Industry-leading provider of next-gen betting content and gaming solutions BETER, has promoted Maria Mashchenko to the role of General Manager of the BETER Sports business unit.
For the last 2 years Maria has held the role of COO and been responsible for the company’s development of in-house, outsourced and franchised sports and esports tournaments, taking them to a whole new level through various collaborations with prominent sports and esports organisations. This in turn expanded the number of available disciplines and undoubtedly sparked the interest and propelled the growth of this vertical within the iGaming community.
Maria’s new role is reflective of the company’s strategy to strengthen each product vertical by building dedicated teams of people who are passionate about sports and esports.
As it stands today, the BETER Sports vertical currently includes table tennis discipline. Table tennis matches of the Setka Cup tournaments are one of the most popular events, chalking up more than 13M views per month around the world.

Maria Mashchenko, Sports General Manager at BETER said: “ BETER Sports is a product that has grown in strength. When the company first launched in 2018, it only offered 1 table tennis table back in Kyiv and today, we offer 13 different sports arenas across 4 different countries, which is something I’m extremely proud to have been involved in.
“I believe that this is just the start for BETER Sports and together with our sports team we’ll be able to offer even more industry leading content that I’m so excited to be a part of.”

BetConstruct AI Launches Retail Jackpot Engine for Sportsbook – Redefining the Betshop Experience
BetConstruct AI has introduced its Retail Jackpot Engine for Sportsbook, a new solution aimed at enhancing player engagement, increasing footfall, and driving turnover across retail betting environments.
The launch comes as operators seek to evolve beyond transactional betting experiences, with the new engine embedding dynamic jackpot functionality directly into the retail sportsbook ecosystem.
Driving Engagement in Retail Betshops
The Retail Jackpot Engine is designed to create a more immersive and engaging atmosphere in betshops, encouraging players to return more often, spend more time in-store, and interact more deeply with sportsbook offerings.
Flexible and Fully Configurable
A key strength of the solution is its flexibility. Operators can configure jackpot pools at multiple levels, including:
- A single network-wide jackpot
- Individual jackpots per betshop
- Custom clusters based on location or player segments
Trigger mechanisms are equally adaptable, with options for amount-based triggers (activated when jackpots reach a set value) or time-based triggers (released after a defined period). This allows operators to tailor jackpot dynamics to their specific commercial strategies.
Omnichannel Visibility for Maximum Impact
To maximise visibility, real-time jackpot values are displayed across all in-shop touchpoints, including screens, cashier terminals, and self-service kiosks. Additionally, jackpot amounts are printed directly on betting tickets, extending engagement beyond the shop environment.
A Long-Term Retail Growth Tool
Rather than serving as a short-term promotion, the Retail Jackpot Engine is positioned as a strategic solution for sustained retail growth. By increasing repeat visits, session duration, and betting activity, it aims to strengthen both operator revenues and long-term player engagement.
