The number of sports games provided by BETER has doubled
The results are in and BETER is proud to report that the first half of 2021 has seen the Setka Cup go from strength to strength, as the number of table tennis, tennis and beach volleyball matches featured in this tournament have doubled in this time.
Alex Lobov, BETER’s Chief Product Officer, explained how the company achieved such growth rates.
INCREASING GROWTH
The number of sports events reached 22,500 (from January to June) in 2020. This figure for the same period of 2021 has doubled and totaled 42,281 events. Despite the return of major sports tournaments, including the UEFA European football championship, in June 2021, BETER provided the highest number of matches of all Setka Cup’s sports tournaments — 7,500 games (250 per day).
Alex Lobov, BETER’s Chief Product Officer, said, “BETER continues increasing the amount of fast sports content. And we do our best to ensure that our clients get 24/7/365 available products that allow sportsbooks to fill free airtime and count on predictable margins. That’s why we offer a large number of events and broadcast up to 10 matches simultaneously. All of our players and matches have comprehensive stats.
We suppose that major events can boost fans’ and bettors’ interest in commercial sports tournaments. The Setka Cup is a good case in point. The platform held a significant number of events even during the EURO-2020 and other big sporting events in June.”
The Setka Cup opened two new table tennis arenas at the beginning of 2021. The last one started operating in Prague (Czech Republic) in May and holds up to 1,000 matches per month. This positive dynamic expands the sports community of tournaments, mainly in Ukraine, where we have 9 sports arenas in the 3 largest cities.
ATHLETES AND SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS
The total number of sportspeople participating in Setka Cup tournaments has increased by 20% since January 2021. There are 780 active players now, and 600 regularly participate in table tennis tournaments in Ukraine and the Czech Republic. Jindrich Pansky, the double silver medalist of the world championship and participant of the Olympic Games, competes in Setka Cup’s tournaments in Prague.
The Ukrainian Table Tennis Federation has 1,868 active players (18-55 years old). One in three registered athletes is a participant in Seka Cup’s tournaments.
2021 became an important year for the Setka Cup. The platform launched tournaments in the EU. Moreover, recently the Setka Cup reached a strategic partnership with the Prague Table Tennis Association. It is an official recognition on the international level, and it proves Setka Cup’s ambitions to develop table tennis in the EU. Within the Memorandum with the Association, the Setka Cup plans to conduct sports coaching, develop table tennis and promote it in Prague and the Czech Republic.
NEW SPORTS
BETER now provides table tennis, tennis, and beach volleyball tournaments organized by Setka Cup. Beach volleyball competitions were launched in June 2021. And today, the platform holds 16 matches of this discipline every day.
Alex Lobov explained, “We are constantly working to improve and expand our product portfolio. We have a great team of 50+ operational specialists who are responsible for launching new sports as well as providing technical equipment and supporting fair play.
This year 2×2 beach volleyball tournaments have successfully passed the trial period. During this process we verified all the key metrics, focused on technical aspects, and tested an ability to keep an efficient, 24/7 schedule and ranking systems. Beach volleyball proves its profitability and effectiveness”.
BETTORS AND FANS
BETER provides live streaming, live data and odds for the Setka Cup’s matches. The company, by doing so, creates complex betting products for sportsbooks in 150 countries. According to the last data of one of the largest sportsbooks, the number of bettors who choose Setka Cup tournaments increased by 33% during the first half of 2021. Such significant growth happened in June when the UEFA European football championship and table tennis championship were held.
GEO
Thanks to BETER, the streams of Setka Cup’s tournaments are featured on no fewer than 100 sportsbooks, including bet365, William Hill.
According to Setka Cup’s table tennis web platform, European countries currently hold the record for the number of Setka Cup fans. The United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Spain, and Poland are in the TOP-10 countries where Setka Cup tournaments are the most popular among fans and bettors.

Reels.io Goes Live with Vegangster’s Next-Gen Video Discovery
Crypto casino Reels.io has unveiled a new Scroll & Play lobby developed by iGaming platform provider Vegangster, providing a video-driven alternative to the standard casino grid.
The launch reflects a growing shift in iGaming as operators adopt social media-inspired UX patterns to engage mobile-first audiences more efficiently.
The new lobby allows players to browse through a continuous video feed of short, autoplaying previews. Each clip offers a quick look at gameplay before launch, helping players discover new titles faster and more intuitively.
Beyond game discovery, Reels.io uses the feed as a dynamic space for promotions, featuring upcoming tournaments, in-casino events, and limited-time campaigns directly within the scrolling experience.
A Reels.io representative noted that since the rollout, players have been spending more time exploring new releases through the feed. Games featured in Scroll & Play are being launched more often, showing that short video previews help drive curiosity and action.
The Scroll & Play rollout is part of a broader collaboration between Reels.io and Vegangster, which already powers several interactive features on the site. These include Stories, used as a more engaging form of training instead of static text tutorials, and Lootboxes, working much like in video games by offering players randomised rewards that keep engagement high.
Michael Oziransky, Chief Product Officer at Vegangster, said:
“Scroll & Play fits naturally into how players already use digital content. There is almost no learning curve; the format feels familiar from the first scroll, which is why adoption on Reels.io happened so quickly.”
The Scroll & Play lobby was introduced on Reels.io in September and has already become a preferred entry point for many players, especially on mobile. The team is now gathering data to assess its full impact on engagement and conversion, but early results suggest strong adoption.
About Reels.io
Reels.io is a crypto casino offering a wide range of titles from leading iGaming providers. The brand focuses on fast onboarding, instant transactions, and player experiences designed for mobile-first audiences.
About Vegangster

3 Lucky Baozhu
TaDa Gaming Releases “3 Lucky Baozhu”
Reading Time: 2 minutes
TaDa Gaming, has added to its renowned TriLuck series with a classic Chinese themed slot game, 3 Lucky Baozhu. Offering multiple ways to win, 1000x max and 97% RTP, this gorgeously colourful game sparkles and crackles with fortune and good luck.
The five reels, three rows, 50 fixed paylines grid holds traditional symbols including Caishen god of wealth, lucky red envelopes, lanterns and musical instruments. Above the grid, the “3 pots” are the blue, green and purple baozhu – or firecrackers – consistently growing in size and ready to explode anytime.
A Mandarin text reading fu or “fortune” is the wild. Appearing only on reels two, three, four and five in the main game, it will substitute for all symbols except the firecracker feature symbols. Wins are formed by three of a kind. However, the generous Caishen will award a prize with just two matches on any payline he appears on.
The three firecracker symbols on the grid are also the scatters to trigger the bonus games. With each firecracker holding its own bonus, when three form a winning combination, one, two or even three bonus games can come into play simultaneously depending on the mix of firecracker colours.
Each bonus game begins with free spins. Purple and blue triggering firecrackers give three free spins, while green gives four. The purple firecracker or Double Up bonus puts two sets of reels into play. The blue or Ultra Spins bonus will boost coin symbol values, while green Extra adds an additional free spin, raising the count to four.
When players enter any bonus game, six kinds of Gold Coin symbols and blank positions only will appear. Each coin that lands will reset the free spin counter to three or four depending which firecracker triggered the bonus round.
The Gold Coins vary between plain gold to Mini, Minor, Major, Grand and Baozhu Grand jackpots. Jackpot values are dynamically based on the triggering wager and the deliberately wide range means 3 Lucky Baozhu will appeal to both casual players and high rollers.
Following on from earlier TriLuck releases 3 Coin Treasures, 3 Lucky Piggy and 3 Coin Wild Horse, the underlying “3 Pots” gives a Hold & Win style experience, while each slot’s unique theme and gameplay adds a new twist to the experience.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “The triple pots mechanic has global appeal for players. From LatAm to North America and across Europe, we have seen players’ positive reaction to the potential for all three features to trigger simultaneously. 3 Lucky Baozhu delivers this engaging gameplay in a sparkling fireworks’ themed slot to great effect.”
