BETER launches its next-gen content with 10bet

Provider’s premium esports products to engage operator’s players with non-stop fast-betting action across eFootball and eBasketball
BETER, the leading fast-betting content and data provider, has partnered with prominent UK operator 10bet in a deal to supply the latter with its fan-favorite ESportsBattle tournaments.
10bet is an online gambling company with over 20 years of experience in creating top-notch sports and casino betting products, with a significant presence in South Africa, the UK, and other regions.
The agreement has allowed 10bet to add BETER’s proprietary ESportsBattle tournaments to its offering, providing players with access to round-the-clock fast-betting action. Initially, the operator will launch with eFootball and eBasketball, with the option to add eHockey and CS2 at a later date.
The integration was done via Playtech which joined forces with BETER earlier this year to provide its operator partners with access to BETER’s full portfolio of content.
ESportsBattle tournaments set the benchmark for esports betting, offering more than 35,000 events per month with up to 50 markets per event. Live streaming is available 24/7/365 so that bettors can enjoy non-stop action with a 7.5%+ average margin for operators.
Gal Ehrlich, CEO at BETER, said: “10bet is a high calibre operator with strong presence in a range of key markets such as the UK and South Africa. These are highly competitive markets where sportsbooks must offer a top player experience to stand out from their rivals.
“This partnership allows 10bet to do just that by providing its players with access to our 24/7 fast-betting content, which is proven to enhance player engagement to the next level.
“Our esports products offer non-stop betting on popular disciplines such as eFootball and eBasketball, which the operator can now use to strengthen its content offering to players.”
Chuck Robinson, CRO at BETER, added: “BETER is on a roll in terms of signing deals with top-flight operators in core markets worldwide, with 10bet being the latest addition to our roster of partners.
“We have pioneered the fast-betting format, and our premium esports content provides the round-the-clock action the next generation of players seeks while ensuring a stable, industry-leading margin for our operator partners.
“We are thrilled to see our content live with 10bet and look forward to a fruitful cooperation.”
Yuval Klein, Spokesperson at 10bet, said: “We go to great lengths to offer our bettors the best online betting experience in the market, and the addition of BETER’s ESportsBattle tournaments is a testament to this. Bettors now demand fast-betting action, and BETER’s content successfully delivers this.”

Skyesports Wraps Up Gaming Thiruvizha – Chennai Edition With 17,000+ Fans in Attendance

Skyesports, the premier global IP and community builder, has successfully wrapped up the first-ever edition of Gaming Thiruvizha at the Chennai Trade Centre on August 30–31, bringing together more than 17,000 fans across two unforgettable days of gaming, anime, stand-up comedy, cosplay, music, and culture.
Gaming Thiruvizha turned out to be more than an event as it became a two-day carnival. From esports showdowns at LAN zones to cosplay walks, live stand-up, and Tamil cultural showcases, the Chennai crowd transformed the Trade Centre into a festival that truly belonged to them. Fans didn’t just attend; they stayed, celebrated, and created memories together.
The audience mix was as vibrant as the festival itself: college students, families, and kids all came together, proving that gaming and anime are no longer niche hobbies, but shared cultural movements.
Powered by AMD, with ticketing exclusively on KYN, Gaming Thiruvizha was hosted in association with the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu (SDAT) and supported by AGS Cinemas as the Chennai Edition Theatre Partner.
Commenting on the conclusion of the Gaming Thiruvizha, Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO, Skyesports, said, “We couldn’t have asked for a better first edition of the Gaming Mahotsav. The energy of the crowd and the diversity of the audience reminded us why we built this IP — to bridge the gap between casual gamers and esports, and to create a space where gaming, anime, and culture thrive together. Next up, we will be bringing the concept to Bangalore in late September,” said Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO of Skyesports.
The festival also welcomed dignitaries including Meghantha Reddy (Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu), Darez A. (MD, Guidance Tamil Nadu), and Gayathri Thyagarajan (Founder & CEO, Kynhood Technologies), underlining the growing recognition of gaming and esports as part of Tamil Nadu’s cultural and creative economy.
Highlights of the event include:
- LAN tournaments across BGMI, Valorant, and other titles, with fans cheering players on in true stadium style.
- A pan-India Cosplay competition bringing cosplayers from across the country with stunning costumes judged by top creators and anime experts.
- Red Bull Armageddon, India’s first all-Armageddon format chess tournament, brought together over 350 players in Chennai with International Master Tania Sachdev and Grandmaster M. Shyam Sundar leading the action.
- Merch alleys buzzing with anime and gaming collectibles alongside local Tamil art.
- Stand-out experiential booths and meet-and-greets with Team Tamilas, Autobotz Esports, and Welt Esports.
- PVR Cinemas set up local food experience stalls for attendees
With India on track to reach 700 million gamers by 2027, and anime/cosplay engagement skyrocketing across social media, Gaming Thiruvizha demonstrated that hyperlocal, immersive festivals are the way forward.
Gaming Thiruvizha is the first chapter of Skyesports’ Gaming Mahotsav, a six-city touring pop culture festival with regional editions in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kochi, and Pune. Each stop blends gaming, anime, music, comics, and local culture into one cohesive community celebration.
