INCENTIVE GAMES AND BET365 TEAM UP TO LAUNCH TWO NEW GAMES AHEAD OF SUMMER OF FOOTBALL
In a collaboration with globally renowned online gambling operator bet365, leading B2B games provider and acquisition and retention specialists, Incentive Games, have announced the release of two new games for both international football tournaments taking place this summer.
The ‘Euro Finals Group Stage Predictor’ and ‘Copa Finals Group Stage Predictor’ are the latest in a long line of free-to-play products offered by bet365, crafted by the expert team at Incentive Games.
Launching just in time for the start of both iconic tournaments, this innovative partnership taps into Incentive Labs’ expertise in creating bespoke player experiences. The game offers an exciting way for fans to engage with the action and potentially win a share of a massive prize pool.
Group Stage Predictor puts you in the manager’s seat. Players can predict the outcome (win, lose, draw) of every group match in both the Euro and Copa finals. Users can also edit their predictions any time for matches that haven’t yet kicked off.
Each correct pick will earn players points, with a gradually increasing point value as the tournament progresses (10 points for Match Day 1, 20 points for Match Day 2, and 30 points for Match Day 3). The more games users get right, the higher they climb on the leader board. Each game offers an incredible jackpot of £1 million for the ultimate football savant who correctly predicts the outcome of every game.
Victoria Harnett, Product Lead at Incentive Games said, “We’re so proud to once again join forces with bet365 to deliver bespoke and truly industry-leading gaming experiences to their users. This partnership is a testament to the power of collaboration and our shared vision of redefining free-to-play experiences, making them more engaging and, ultimately, more rewarding.”
The collaboration between Incentive Games and bet365 marks a significant step forward in the personalisation of free-to-play experiences within the iGaming industry, leveraging AI to create a more engaging and rewarding experience for players.
A bet365 spokesperson said: “With excitement growing for this summer’s European Championships and Copa America, we’re delighted to launch the ‘Group Stage Predictor’ game for each, in collaboration with Incentive Games. The latest in our portfolio of engaging free-to-play games, we’re confident that football fans will enjoy testing their prediction skills against fellow fans.”

QTech Games wins Leader in Online Casino at SBEA+ Eventus Awards 2026
QTech Games has won the Leader in Online Casino award at the Annual Sports Betting East Africa (SBEA+) 2026 Summit in Nairobi, Kenya.
The company said it beat other shortlisted suppliers including SA Gaming, BetConstruct, and DST Gaming. The award is described by the event as recognising the “top all-round online casino platform for innovation, user engagement, and sustained growth” over the past year.
The SBEA+ Eventus Awards focus on the East African igaming and sports betting sector and were presented at a gala ceremony at the Argyle Grand Hotel. QTech Games said the judging period covered 2025/26 and that its aggregation platform performance was ranked highest by the panel.
QTech Games CEO Philip Doftvik said: “We’re thrilled to have walked off with another notable award for the best overall online-casino-platform provision in East Africa. Being shortlisted in such good company was already a result, but victory provides the real validation, particularly after running a great campaign at recent Eventus events in Africa. We’ve been promoting QTech Hybrid, our breakthrough retail solution, to great effect and it’s been fantastic to see that going live with a handful of top-tier clients on this continent has led to such overwhelmingly positive feedback and immediate success cases in the realm of genuine innovation.
“This win is testimony to our diligent team at QTech Games, and to the constantly growing group of innovative suppliers that our platform represents. It’s a truly collaborative effort. We remain committed to rolling out high-quality content that drives revenue for our worldwide partners across Africa and beyond. After all, in today’s marketplace, only premium games of the highest standard will separate you from the crowd, so we were delighted to see the panel acknowledge how our premier platform is delivering across Africa’s eclectic ecosystem. We’ve made our name as the pre-eminent aggregator in these evolving margin markets, delivering localised games that speak to a host of player proclivities. This award win will spur us on to new horizons.”
