BETER adds Ping Pong Point to sports offering
BETER, the leading provider of next-generation betting products and data, has added Ping Pong Point to its growing roster of live tournaments. Ping pong is slightly different to table tennis in the players use hard bats.
The tournaments take place twice a day, with 20+ daily matches in total across two tournaments. This means more than 700 matches each month for bettors to watch and wager on.
Ping Pong Point is organized in partnership with the Ukrainian Ping Pong Federation with BETER providing live streaming, data and odds to its operator partners and their customers.
These tournaments see some of the most experienced and skilled ping pong players go head-to-head, leading to truly spectacular action with every match.
This builds on BETER’ position as the leading provider of live table tennis tournaments, including its in-house Setka Cup events alongside National Table Tennis tournaments covering India, Colombia, Serbia and more to be added soon. The last are offered through partnerships with national federations.
BETER has also recently launched basketball league BSKT Cup with more than 60 matches scheduled each month.
“BETER Sports is committed to becoming the number one provider of live streaming, data and odds for fast-paced sports events. Ping pong is a hugely popular sport with fans and bettors around the world and that’s why we have added it to our portfolio.
Ping Pong Point allows our operator partners to offer even more betting action to their bettors across fast-paced sports that deliver plenty of thrills and spills. This has only been possible due to our unrivalled experience in the sport of table tennis, with partnerships in place with some of the biggest federations in the world,” commented BETER.
“We are delighted to witness the growing global interest in ping pong as a competitive sport. This year, our athletes have made significant strides in their professional development, showcasing a new level of play. As a result, we have successfully qualified for the Classic Hardbat World Championship. With the support of a dependable partner like BETER, we are confident that we can represent our country at the championship in a high-quality manner and further boost the engagement of sports fans for this game,” commented the Ukrainian Ping Pong Federation.
