Under the arrangement, National Lottery branding will feature across the sport’s premier men’s and women’s fixtures in England, while National Lottery players will have the chance to win a range of rugby league prizes such as tickets and VIP experiences.

The National Lottery will also serve as title partner for the England Women Rugby League Mid-Season International with Wales on 25 June.

Nigel Railton, chief executive of National Lottery operator Camelot, added: “Supporting sports has always been part of the mission of the National Lottery and this inventive partnership will undoubtedly make a difference. 

“The loss of spectators and cancellation of events has had such an impact, so I am proud that National Lottery players are able to support Rugby League after a difficult year.”

Almost the entire Women’s Rugby League 2020 season was lost to the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, meaning the majority of women and girls have not played rugby since autumn 2019.

“The growth of girls’ and women’s Rugby League at all levels has been wonderful, which made the impact of over a year of not playing so hard for the players, coaches, volunteers and clubs,” RFL chief executive Ralph Rimmer said.

“But we bounce back with this new commercial partnership and with the support of the National Lottery, and we look forward to kicking off our vibrant domestic competitions, followed by a mid-season International, and the excitement of a home World Cup this autumn.

Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston also welcomed the deal: “This announcement is great news for Women’s and Girls’ Rugby League. As we look ahead to the start of the 2021 professional season, this funding from the National Lottery will provide the sport with certainty as we work towards getting crowds back at matches as soon as possible.”

The National Lottery has lent its support to a number of organisations to help them through the pandemic, including striking commercial partnerships with Wheelchair Tennis, Rugby Union Sevens and non-league football across the four British nations.

In addition, more than £150m (€174/$207m) of National Lottery funding has been distributed to grassroots sports organisations across Britain to support recovery efforts.

Last week, National Lottery operator Camelot also announced a new partnership with Team GB, Great Britain’s Olympic team, and the ParalympicsGB squad.

The new role will see Levy (pictured) lead board as it oversees Genius’ operations and strategy ahead of a merger deal that will take it public.

Levy has accumulated substantial experience within the media and spots industries, having held senior roles at businesses including Turner Broadcasting, Raine Group and Arctos Sports Group.

Levy said: “The capture and analysis of data has become fundamental to the rapid progression of the sports and media sectors. Genius is central to this unique ecosystem and is consistently leading the sports data and technology industry’s development.”

“I am thrilled to join the business at such a historic time and look forward to working as part of the team.”

Genius chief executive Mark Locke added: “With his incredible track-record working with many of the biggest names in sports and media, David’s appointment as Chairman is the latest historic milestone in Genius Sports Group’s growth journey.

“The worlds of sports, media, advertising, betting and streaming are converging rapidly and David’s unique expertise and experience will be invaluable to positioning Genius and our partners at the forefront of this trend.”

Genius is set to go public through a merger with special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) dMY Technology Group. The new publicly traded business will have an enterprise value of $1.5bn (£1.15bn/€1.27bn) and will trade on the New York Stock Exchange.

This role will see González promoting the development of the Spanish market for the company by supporting projects Win Systems is implementing to advance both the systems and gaming divisions.

González previously held the position of product manager for the company’s Gaming Division.

This concludes Win Systems’ appointments of business directors in its four most important markets, the previous being in Mexico, the United States and Peru.

“Within the growth process for the company, it was essential to define a Business Unit Director for Spain.” said Eric Benchimol, chief executive of Win Systems.

“We are very happy that José Luis, who joined the Win Systems family in 2017, and who has more than 20 years of experience in the sector, has accepted this new challenge to achieve the objectives of the company at this decisive moment.”

In game, the Book of Babylon symbol is king, acting as both wild and scatter to trigger a free spins round with an expanding symbol feature.

The four-day event ran from 16-19 March and attracted almost 70 million bets, which the supplier described as a “record volume” with UK licensed operators running OpenSports. This included William Hill; Flutter Entertainment’s Betfair, Paddy Power and Sky Bet; and Entain brands Ladbrokes and Coral.

Punters wagered 34% more than in 2020, while the average stake for singles in all win and each way markets remained level at £7.50

Total account transactions across the four days were up 44%, while Scientific Games also noted that one of its operator partners processed a peak of over 34,000 bets per minute during the Festival.

Scientific Games said the primary reason for these year-on-year increased was due to the fact that all retail betting shops across the UK remain closed due to novel coronavirus (Covid-19) lockdown restrictions.

In addition, spectators were not permitted to attend the event as a result of Covid-19 measures, and as such bookmakers could not take on-site bets, with punters limited to online betting only.

“This year’s Festival saw betting behaviour evolve and more players than ever before embrace the online space,” Scientific Games Digital senior vice president for sportsbook, Keith O’Loughlin, said.

“The average stake levels indicate the recreational and entertainment value of this racing event and we’re proud of the role OpenSports has played during the Festival in offering such a wide audience a truly entertaining experience.”
