Playtech BGT Sports agrees strategic SportsTraders partnership

Groundbreaking product designed to boost operator revenue
Playtech BGT Sportsa (PBS) and SportsTraders (ST) have announced a strategic partnership to distribute SportsTraders’ groundbreaking new betting product, TeamBets.
SportTraders is an Israeli B2B technology company developing new sports betting technologies and products. The cornerstone product which has been developed together by ST and PBS is branded ‘TeamBets’, and has been launched via PBS’ proprietary platform.
TeamBets is a new betting offering involving betting and trading on market trends rather than on single events.
The unique features of this new product are:
- TeamBets allow you to bet on a team’s sports performance vs. market expectations throughout the season.
- TeamBets are presented in the form of a real-time seasonal graph for each team, much like an index or a stock, that helps users track trends and make calculated decisions for buying and selling TeamBets.
- A fixed return table is published at the beginning of each season for every team, with the end of season return prices calculated for each of the Team’s potential finishing places in the league at the end of the season – versus the prevailing market expectation.
- The real-time price of a TeamBet is set by a proprietary pricing engine, based on high quality market data and a unique ST algorithm, calculating the team’s performance vs. market expectations, and updates the price accordingly.
- If a team outperforms, the value of the TeamBet increases and if they underperform it decreases, similar to a financial share on the stock market.
- The price of a TeamBet is fully transparent and automated.
- TeamBets are fully tradeable throughout the season.
- Unlike traditional betting and very much like an investment portfolio, users’ portfolio total value will go up or down based on their TeamBets’ performance.
PBS and SportsTraders have launched TeamBet on its HPY operation in Austria & Germany under the name HPY Trade. In the near future, the SportsTraders platform and its key products will be offered to all PBS clients worldwide.
TeamBets currently offers 5 major soccer leagues (English, German, Spanish, Italian and Austrian) and will offer TeamBets for UEFA Euro 2020 teams. More soccer leagues are currently being developed for the 2020-2021 season.
Future developments will include additional sports as well as additional exciting features including betting against team performance, setting personalised risk / reward levels, and many more. In addition, users can place Pre-Match and In-Play bets using the SportsTraders platform.
Armin Sageder, CEO of PBS added: “We are very excited about the launch of TeamBets with SportsTraders. This is an incredible innovative product that will add a significant USP to the PBS digital offering.
“New client acquisition tools especially for the FAN community are increasingly important going forward – and TeamBets is a major step into this new future. A great partnership and cooperation between both companies has made this new product a reality; that I am sure will add a new dimension to the way sports betting is being conducted from now on.”
Hemi Algranaty, CEO of SportsTraders: “The strong partnership we have with a global leader such as PBS gives us a huge boost and allows us to focus on developing our sports trading product suite. More soccer leagues, competitions and tournaments, other sports types and sports assets to trade on, as well as new, unique sports trading features are all part of our exciting pipeline.
“With the support of PBS, the SportsTraders product suite can become a major new product vertical for the global sportsbetting world, and we’re delighted to be working with them.”
PBS and SportsTraders will also offer a trading on UEFA Euro 2020 product that will enable betting on the 24 national teams taking part in this competition using its platform.

LiveScore unveils industry-first four-day work week trial for London staff

- LiveScore Group has launched a four-day work week trial for London-based employees
- Model prioritises wellbeing and in-person collaboration, as LiveScore Group continues to lead industry innovation, balancing performance with people-first culture
- The trial will be reviewed by key business stakeholders in October
LiveScore Group, comprising LiveScore, LiveScore Bet, and Virgin Bet, has long been at the forefront of innovation across the sports media and sports betting industries. With over 25 years of experience and a unique convergence model that delivers a seamless ecosystem for sports fans, remaining committed to evolving in line with both user expectations and employee needs.
As part of that ongoing evolution, the global sports media brand is now taking a bold step to support the people behind its success. Starting on the 19th May 2025, LiveScore Group began a trial of a four-day work week for its London-based employees.
The move is designed to reflect the evolving nature of work, offering a better balance between professional and personal life, while continuing to nurture the energy, creativity, and collaboration that come from working together in person.
Under the new model, employees will work from the office Monday through Thursday, with Fridays becoming a non-working day for most of the team. A small number of Fridays will remain working days to support key sporting events or major business moments. These exceptions ensure that LiveScore Group continues to deliver the high-performance standards and real-time coverage its users expect while giving employees the benefit of a regular three-day weekend, most weeks.
The trial will run for 12 months, with a formal review of its impact scheduled for October 2025, informed by feedback from across the business.
At its core, LiveScore Group is about people: fans, teams, and employees alike. As LiveScore Group continues to fuel fans’ passion for sport, it’s equally focused on creating an environment where its people can thrive.
Sam Sadi, CEO of LiveScore Group said: “LiveScore Group was built on innovation. Not just in how we serve sports fans, but in how we grow and evolve as a business. As pioneers in convergence, we understand the power of creating ecosystems that work better together and that includes how we work as a team.
“This four-day work week trial is a natural step in our journey, building a future-fit business that can continue to lead, adapt, and perform at the highest level. We’re proud to be taking this step forward as we continue to grow and lead from the front”
Matthew Garratt, Chief People Officer, of LiveScore Group said: “We know that building world-class products starts with creating a world-class environment for our people. This trial reflects our belief that performance and wellbeing are not at odds, instead, they power each other. By supporting balance and in-person collaboration, we’re building a stronger, more connected team ready to drive the next chapter of our growth.
