New watchdog formed to protect punter’s interests
A new voluntary organisation has been formed with the aim of protecting members of the betting public from rogue tipsters. The UK Association of Sports Tipping has just launched after 2 well known reviewers joined forces to organise things.
Chris Sowerby and Peter Philipson together have conducted over 2000 service reviews and have wide experience of the range of tipsters that are available. They commented that “UKAST will for the first time allow punters to check if a service being promoted operates in an open and honest manner.”
UKAST’s aim is to offer independent verification and accountability for tipster services operating in the UK. It provides objective information to allow potential customers to make informed choices about tipster services, whilst at the same time providing genuine and authentic services with a recognisable accreditation that attests to their fairness, transparency and integrity.
All membership applications will be actively vetted and approved members will be entered on the public database. In addition a disputes resolution facility is available which certified members have agreed to comply with.
Approved members may display their registered details with a watermarked badge as shown.
The first commercial member is Bet Chat which publishes football services and general betting advice. Founder Josh Allen said “The sports tipping industry has been sorely in need of a verification body for many years now. Not only does the lack of one lead to consumers falling foul of scams and incompetent tipping, it also results in scepticism around genuine tipster platforms.
In Chris and Peter, UKAST is run by two people with exceptional experience in the world of proofing and reviewing and I see them as the ideal duo to head up this new venture. I didn’t need to think twice about submitting my platform to their verification service, and nor should anybody else!”
Other industry players have welcomed the formation of UKAST including Brian Chappell from Justice for Punters which fights for a ‘fair playing field’ for those who like a bet. He said, “J4P welcomes this new Association and the standards it is trying to achieve. We wish UKAST all the best.”
Soon the public should be asking any tipster or service that is not a UKAST member why that is.

Push Gaming reels off Fish ‘n’ Nudge Big Catch

B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming has returned to the deep blue with Fish ‘n’ Nudge Big Catch, a reimagined follow-up to one of its most beloved recent titles.
Building on the charm and success of the original Fish ‘n’ Nudge, Big Catch brings fresh energy to the series with a new take on free spins and added layers of excitement designed to engage both loyal fans and new players.
While retaining the iconic visuals and light-hearted theme that made Fish ‘n’ Nudge a standout, this release delves deeper beneath the surface to deliver more action and anticipation.
Among the new features are locking net symbols, which boost the chances of catching fish and can reel in extra free spins. The addition of individual reel multipliers, increased by the powerful boost symbol, creates the potential for significant wins, keeping each spin loaded with promise.
Crafted with Push Gaming’s signature focus on player-centric design, Fish ‘n’ Nudge Big Catch is a bold evolution of a proven favourite. It retains the approachable gameplay and visual charm of the original, while introducing dynamic mechanics that enhance engagement and replayability.
Jack Wood, Game Producer at Push Gaming, said: “With Fish ‘n’ Nudge Big Catch, we wanted to evolve a concept that players already love, while bringing something fresh to the experience. It’s all about building on what works, adding excitement through new mechanics, and keeping the gameplay feeling sharp and rewarding.
“This title exemplifies our approach to development by listening to players, refining proven features, and delivering content that’s both entertaining and effective for our partners.”
