LOW6 and Bettortainment Announce Strategic Partnership to Enhance Live Sports Betting Engagement Ahead of the 2026 World Cup
LOW6 and Bettortainment Forge Strategic Partnership to Elevate Live Sports Betting Engagement for the 2026 World Cup
LOW6, the award-winning global sports gamification provider, and Bettortainment, a cutting-edge live betting engagement platform, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at revolutionizing in-play betting experiences for operators, affiliates, and media publishers ahead of ICE Barcelona 2026.
The collaboration combines Bettortainment’s expert-led watchalong live content with LOW6’s gamification suite—including fantasy, pick’em, trivia, and bracket-style games—to deliver a seamless, interactive in-play betting ecosystem. By integrating these tools directly into broadcasts, sportsbooks can retain audience attention and drive engagement throughout live sporting events, including the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.
In-Play Gamification Designed to Retain Audiences
As live betting volumes surge globally, many operators face challenges keeping users active once matches kick off. The LOW6-Bettortainment solution addresses this by embedding real-time gamification tools—such as leaderboards, predictions, and trivia—directly into live streams.
The partnership focuses on creating fit-for-purpose content and interactive games that foster community-driven engagement. By delivering dynamic, social in-play experiences, operators can encourage sustained interaction and bring quality bettors back to their platforms.
“Live sport is where attention is most valuable, but it’s also where many platforms lose it,” said Jonathan Baxandall, Commercial Director at Bettortainment. “Partnering with LOW6 allows us to deliver a more engaging, social in-play experience that keeps users on-platform. Sportsbooks that fail to entertain in real-time risk falling behind.”
Built for Scale and Global Reach
The integrated solution is designed for rapid deployment and scalability, making it suitable for Tier-1 global operators as well as emerging regional sportsbooks. Initially available in English, the platform also supports localization for diverse markets, ensuring broad accessibility during the World Cup cycle.
Jamie Mitchell, CEO of LOW6, added: “This partnership merges live content with proven gamification to transform live sports moments into deeper engagement—without adding complexity. With experience embedding gamification into platforms like AFTV and United Stand, we know the impact of turning viewership into actionable insights.”
Operators and partners can explore the LOW6-Bettortainment solution ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. For more information, visit low6.com.

GGBET UA has officially signed a title sponsorship agreement with the Basketball Federation of Ukraine (FBU), marking a significant step in the development and promotion of Ukrainian basketball. The strategic partnership is designed to increase the sport’s visibility, expand fan engagement, and deliver innovative digital content to audiences across the country.
Under the agreement, GGBET UA and the FBU will collaborate on content creation, communication initiatives, and interactive fan experiences, ensuring that basketball continues to thrive as one of Ukraine’s most popular and dynamic sports. The partnership will focus on strengthening media presence, enhancing storytelling around teams and players, and introducing creative digital formats tailored to modern sports fans.
Basketball has long held a strong position in Ukraine’s sporting culture. Through this collaboration, both organizations plan to launch special projects, online campaigns, and fan-focused activations that bring supporters closer to national teams and domestic competitions. By leveraging digital platforms and social media, the partners aim to deliver compelling, behind-the-scenes content and immersive experiences that resonate with both existing fans and new audiences.
Sergii Mishchenko, CEO of GGBET UA, emphasized that the partnership reflects the company’s long-term commitment to Ukrainian sports. He noted that basketball’s fast-paced and high-energy nature makes it ideal for innovative communication strategies and integrated promotional efforts. According to Mishchenko, working closely with the FBU and national teams will allow GGBET UA to create engaging content that captures media attention while contributing to the broader popularization of basketball in Ukraine.
From the Federation’s perspective, the agreement represents an opportunity to expand communication channels and reinforce support for athletes and teams. Mykhailo Brodsky, President of the Basketball Federation of Ukraine, highlighted the importance of maintaining visibility for Ukrainian sports, particularly during challenging times. He stated that the title partnership with GGBET UA enables the launch of impactful joint initiatives that can bring renewed energy and attention to basketball nationwide.
The basketball partnership builds on GGBET UA’s rapid expansion within Ukrainian sports throughout 2025. The bookmaker has already secured a three-year partnership with FC Dynamo Kyiv, sponsored FC Polissya Zhytomyr, and acted as an official partner for the globally recognized Usyk vs. Dubois II boxing match. With strong footholds in football and boxing, basketball now represents the next strategic phase in GGBET UA’s multi-sport growth strategy.
Fans can expect the first announcements of joint projects and new content formats to appear soon across the official social media channels of GGBET UA and the Basketball Federation of Ukraine, signaling the start of an ambitious collaboration aimed at elevating Ukrainian basketball to new heights.
