BetGames, the leading live dealer and betting games supplier, is celebrating the success of its ambitious Lotto Reloaded launch, which revamped its lotto studio and enhanced its flagship product offering.

Revealed in June, Lotto Reloaded epitomised BetGames’ desire to take its lottery offering to the next level. The bold step-forward saw the company re-design and rebuild its studio, as well as enhancing its features, technology and security.

The decision has since proven prudent, as since the launch, BetGames has seen a marked boost in performance. Lucky 5 showed a 13% yearly increase in GGR and 17% in total bets, whereas Lucky 6 reported a year-on-year increase of 16% in total bets and 56% in GGR.

The success of the launch has also mirrored wider commercial growth, as the company has seen its footprint enhance in several markets, reporting a year-over-year increase of 100% in Africa and 150% in Greece.

With this in mind, the supplier has its eyes set on expanding further with a variety of markets in Latin America set to be added by the end of the year.

The ground-breaking Lotto Reloaded launch has heightened BetGames’ reputation as a top-tier provider to the industry, resulting in it being shortlisted for the Industry Innovation of the Year category in the 2021 SBC Awards and being crowned Lottery and Bingo Supplier of the Year in the recent SBC Awards Latinoamérica.

Commenting on Lotto Reloaded’s success, BetGames’ CEO, Andreas Koeberl, said: “We felt that the Lotto Reloaded launch was always going to be the right move for the company, and we were confident we would find success by enhancing our offering, however, the actual response has exceeded our expectations.

“We are immensely proud of what we have achieved. The success of the launch is testament to the hard work and dedication our team commits to ensuring BetGames maintains its position as an industry-leading lottery provider.”

Offering winning combinations of low-spend and extended playing sessions for players, BetGames has proven itself as the industry’s ‘go-to’ lottery supplier thanks to its uniquely immersive betting experience, ease-of-use, and high bet rates.

The studio holds licences issued by multiple jurisdictions including the UKGC and MGA, while being compliant with the local regulatory requirements of Italy, Colombia and various South African gambling authorities. Swedish regulatory approval is also expected within the coming months.

CSMG will create and operate College Street FighterTM Tour in North America for the 2024-25 academic year
College conference Street Fighter 6 champions will punch their ticket to the national Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) & May Madness in 2025

Collegiate Sports Management Group (CSMG) announced today during the kick-off of its Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) Texas presented by McDonald’s that it has joined forces with Capcom to launch the College Street FighterTM Tour during its 2024-25 academic year with the finalists competing at CECC Texas in 2025 throughout its May Madness event. Street FighterTM 6 will join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch 2®, Rocket League, and VALORANT as part of the official game titles for CECC.

“We are immensely excited to welcome Capcom into the CECC family and provide a path to glory for student athletes to showcase their skills in Street Fighter 6,” said Michael Schreck, Chief Executive Officer for CSMG. “In our fourth year of building May Madness, we continue to listen to our players, coaches and fans on how to make our event more inclusive, and the partnership with Street Fighter 6 is a resounding success.”

“The Street Fighter franchise is a multi-generational and global game series, so it’s important for us to continue to grow that fandom at the collegiate level,” said Michael Larson, Head of Esports at Capcom USA. “CECC continues to set the standard for competition and community, so it’s a natural format for expansion, and we’re eager for College Street Fighter Tour competitors across North America to show off their skills and join us in Texas next year.”

”The vision for the College Street Fighter Tour is a publisher backed esports series that integrates into the existing infrastructure of The Collegiate Esports Commissioners Cup, a bracket style event series that takes place every year and has been coined May Madness. The path to championship includes invitational bids to national and regional level conferences as well as official CECC qualifiers held regionally,” said Angela Bernhard Thomas, Chief Esports Officer for CSMG’s ESPORTSU.

Every college or university from a 2-year or 4-year institution can participate through their conference or through select qualifiers. Wim Stocks will serve as the Commissioner of the College Street Fighter Tour and bring his 20 years of experience in college esports to create a dynamic and engaging format of competitive gaming.

“Since the launch of Street Fighter 6 in June of ’23, it is clear the rich legacy of Street Fighter is stronger than ever and helping lift the fighting game community to still greater heights,” said Stocks. “Having a structure now for a national collegiate competitive series, league, and events, Capcom and ESPORTSU are building a phenomenal ecosystem and mechanism for developing up and coming Street Fighter 6 competitors.”

More details on the College Street Fighter Tour will be shared later this year.

CSMG welcomes 84 teams (up from 64 in 2023) this weekend from a record breaking 19 conference champions to the largest scholastic esports festival globally. They will compete at Esports Stadium Arlington on May 3-5 for the chance to hoist one of the coveted trophies. Fans can watch the CECC Texas on ESPORTSU’s Twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/esportsu.

CECC Texas 2023 was also recently awarded LAN Event of the Year during the inaugural Scholars Awards in Las Vegas, which are produced in partnership with the Esports Awards.
