Octoplay Goes Live with Svenska Spel Sport&Casino, Expanding Swedish Presence
Octoplay continues its rapid European expansion by going live with Sweden’s state-owned Svenska Spel Sport&Casino. This strategic partnership marks another milestone in Octoplay’s growth trajectory, bringing its innovative game portfolio to Svenska Spel Sport&Casino´s extensive player base.
The collaboration expands Octoplay’s reach in the Swedish market just months after its initial launch in the region. With active licenses in the UK, Sweden, Malta, Ontario, Greece, Romania, Slovakia, Denmark, and Italy, Octoplay builds on its rapid growth across regulated markets. The company also recently kicked off its North American expansion by obtaining a provisional license in Michigan.
Octoplay’s sustained momentum in regulated markets is highlighted by partnerships with market leaders in each jurisdiction, including WilliamHill in the UK, BetMGM in Ontario, MicroGame in Italy, and Nike in Slovakia. These collaborations showcase the company’s popularity among major operators in regulated markets.
“Our partnership with Svenska Spel Sport&Casino represents a significant step in our expansion strategy,” says Ralitsa Georgieva, Director of Business Development at Octoplay. “By partnering with market leaders like Svenska Spel Sport&Casino, we continue our commitment to delivering high-quality gaming experiences to players across regulated markets.”
Niklas Örtbrant, Head of Online Casino at Svenska Spel Sport&Casino, adds: “The addition of Octoplay’s portfolio enhances our gaming offering, bringing innovative and engaging content that our players demand. Their track record in regulated markets and commitment to quality made this partnership a natural choice for us.”
The integration with Svenska Spel Sport&Casino underscores the growing demand for its premium gaming experiences. The company’s innovative portfolio has attracted significant attention from operators across Europe, driving Octoplay’s continued growth.

BETBY ENHANCES ESPORTS EXPERIENCE WITH EXPANDED OUTRIGHTS AND PLAYER PROPS PORTFOLIO
BETBY, a premium sportsbook provider, has released a major update to its esports portfolio, introducing an unmatched selection of new outrights and player prop markets. With these additions, BETBY now offers three times more outright options than the market average and a completely unique range of player-specific betting markets, setting a new standard for player engagement opportunities through esports content.
BETBY’s expanded outright offerings deliver diversity and unmatched depth in the industry. For instance when it comes to Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), bettors can now access markets that go beyond the standard winners and most played maps, with new betting markets such as Tournament Most Valuable Player (MVP), Magnum Sniper Rifle (AWP) Kill Comparisons, and numerous others now available. In Dota, unique markets like Most Popular Hero (Picks + Bans) and Hero with Highest Kill Death Assist (KDA) provide a more engaging and data-driven betting experience. These markets are updated throughout the entirety of tournaments, ensuring players can place bets during breaks occurring between game days or stages. The update extends beyond Dota and CS2, as BETBY now offers unique outright markets as well for games like Escape from Tarkov: Arena and Standoff 2 – content which is currently not being offered elsewhere in the esports landscape.
The second significant enhancement is the introduction of a much broader esports player props portfolio, which is entirely developed by BETBY’s team of expert traders. This allows players to place bets on individual performances across all S-Tier, A-Tier, B-Tier, and C-Tier tournaments for main esports disciplines, and not only on the occurrence of major events.
These additions further bolster BETBY’s esports portfolio, following a series of major updates that underline the company’s focus on innovation and its dedication to providing engaging content for its partners and their end-users.
Kirill Nekrasov, Head of BETBY Games, commented: “We decided to accelerate the launch of new outrights and player prop markets for esports because we see a gap in the industry. We wanted to develop our own solutions and noticed that even though providers offer classic pre-tournament outrights, none of them provide continuously updated outrights when the events are in progress. Regarding player props, it’s relatively new content as part of our esports feed. If we talk about traditional sports, like soccer or basketball, it’s the standard for the industry. But I foresee that when it comes to esports it will as well be an absolute must-have in the future, with the performance and statistics of teams and players now becoming more widely available. Despite the fact that player props are not a new thing in the esports industry, these markets are offered only throughout top-tier tournaments and only for a limited number of teams. What we did was push this feature not only for top tournaments, but also B-Tier and C-Tier tournaments, whilst at the same time broadening player props coverage to a wider teams coverage.”
BETBY will be showcasing its premium sportsbook solutions and services at the upcoming ICE 2025 in Barcelona.
