Following the successful launch of PandaScore’s revamped Widget 2.0 product, leading esports data and odds supplier PandaScore has rolled out an esports-specific BetBuilder product.

The innovation allows PandaScore’s global customer base the ability to offer catered, more engaging betting opportunities for each individual esport. On CSGO, League of Legends and Dota 2, users will be able to bet on markets from the same match, on odds modelled uniquely for BetBuilder, rather than simple combinations or multiplication.

Operators who have embraced the PandaScore BetBuilder have seen a significant boost to the performance of their esports betting vertical – the product delivers margin performance in the double digits.

PandaScore’s Player Props markets, where fans can bet on their favourite players to top the kill count also benefits from the BetBuilder product – fans can factor in a specific player scoring the most kills alongside their team winning to create a betting experience that’s a game within a game.
Further, it’s been established that on average, esports bettors bet smaller amounts than traditional sports bettors, but they have a greater spread – preferring to place money on multiple individual stakes. The main motivator behind this isn’t chasing the best possible return, but because esports players bet because it’s a wrapper to the entertainment experience.

Now fans can place multiple bets on the same game through PandaScore’s BetBuilder, enriching their whole betting experience, encouraging deeper levels of engagement, and building their own stories for their favourite esports matches. The operators can create campaigns from upcoming exciting player versus player match-ups in the most anticipated matches, and leverage the same-match player props markets in the BetBuilder.

“As soon as we integrated PandaScore’s BetBuilder, it exceeded our expectations. The users fell in love with the feature right away,” stated CSGO500’s Sportsbook Manager. The possibility to bet on multiple markets within the same match is hugely sought after among the esports betting community and it gives us a massive competitive advantage to have the dedicated esports BetBuilder already live.

“Ever since launching the product we’ve noticed a vast increase in the betting volume, and the margins have been hitting double digits, which is all we’ve ever wanted.”

Commenting on the latest product to launch, PandaScore CEO Flavien Guillocheau commented, “We’re excited to roll out BetBuilder with more partners as they can give esports fans the in-depth, rich experiences they want and expect when they bet on esports.

Emmy-Winning Director R.J. Cutler’s Docuseries Esports World Cup: Level Up Premieres June 6 on Prime Video

Prime Video, one of the leading entertainment destinations, will premiere the five-part documentary Esports World Cup: Level Up on June 6, with new episodes released weekly. Directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker R.J. Cutler (Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry, Elton John: Never Too Late and Martha), the series goes behind-the-scenes of the inaugural Esports World Cup (EWC) in 2024 — a defining moment in global esports, where over $60 million in prize money ignited a high-stakes, multinational battle to crown the world’s top esports Club.

The series is produced by This Machine (a part of Sony Pictures Television), with R.J. Cutler directing, John Dorsey serving as showrunner, and Jane Cha Cutler, Trevor Smith, Elise Pearlstein and Mark Blatty executive producing. Level Up will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Esports World Cup: Level Up offers a rare look inside a global competition that’s redefining what it means to be a champion for a new generation of athletes and fans. R.J. Cutler and his team of expert storytellers embedded themselves within the eight-week tournament – watched by over 500 million fans globally – to uncover the personal sacrifices, rivalries and stakes driving the action.

Shot in verité style, the series combines intimate home visits from around the world and on-the-ground coverage from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It follows a wide cast of characters – from Club CEOs orchestrating million-dollar strategies to rising stars chasing life-changing wins – while capturing the pulse of elite esports competition.

“What drew me to the Esports World Cup was the compelling human stories unfolding within this high-stakes arena. Level Up isn’t just about the incredible competition and prize money; it’s about the dedication, the passion, and the sheer will of these athletes and teams pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Under high pressure, we discover the true character of the competitors who vie for $60 million, but who also expose their humanity in the process,” said Cutler.

At the heart of Level Up is the “EWC Club Championship,” an unprecedented, multi-title tournament format where Clubs compete across more than 20 games, earning points toward a single leaderboard. Every match, every point, reshapes the race for global dominance. With the highest prize pool in esports history on the line, the EWC is not just a tournament – it’s a proving ground for the next generation of sports icons.

“A win might make the headlines — but the real story is the people behind it. Level Up dives into the human side of esports: the pressure, the ambition, the sacrifices. It’s about what it really takes to compete at the highest level — and why it matters. R.J. is the best at bringing those stories to life, and this one captures the heart of what we’re building,” said Ralf Reichert, CEO of the Esports World Cup Foundation.

“It allows operators to engage esports fans and bettors with a compelling product and proposition, but without the degree of risk that comes with standard betting as the payouts are controlled.
