How does BtoBet approach a major international tournament differently from the regular season?
At BtoBet, we tend to elevate user engagement during major tournaments like the football European Championship by offering our operators a wide range of specialised features and enhancements that go beyond our regular offering. We proactively aim to create a high number of special betting options, particularly outrights, based on both our own initiative and operator requests. For example, we might offer bets on whether there will be a bicycle kick in the tournament or how many matches will go to overtime. To increase competitiveness and provide the best possible odds, we also strive to offer additional boosted odds features, ensuring our operators can offer highly attractive and differentiated betting opportunities.
Through our extensive bonuses and free bet engines, we can provide a wide variety of bonus options such as accumulator bonuses and cashback on more events and markets. Additionally, our jackpot feature is designed to boost player excitement and deliver extra rewards, thus opening the possibility for operators to gain a potential advantage over their competitors.
We have also introduced in our portfolio early settlement options, allowing players to settle bets before the event has concluded. We believe this adds a strategic element to betting and increases player excitement and satisfaction by offering more winning opportunities.
What opportunities does the upcoming European Championship offer for sportsbook software providers?
The European Championship presents a prime opportunity for sportsbook providers to showcase their scale and flexible capabilities and stand out in a competitive market.
Providers can fully utilise features that may not be as prominent during the regular season, including many special betting options and advanced tools that add excitement and engagement, which are particularly appealing during high-profile events, and the goal is to generate significant revenue streams.
Providers additionally have the chance to prove the robustness of their risk management and liability handling. Managing high-load events effectively, where the ability to spread exposure is limited, showcases a provider’s reliability and stability under pressure.
