment for the trajectory of the organic team, bringing together an industry-leading passionate and experienced team that will accelerate the growth of Checkd Group’s brands going forward,” Dixon said. “The benefits of having a team in-house have already been visible with huge improvements in our keyword rankings resulting in record monthly traffic and conversions with the teams’ improved efficiency meaning we can react quickly to leverage key opportunities to improve the authority and expertise of the brands.
“The team are going to be living and breathing the brands and we’ve made sure to bring in a lot of very experienced people that understand the kind of ideas and approaches that work as we establish a forward-thinking team to tackle our brands’ strategies.”
“The establishment of our new digital PR team serves as a watershed moment as we bid to enhance the visibility of our leading brands and content,” the Managing Director for Checkd Media, Alex Beecham, said. “The new personalities and expertise we have brought on board will help us to reach new audiences all over the world. It’s a really exciting time for us and represents real progress for our team.”

Spinomenal marks the start of the holiday season with Majestic Santa
Reading Time: < 1 minute
Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has unwrapped its new title Majestic Santa, signalling the start of the festive season.
Spinomenal’s festive-inspired treat is a 5×3 slot that is bursting with Christmas imagery including red stockings, gingerbread men, and glistening golden bells. The reels are beautifully presented within a golden frame amongst snow-covered rooftops, softly glowing windows, candles, and lanterns. A festive, homely soundtrack wraps players snugly into the action as they look to win.
Unwrapping three Christmas wreaths will take players into the Free Spins game. Before the round begins, players spin the Wheel of Fortune to determine both the number of free spins (between 10 and 40) and the symbol that will double during the feature.
Majestic Santa’s bonus feature is triggered when three luxurious gold ribboned presents appear on screen. Players are given three spins to start, and the goal is to complete the metre by collecting Scattered winning symbols.
One segment of the metre is completed with five present symbols and players can win extra spins when they find a +1 symbol. Once the spins end there will be the final payout calculated by the final filled metre cell.
Majestic Santa also includes Stacked Wilds, where Wild symbols can land during spins to elevate the chances of a festive win. In the base game, only Double Symbols can be triggered — transforming all symbols into their double form for even greater payout potential.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Majestic Santa is an ode to the magic of the holiday season. Its warming visuals and festive soundtrack perfectly complement the excitement of Stacked Wilds and Double Symbols, delivering unmistakable Christmas cheer and plenty of chances to win.”

ThrillTech makes three additions to senior team to accelerate ‘explosive’ growth
– VP of Growth, Global Sales Director and Head of Technical Compliance recruited
– Additions bring experience from Evolution, Pragmatic Play and Kiron
– Jackpot provider aiming to build on momentum after breakout year
ThrillTech, the global leader in side-bet jackpot technology for iGaming operators and game studios, has strengthened its senior team as it looks to build on a period of “explosive” growth.
Xavier Besseau has been appointed VP of Growth, making the switch from Kiron Interactive. Xavier has more than a decade of experience in iGaming, with previous roles at Sportradar, TrueLayer and Gaming Innovation Group.
Nemanja Grujicic has also joined the commercial team as ThrillTech’s Global Sales Director. Grujicic was most recently head of account management at slots provider Popiplay and was previously in a similar role at Pragmatic Play.
Also joining the ThrillTech team is Rocio Mata, who arrives as the new Head of Technical Compliance. Mata spent more than 10 years with Evolution, most recently as Senior Technical Compliance.
Collectively, the new arrivals bring deep expertise across commercial strategy, compliance and growth acceleration – all core pillars of ThrillTech’s next phase.
Founded in 2023, ThrillTech has enjoyed a successful 2025 and now employs 15 people, working remotely and in offices in Cyprus and Malta.
ThrillTech helps amplify player experiences while boosting GGR for partners with its unique ThrillPots and ThrillDrops products and is now licensed and certified in 10 jurisdictions.
Benjamin Bradtke, co-founder at ThrillTech, said: “A huge indicator that a company is doing well is its ability to attract and retain the brightest minds in the industry, and I am so pleased to say that the three new hires we’ve welcomed across Q4 are an incredible asset to ThrillTech.
“This has been a genuine breakout year for us. We’ve seen explosive growth across our product lines, expanded into new jurisdictions and secured partnerships with operators who are embracing a more creative approach to jackpots and player engagement.
“Bringing Xavier, Nemanja and Rocio into the business now is very deliberate – they’re here to help us accelerate that momentum through the final stretch of 2025 and propel us into an even stronger 2026.”
