THE UNIT APPOINTS ANDY CLERKSON AS CHAIRMAN
The Unit, a leader in product design and development for sports betting and iGaming, is delighted to appoint Andy Clerkson as Chairman, as part of a concerted effort to scale the company. Andy initially joined The Unit in 2023 as Strategic Advisor, bringing with him an extensively successful background in the iGaming industry, having founded influential creative and technology agency Grand Parade in 2007.
After selling Grand Parade to William Hill in 2016, Andy was instrumental in the creation of FOX Bet in the USA, a joint venture between The Stars Group and FOX Sports. He is also former Chairman of F2P sports game provider SportCaller, and is a Partner at leading investment and advisory firm Tekkorp Capital. Andy’s role at The Unit will provide expertise and unrivalled experience in scaling outsourced product design and development teams, as the company embarks on a period of international expansion. Such work includes a recent partnership with Sportingtech’s brands in Brazil and an ongoing collaboration with PlayStar Casino.
Paddy Casey, Co-founder at The Unit, said: “I’ve known Andy for more than a decade, going back to my days working for Coral Interactive. We joined forces when I moved to Grand Parade, where we created a ground-breaking sports-betting platform, and we are now delighted to bring him onto The Unit’s board as Chairman.
“With The Unit set to scale up and take on several new markets, this is the perfect time to utilise Andy’s experience, and he will be able to take a more hands-on approach as we strategise for the future.
“I very much look forward to working closer with Andy across the next couple of years, and I can’t wait to embark on the next stage of our journey together with The Unit.”
Andy Clerkson said: “I have been thrilled about The Unit’s potential since Paddy decided to build a world-class betting and gaming design and development house. No-one has done this with the scale and capability of my former company Grand Parade – yet! The Unit are now in a position that is very familiar to me, as we scale the teams and skill sets that will allow our clients to grow and expand at pace.
“We anticipate a smorgasbord of product innovation in the near future as new categories, such as prediction markets, social casinos, DFS 2.0 and more, vie for attention. We have seen sports betting and gaming explode in newly-regulated markets like LatAm and Africa. The Unit’s sports, casino and social gaming specialist teams provide a golden opportunity for companies looking to build new products and features and get ahead of their roadmaps. Indicators are pointing towards a welcome increase in M&A from the lows of 2023/24, which drives even more competition.
“These are perfect conditions for The Unit as we have the deep ingrained knowledge and expertise to help gaming companies of all sizes, all across the globe, build high-quality products, on time and on budget.”
With product and development teams in Ireland and Moldova, and a newly-formed North American business-development division having opened in New York in January, The Unit holds an unwavering commitment to becoming the partner of choice throughout the industry.

BleeqUp Kicks off Crowdfunding Campaign for Award-Winning Ranger AI Sports Camera Glasses
After winning eleven awards at MWC 2025 for its Ranger AI sports camera glasses, BleeqUp begins accepting pre-orders through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter
Following the successful debut of its Ranger AI sports camera glasses at MWC, which earned eleven prestigious best-of MWC awards, BleeqUp has opened pre-orders through a new Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, with substantial early-bird offers and discounts available. To present a better value to outdoor sports enthusiasts—including cyclists, runners, and adventurers, BleeqUp has reduced the final MSRP to $449.
Darling of MWC
If you missed the news at MWC, BleeqUp recently revealed its AI-powered Ranger sports camera glasses, which combine the functionality of a wide-angle action camera, a walkie-talkie, quad-driver headphones, and UV400-rated glasses, all in a single package. And with AI-powered highlight detection for automatic video editing, sharing details of your trip with family, friends, and social media only takes a tap and just a few seconds, rather than hours of tedious video editing. These promises, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon® W5 chipset, helped the BleeqUp Ranger to stand out at MWC 2025.
BleeqUp Ranger offers up to five hours of electronically-stabilized video recording with its tail light-equipped battery pack, and up to forty-eight hours of high-quality audio playback, courtesy of its superior MEMS drivers. Built-in touch controls, the remote control, and the walkie-talkie keep you connected on the trail — but not so connected that you can’t enjoy the ride. Its ultra-light TR90 frame combines comfort and durability, with an adjustable nose pad and prescription lens compatibility.
Thanks to its unique concept and cutting-edge technology, the BleeqUp Ranger earned eleven different best-of MWC titles from several trustworthy media companies such as PCMag and Android Authority, as well as almost countless articles covering its unique features and benefits.
Kickstarter Launch
Starting today, April 10, BleeqUp has opened pre-orders for the Ranger AI Sports Camera Glasses through Kickstarter, in a campaign set to last for the next 45 days. Those who paid the $9.9 deposit prior to the Kickstarter launch will get the Ranger at $299. Backers pre-ordering during the campaign can take advantage of limited-time discounts such as the $329 “super early bird” pricing.
Ranger pre-orders through the crowdfunding campaign are available in Black and White colorways. Accessories are also available for pre-order as part of the campaign: The helmet-mounted battery pack is available for a $49 super early-bird price, and the Bluetooth controller is available for a super early-bird price of $39. Three different types of lenses are also available for pre-order, including UV-400 rated lenses, photochromic lenses, and high-quality Zeiss lenses.
Kickstarter pre-orders for Ranger will ship beginning in June. Final MSRP for the Ranger has been reduced to $449 for an even better value.
From April 10 to 13, BleeqUp will be showcasing the Ranger glasses at Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, California. Consumers are welcome to experience the product firsthand on the show floor.
