Industry’s leading provider of live betting games nets Leader of the Year and Live Casino Supplier

BetGames.TV, the leading live dealer and betting games supplier, has closed a record-breaking year with two SBC Awards.

Awarded in recognition of the supplier’s outstanding contribution to the industry in 2020, the studio has been pioneering in its ability to offer a combination of low-spend and extended playing sessions for players, as well as far greater margins than other offerings.

Having led the team forward consistently in recent years, BetGames.TV’s COO, Aiste Garneviciene, netted the company’s first ‘Leader of the Year’ award.

Instrumental to the provider’s ongoing expansion across Europe, LatAm and Africa, the judging period has seen the company sign deals with the likes of Amelco, SBTech, Betway, Pinnacle, Parimatch, GVC, Meridianbet, Hollywoodbets and SNAI.

BetGames.TV has also ensured a continued production line of quality live dealer games – including the in-house development of its own range of products, such as War of Bets, Speedy 7 and 6+ Poker, which proved themselves as an essential revenue driver for operators during the cancellation of live sport.

For the ‘Live Casino Supplier of the Year’ Category, the judges were particularly impressed with the supplier’s ability to help its partners across LatAm and Africa transition from retail to online during global lockdowns this year, as well as the as the studio’s surge in commercial success globally.

Commenting on their two award wins, Richard Hogg, CCO at BetGames.TV sees the recognition as testament to the team’s ability to offer one of the industry’s most uniquely immersive betting experiences, alongside ease-of-use and high bet rates.

He added: “Operators around the world have had to find new verticals to plug the black hole in their revenue streams, and to that end, we have been a true industry saviour to our partners across the world.

“At BetGames.TV we understand that entertainment needs to be unique – we have found that by working harder and closer with clients, the benefits and results are huge.

“Live on 2,000 sites globally and dedicated to going above and beyond, we create entirely new live betting experiences with a unique 10-catalogue portfolio that others can’t match, as well as a level of personalisation that has seen us become the world’s ‘go to’ pandemic-proof supplier.”
