Voxbet launches industry-first, voice-activated betting with the At The Races app to boost UX ahead of Cheltenham
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.”

On May 14, 2026, 1spin4win reached a significant milestone — five years on the iGaming market. The anniversary motto, The Gold Standard of Classic Slots, reflects the studio’s evolution into a recognized name in the classic slot niche, built on years of industry expertise and commitment to delivering authentic gambling experiences.
Today, its portfolio features more than 200 games combining timeless appeal, advanced mathematics, and strong performance. In 2025, 1spin4win achieved a 52.06% increase in bet count and a 56.62% rise in GGR compared to 2024. This growth has helped the provider earn the trust of over 1,000 global operators, including leading brands such as SOFTSWISS, EveryMatrix, Alea, SoftGaming, Digitain, and BetConstruct.
As part of the milestone celebration, 1spin4win introduces Lucky 1spin4win Hold and Win, a special slot highlighting the studio’s landmark titles and renowned characters. Alongside traditional fruit, bells, and sevens, the colorful 3×3 grid features Wild symbols shaped as red bezel-set diamonds. When activated, they illuminate the “5 Years” sign, reinforcing the game’s anniversary theme.
The celebratory atmosphere continues through the slot’s rewarding features. Landing nine identical symbols doubles the win, while three or more Coins trigger the exciting Hold and Win Bonus round. With three starting respins, players get the chance to claim two festive Jackpots — the x100 Minipot Coin and the x1000 Megapot.
To mark the 5-year anniversary, 1spin4win is also launching special promotional campaigns in collaboration with Olymp and Selector. To give players additional opportunities to join the celebration, the partners will distribute exclusive promo codes, which will also be available to the registered users of the provider’s Players Room platform.
Olga Hlukhovskaya, Business Development Director at 1spin4win, commented, “Five years in the industry is an important testament to how far 1spin4win has come. Since 2021, we’ve grown into an acknowledged iGaming brand trusted by top global companies. Looking ahead, we plan to keep expanding across African and Latin American markets, deepen our relationships with regional operators, and further strengthen our presence in Europe. For us, this anniversary is not only about celebrating past achievements, but also about building the next stage of 1spin4win’s journey.

The game’s design brings together iconic characters and signature symbols from our previous releases, well-known to both our players and partners. The result is a vibrant product featuring engaging Hold and Win mechanics and the recognizable 1spin4win classic style.

Stake releases Zoo casino game: a fast, multiplayer Stake Original where players bet on the wild side
A new live-round Stake Original where every player bets on the same outcome – six animals, a 20-tile track, three results per round, and wins up to 1,000x in play.
Stake, the world’s largest online casino and sportsbook, has today launched its Zoo casino game, a new multiplayer Stake Original that brings every player into the same live round to bet on six animals across a 20-tile track. Available worldwide on Stake, Zoo is the latest title to join the growing Stake Originals collection.
Zoo takes the shared-round excitement that has made games like Crash a Stake Originals staple and pairs it with simpler, more visual decision-making. Each round, six animals – Lion, Cheetah, Elephant, Crocodile, Rhino, and Penguin – appear on a 20-tile circular track, with each animal showing up a different number of times to create clear volatility tiers and payout differences across the board. Players have ten seconds to back one or more animals before the track spins up and locks in three result tiles in the center of the screen.
Zoo launches with a 98% RTP, a top multiplier of 1,000x per round, and full auto bet controls that let players preset their wager amount, number of rounds, and chosen animals. Designed as a simpler, more visual evolution of popular casino games like Roulette and Sic Bo, Zoo strips back the complexity without compromising on depth. The rarer the animal, the bigger the reward – Lion and Cheetah each appear only once on the track, Elephant and Crocodile twice, Rhino four times, and Penguin ten, giving players a clear read on the risk and payout of every play. With three result tiles drawn each round, players win based on how many times their chosen animal lands across all three.
“Zoo is exactly the kind of game we want Stake Originals to be known for – fast, simple to pick up, and genuinely fun to play in an online setting filled with other players. There’s real tension in watching the three tiles land for the whole table at once, and we think players are going to find their favourite animals pretty quickly,” said Stake’s Chief Marketing Officer, Akhil Sarin.
Zoo joins a growing line-up of in-house multiplayer game creations on Stake Casino, with the goal of keeping every Stake Original easy to learn, quick to play, and a little bit different from anything else in the iGaming industry.
