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.”

Esportes da Sorte has renewed its official sponsorship of the Parintins Folklore Festival for the 2026 edition
Esportes da Sorte has renewed its official sponsorship of the Parintins Folklore Festival for the 2026 edition.
The brand reinforces its strategy of promoting Brazilian culture after fostering an exchange between the North and Northeast regions during the Pernambuco Carnival.
Esportes da Sorte announced the renewal of its official sponsorship of the Parintins Folklore Festival for the 2026 edition.
Scheduled to take place from June 26 to 28, the event is part of the brand’s strategy to strengthen Brazilian cultural expressions and support the regional creative economy.
The continuation of the partnership follows a cycle of cultural integration promoted by the company over the past year.
In 2026, the group brought artistic references from the Parintins Festival to Recife Carnival by inviting Amazonian visual artist Iran Martins to design the brand’s parade float at Galo da Madrugada.
The project incorporated movement mechanisms and aesthetic elements inspired by the “bumbás” universe into the visual language of frevo.
Beyond brand exposure, the investment in Parintins is part of a positioning strategy focused on valuing Brazilian cultural identity and strengthening initiatives with strong regional ties.
“Our presence in Parintins goes beyond a branding action. It is a commitment to valuing Brazilian culture and the professionals who drive this creative ecosystem.
By bringing together references from the Parintins Festival and Recife Carnival, we show how different cultural expressions in the country can dialogue and create new connections.
We want to continue expanding this impact and contribute to keeping the bumbá tradition strong,” said Marcela Campos, Vice President of Grupo Esportes Gaming Brasil, owner of Esportes da Sorte.
Economic growth and new Bumbódromo
The Parintins Festival 2026 is expected to generate around R$193.2 million, a projected 5% increase compared to the previous edition. The forecast also includes approximately 30,000 direct and indirect jobs, as well as the arrival of around 126,000 tourists.
The audience will be welcomed in the new Bumbódromo, a structure with capacity for up to 25,000 people per day, which will become part of the festival’s expansion in the coming years.
Esportes da Sorte
Esportes da Sorte is one of Brazil’s leading sports betting platforms, with 100% national operations and a license granted by the Ministry of Finance (SPA/MF) to Esportes Gaming Brasil — the group that also owns the Onabet and Lottu brands.
The company is part of a Great Place to Work certified group and generates around 1,000 direct and indirect jobs. Its pillars include innovation, commitment to responsible gaming, and support for sector regulation.
It maintains strategic partnerships with institutions such as ANJL, IBIA, Sportradar, EBAC, and IAA, strengthening control practices, problem gambling prevention, and user protection.
In addition to sports betting, Esportes da Sorte invests consistently in sports, culture, and social projects. It is a master sponsor of clubs such as Corinthians, Ceará, Ferroviária, and Náutico, as well as supporting major cultural events like Galo da Madrugada, Carnival celebrations in cities such as Recife, Olinda, Salvador, Maceió, Natal, Caicó, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, and the Parintins Festival. The brand also expands its digital presence through creative campaigns and influencer partnerships, strengthening its connection with audiences across online platforms.
