Golden Boomerang Awards 2025 has launched a special competition for the Champions League semi-finals
Boomerang Partners, a rapidly growing global brand, is excited to announce the launch of a special contest in conjunction with the 2025 Golden Boomerang Awards tournament, running until May 11. This contest, dedicated to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, offers tournament participants a chance to compete for exclusive prizes.
With more than 400 affiliate teams participating worldwide, the competition is fierce, with monthly prizes up for grabs. The final prize drawing will take place on May 3, where one lucky winner will have their dream fulfilled. In addition to monthly prizes, awards will be given in 11 different categories.
The special Champions League-themed contest is open to both current tournament participants and newcomers. Registration for this unique opportunity is open until May 5, giving everyone a chance to win the grand prize — the coveted ‘Home Stadium Fan’ VIP experience. Affiliate managers will provide details to new participants.
The Champions League semi-finals are a top event in the world of sports, which generates fantastic interest among fans. The first matches will take place on April 29 and 30, when Arsenal will play PSG and Barcelona will face Inter, respectively. The return matches will take place on May 6 and 7. All the teams that made it to the top four deserve to win.
Arsenal are betting on the Champions League, given that they are 12 points behind leading Liverpool in the English Premier League and have played one more match. PSG are 23 points off the lead in the French Ligue 1, and can safely focus on the Champions League. Interestingly, Arsenal already played PSG in the second round of the tournament’s group stage and won 2-0.
The game between Barcelona and Inter looks particularly interesting. It is a rematch of the 2010 semi-final, when Inter eventually won the Champions League trophy. The teams approach the game as leaders of the championships—Spain and Italy. Barcelona’s best striker, Robert Lewandowski, will miss the first game – he is out for about three weeks due to injury.
The upcoming Champions League matches will be a powerful boost for the participants of the Golden Boomerang Awards. It is not only a chance to win a special prize, but also an opportunity to improve their positions in the sports leaderboard.

Stake, the world’s largest online casino, today announced the launch of Stake Engine — a next-generation Remote Gaming Server (RGS) built to give developers the tools, infrastructure, and audience they need to succeed on their terms.
Backed by the technology behind 300 billion bets and a global community of over 20 million players, Stake Engine offers an instant path to revenue with full end-to-end game development tools and the most developer-friendly commercial model in iGaming: 10% GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue), paid monthly.

Who can build?
Any developer. From math devs and indie studios to full-stack teams, if you can design and deliver engaging games, you’re welcome here.

Stake handles the infrastructure, distribution, and visibility, so you can focus on what matters: building great games. There’s no pitching, no storefront politics, and no delays.
