Play Against a Global Football Icon in BGaming’s Penalty Duel with Júlio César

Rapidly expanding content provider collaborates with a Brazilian legend ahead of a summer of football

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming challenges players to take on Brazilian goalkeeping legend Júlio César in their latest #Casual title, Penalty Duel with Júlio César.

The game follows the official announcement of the partnership between BGaming and Júlio César at SiGMA South America in April, where César generated significant buzz with an in-person appearance.

The keeper’s popularity across the LatAm market made him the perfect choice for the collaboration, with the game likely to resonate strongly with Latin American football fans, a key demographic for BGaming.

The release is also timed perfectly to coincide with the kick-off of the summer’s major soccer international tournament, which takes place throughout June and July.

In Penalty Duel with Júlio César, players take a first-person perspective as the kicker, attempting to score past the legendary former Brazilian number one to secure multipliers. The ex-Inter Milan and QPR shotstopper has been faithfully recreated, resulting in a fully immersive experience for players.

The mechanics have also been carefully designed for football fans and casual gamers. Its low to medium volatility, quick sessions, and mobile-friendly play make it perfect for players looking to keep up the football action during half-time or between matches. All of this is complemented by a maximum win of ×4,860 and a generous 96.14% RTP.

Like a real penalty shootout, there is a sense of anticipation in every kick, with the possibility of the Golden Ball feature when Buy Chance is activated. When this triggers, the ball turns golden, multiplying any winnings by five. The Buy Bonus feature, worth ×100 the player’s stake, instantly triggers a series of five automatic strikes with accumulative multipliers.

Football fans who pay close attention to the game might also uncover a series of Easter eggs. These are secret animations that can be triggered by in-game events, keeping curious players active and providing additional content for streamers and creators.

Vasili Pauliuchenko, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “Júlio is an extremely popular figure in Latin America and is a respected figure among football fans worldwide. He has been a pleasure to work with on this game, and we believe it really captures the spirit and excitement of a real-life penalty shootout.

Football is going to be the center of attention this summer, and this star-led game is the perfect addition for those looking for some casual gaming fun to go alongside it.”

BETER, the award-winning provider of live streams, live data, and odds for esports and sports, has further strengthened its US presence after its exclusive Setka Cup table tennis and ESportsBattle content was added to the Sports Wagering catalog and licensed in the State of Kentucky.

The approval and license were granted by the Kentucky Horse Racing and Gaming (KHRG), the independent municipal corporation and political subdivision of the Commonwealth responsible for regulating horse racing, pari-mutuel wagering, sports wagering, breed integrity and development, and charitable gaming in the state.

Kentucky is the ninth US state where BETER’s exclusive content is now available, joining Florida, New Jersey, Colorado, Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, North Carolina, and Illinois.

The approval allows BETER to supply operators in Kentucky with live data and live streams from both its Setka Cup table tennis and ESportsBattle tournaments for the first time.

All content is already live for local bettors via bet365, BETER’s long-standing operator partner, reinforcing the demand for fast-paced betting content from operators in the space.

BETER exclusively delivers 24/7 live streaming, real-time data, and hyper-accurate odds for more than 700,000 fast-paced esports and sports events annually to operators worldwide. The company offers up to 50 markets per event and helps operators achieve an average margin of 7.5%+. Its esports portfolio includes ESportsBattle, featuring eFootball, eBasketball, eHockey, and eTennis, while its sports portfolio includes Setka Cup table tennis and the BSKT Cup basketball league.

All of BETER’s exclusive content is underpinned by its Integrity team, ensuring strict adherence to fair play standards through 24/7 monitoring and close collaboration with key sports integrity bodies, including IBIA and ESIC, as well as sports federations.

Chuck Robinson, CRO at BETER, said:Kentucky is a state with a deep sporting heritage, and we’re excited to bring our exclusive Setka Cup and ESportsBattle content to operators and bettors there. Reaching nine US states is an important milestone that reflects the growing appetite for fast-betting content across the country.

“The US market is evolving rapidly, and players are increasingly seeking round-the-clock, high-quality betting experiences. BETER is built to meet that demand, and each new state we enter strengthens our position as the go-to provider of fast-betting content worldwide.”

Valeriia Tarchynska, Chief Legal Officer at BETER, added: “Receiving both approval and license is the result of sustained and meticulous regulatory and compliance work by our team. The US licensing landscape is uniquely complex, with each state operating under its own distinct framework, and we take great pride in meeting those requirements wherever we operate.

“With nine states now approved, the US continues to be a cornerstone of BETER’s global strategy. We are actively pursuing approvals in additional key states and remain fully committed to expanding our footprint across the country and beyond.”
