Novibet Extends Stats Perform Partnership, Launches Dedicated Opta Stats Section and Opta Points
Customers of innovative betting operator Novibet will be the first to experience a new level of immersive football betting entertainment this summer, as the sportsbook launches a range of user experiences, all powered by Stats Perform’s trusted Opta data and OptaAI.
The new experiences include:
- A highly prominent “Opta Stats” section on the Novibet website and app, featuring advanced metrics designed to help bettors cut through noise to make quick decisions, like OptaAI-powered expected goals and expected assists;
- Multiple creative new “Opta Points” betting markets within and across matches, to generate higher levels of interest in player performances, for all players;
- Deep, colourful team and player pages packed with statistics and form, to complement Novibet’s already comprehensive range of Opta-powered player stats markets; and
- Quick Opta stats contextually integrated across the Novibet platform, including alongside interactive betting opportunities.
The innovative Opta-powered features are a result of Novibet’s long-term partnership with Stats Perform and are to be rolled out across Novibet’s territories in Europe and South America. They are expected to result in greater bettor education, increased time-on-site and increased share of wallet.
Giannis Paraschos, Novibet Head of Sportsbook Product, said: “We’re delighted to extend our deep relationship with Stats Perform and use its Opta brand prominently to increase our users’ trust in our product. Our team is also really proud of the way we’ve built Opta Points into our front-end UI and back-end pricing. The Euros and Copa América are the ideal competitions to use Opta Points to help our users follow their favourite club players as they represent their countries and find new heroes. We think it’ll make more of the games and more of the players matter to our bettors and be an enormously popular way for them to immerse themselves in the tournaments.”
“We’re very pleased that Novibet see the value of our trusted Opta brand, and the potential of Opta xGoals, Opta xAssists and our new Opta Points metric. It’s a privilege to partner with clients like Novibet who share our aspiration to make sports betting more entertaining, and fascinating to see the magic they’ve built with our Opta data feeds,” Andrew Ashenden, Chief Betting Officer at Stats Perform, said.
The new Opta experiences are set to launch in time for the 2024 Euros and Copa América and subsequently across major global football leagues.
Stats Perform’s detailed, real-time sports data, OptaAI and Opta brand is at the heart of modern, trusted sports media and betting experiences across the world’s best sports broadcasters, publishers, teams, federations, apps and sportsbooks. Among its multiple awards in recent years include SBC’s Best Sports Data Product in 2022 and 2023.

Dream Play continues to grow its lineup with Hyper Gems, a space-themed slot designed around speed, rising tension, and escalating multipliers.
Set within a deep cosmic environment of glowing nebulae and radiant crystal symbols, the game delivers a sharp, modern visual style. The bottom control panel reflects Dream Play’s signature polish — a centered spin button, sleek metallic controls, and a clean layout that keeps attention firmly on momentum and gameplay.
Fast Base Game, Reactive Multiplier
The base game moves at a rapid pace thanks to avalanche mechanics, where winning symbols disappear and new ones fall into place seamlessly.
Multipliers in the base game apply on a per-spin basis.
If a multiplier lands and connects with a win during that same spin, the payout is instantly boosted. Miss the connection, and it resets — keeping each spin dynamic and unpredictable.
The experience feels fast, immediate, and full of energy.
Bonus Game — Where the Adrenaline Builds
The pace shifts dramatically in the Bonus Game.
Once triggered — or activated through the Buy Bonus option — the atmosphere intensifies. The background changes, colors grow bolder, and symbol connections trigger subtle grid shake effects that add impact to every win.
The biggest change comes with the multiplier behavior.
In the bonus round, the multiplier no longer resets. Instead, it accumulates with every spin, even when no win lands. Tension builds as the value climbs spin after spin, until a winning cascade finally connects and the entire payout is multiplied by the full accumulated total.
Several quiet spins can stack significant potential, only for one sudden cascade to unleash it all at once. This is where Hyper Gems delivers its core rush.
Pop-Ups, Sound & Visual Identity
Hyper Gems features distinct Big Win, Epic Win, and Mega Win pop-ups, each with unique animations and visual styling. Transitions are smooth, modern, and fast, designed to maintain momentum rather than disrupt it.
Every win feels lively and visually rewarding.
The soundtrack reinforces the pace with a driving, space-inspired rhythm that rises alongside multiplier growth and intensifies during cascades.
Combined with strong visual effects and subtle grid movement in the bonus round, Hyper Gems delivers a cohesive, high-energy experience.
With its avalanche gameplay, accumulating bonus multiplier, and maximum win potential of x1000, Hyper Gems stands out as a release focused on escalation, tension, and momentum.

Dream Play expands its portfolio with Hyper Gems, a space-themed slot built around speed, tension, and multiplier escalation.
Set against a deep cosmic backdrop filled with glowing nebulae and vibrant crystal symbols, the game delivers a sharp, modern presentation.
The bottom control panel follows Dream Play’s polished design approach — centered spin button, smooth metallic controls, clean layout — keeping the focus entirely on action and momentum.
Fast Base Game, Reactive Multiplier
The base game moves quickly thanks to avalanche mechanics — winning symbols disappear and new ones cascade into place without breaking the flow.
Here, the multiplier works per spin.
If it lands and a winning combination connects in that same spin, the payout is instantly amplified. If not, it resets — keeping the gameplay reactive and dynamic.
It’s fast. Immediate. Energetic.
Bonus Game — Where Adrenaline Builds
The real shift happens in the Bonus Game.
Once triggered — or accessed via Buy Bonus — the atmosphere intensifies. The background changes, colors become more aggressive, and during symbol connections the grid adds a subtle shake effect, reinforcing the impact of every hit.
Most importantly, the multiplier no longer resets.
Instead, it accumulates with every spin — even if no win lands. The tension builds. Spin after spin, the number grows. And when a winning combination finally connects, the entire payout is multiplied by the full accumulated value.
Several spins can quietly stack the multiplier — and then one cascade suddenly lands, amplifying the entire win in a single surge.
That is where Hyper Gems delivers its core adrenaline.
Pop-Ups, Sound & Visual Identity
Hyper Gems features distinct Big, Epic and Mega Win pop-ups, each with its own animation style and visual identity. The transitions are dynamic, modern, and fast — designed to enhance momentum rather than interrupt it.
Every win feels energetic and visually impactful.
The soundtrack supports the pace with a driving, space-inspired rhythm, rising alongside multiplier growth and intensifying during cascades.
Together with the visual effects and subtle grid shake in the bonus round, the game creates a cohesive, high-energy presentation.
With its avalanche engine, accumulating bonus multiplier and max win potential of x1000, Hyper Gems stands out as a release built around escalation and momentum.
