Partnership features in-play, real money “micro-market” betting opportunities powered by Simplebet’s machine learning and automation engine, to imminently launch with INTRALOT in the U.S. with global expansion to follow.

INTRALOT, a premier global sports betting and lottery supplier, announces that it will be partnering with Simplebet, an innovator in global sports betting technology, to launch new in-play, real money betting micro-market betting opportunities for NFL, MLB, and NBA. Simplebet, a B2B product development company using machine learning and automation to enable every moment of every sporting event to become a betting opportunity, known as Micro-Markets, will offer millions of new and engaging betting opportunities across INTRALOT Orion, the next-generation Sports Betting platform.

Simplebet’s proprietary Micro-Markets pricing engine powers in real-time both the market mechanics of a betting market (i.e. creation, suspension, repricing, and resulting) and odds for each selection. INTRALOT and Simplebet will begin rolling out the products this NFL season and potentially later this MLB postseason, with plans to launch for the next NBA season.

“The continuous enrichment of player experience and the enablement of state organizations in contributing to good causes are key elements of our purpose as a company. We do that organically and through partnerships with innovative companies,” said INTRALOT Group CEO, Dr. Chris Dimitriadis. “We are looking forward to working with Simplebet and diversifying our portfolio further.”

“As we continue to partner with leading operators and suppliers across the sports betting industry, INTRALOT is a natural fit for us to not only showcase our product and proprietary technology this NFL season, but to also provide a best in class experience for fans, both in the U.S. and globally,” said Chris Bevilacqua, Co-Founder and CEO of Simplebet. “As first to market with a truly scalable enterprise solution for Micro-Markets, we’re looking forward to our launch with INTRALOT and providing fans with new ways to bet on and engage with sports.”

“The U.S. sports betting industry continues to grow and evolve at a rapid pace and we are thrilled to partner with Simplebet as we become a first mover in offering U.S. sports fans Micro-Markets,” said Nick Papadoglou, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Sports Betting in the U.S. for INTRALOT. “Simplebet’s Micro-Market pricing engine provides fans literally millions of additional betting opportunities tied to the moments that drive the consumption of U.S. sports, and we are excited to partner with Simplebet on bringing a new level of product innovation to the marketplace.”

INTRALOT already has sports betting contracts in Washington, D.C., Montana, and New Hampshire. Globally, INTRALOT operates in 42 regulated jurisdictions with an average of $21.5 billion in annual wagering, and will work with Simplebet to launch Micro-Markets globally after the initial launch in the U.S.

Simplebet’s mission is to power the future of fan engagement by creating betting opportunities for every moment of every sporting event. Simplebet enables sportsbook operators and technology platforms to offer new betting markets in an effort to attract new customers, reduce customer acquisition costs, and increase the overall lifetime value of customers.

BVGroup’s flagship brand BetVictor has launched a new brand campaign, “For All Your Favourite Things”, backed by what the company said is its largest AV investment to date.

The campaign, created by Barn Door Studios, uses a rewrite of “My Favourite Things” from The Sound of Music over visuals of sporting events. BetVictor said the creative focuses on “the uncomplicated thrill of sport and betting”.

BetVictor is timing the launch around this weekend’s Premier League schedule, with spots running alongside Arsenal vs Newcastle on Saturday evening and Chelsea vs Leeds on Sunday afternoon.

Media planning is led by Bountiful Cow. The plan includes a new partnership with Sky, spanning live sport integrations, on-demand, YouTube channels and targeted digital placements via Sky Advance. BetVictor also outlined a data-led SVOD and BVOD strategy across ITVX, Channel 4, Prime Video and Netflix, plus digital and social.

Richard Walters, Director of Brand and Creative at BetVictor, said:

“‘For All Your Favourite Things’ captures what BetVictor stands for today – a premium, straightforward experience that enhances the thrill of sport.

When done right, we believe that gambling is a simple pleasure; one that we love connecting our customers to. We wanted to celebrate the moments that matter most to sports fans.”

QTech Games has won the Leader in Online Casino award at the Annual Sports Betting East Africa (SBEA+) 2026 Summit in Nairobi, Kenya.

The company said it beat other shortlisted suppliers including SA Gaming, BetConstruct, and DST Gaming. The award is described by the event as recognising the “top all-round online casino platform for innovation, user engagement, and sustained growth” over the past year.

The SBEA+ Eventus Awards focus on the East African igaming and sports betting sector and were presented at a gala ceremony at the Argyle Grand Hotel. QTech Games said the judging period covered 2025/26 and that its aggregation platform performance was ranked highest by the panel.

QTech Games CEO Philip Doftvik said: “We’re thrilled to have walked off with another notable award for the best overall online-casino-platform provision in East Africa. Being shortlisted in such good company was already a result, but victory provides the real validation, particularly after running a great campaign at recent Eventus events in Africa. We’ve been promoting QTech Hybrid, our breakthrough retail solution, to great effect and it’s been fantastic to see that going live with a handful of top-tier clients on this continent has led to such overwhelmingly positive feedback and immediate success cases in the realm of genuine innovation.

“This win is testimony to our diligent team at QTech Games, and to the constantly growing group of innovative suppliers that our platform represents. It’s a truly collaborative effort. We remain committed to rolling out high-quality content that drives revenue for our worldwide partners across Africa and beyond. After all, in today’s marketplace, only premium games of the highest standard will separate you from the crowd, so we were delighted to see the panel acknowledge how our premier platform is delivering across Africa’s eclectic ecosystem. We’ve made our name as the pre-eminent aggregator in these evolving margin markets, delivering localised games that speak to a host of player proclivities. This award win will spur us on to new horizons.”
