Reading Time: 2 minutes
Up-and-coming trainer joins ahead of new National Hunt season
BETDAQ has signed Grade 1-winning National Hunt trainer Harry Whittington as a new brand ambassador.
The partnership will see Whittington provide weekly content on the exchange’s multi-sport content site, betdaqtips.com, allowing BETDAQ’s customers a unique insight into one of the UK’s most promising National Hunt yards.
Whittington, who began his training career with five-time champion trainer Nicky Henderson, first came to the public’s attention in 2016 when stable star Arzal was a fantastic winner of the Grade 1 Manifesto Novices’ Chase at Aintree.
The Oxfordshire-based handler is coming off his strongest season to date with 27 winners, at a 20% strike rate, and he currently has his strongest bunch of horses in training, with Graded winners Saint Calvados and Bigmartre the stable’s flagbearers.
He joins Irish duel-code trainer Gavin Cromwell as a BETDAQ brand ambassador ahead of an exciting new jumps season. Cromwell has enjoyed a strong start to the new season with 13 winners and a further seven winners on the flat.
Eamon Moran, Marketing Manager, BETDAQ said: “It’s fantastic to be able to welcome Harry Whittington to the BETDAQ team. He is a trainer that has made huge strides in a short space of time and we can’t wait to see what the upcoming season holds.
“Saint Calvados and Bigmartre are two horses to really look forward to but, having recently visited the yard, there seems to be a host of other interesting prospects as the new season draws upon us.”
Harry Whittington, brand ambassador, BETDAQ said: “I am very happy to be on board with BETDAQ ahead of the new National Hunt season and look forward to giving their customers my views on all of my runners.
“We have plenty of exciting horses this season and the whole team is hoping we can build on last year which was our most successful to date.”
A committed partner of UK and Irish racing, the GVC-owned betting exchange is title sponsor of the Punchestown Champion Hurdle and ARC’s starting stalls sponsor. BETDAQ is also the principal sponsor of Sunderland AFC and Charlton Athletic FC.

BACKFORCE extends long-standing partnership with BIG through 2028
Berlin International Gaming (BIG) is proud to announce the extension of our longest-standing partnership: BACKFORCE, a premium German gaming chair manufacturer, will continue to support BIG and its athletes for another three years, until at least mid-2028.
Since the beginning of our partnership in September 2019, BACKFORCE has been a fundamental pillar of support. Their gaming chairs, “Made in Germany”, have set new ergonomic and quality standards in the industry and have helped our athletes perform at the highest level. Whether it was during our CS:GO team’s rise to the top of the world rankings or our recent international victories across various titles, BACKFORCE has always had our backs. Also, during challenging times, they keep supporting BIG, which shows their dedication to the German and European esport scene.
More than just a supplier, BACKFORCE has also been a driving force in our content strategy. These series will continue, alongside new content formats and offline activations in the years ahead. We can also announce that they will be part of our next Overtime party at IEM Cologne, stay tuned for more information!
The extension of our collaboration is a testament to the mutual trust, shared values, and the strong personal connection between our organisations. We are incredibly thankful for BACKFORCE’s continued belief in BIG and the support for our community. #GOBIG
Statement Daniel Finkler, CEO of BIG: BACKFORCE is not only our longest-standing partner, but they are also one of our most loyal. Since 2019, they have provided our professional teams with what I consider the best gaming chairs in the world. Their support has always gone far beyond the commercial side: every person at BACKFORCE genuinely cares about BIG, our community, and the future of German esports. Extending our partnership for another three years means a lot to us. We’re proud and thankful to continue this journey together with Head of BACKFORCE Stefan “slame” Krumme and his team!
Statement Stefan Krumme, Head of BACKFORCE: It was actually back at IEM Cologne in 2018 when Backforce decided to partner with BIG. We saw the passion, the surroundings, and everyone welcoming people with an open heart. We already went through highs and lows, and supported the players as well with some warm words after losses or wins. The mutual trust between Backforce and BIG is unmatched. It´s easy to switch to a more successful team, that’s just not who we are and what you should be. Support the team when it’s needed the most. Stay with them and rise again. I personally just have one wish at this point. I attended so many Tier 1 tournaments, seeing other teams we support, I would love so much to see BIG on a stage again. #GEMEINSAM!

WEMADE to Launch Steam Playtest for Tactical FPS Black Vultures
- First public reveal of tactical FPS Black Vultures: Prey of Greed via Steam playtest
- Playtest runs July 25–28 for players in North and South America
- Major gameplay improvements implemented following April FGT
- New trailers highlight core gameplay and NVIDIA-powered AI combat system
Global game publisher WEMADE announced today that it will host the first Steam playtest for Black Vultures: Prey of Greed, a new tactical first-person shooter developed by THISMEANSWAR, a WEMADE studio, and published globally by WEMADE.
About the Playtest
The Steam playtest will run from July 25, with access open to players in North and South America. Interested players can request access on the game’s official . Selected participants will receive email instructions ahead of the test. Additional entry opportunities will be offered through community events on the official .
The playtest follows an April Focus Group Test (FGT), which provided valuable user feedback and prompted significant enhancements to the game’s combat balance, control systems, and overall feel.
To preview the upcoming experience, two new trailers have been released:
- – A look at the in-game action and core mechanics players will experience during the test.
- – A behind-the-scenes look at Viper, the AI-powered combat gear co-developed with NVIDIA, and how it integrates into the battlefield for strategic decision-making.
Players can stay up to date and explore in-depth gameplay information through the game’s official Discord and Steam Community Hub, which serve as the primary channels for community engagement and development updates.
About Black Vultures: Prey of Greed
Black Vultures: Prey of Greed is a tactical FPS set in a fractured warzone where trust is scarce, resources are limited, and every mission begins with a choice. Navigate abandoned infrastructure and hostile zones. Intercept transmissions, gather intel, and complete your objective—before rival squads get there first. Choose your battles carefully. The deeper you go, the higher the risk—but the greater the reward.
Core Features
- Three-Faction Conflict: Battle between three rival squads in an unforgiving warzone. No teams. No alliances. Just shifting tactics and uncertain outcomes.
- Life Ticket System: Each team starts with a shared pool of lives. Once depleted, respawns end and survival becomes personal. Every life matters.
- Team-Based Looting: Loot is stored in a shared squad inventory and only granted upon extraction. Coordination is key. Greed is a risk.
Community-Driven Development
With the Steam Alpha Playtest on the horizon, community feedback will directly influence the future of Black Vultures. Through a Community-Driven Development approach, the team at THISMEANSWAR is building the game hand-in-hand with players.
Help shape the experience. Let us know what works, what doesn’t, and what makes every match worth playing. Join the discussion on Discord and help define the battlefield.
