A Platinum Partner For a Purposeful Journey
When Simon Pilkington and I set out to run six ultramarathons in six days for the Oliver’s Wish Foundation, we knew it would take more than just training and determination. We were taking on over 180 miles across six days - physically, it was a big ask. But to bring the challenge to life, we also needed the backing of people who believed in what we were doing. As professionals in the iGaming industry, it was especially important to us to find partners from within the community who could get behind the cause.
That’s why I was delighted when the team at Bottled stepped forward as our platinum sponsor.
I founded Oliver’s Wish to raise money for four charities doing vital work with children and young people:
SUDC UK, The Lullaby Trust, Chestnut Tree House, and Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Our 6-in-6 challenge set out to raise £20,000 for Oliver’s Wish and the charities it supports - spoiler alert we smashed that target, raising over £52,000! However, it was the support we received from Bour sponsors in particular our platinum sponsor Bottled, who have helped make this challenge possible - not just in terms of funding, but also in helping us raise awareness, grow momentum, and stay motivated when the miles got tough.

Why they made the perfect sponsor
Bottled may be new on the scene, but they’re exactly the kind of company I was hoping would get involved - smart, ambitious, and already showing they understand how to make an impact in our space.
Their support helped us raise funds, of course, but it also helped build a sense of community around the challenge. For me, that’s what made this sponsorship special - it wasn’t just a logo on a t-shirt; it was real backing from people who cared about what we were doing and wanted to see us succeed.
I’m incredibly grateful to the Bottled team for stepping up and I’m excited to see where they go next.
