Duelbits adds Same Game Parlay for soccer player props and World Cup betting
New SGP lets users combine up to 10 same-match selections plus 10 across multiple events on desktop and mobile.
Duelbits has launched Same Game Parlay (SGP), adding a sportsbook feature that lets players combine multiple player and match markets within a single bet slip. The company said the initial rollout is focused on soccer and World Cup betting and is available on desktop and mobile.
The SGP product supports same-match combinations across player props including goals, shots, shots on target, assists, cards, fouls, tackles and goalkeeper saves, alongside match and team markets such as match winner, goals, corners and shots. Duelbits also said users can build parlays across multiple events where SGP markets are available.
Duelbits positioned the launch as a fix for bet combinations being rejected or marked invalid, saying the feature is powered by a specialist player props and statistics provider to reduce rejected selections and streamline odds updates and settlement. At launch, players can include up to 10 selections within a single event and a further 10 selections across multiple events, with plans to expand those limits in future updates.
Jasper Hoekert, Chief Marketing Officer at Duelbits, said: “Same Game Parlays have become one of the most popular sportsbook products globally, particularly as player prop betting continues to grow across major sports. We saw a clear opportunity to improve the experience available to our players by offering significantly more combinations, reducing invalid bet rejections, and creating a smoother betting journey overall.
“This initial launch is focused on soccer and the World Cup, but it’s only the first step. Our long-term vision is to allow customers to combine virtually any market they want across sports, events and player props, with US sports being the main focus for phase 2. We believe there is a significant gap in the crypto sportsbook market for this type of offering, and we’re excited to continue expanding the product over the coming months.”
