Why should Casino operators offer Sportsbook?

New perfect match: casino operators and sportsbook 

  • Information literacy and trust have created a new ecosystem where sports betting and casino games complement each other.
  • Players are searching for one-stop shops.
  • Casinos offer fast results, thrilling 24/7 entertainment, so does Live Betting – the profile of the players is similar.

 

  • Sports betting MTS  is a proven low-risk profit generator.
  • Simple iframe integration ensures that the casino page looks fabulous and appealing to the players.
  • To celebrate its sportsbook, and to boost further development of customers’ online business, NSoft has launched a campaign: Sportsbook integration with no setup fee! 

There is nothing new in casino content being present on sports betting operators’ website. Not even if the operator’s business is heavily sportsbook oriented. The versatility of the game offer, especially for the online channel, has become an industry standard.

As for casino only online operators, however, there is no reciprocity at that level. Online casinos are still offering almost exclusively – well, casino content.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, all industries reshaped to some extent. In the betting business, lack of sports events was substituted with esports, casino content and virtual games. As a result, online betting operators have enriched their offer with exciting new content.

This shift started even before COVID-19 lockdown. The numbers are leaning toward the conclusion that sportsbook and casino are meant to be together. A fine line between casino and betting operators is becoming invisible.

When we speak about online betting operators in Central Europe, in the past several years, Sportsbook held over 60% of the business. In 2020, the numbers are entirely different, with 70% of total turnover and GGR being made in the Casino segment of business.

The Balkan region has a similar trend. Sportsbook held primacy over Casino with 80% of business just three years ago. The current situation is that 60% of the total turnover goes into Sportsbook. In Baltics, casino content now covers 80% of the total turnover.

Traditional betting operators have adapted to the new market conditions. They learned that the players are seeking a one-stop-shop, a single place for their online gambling entertainment. Information literacy and trust have created a new ecosystem where sports betting and casino games complement each other.

Exclusivity in offer in betting and gambling is a drawback. Versatility can ease the transition in the time of turmoils like the one we experienced just a few months ago. The good news is that traditional casino operators are more than ever interested in Sportsbook integration into their online business.

Data-backed decision

In research conducted by the Business Analytics team at NSoft, sports betting is a man thing. Over 75% of online players are men, with the majority of players fitting into the age group 25 to 34 years of age. The most popular betting product is In-Play Sports betting and the most popular sport is football.

Looking deeper into the numbers, players engaged in online betting like to combine sports betting with draw-based games. Products like In-Play betting and draw-based game Lucky Six have the lowest churn rate and highest retention rate. In other words, punters who are engaged in sports betting would love to play fast casino games as well.

So where is the opportunity for online casino operators? The data shows that the betting operators who introduced casino games into its offer have significantly improved the retention rate. In general, betting operators who are offering more versatile content, tend to have more loyal players.

Once again – players like to have everything in one place.

Combining a vast world of online casino content with sports betting will result in a more loyal player base.

Sports events are irreplaceable

Nothing can be compared with watching your favourite football team in a derby match. The thrill of the game, excitement during every successful long pass and frustration over questionable referee’s decisions – it’s a paradigm of life itself. We love it and who wouldn’t miss it!

“For casino operators, the online channel is somewhat different from brick-and-mortar. The online channel offers so many possibilities for seamless integration of other content types. We wanted to extend our business and include sportsbook but we had some doubts. Our two main concerns were: will our players accept that shift and other was related to UX/UI. Luckily, NSoft took care for the second one by performing simple yet effective iframe integration into our platform that fitted perfectly. As of players, we have learned that profile of our players matched with sportsbook players’ base. We even got more engagement from new players attracted by sportsbook content  – live betting in particular stated Donny White, Sportsbook Director at Victory Willbeours.

During the lockdown, esports had its 5 minutes of glory, for apparent reasons. But as soon as sports events were back again, the number of pre-match and live tickets in betting hit the sky. Sportsbook is beyond doubt the backbone of the betting business.

Casino operators offering Sportsbook – the next big thing

Most software providers on the market have their Sportsbook flagged as a top product. NSoft is undoubtedly one of the leading industry’s software providers with over 100 clients worldwide using NSoft Pre-Match Betting MTS, Pre-Match Self-Managed or Live Betting MTS solutions.

Also, NSoft is one of the few providers that can seamlessly integrate Sportsbook into third-party platforms.

We believe that the integration of Sportsbook solution into an existing online casino operation will be the next big thing when it comes to the online channel.

“Nowadays Sportsbook has become a vital part of any successful online casino, with more and more players joining the sports betting industry. Thus we decided that adding a sportsbook to our casino was of utmost importance, so after surfing through several providers and careful consideration, we decided to pick NSoft. While checking the countless providers NSoft caught our eye in an instant with a friendly interface, countless markets and super-fast integration process. The backbone of this decision was that NSoft is a preferred partner of Sportradar. All of this led to a unanimous decision to partner up with NSoft and we have not been disappointed so far,” commented Maria Fernández, CMO of Betflip.

Sportsbook is a profit generator and combined with the vast casino players’ base, it’s a winning combination. NSoft’s risk-free, turnkey solution for Sportsbook is an essential part of this equation. Simple wallet and iframe integration ensure that the casino page looks fabulous and appealing to the players.

Although players are often clustered as casino or sportsbook players, data shows that online sportsbook operators who introduced casino and virtual games into their offer managed to attract all new players’ segment. Live Betting and Casino indeed are different types of content but certain similarities are undoubted. Both are available 24/7, fast resolved and very profitable.

“We received a huge spike of new players at our casino all thanks to the Sportsbook. We have advanced to the next level of competitiveness on the gambling market and this is definitely all thanks to NSoft and their quality product” – concluded Fernández.

NSoft Sportsbook team of experts

For the NSoft Sportsbook team of experts, the question isn’t should we do it or how to do it, but when do we start.

We consider Sportsbook integration to the casino-based operators as seamless and logical as NSoft’s Sportsbook is an easy-to-integrate and user-friendly solution that fits every business. It is a hustle-free process for the product that doesn’t require any additional workforce from the operator.

NSoft’s MTS turnkey solution for sports betting provides clients with a competitive omnichannel solution without additional costs and with revenue share business model. All support and logistics for successful market positioning is provided by NSoft. That includes Sportradar’s market-leading Unified Odds Feed, supporting features (Live stream, Live Match Tracker, Stats and Player Props) that add value to the product. NSoft and Sportradar take care of Risk Management so the operator can focus on what matters most – their players!

Partnership with Sportradar

Long-term partnership with Sportradar helped us shape our Sportsbook MTS (Managed Trading Services). This covers every step on the way to a successful sportsbook offer: a full package of Betradar Odds feed and risk management provided by NSoft experts.

Sportsbook without setup fee – a special welcome bonus for online operators 

To celebrate its sportsbook, and to boost further development of customers’ online business, NSoft has launched a campaign: Sportsbook integration with no setup fee! This welcome discount within the special offer is valid until the end of this year for standard integration.

Fernando Carvalho define una nueva era para los mercados de predicción en Brasil con VoxFi

Published

on

fernando-carvalho-define-una-nueva-era-para-los-mercados-de-prediccion-en-brasil-con-voxfi

La expansión global de los mercados de predicción está comenzando a redefinir la forma en que los usuarios interactúan con la información, la probabilidad y el engagement digital.

Ubicadas en la intersección entre finanzas, tecnología y datos de comportamiento, estas plataformas están ganando tracción como una forma estructurada de transformar la inteligencia colectiva en pronósticos medibles sobre eventos futuros.

En Brasil, este segmento emergente aún se encuentra en una etapa inicial, pero la combinación de una audiencia digital altamente comprometida, la reciente evolución regulatoria en sectores adyacentes como fintech y cripto, y la búsqueda constante de nuevos modelos de engagement dentro del iGaming, crea un entorno fértil para el crecimiento.

Es en este contexto que VoxFi se posiciona como uno de los primeros actores estructurados dentro del ecosistema local.

La semana pasada, durante BiS SiGMA South America 2026 en São Paulo, la empresa presentó oficialmente su solución white label, diseñada para permitir que terceros integren mercados de predicción directamente en sus propios sitios web y aplicaciones.

VoxFi también participó en el panel “Forecasting or Gambling? The Fine Line Between Prediction Markets and Bets”, donde el CEO y cofundador Fernando Carvalho analizó los límites entre los modelos de predicción emergentes y las estructuras tradicionales de apuestas.

Además, la compañía fue seleccionada como una de las seis finalistas del Startup Pitch Competition del evento, reforzando su posicionamiento como un actor innovador en el sector.

La empresa, una plataforma brasileña enfocada en contratos de predicción basados en eventos, ha desarrollado una solución white label que permite a otras compañías integrar mercados de predicción directamente en sus propios entornos digitales.

A través de conectividad vía API, empresas de distintos sectores, desde medios y entretenimiento hasta telecomunicaciones, pueden ofrecer experiencias de predicción personalizadas bajo su propia marca, aprovechando la infraestructura, el marco de compliance y los mecanismos de liquidez de VoxFi.

A diferencia de los modelos tradicionales de apuestas, VoxFi opera bajo una lógica peer to peer, donde los usuarios negocian contratos binarios, sí o no, basados en resultados futuros.

El precio de estos contratos refleja probabilidades percibidas, creando un entorno dinámico que se asemeja más a los mercados financieros que a las estructuras de juego convencionales.

Todos los mercados pasan por un proceso interno de curaduría y validación, con criterios de resolución claramente definidos, estándares de compliance y sistemas de monitoreo.

La plataforma también incorpora prácticas del mercado financiero como KYC obligatorio, monitoreo de transacciones y segregación de cuentas por evento, reforzando su posicionamiento como un ecosistema estructurado y responsable.

Fundada por Fernando Carvalho, conocido por su rol en el desarrollo del mercado de criptoactivos en Brasil a través de QR Capital, y Luis Felipe Carvalho, emprendedor fintech detrás de NG.CASH, VoxFi combina experiencia en innovación financiera con un producto diseñado para escalar y alinearse con la regulación.

En esta entrevista exclusiva, el CEO Fernando Carvalho explica las razones detrás de su entrada en un segmento aún poco comprendido, el posicionamiento estratégico de VoxFi y lo que viene para los mercados de predicción en Brasil.

El mercado de predicción aún no es ampliamente comprendido en Brasil. ¿Qué los llevó a apostar por este sector?
Fernando Carvalho
– Elegimos construir VoxFi porque los mercados de predicción son una de las formas más eficientes de transformar información dispersa en probabilidades sobre el futuro.

Agregan conocimiento colectivo de manera estructurada y transparente.

Observamos avances regulatorios importantes en Estados Unidos entre 2024 y 2025, lo que indicó que este modelo comenzaría a escalar globalmente.

Vimos un escenario similar al inicio del mercado cripto, un sector nuevo que requiere educación, gobernanza sólida y desarrollo gradual para alcanzar escala.

¿Dónde está la línea entre mercados de predicción y apuestas?
La diferencia es estructural. En los mercados de predicción, los usuarios negocian entre sí a través de un libro de órdenes y los precios reflejan probabilidades percibidas.

En las apuestas tradicionales, existe una casa que define las cuotas y asume el riesgo. Aquí no hay casa, hay mercado.

VoxFi entra con un enfoque B2B. ¿Qué oportunidad identificaron?
El iGaming está atravesando una transformación en Brasil y los operadores buscan nuevas formas de engagement.

Nuestra solución permite integrar mercados de predicción como una capa adicional de contenido vía API, mientras los socios mantienen su identidad de marca.

¿Compiten con operadores de apuestas?
No. Complementamos el ecosistema. Evitamos deliberadamente temas deportivos para no competir directamente y ampliar el abanico de contenidos.

¿Brasil está atrasado en este segmento?
No. Está en una etapa inicial, pero con características ideales, una audiencia digital altamente comprometida y una creciente familiaridad con instrumentos financieros más sofisticados.

¿Cómo funciona el modelo de ingresos?
Es similar al de plataformas de trading, cobramos comisiones sobre transacciones o sobre la liquidación de contratos.

En el modelo B2B también generamos ingresos a través de fees de implementación y acuerdos de revenue share. Es un modelo altamente escalable.

¿Quiénes son los principales interesados hoy?
Hay tres grupos principales, operadores de iGaming, empresas de medios y entretenimiento, y plataformas digitales con grandes audiencias.

¿Cómo se construye liquidez en un mercado nuevo?
Inicialmente mediante un market maker interno para garantizar condiciones eficientes de negociación. Al mismo tiempo, estamos desarrollando infraestructura para integrar market makers externos a medida que el ecosistema crece.

¿Por qué evitar temas como deportes y elecciones?
Es una decisión estratégica para alinearnos con la regulación actual y evitar conflictos con organismos como CVM, SPA y TSE.

¿Brasil está cerca de regular los mercados de predicción?
La discusión recién está comenzando a tomar fuerza. El principal riesgo es una clasificación incorrecta como apuestas tradicionales o como derivados financieros.

¿Qué define el éxito en los próximos seis meses?
El crecimiento de la base de usuarios, el volumen negociado y la activación de integraciones white label con socios estratégicos.

A futuro, ¿será un complemento del iGaming o una categoría propia?
En el corto plazo lo vemos como un complemento natural del iGaming, agregando nuevas capas de contenido y engagement.

A largo plazo, creemos que puede convertirse en una categoría digital propia, una nueva capa de internet enfocada en la predicción de eventos futuros.

Fernando Carvalho outlines new era for prediction markets in Brazil with VoxFi white label technology

Published

on

fernando-carvalho-outlines-new-era-for-prediction-markets-in-brazil-with-voxfi-white-label-technology

The global expansion of prediction markets is beginning to reshape how users interact with information, probability, and digital engagement.

Positioned at the intersection of finance, technology, and behavioral data, these platforms are gaining traction as a structured way to transform collective intelligence into measurable forecasts about future events.

In Brazil, this emerging segment is still in its early stages, but the combination of a highly engaged digital audience, recent regulatory evolution in adjacent sectors such as fintech and crypto, and the constant search for new engagement models within iGaming creates a fertile environment for growth.

It is within this context that VoxFi is positioning itself as one of the first structured players in the local ecosystem.

Last week, during BiS SiGMA South America 2026 in São Paulo, the company officially presented its white-label solution, designed to allow third-party businesses to integrate prediction markets directly into their own websites and applications.

VoxFi also took part in the panel “Forecasting or Gambling? The Fine Line Between Prediction Markets and Bets,” where CEO and co-founder Fernando Carvalho discussed the boundaries between emerging prediction models and traditional betting structures.

In addition, the company was selected as one of the six finalists in the event’s Startup Pitch Competition, reinforcing its positioning as an innovative player in the space.

The company, a Brazilian platform focused on event-based prediction contracts, has introduced a white-label solution that allows third-party companies to integrate prediction markets directly into their own digital environments.

Through API connectivity, businesses across sectors, from media and entertainment to telecom,  can offer customized prediction experiences under their own branding, leveraging VoxFi’s infrastructure, compliance framework, and liquidity mechanisms.

Unlike traditional betting models, VoxFi operates on a peer-to-peer logic, where users trade binary contracts (“yes” or “no”) based on future outcomes.

The pricing of these contracts reflects perceived probabilities, creating a dynamic environment that resembles financial markets more than conventional gambling structures.

All markets undergo internal curation and validation, with clearly defined resolution criteria, compliance standards, and monitoring systems.

The platform also incorporates financial-market practices such as mandatory KYC, transaction monitoring, and event-based account segregation, reinforcing its positioning as a structured and responsible ecosystem.

Founded by Fernando Carvalho, known for his role in advancing the crypto asset market in Brazil through QR Capital, and Luis Felipe Carvalho, a fintech entrepreneur behind NG.CASH, VoxFi combines experience in financial innovation with a product designed for scalability and regulatory alignment.

In this exclusive interview, CEO Fernando Carvalho explains the rationale behind entering a still-misunderstood segment, the strategic positioning of VoxFi, and what lies ahead for prediction markets in Brazil.

The prediction market is still not widely understood in Brazil. What led you to invest in this sector?
Fernando Carvalho – We chose to build VoxFi because prediction markets are one of the most efficient ways to transform dispersed information into probabilities about the future.

They aggregate collective knowledge in a structured and transparent way. We observed important regulatory developments in the United States between 2024 and 2025, which indicated that this model would begin to scale globally.

We saw a scenario similar to the early days of the crypto market: a new sector that requires education, strong governance, and gradual development to reach scale.

Where is the line between prediction markets and betting?
The difference is structural. In prediction markets, users trade with each other through an order book, and prices reflect perceived probabilities.

In traditional betting, there is a house that sets the odds and assumes the risk. Here, there is no “house” — there is a market.

VoxFi enters with a B2B approach. What opportunity did you identify?
iGaming is undergoing a transformation in Brazil, and operators are looking for new ways to engage users.

Our solution allows prediction markets to be integrated as an additional content layer via API, while partners maintain their own brand identity.

Do you compete with betting operators?
No. We complement the ecosystem. We deliberately avoid sports-related topics to prevent direct competition and instead expand the range of available content.

Is Brazil behind in this segment?
No. It is in an early stage, but with ideal characteristics: a highly engaged digital audience and increasing familiarity with more sophisticated financial instruments.

How does your revenue model work?
It is similar to trading platforms: we charge fees on transactions or on contract settlement. In the B2B model, we also generate revenue through setup fees and revenue-sharing agreements. It is a highly scalable model.

Who are the main players interested in this today?
There are three main groups: iGaming operators, media and entertainment companies, and digital platforms with large audiences.

How do you build liquidity in a new market?
Initially, through an internal market maker to ensure efficient trading conditions. At the same time, we are developing infrastructure to integrate external market makers as the ecosystem grows.

Why avoid topics like sports and elections?
This is a strategic decision to align with current regulations and avoid conflicts with authorities such as CVM, SPA, and TSE.

Is Brazil close to regulating prediction markets?
The discussion is just beginning to gain traction. The main risk is being incorrectly classified as either traditional betting or financial drivatives.

What defines success in the next six months?
Growth in user base, trading volume, and the activation of white-label integrations with strategic partners.

Looking ahead, will this be a complement to iGaming or a standalone category?
In the short term, we see prediction markets as a natural complement to iGaming, adding new layers of content and engagement. In the long term, we believe they can become a standalone digital category,  a new layer of the internet focused on forecasting future events.

DATA.BET Expands at SiGMA South America 2026

Published

data.bet-expands-at-sigma-south-america-2026

DATA.BET has reinforced its ambitions in Latin America by making a strong return to BiS SiGMA South America 2026, one of the region’s most influential iGaming events.

With a significantly larger presence and an expanded product suite, the company demonstrated a clear evolution from its earlier identity as an esports-centric provider into a comprehensive sportsbook solutions partner.

Held in São Paulo, the event provided the perfect stage for DATA.BET to showcase its full-scale betting ecosystem. The company presented an integrated portfolio that spans traditional sports betting, esports wagering, and virtual sports—positioning itself as a one-stop solution for operators targeting regulated markets, particularly in Brazil.

A key highlight of DATA.BET’s offering is its GLI certification for Brazil. This certification is a major advantage for operators, as it removes the need for additional technical approvals and significantly shortens time-to-market. In a rapidly developing regulatory environment like Brazil’s, this capability gives partners a competitive edge when launching or scaling their betting platforms.

At the exhibition stand, visitors explored several product enhancements designed to improve both operator efficiency and player engagement. Among the updates were revamped Statistical Widgets and the esports-focused Timeline Widget, both aimed at delivering richer real-time insights and more immersive user experiences. The introduction of features such as One-Click Bet and Early Payout further underscores DATA.BET’s commitment to streamlining the betting journey while adding flexibility and excitement for end users.

In addition to officially announced upgrades, the company also teased an upcoming feature currently in development. While details remain under wraps, DATA.BET indicated that this innovation will push engagement standards even higher, reflecting its ongoing investment in next-generation betting technology.

Beyond technology, the company ensured its booth stood out through an engaging and interactive atmosphere. Cosplayers portraying popular League of Legends characters Jinx and Ahri attracted steady attention, reinforcing DATA.BET’s roots in esports culture while bridging the gap to mainstream sports betting audiences. A dynamic kinetic screen added a visual centerpiece, helping to maintain strong visitor engagement throughout the event.

According to Natalie Loshatynska, Head of PR & Marketing at DATA.BET, the company’s return to SiGMA South America marks a significant milestone. She emphasized that the transformation from an esports-focused provider to a full sportsbook ecosystem reflects both strategic growth and a deep commitment to local markets. With expanded coverage, localized certification, and tailored tools, DATA.BET is positioning itself as a leading supplier across key verticals including esports, traditional sports, and virtual betting.

This strategic shift aligns with broader industry trends, as Latin America—particularly Brazil—continues to emerge as one of the fastest-growing regulated betting markets globally. By investing in technology, compliance, and localized solutions, DATA.BET aims to empower operators to capitalize on these opportunities while delivering high-quality betting experiences to users.

As competition intensifies in the region, companies that can combine regulatory readiness with innovative product offerings are likely to lead the market. DATA.BET’s performance at BiS SiGMA South America 2026 suggests it is well on its way to becoming a dominant force in the evolving Latin American betting landscape.
