BetCaller is the sector’s first voice-activated betting and digital navigation tool – and it’s Festival-ready

Voxbet, the leading technology company which enables sports bettors to speak their bets, has gone live on the At The Races app ahead of The Cheltenham Festival. At The Races has branded its service BetCaller, and it’s the industry’s first voice-activated betting and digital navigation tool.

BetCaller allows users to place bets quickly and easily using voice recognition. It effortlessly sorts through myriad horses across tens of daily racecards, mapping upcoming action from all UK and Irish racecourses, alongside international racing from North and South America, Hong Kong, France, South Africa and Australia.

Voxbet’s voice-recognition software automatically picks up any horse’s name, alongside the requested bet type and bet stake, and then BetCaller sends users a pre-populated betting slip with their details to confirm.

The result is a seamless service which solves for a host of sportsbook problems. After all, navigation of any sportsbook invariably involves a lot of clicks, with a range of tabs, drop-down menus and derivative markets often acting as obstacles to placing or even locating your preferred market, selection or bet.

BetCaller also accounts for regional dialectal variations and mispronunciations thanks to its machine-learning algorithms whose pinpoint accuracy only improves as they assimilate more vocal data.

The tool searches and verifies against all runners listed on the At The Races app (specifically, horses entered in races within the next 48-hour window) and can execute popular multi-bets – such as Yankees, Trixies and Lucky 15s – alongside standard Win and Each-way singles.

Matthew Taylor, Director of New Media & Innovation – At The Races, said: “At The Races is all about adopting the latest technologies and ideas to improve the digital customer experience for our loyal racing fans, with the aim of revitalizing a sport we love for both the current generation and the ones to come. We loved the idea of voice-activated betting and are delighted to partner with Voxbet to launch BetCaller onto our app.”

Sam Boswell, Head of Sponsorship at BetVictor, added: “We are delighted to partner with At The Races to deliver a modern way to bet for those using BetCaller on the ATR app. Innovating and improving the customer journey are both key to our business and how we think as an organisation. We loved the idea behind BetCaller and cannot wait to see the result and feedback from our customers in the coming weeks.”

Jonathan Power, Founder and MD of Voxbet, said: “Put succinctly, the new BetCaller functionality enables users to place bets quickly and easily using voice recognition. And this will produce major benefits for racing and wider sports fans by instantly improving their betting and viewing experiences. Needless to say, going live with a brand as renowned and trusted as At The Races brings with it an instant endorsement of Voxbet’s accuracy and speed. We’re thankful to them for their responsive collaboration to get BetCaller out there before an event as consequential as the Cheltenham Festival.

“Voxbet’s early development was intertwined with horse racing, working with great brands like the PMU, William Hill, Paddy Power and Betsson. We reasoned: if we can get our speech-recognition software right for the nuanced and jargon-heavy world of betting on racing, all other sports would swiftly follow suit! And so it’s proving, I’m delighted to say, with soccer and major US sports available, including breakthrough BetBuilders functionality. BetCaller is just the latest example of how Voxbet is getting global sportsbooks up to speed with modern and future trends in ecommerce.

“Ultimately, Voxbet is where simplicity fosters ubiquity. Once placing a bet can be as easy as speaking it, betting by voice will become ubiquitous. And BetCaller is another significant step down that road.”

GoldenRace has launched its next-generation V5 mobile solution, the supplier announced on 1 July 2026 in Malta. The company positions the release as a mobile delivery upgrade for its virtual sports and betting content, aimed at maintaining performance under high player traffic.

According to GoldenRace, V5 consolidates its previous architecture into a single application and “drastically reduces load sizes by 80–90%.” The company also said the platform is built “completely from the ground up” with a unified UI/UX designed to remain responsive across different network conditions.

On product features, GoldenRace said V5 introduces “advanced WebGL capabilities” to support high-fidelity graphics and operator-controlled branding. It also adds native gamification tools across games, including custom Tournaments, Leaderboards and Free Bets.

The company also outlined three mobile upgrades intended to reduce friction in the betting flow: a Lobby with modular layouts and a one-click toggle between scheduled and instant views; a next-generation Betslip with richer visual components and “smart organisation”; and dynamic Leaderboards with configurable funding and custom point logic.

GoldenRace said operators can switch to V5 by “changing a single line of code,” and added that a demo is available for operators evaluating the new mobile solution.

PopOK Gaming has obtained certification for the Portuguese iGaming market, adding Portugal to its list of regulated jurisdictions where it can offer compliant gaming content to licensed operators.

The company said the certification confirms it meets local regulatory and technical requirements and supports its strategy to expand in regulated markets.

PopOK Gaming did not disclose which regulator or test lab issued the certification, which products are covered, or the date the approval was granted.

Portugal continues to operate a ring-fenced regulated online gambling framework, with market access dependent on product approvals and operator licensing. For suppliers, local certification is typically a prerequisite to distribute content to licensed brands.

Replay tool builds on St8’s graphical game round details and launches first with nine casino game studios.

St8 has launched game round replays, adding visual playback of completed casino game rounds to its existing single API platform. The company said the feature is designed to help operators verify outcomes faster and resolve player queries more efficiently.

The new capability builds on St8’s graphical game round details, which it said is already used by operators. With replays, support and operations teams can access a round’s visual playback to investigate gameplay disputes and respond to players with more transparency.

St8 also positioned the feature as a player engagement tool, with operators able to surface notable moments such as big wins and bonus rounds for promotional use.

Game round replays will initially support titles from AvatarUX, BGaming, Endorphina, Hacksaw, Peter & Sons, Pragmatic Play, Scatter Kings, Shady Lady, and Tequity Originals, with more providers to be added. St8 said the feature is delivered through its existing single API integration and requires no additional development work, and is intended to scale across multiple brands and regulated markets.

David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said: “Operators are under increasing pressure to deliver exceptional customer support while keeping operational costs under control. Our graphical game round details have become a trusted and widely used tool for operators, giving support teams quick access to the information they need to resolve player queries efficiently. Game round replays complement this capability by providing a visual playback of each round, helping teams resolve cases even faster and with complete confidence.

“Beyond operational efficiency, the feature also opens up new opportunities for engagement. Operators can showcase exciting gameplay moments, celebrate big wins and create richer player experiences – all through the same integration. Because game round replays are delivered through our existing single API, partners can access this functionality immediately while continuing to benefit from the simplicity and scalability that sit at the heart of the St8 platform.”
