Euro 2020 from a betting perspective

Published

on

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

Just before Finland’s debut in the European football championship, Spiffbet, together with Metric Gaming launched a sportsbook on the Finnish flagship casino SuperNopea and Swedish TurboVegas. The timing couldn’t have been better. Metric Gaming CEO Jim Supple and Spiffbet’s Maria Boelius discuss the summer of 2021 from a sports betting perspective.

This summer was unique in the sense that two major events postponed from 2020 due to the global pandemic finally took place. It was the opportunity that Maria Boelius, Head of Casino Operations at Spiffbet, had been waiting for and she and her team reached out to Metric Gaming to launch a sportsbook on Spiffbet’s casinos SuperNopea and TurboVegas.  We were excited to be able to launch a sportsbook so quickly with Metric Gaming’s multi-tenant platform. Technically it was easy for us to set it up and the performance has been flawless.

SuperNopea, launched just days ahead of the European Championships, and joined fellow Spiffbet casino, TurboVegas, on the Metric Gaming Sportsbook platform. The more established brand, TurboVegas accounted for 69% of the group’s tournament turnover. Both brands operated with similar trading strategies primarily aimed at acquisition. Metric’s efficient pricing allowed margin to be kept aggressively low on the three key pre-match football markets: Match Winner, Total Goals, and Both Teams to Score. This ensured that SuperNopea and Turbo Vegas were offering top price in a very competitive marketplace. The result of this aggressive pricing strategy was that two-thirds of new players had their first bets on these promoted markets, and subsequently half of those then migrated to higher-margin products for future bets.

Jim Supple, CEO of Metric Gaming, is very satisfied with the launch and the initial results: “Metric Gaming is delighted to have Spiffbet as a client. The summer of 2021 was remarkable from a sports perspective with both the Euro and the Olympics. All of our clients have seen a surge in betting revenues, and Spiffbet is no exception.”

Despite the relatively early exit of both Finland & Sweden, acquisition numbers remained strong throughout, with both brands recording significantly higher daily actives as the tournament progressed.

One of Metric Gaming’s key strengths is market availability. They target 97%+ uptime for live football. On average SuperNopea and TurboVegas were live, with a full set of markets, within 9 seconds of a goal being scored. This compares to up to 50 seconds by key rival Sportsbooks. With 149 goals scored across the tournament, it is vital markets are made available quickly and capture the high margin post-goal wagers.

Metric’s drive for market uptime paired with their in-play personalization engine remove blockers for all players and are key reasons Spiffbet enjoys high retention rates across their customer base. Customers are simply not given a reason to bet elsewhere.

Then there is the matter of launching a sportsbook just days before a tournament. Maria Boelius shares her view on the timing of the launch “In hindsight, we should have launched the sportsbook much earlier so that we would have had sufficient time to ramp up marketing properly. All the other more traditional sports betting sites had a lead over us. Despite the lack of time, our sportsbook got a lot of attention, and I am convinced that we made the right decision to launch before the Euro“.

Jim shares Maria’s view on the timing and adds “Metric provides the tools for betting, but we also need to work closely with the operators to ensure that the player gets the best experience possible. Importantly this is not just about the Euros, we see this as a long-term partnership.”

Traditional offline casinos as well as the local betting offices are opening up again after the pandemic. Jim Supple gives his thoughts on how the post-covid normalization will affect business and projections for the future: “We were doing great business before the pandemic, and we will continue to do so. We at Metric are seeing that the traditional casino operators, in order to compete in an increasingly competitive market, are adding a sportsbook to their casino games and slots. In addition, our market is growing year after year and new territories are opening up. We have a very positive outlook”.

Maria Boelius adds with a smile “I guess we are following the trend that Jim describes as we move from 100% casino to also providing a sportsbook. Currently, we are offering sports betting on three of our brands and we are looking into the possibilities of adding a sportsbook to some of our other casino brands. In general, we share Metrics positive outlook. We have just recruited a senior sportsbook manager to spearhead our expansion in the betting space.”

N1 Partners is launching N1 Sport Promo, a promo campaign for affiliates driving Sports Betting and Prediction Markets traffic.

The promotion covers the biggest sporting and esports events of the season, including the FIFA World Cup 2026, Wimbledon, Formula 1, UFC Freedom 250, and many other major events. The promo runs from June 10 to July 20, 2026.

During the campaign, affiliates can increase their CPA payouts based on the volume of qualified FTDs they deliver. The more quality players a partner brings, the higher his rate and total earnings become.

Why join N1 Sport Promo?

Every major sporting event attracts new audiences to the betting vertical, and summer 2026 offers multiple powerful growth drivers for affiliates.

  • Peak sports season.
    The biggest sporting events of the year are perfect for scaling traffic and testing new funnels.
  • Growing payouts.
    The more FTDs you generate, the higher your active CPA rate becomes.
  • Tier-1 GEOs.
    The promo is available across Tier-1 markets with high potential and quality sports traffic.

N1 Partners team has compiled a guide covering key sporting events, June promotions, and expert recommendations for monetising Tier-1 sports traffic to help affiliates prepare for the upcoming sports season.

How does N1 Sport Promo work?

The mechanics are simple: the more quality FTDs an affiliate generates, the higher their CPA rate becomes.

SEO and PPC

Affiliates working with SEO and PPC traffic can increase their CPA rate with no limits.

Every 10 FTDs add an extra €50 to your current rate. There is no cap on CPA growth.

Example:

FTD Rate Revenue
1–10 €300 €3 000
11–20 €350 €3 500
21–30 €400 €4 000
31–40 €450 €4 500

FB, In-App, UAC, ASO, Email and SMS

A separate payout structure applies to affiliates working with Facebook, In-App, UAC, ASO, Email, and SMS traffic.

Every 30 FTDs increase your current CPA rate by €10. The maximum increase is €100 on top of the base rate.

Accordingly, the more successfully a campaign scales, the higher the final payout becomes.

Example:

FTD Rate Revenue
1–30 €100 €3 000
31–60 €110 €3 300
61–90 €120 €3 600

Novusbet and TeApuesto scale omnichannel betting in Peru with 1,300-shop network

novusbet-and-teapuesto-scale-omnichannel-betting-in-peru-with-1,300-shop-network

Novusbet and Peruvian operator TeApuesto are expanding a large-scale omnichannel betting operation in Peru, Novusbet said on 11 June 2026 in a release from Nicosia, Cyprus. The supplier said the deployment links a retail network of more than 1,300 shops—each with at least two terminals—to online, mobile, self-service terminals and back-office operations.

Novusbet said the TeApuesto operation processes more than 3 million sports and virtual tickets every month. The company positioned the project as an example of growing convergence between retail and digital betting in Peru, where shops remain central but customer expectations are shifting toward faster access, mobile use and digital payment options.

According to Novusbet, the focus is “not only about allowing players to access the same brand through different channels” but “creating continuity across the full player journey: from registration and betting activity to payments, ticket management, account interaction, information access and customer support.”

The company also pointed to local payment habits as a driver for product development, citing mobile money transfer services Yape and Plin as widely used in Peru. Novusbet said it has enhanced self-service and “omniconnected solutions” with payment options aligned with local usage patterns.

Novusbet said it will exhibit at Peru Gaming Show 2026 on June 17–18 at the Centro de Exposiciones Jockey in Lima.

ICONIC21 releases Soccer World Championship slot built around penalty shootouts

Published

iconic21-releases-soccer-world-championship-slot-built-around-penalty-shootouts

ICONIC21 has released Soccer World Championship, a new multiplayer-driven slot themed around penalty shootouts. The game runs on a 5×5 grid with 15 paylines.

The title’s core mechanic is a Penalty symbol that becomes an Expanding Wild and triggers a duel between a Striker and a Goalkeeper. Each carries a multiplier between 2x and 100x, with the duel outcome determining which remains on the reel. ICONIC21 said multiple Expanding Wilds on the same payline combine their multipliers into a single win.

The game includes two bonus modes. Three Goalkeeper Bonus symbols trigger a Bonus Game featuring frequent Penalty symbols, where multipliers from Expanding WILDs build a global multiplier applied to all wins. Three Striker Bonus symbols instead activate a Bonus Game where Expanding WILDs lock as Sticky WILDs until the end of the feature.

Edvardas Sadovskis, Chief Product Officer at ICONIC21, said: “Football is the one sport where a single moment can decide everything, and that is exactly the feeling we set out to build a slot around.

“The penalty duel puts that tension at the heart of the base game, and the two bonus modes give players genuinely different ways for the match to play out. It’s a title with an instantly recognisable hook, strong seasonal reference and the kind of standout mechanic that earns its place in any operator’s lobby.”
