New “3 Point Challenge” Basketball Game Set to Debut April 7 on GameLoop TV Across 37 NEXTGEN Markets, Bringing Real-Time Mobile Gameplay to Immersive Broadcast Television

MESA, Ariz., April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Aquimo Inc., a leader in mobile gaming technology for sports broadcasts and live events, and GameLoop, the first 24/7 “Watch and Play” gaming channel on NEXTGEN TV have launched a strategic partnership to bring Aquimo’s Tilt Games (Tilt Games) – a new category of interactive games – to the GameLoop channel. Powered by Aquimo’s proprietary multiplayer mobile gaming platform, “Tilt Games” provide GameLoop fans with a brand-new interactive gaming experience that brings real-time, mobile-driven play to live television. This first-of-its-kind partnership represents a breakthrough in how fans engage with broadcast content and marks the beginning of a broader rollout of Aquimo-powered Tilt Games across the GameLoop channel.

To kick off the partnership, “3 Point Challenge” — the first fast-paced, basketball-themed Tilt Game custom developed by Aquimo for GameLoop — will officially debut on April 7 across 37 NEXTGEN TV markets, with additional markets coming soon. The launch coincides with the 2025 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show, where attendees can demo the game first-hand through Wednesday, April 9, at the ATSC Pavilion (West Hall, Booth 3056) at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

This innovative partnership merges Aquimo’s patent-protected mobile gaming technology with GameLoop’s interactive “Watch and Play” broadcast format, enabling fans to join the action in real time. With “3 Point Challenge,” viewers simply tune into GameLoop, follow on-screen prompts from the channel’s live hosts, and scan a QR code with their phone to instantly join the game—no app download, subscription, or extra hardware required. Using their phones, fans can tilt their wrist to shoot virtual hoops, compete against other players nationwide, enter weekly tournaments, win prizes and more — all while watching the action unfold on their TV screen.

“Our mission at GameLoop is to unlock the true potential of smart TVs for gaming, and our partnership with Aquimo takes that to a whole new level,” said Chip Clofine, Chief Product Officer of GameLoop. “With ‘Aquimo Tilt Games,’ viewers have a whole new way of controlling gameplay that is fast, intuitive and engaging – all using Aquimo’s sophisticated motion tracking capabilities in viewers’ existing mobile devices. That’s a game changer for the player experience.”

With the addition of Tilt Games, GameLoop unlocks a powerful new opportunity to transform traditional TV viewing into a fully interactive, dynamic two-screen experience. With average session times exceeding 25 minutes, Aquimo’s platform delivers up to 20-30 sec ad impressions per user session across mobile — more than 20 times the exposure of a typical 30-second TV spot. This creates a highly valuable opportunity for brands seeking deeper engagement and measurable ROI. Moreover, Aquimo’s platform supports a wide range of sponsor-driven features — including digital coupons, real-time rewards, branded challenges, and immersive in-game integrations — all designed to drive conversion, boost brand lift, and deliver measurable ROI. With this new offering, GameLoop is uniquely positioned to expand its sponsorship model and deliver greater value to advertisers.

“Tilt Games were designed to make fan participation instant, intuitive, and impactful,” Mark Jeffery, founder and CEO of Aquimo. “With GameLoop, we’re scaling that experience to living rooms nationwide — giving viewers more ways to play, partners more ways to engage, and broadcasters a new way to capture attention in a crowded content landscape.”

All Tilt Games on GameLoop TV are free to play and ad supported. More Aquimo titles — including additional sports, trivia, and casual game formats — are currently in development and expected to roll out later this year.

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers. Businesses move more than $9 billion a year on licenses Sokin holds in 36+ countries and infrastructure Sokin owns. Founded in 2019, Sokin has raised over $100 million from investors including Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital and Prysm Capital.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021. In two seasons, 2020/21 and 2024/25, a domestic treble of trophies was secured.

The Chelsea Foundation boasts one of the most extensive community initiatives in sport, helping to improve the lives of children and young people all over the world.
