Overview

One platform, adapted to a giant

Scout Gaming ran a single white-label fantasy platform behind many operator brands. Bet365 was the largest of them. As Scout's sole designer, I led the Bet365 implementation, from the first approved build in 2022 through several years of assets, features, and support.

Challenge

A very high bar, inside their system

Adapting the platform to a brand of that scale meant meeting a high bar for visual consistency and product quality, while working inside Bet365's established design guidelines and processes.

It had to feel native to Bet365, on top of one shared codebase serving every other client.

My role

The white-label process, run end to end

As the single designer on the platform, my process with Bet365 followed the same shape I used with every white-label client.

The white-label build

It starts with their brand

Every implementation begins by translating a client's brand into the platform. I took Bet365's own colour language and rebuilt it as a token system that could drive the whole product, without touching the shared structure underneath.

Directing the asset kit

As the platform's main client, Bet365 drove a large bespoke asset kit, and I led it as design lead. The sport pitches were produced by our freelance illustrator under my art direction, and the kits and league artwork round out a set tuned to their product, grouped here by sport.

Reimagined with AI

Fantasy, faster

More recently I rebuilt how I design across our products, from FanTeam to the white-label brands: an AI-assisted process on top of a modular design system. Weeks of design work, where it used to take a quarter. The result is a cleaner, mobile-first product, plus features the old flow could not easily deliver.

Three shifts behind the new pace

01 · Process
AI-assisted from day one
From idea to working prototype in hours, not sprints. Direction becomes interface at the speed of conversation.
02 · System
One foundation, every brand
A modular design system built to flex. FanTeam today, Bet365 tomorrow, anything next, without rebuilds.
03 · Output
Prototypes, not just specs
Working artifacts from day one, so ideas can be tested and validated before committing engineering time.

Two brands, one foundation

The same design system and the same components, expressed as two very different brands. The screen is identical in structure.

A new way to design

Design system as foundation. AI as accelerator. Iteration at the speed of conversation. Only the top layer changes per brand.

New ideas, faster than ever

When prototyping takes hours, you stop guessing and start exploring. Four directions I took further, each shown as a working screen, not a description.

Smarter filters
01 · Smarter filters
Find the right contest in seconds
The problem
Sport and league are not enough. Users want to filter by what actually drives their choice.
The idea
Filter by start time, buy-in, format, and prize pool.
Tournament discovery, redesigned lobby
02 · Tournament discovery
Discovery that doesn't get skipped
The problem
Tournament discovery is flat, so users scroll past contests they would love.
The idea
A preview-driven lobby that surfaces contests at a glance.
Native banner system
03 · Native banner system
Promote at product speed
The problem
Promoting tournaments and offers depends on external creative cycles.
The idea
In-product pop-ups and promotion blocks, so campaigns launch alongside the product.
Refined craft
04 · Refined craft
Polish where it matters most
The problem
Signature components, the pitch and the player cards, define how fantasy feels.
The idea
A layer of polish across the screens that matter most. Same components, sharper execution.
Reflection

What I took from it

White-label work is systems work. Serving a client the size of Bet365 off one shared platform meant every decision had to hold up across brands, not just this one. That discipline, plus the collaboration with a demanding in-house team, is some of the most senior work I have done. The AI-assisted rebuild then showed me how much faster that same craft can now move.

The same platform thinking runs through my wider white-label work and into the mobile-first redesign I lead on FanTeam today.
