BETER Cracks Florida Market: Setka Cup Now Live on Hard Rock Bet
Editorās Take
Why this matters: Florida is a āmonopoly marketā controlled by the Seminole Tribe, meaning there is only one door in: Hard Rock Bet. By securing vendor registration here, BETER gains access to one of the most populous states in the U.S. without the fragmentation of competition seen in states like New Jersey. The immediate deployment of Setka Cup (table tennis) fills a crucial need for 24/7, fast-paced content during U.S. daytime off-hours.
The Full Story
BETER, the provider of next-gen betting content and data, has officially entered the Florida sports betting market after securing Vendor Registration from the Seminole Tribe of Florida (dba Seminole Gaming).
The regulatory approval allows BETER to supply its fast-paced betting products to the stateās sole authorized operator, Hard Rock Bet.
Day One Impact: Table Tennis Following the approval, BETER has immediately launched its exclusive Setka Cup table tennis tournaments on the Hard Rock Bet platform.
-
The Product: Setka Cup provides 24/7 live streaming, real-time data, and odds.
-
The Reach: Florida becomes the fifth U.S. state where Setka Cup is available to bettors.
-
The Metric: BETER covers approximately 700,000 fast-paced events annually, offering up to 50 betting markets per event with margins often exceeding market standards.
Next Phase: Esports While table tennis is live now, BETER has confirmed that its esports portfolioāspecifically ESportsBattleāwill be integrated into Hard Rock Bet in the ānear future.ā This will bring round-the-clock eFootball, eBasketball, and other fast-market disciplines to Florida bettors.
Management Commentary Chuck Robinson, Chief Revenue Officer at BETER, emphasized the strategic value of the exclusive Hard Rock partnership:
āLaunching Setka Cup with our partner Hard Rock Bet is particularly significant, as it allows us to introduce our fast-betting content to Florida bettors through a highly trusted sportsbook platform. We see strong long-term potential in Florida⦠Our esports content, particularly ESportsBattle, will also be going live soon.ā
Valeriia Tarchynska, Chief Legal Officer at BETER, noted the complexity of the approval:
āObtaining vendor registration in Florida reflects the strength of our regulatory strategy⦠We are grateful to the Seminole Tribe of Florida dba Seminole Gaming for their cooperation throughout the registration process.ā
This approval is part of a wider U.S. expansion strategy for BETER, which has already secured access in key states including Ohio, Arizona, and Kentucky.
