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.
First release is Avinho R10, followed by June launch Fortune Ronaldinho as the studio lines up more titles ahead of the World Cup season.
Pascal Gaming has partnered with Brazilian football player Ronaldinho to launch a dedicated portfolio of games inspired by the athlete, the company said on 26 May, 2026.
The planned pipeline includes crash games, slots and additional titles set to roll out through the year. Pascal Gaming said the initiative is aimed at both Brazil and international markets, and will be supported by tournaments, promotional activity and special events tied to the Ronaldinho-branded portfolio.
The first game confirmed is Avinho R10, described as a crash-style title featuring Ronaldinho “above Brazil” in an aviation-themed experience. A second game, Fortune Ronaldinho, is scheduled for release in June and is positioned as a slot-inspired title.
“Ronaldinho is one of the most recognisable and loved football personalities in the world, so for us this collaboration is much more than a game launch. It is a global entertainment project that combines football culture, emotionally engaging gameplay and strong promotional activities ahead of the World Cup,” said Armen Mnaskanian, Head of Sales at SoftConstruct Gaming Content.
Pascal Gaming said it has been expanding its crash game portfolio during 2026 and investing in localised, character-driven content across Latin America, Africa and Asia. The company added that more Ronaldinho-themed titles and marketing campaigns will be revealed in the coming months.

The JUSTIN2026 campaign was shot in Denver and rolls out over four weeks ahead of the 14 June event at the White House.
Duelbits has launched a branded content campaign with UFC interim Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje, timed to UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Saturday 14th June.
The campaign, branded JUSTIN2026, was shot on location in Denver, Colorado by UK-based creative agency YRDS. Duelbits said the content is designed as a “premium, cinematic series” and will roll out in phases over the next four weeks, peaking on event day.
According to the company, the campaign was planned before UFC Freedom was officially confirmed. Duelbits framed the early commitment as part of a strategy to move faster than traditional sportsbooks around major cultural moments.
“We didn’t want to create another sportsbook promo,” said Jasper Hoekert, Chief Marketing Officer at Duelbits. “We wanted to create something that combat sports fans want to watch, content built around Justin’s authenticity and intensity, not just his fight record. We were planning this before the White House event was even officially confirmed. When you believe in the magnitude of a moment, you don’t wait for permission to act on it.”
“Duelbits came to me with a vision, not just a brief,” said Gaethje. “They wanted to create something that reflected the reality of what I do and who I am, with no smoke and mirrors. When a brand shows up with that kind of conviction and creative ambition, you back it. This campaign is going to be something people remember.”

Belgium stop at Circus Casino Resort Namur runs May 27–June 7 and adds PokerStars Live League points toward a €157,500 credit pool.
PokerStars will bring PokerStars Open Namur back to Circus Casino Resort Namur from May 27 to June 7, with the festival returning one day after the operator’s May 26 announcement.
The stop follows a 2025 edition PokerStars said was record-breaking for Belgium, including 1,571 entries in the Main Event and what it called the largest live tournament prize pool in Belgian poker history.
This year’s schedule is headlined by the €1,100 PokerStars Open Main Event, which carries a €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Other listed highlights include the €400 PokerStars Open Cup (May 27-31), €3,300 Super High Roller (June 1-2), €2,200 High Roller (June 5-6), and €800 Mystery Bounty (June 6-7).
“Last year’s turnout reinforced Namur’s place as one of the most exciting live poker stops in Europe,” said Cedric Billot, Associate Director of Live Events Operations at PokerStars. “What makes the event special isn’t just the size of the fields, it’s the atmosphere around the entire festival.”
PokerStars also positioned Namur as a scoring stop in the PokerStars Live League, which awards points across High, Medium and Low leaderboard tiers. PokerStars said players are competing for a share of €157,500 in PokerStars LIVE event credit, with the top 30 players in each tier qualifying for a €100,000 freeroll at the first European Poker Tour festival of 2027.
