UK Tote Group goes live with Voxbet’s type-a-bet Viber service
UK Tote Group has signed a new agreement with Voxbet, the pioneer of machine-learning technology that allows customers to speak or type their bets. The partnership will introduce direct betting functionality, courtesy of the leading Viber messaging platform. Accordingly, this deal sees Voxbet Viber go live in the UK and Ireland with UK Tote Group and Tote Ireland customers.
Voxbet‘s platform allows sports bettors to securely and accurately bet by sending their stake and selections in a text message, making it fast and easy to place even complex bets. And this flair for next-generation bet execution has already registered new peaks in fan engagement via the Viber app, whose popular cross-platform instant messaging software continues to gain global market share, having already increasingly become a platform of choice in territories like Asia, LatAm and many Eastern European countries.
Voxbet has proven the power of combining its software with Viber through pre-eminent French operator PMU whose brand, like UK Tote Group, is historically intertwined with horse racing. This Viber optionality has already demonstrated its gateway credentials in that, as players migrated from standard SMS to Viber, their frequency of activity doubled.
By deploying Voxbet‘s industry-leading solution directly through Viber (alongside other existing messaging services already integrated with the firm) UK Tote Group players can back a horse in seconds by speaking or typing its name, or can be helped build a bet with a quick-fire predictive bet builder. Voxbet predicts the most likely results as players type or speak – a feature anyone who has used Google will be familiar with – bolstering Voxbet‘s mission statement as the fastest way to bet.
Voxbet founder and CEO, Jonathan Power, explained: “We’ve discovered that moving customers from SMS (where users bet on average 80 times a month) to Viber doubled their frequency of activity and has seen revenues rise by around 17%. Logically, the ability to bet by voice should now take those engagement rates even higher and appeal to younger customers.
“We can’t think of a more apt partner with whom to explore this functionality than UK Tote Group – a brand, much like our own, which has flourished from its horse racing. It’s an exciting time to be expanding our collaboration and growing our global footprint with them.”
Jamie Hart, Racing Director at UK Tote Group, added: “We’ve been enthusiastic proponents of Voxbet, ever since they first came on to the scene. UK Tote Group is all about adopting new technologies and ideas that improve the digital customer experience for our customers, so this Viber functionality will only enhance that experience by making betting more convenient, simpler and faster.
“Voxbet’s unique tools connect with all types of bettors. I believe voice and text engagement will be very popular.”
Voxbet‘s platform is fast becoming an essential tool for sports betting operators in today‘s messaging-app-centred world. Thanks to the learning derived from processing millions of written bets each month, Voxbet are years ahead in being able to understand spoken bets as well.

Nolimit City revisits the brutal factory life in Outsourced: Slash Game
Nolimit City takes you back to the grind with its latest release, Outsourced: Slash Game. For those who thought their consumerist cravings were a safe indulgence, think again. Following in the footsteps of Outsourced, this new addition pulls back the curtain on the sweat and sacrifice lurking behind those everyday luxuries—this time with a dash of danger. Outsourced: Slash Game is the studio’s second venture into crash-style gameplay, the first being xCrash™ in Skate or Die – but this time it’s a standalone crash game!
In Slash Game, players have to make some cutthroat decisions as a laser traces the outline of their hand, increasing the multiplier with every pass. Players hit “stop” to cash out, locking in the multiplier when they feel the timing is right. After which, they will be shown the potential winnings if they wouldn’t have stopped. But here’s the catch: if players hesitate a second too long and the laser slips, all the winnings are lost. A live scoreboard displays the Top Win, Top Miss and Last Round, so that players can keep track of their previous rounds.
Outsourced: Slash Game is not a familiar Nolimit City slot to some players but could cause some excitement with an increasing multiplier and a maximum payout of 1,500x the base bet. Outsourced: Slash Game, unlike Nolimit City’s high-volatility slots, is rated as ‘Medium Volatility’ but don’t let that fool you as it still includes the risk of losing your hand.
Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “Get back to work, will you? We’re bringing players back to the unrelenting factory floor of Outsourced with an all-new twist. Slash Game is a standalone take on our crash-style games, and it’s packed with plenty of heart-stopping moments (and maybe a few hand-stopping ones, too). We’re thrilled with how it turned out and we hope that our fans will be too!“
‘Outsourced: Slash Game’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on November 5th, 2024.

Set sail on a pirate quest with Belatra’s Tortuga Codex
Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has launched its pirate-themed title, Tortuga Codex. This 5×4 slot casts players on a journey on the hunt for untold riches buried on a mysterious island.
A Skull symbol acts as the Wild and will substitute for any other symbol to increase the chances of a win. An intriguing element to the game lies in the Additional Reel feature which sits above the main frame. It’s in sync with the main reels, displaying Wild symbols, special pirate icons, and numbers from one to nine. When three or more bomb Scatters come in, numbers on the Additional Reel become active multipliers in the bonus game. The more Scatters appear, the higher each multiplier value, amplifying the potential winnings.
In the main game, the Wild scatters a random number of Wild symbols onto the reels if there is a Scatter underneath it. When the Bonus Game is hit, the Wild symbol will be replaced by the number 9. Pirate Bob, Pirate Patrick and Pirate Girl symbols replace all minor symbols if there is a Scatter symbol underneath them. These symbols will be replaced by the numbers 8, 7 and 6 respectively.
The Treasure Chest symbol awards players with a random win ranging from 5 to 1000 bets if there is a Scatter symbol under it. This symbol is replaced by the number 5 when the Bonus game begins. A Coin gives the player a win of 10 bets on the game if there is a Scatter symbol underneath it – transforming into the number 4 for the Bonus. All numbers on the Additional Reel that fall out or appear in place of symbols will go into the Bonus Game when three or more Scatters appear on the reels. Hitting four Scatters will increase each number by one, landing five Scatters will increase each number by three – the maximum is nine.
Players trigger the Bonus Game with three or more bomb Scatters. Before it begins, the first and second cells open up on the Additional Reel at the top, then players must choose a chest that contains either a Plus, Multiplier, or a noose, which concludes the round. As players move down through the levels, the multipliers can increase depending on the chest’s bounty – the maximum is 59049x.
Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, said: “Tortuga Codex takes players deep into the perilous seas filled with hidden mysteries, legendary treasures, and ancient artefacts waiting to be uncovered on the reels. The Bonus feature gives players the perfect opportunity to chart a course to winnings.”
