Meridianbet Continues October’s Traditional Breast Cancer Prevention Campaign
Reading Time: 3 minutes
The gaming operator’s tech-enabled giving system reminds that corporate responsibility can scale without bureaucracy
When a woman in Montenegro called a clinic this October to book a free mammography through a gaming company’s prevention campaign, she didn’t fill out forms or wait for approval. She got an appointment date. The entire process took one phone call.
That simplicity is deliberate.
Meridianbet, operating under the publicly traded Golden Matrix Group (NASDAQ: GMGI), has spent four years building a charitable infrastructure that strips friction from giving.
The breast cancer screening program launched during Breast Cancer Awareness Month under the message “We Are With You” — offering 100 free examinations and 50 mammographies to women over 40 — demonstrates how the company deploys a system that now operates across 18 markets on three continents.
From Local Action to Global Infrastructure
The company completed 293 social responsibility actions in 2024, up from 257 in 2022. But the more revealing number is what happened inside those actions. Through a proprietary platform called Meridian Donate, Meridianbet customers can redirect portions of their activity into direct nonprofit funding. Last year, 43 campaigns ran through the system, reaching 212 organizations. That’s nearly double the 20 campaigns in 2023, when the platform covered eight markets.
The mechanism is straightforward. Customers scan a QR code or click a donation button embedded in the gaming interface. The platform routes funds to pre-vetted causes — maternity hospitals, literacy programs, basketball court renovations, environmental cleanups. No galas, no black-tie pledges, no months-long grant cycles.
Technology Meets Grassroots Execution
The company began testing the model in 2022 with 12 campaigns across six markets. Early projects included equipping maternity wards and funding youth sports programs. By 2024, the platform had expanded to 14 markets and supported work in healthcare, education, culture, and disaster relief.
One campaign tied donations to goals scored during the 2024 European Football Championship. Another linked contributions to Olympic medals won by athletes from countries where Meridianbet operates.
The Meridianbet foundation, established in 2020, now supports more than 40 healthcare facilities. In February 2025, it launched a book donation effort after an employee saw a social media post about underfunded libraries in Serbia. Within weeks, thousands of books had been collected and distributed across all 18 markets.
Employee participation is built into this structure as well. Staff identify needs in their regions, vet partner organizations, and often deliver aid themselves.
In 2024, employees logged 5,027 hours on community projects, compared to 3,084 hours in 2022. The company employs 39 people with disabilities, a figure that has grown modestly but consistently over three years.
Responsibility Embedded Into Business Operations
Meridianbet operates in a sector often scrutinized for social costs. The company has established internal standards that exceed local regulations, including mandatory responsible gambling training and customer-controlled betting limits.
It also participates in the UN Global Compact, aligning its programs with goals around education access, inequality reduction, and sustainable consumption.
The platform’s growth mirrors a broader shift in how corporations approach social responsibility. Traditional CSR often involves writing checks to established charities or hosting annual volunteer days. Meridian Donate embeds giving into the customer experience, creating a feedback loop where user engagement directly funds community projects. The model is scalable because it doesn’t require new infrastructure in each market — the technology travels, and local teams handle execution.
Scaling a Model Built on Simplicity
The company’s roadmap involves expanding health initiatives and environmental programs in 2025, with a focus on regions where it recently launched operations. It’s also exploring partnerships with larger NGOs to scale projects that have worked at the local level.
The breast cancer campaign continues through October and beyond. Appointments fill up as women call the clinic, no paperwork required. It’s a single program in one market, but it runs on the same infrastructure that moved aid to 212 organizations last year. That’s the model: build it once, deploy it everywhere, and let the numbers prove it works.

Delasport’s groundbreaking sports betting jackpot game, SuperPot, has received full certification from GLI in the UK. With this authorization, SuperPot becomes a one-of-a-kind, dedicated Sportsbook Jackpot solution on the British market.
The news comes just days after the revolutionary solution became certified for Ontario and marked its debut integration there and soon will go live with several brands in the market. SuperPot gives players the chance to predict the outcomes of major sporting fixtures.
Each ticket purchase contributes to a growing jackpot, and the winner is the one with the most correct picks – even without a perfect score. This “Must-Win” mechanic sets the product apart from traditional sportsbook offerings, appealing both to sports bettors seeking new thrills and casino players looking for an accessible entry point into sports wagering.
Advantages for UK Operators
SuperPot introduces an always-awarded must-win mechanic: each round’s pot is paid to the top predictor – players compete against their peers, and the most correct predictions win. This sets it apart from The Tote and free-to-play predictors and broadens appeal beyond horse racing into football, basketball, American football, and ice hockey. UK operators gain an assured strong turnover margin, while players benefit from a guaranteed payout to someone every round.
In addition, licensed operators in the UK, SuperPot represents a new way to grow engagement and extend player lifecycles, while securing stable margins from turnover without added exposure.

It’s designed to stand out in a mature and competitive market and ensure risk-free high margin for Operators.”
Market Outlook
The UK gambling market remains one of the largest and most established worldwide. According to the UK Gambling Commission, the total Gross Gambling Yield (GGY) in iGaming for April 2023–March 2024 reached £6.9 billion, with online Sports betting accounting to £2.4 billion GGY, driven primarily by football and horse racing.
The Tote pools enjoy durable racing liquidity is growing year by year to hundreds of millions and SuperPot gives operators that same mass-appeal mechanic as a paid, must-win product they control and extend it to additional sports and to new segments of players.
Industry research indicates that the UK sports betting market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 11.4% between 2025 and 2030. Meanwhile, quarterly reporting from the Gambling Commission shows continued growth: in Q1 2025, online GGY rose 7% year-on-year to £1.45 billion, with record levels of active accounts and betting activity.
In such a competitive environment, a product like SuperPot has the potential to deliver an incremental ~2% revenue boost for operators who adopt it, further differentiating their sportsbook offering in the UK’s crowded marketplace.

Dominic Le Garsmeur, Chief Product Officer at Fincore, says product roadmaps often stall, but they don’t need to. Not if operators and suppliers design for adaptability and build on the right foundations.
Why do product roadmaps usually stall?
Product roadmaps are full of ambition – and rightly so. They capture bold ideas and big strategic bets; they’re the blueprint for the future of the business. But even the best plans can stall before they deliver real impact.
There are plenty of reasons. From shifting regulations to legacy tech, overloaded teams, or unclear ownership. The most damaging is outdated technology. Technical debt eats up development capacity, forcing teams to spend their time firefighting stability instead of building the next feature.
Fragmented ownership is another killer. When product, tech, compliance and ops aren’t aligned, there’s no shared direction. Work keeps moving, but what ships isn’t aligned to real needs—busy output rather than product that drives results.
What impact does regulation have on product roadmaps?
Regulation can force teams to switch focus, diverting resources from innovation to compliance. When every sprint turns into a regulatory emergency, progress halts.
That said, regulation doesn’t have to kill innovation. If an organisation designs for adaptability — with modular systems and clean architecture — it can absorb regulatory change without derailing strategic goals.
If a product roadmap stalls, what should operators and suppliers do?
Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Create forward motion now. At Fincore, we see four core tactics that make the difference:
1. Start with outcomes. Work backwards from the results you need, then design the tech strategy and architecture to deliver them.
2. Modernise surgically. Target the real bottlenecks — technical or procedural — and fix what unlocks the most progress first. Our modular IP components can be integrated quickly to deliver visible gains.
3. Automate with intent. Introduce automation where it frees up people and accelerates throughput.
4. Partner for momentum. Choose a partner that embeds with your teams. Not as a consultant, but as part of your delivery engine. That’s how we operate at Fincore: hands-on, aligned, and built to move things forward without disruption.
How can organisations prevent their product roadmaps from stalling in the first place?
Prevention starts with intent. Build your roadmap around adaptability, not just speed.
That means aligning tech strategy with business goals and reviewing that alignment often. Design systems for interoperability and flexibility, not minimum viable survival. Prioritise foundations such as clean data, seamless integrations and real-time monitoring. Deliver in tight loops to stay responsive and realistic.
When you do that, momentum accelerates. Teams move faster, releases land cleaner, and regulatory shifts stop being roadblocks. They just get handled.
What are the benefits of a product roadmap firing on all cylinders?
Momentum changes everything.
New features, channels and jurisdictions go live faster, without the drag of platform instability. Teams feel energised, focused, and proud of what they’re shipping. Regulatory changes stop being crises. Innovation becomes continuous.
And with that rhythm comes confidence across departments, across leadership, across the entire organisation. Everyone can see and feel progress.
How does Fincore help operators achieve this?
We don’t just unstick roadmaps. We build systems that keep them moving.
That starts with stabilising architecture and clearing technical debt. Then we go deeper: modernising code, streamlining processes, and aligning culture around delivery. Our modular software toolkit accelerates progress without risk. Clean integrations, real-time data, and automation that scales.
We embed alongside internal teams, taking ownership of outcomes and shipping value fast. The result? Sustainable momentum.
Unlocking a roadmap isn’t just about fixing delivery. It’s about reigniting progress and keeping it burning. Clean builds. Confident teams. Continuous flow. That’s progress done right.
