Hyper-growth bookmaker Midnite is a sponsor of both Southampton and Sheffield United
Midnite, the fastest growing bookmaker in the UK, provided supporter coach travel for 100 Southampton supporters, as they set off on a 460-mile round trip to watch their beloved Saints take on Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.
Midnite, who are the official training kit partner of Southampton and the principal partner of Sheffield United for the 2025/26 season, created The Midnite Express, offering luxury travel filled with entertainment along the way for Tuesday night’s EFL Championship match.
The lucky Saints fans were joined on The Midnite Express coaches by Southampton legends, Matt Le Tissier, James Beattie, and Francis Benali.
With DJ sets, football quizzes and Q&As throughout, fans were treated to a unique experience, all designed to create unforgettable moments for these loyal supporters, while easing the financial strain that comes with away supporter travel.
And Saints fans went home happy as a 2-1 win meant they took the three points back to the South Coast.
Le Tissier, who scored 100 goals in 270 top-flight appearances for Saints, said: “With the cost of living crisis that we’ve got going on in this country at the moment, with the train services, it’s really difficult for fans to get to and from these away games.
“And The Midnite Express initiative of putting coaches on for the fans to get up to Sheffield United was absolutely brilliant. We had a good laugh!”
Former England and Southampton striker, James Beattie, added: “It was great to be part of The Midnite Express and travel down with the Southampton fans. We had a very fun journey and the fans put in a proper shift for such a long journey.”
Andrew Mook, Head of Brand Marketing at Midnite, added: “Everbody hates a long commute, but we wanted to create something for Southampton fans with a sprinkle of Midnite magic.
“These fans are what makes football what it is, and we wanted to reward them with a day that they won’t soon forget by spending the journey with Saints legends and fellow fans. The feedback has been brilliant, and we’re pleased to have been able to ease the financial burden while bringing fans closer to the teams they love.
“The match marked a unique and special moment for Midnite as both of our sponsored clubs met for the first time. We’re already looking forward to the return fixture in January, when we’ll be running the Midnite Express, this time for Sheffield United fans.”

Hot on the heels of the recent launch of Flamez, Ganadu Gaming has announced the arrival of Speedz online casino.
The operator wasted no time in providing punters with one of the most entertaining iGaming propositions, a platform designed to match player expectations. Quick to get started, faster to get to the fun: Speedz is all about the pace.
Top gear gaming
The secret behind the Speedz premise lies in reducing the touchpoints while maintaining the global standard for safety and security – a no-compromise approach that’s certain to appeal to players.
From registration to deposit, play and withdrawals, the customer journey is personalised and data-driven, using the latest technology to deliver the experiences they most enjoy. Speedz is a Pay’n Play casino in Finland, where players can use BankID for registration and verification, so they can start playing and withdrawing right away, ensuring that customer data is protected.
There’s a broad spread of payment options (selected credit cards, e-wallets, and online banking facilities) designed to meet player preferences according to the regions from which they’re accessing the online casino, making it easier to make deposits and, with a bit of luck, withdrawals.
Speedz has a competitive Welcome Offer, along with ongoing promotions in partnership with the world’s leading game providers. Better yet, the Cashback mechanism rewards players for joining in the action to the tune of up to 20% cashback rewards every day.

Table games like blackjack, roulette and baccarat echo the challenge and strategy of traditional casino entertainment: realistic graphics and design offer a gripping environment to rival that of a brick-and-mortar casino that’s just as easily enjoyed via mobile as it is on desktop.
While certain games are region-specific due to local regulations, there’s plenty to offer new and seasoned players the opportunity for leisure entertainment.
Two casinos, twice the fun!
Ganadu Gaming is rapidly expanding the entertainment offering with back-to-back casino launches in a matter of weeks.

‘The voice of Spain’s gaming community will be at the very heart of ICE Barcelona 2026’ states Clarion Gaming’s Ewa Bakun
Reading Time: 2 minutes
ICE Barcelona has demonstrated its commitment to the Spanish industry following a highly successful engagement program at the Expo Congreso de Juego Luis Escribano in Torremolinos.
Recognised for being one of the most established and respected gatherings in the Spanish gaming calendar, the event provided a powerful platform for the ICE team to connect with industry leaders, regional representatives, and national stakeholders, as momentum builds towards the second edition of ICE Barcelona taking place January 2026.
The ICE Barcelona delegation engaged with more than a dozen of Spain’s most influential trade associations, including Asociación de Operadores de Juego de la Comunidad de Madrid, Asociación de Operadores de Asturias, Asaebin Andalucía, Ageo Galicia, Andemar Comunidad Valenciana, Anesar, Aemexa Extremadura, Club de Convergentes, CEJUEGO, Femara and Aspromares to share the exciting development plans for January’s event.
Reviewing the programme of meetings Ewa Bakun, Director of Industry Insight and Engagement at Clarion Gaming said: “Our aim in Torremolinos was clear: to listen, to connect, and to demonstrate our commitment to the Spanish industry. The conversations that we had were without exception forward-looking and constructive focussing on how we can work hand in hand with associations to shape and deliver a Spain-focused agenda at ICE 2026.”
She added: “Topics ranged from regional market opportunities to association-led content creation, as well as new ways to maximise knowledge sharing, showcase innovation, and elevate Spain’s presence on the global gaming stage.”
“A central pillar of our discussions was the La Plaza —a dedicated hub on the ICE show floor. More than simply a meeting point, La Plaza will host an industry-led programme co-curated with the Spanish associations, featuring bespoke content sessions, networking events, and collaborative initiatives that put the voice of Spain’s gaming community at the very heart of ICE Barcelona.
“We warmly invite all associations, including those we could not meet in person at the Expo Congreso, to join us on the journey to Barcelona and play a central role in shaping ICE 2026. The response from delegates to both the debut of ICE Barcelona in 2025 and the 2026 roadmap was overwhelmingly positive.
“Attendees expressed strong enthusiasm for the opportunity to showcase Spain’s strength and dynamism on a global stage, while also embracing the chance to contribute to the broader strategic conversations impacting the future of the industry.”
