GG.BET has launched Popular Bets, a new platform feature that lets users place bets on ready-made combo selections in a few clicks.
The operator said the “Popular” section on the homepage highlights pre-built combinations based on popular matches and the latest markets. Once a user selects a combo, the full set of selections is automatically added to the bet slip.
According to GG.BET, the combos are generated using “enhanced recommendation algorithms” and built from markets that are popular among gg.bet users. The company said the goal is to reduce the time customers spend building selections and make the betting flow “easier and more accessible” for both experienced and newer bettors.
The update follows other recent product changes on the platform, including the launch of Bet Builder, which GG.BET said allows users to combine multiple markets within one match across both sports and esports.

22Bet Partners Introduces The Winner’s League — An Affiliate Competition Built for Football Season
As the football world prepares for its biggest stage, 22Bet Partners is warming up with a competition of its own.
In anticipation of the upcoming World Cup, the affiliate program has announced “The Winner’s League”, a limited-time campaign designed to reward new partners who bring winning traffic during the most exciting period of the football calendar.
Being a brand deeply rooted in the global sports scene, 22Bet has long aligned its identity with the energy, competition, and global passion surrounding football. The new campaign reflects that same spirit — turning affiliate performance into a league of its own.
Running from April 15 to June 15, The Winner’s League invites new affiliates to step onto the field, compete for performance-based rewards, and secure boosted revenue share conditions ahead of the football season’s peak traffic period.
For traffic owners focused on Tier-1, Tier-2 markets, the campaign offers a straightforward challenge: bring players, reach milestones, and climb the reward ladder.

The promotion is available exclusively to new partners who register and meet the campaign requirements during the promotional period.
To participate, affiliates must:
- Register in the 22Bet Partners affiliate program
- Drive traffic from eligible Tier-1, Tier-2 regions
(For detailed GEO information, partners are encouraged to contact their affiliate managers.) - Generate verified First Time Deposits (FTDs) during the campaign period
Only traffic that complies with the program’s official rules and conditions will be considered eligible.

100 FTDs

Playing the Long Game
For affiliates who treat performance marketing like a competitive sport, the timing of the campaign is no coincidence.
Major football tournaments historically bring some of the highest engagement levels in sports betting, and 22Bet Partners is positioning its affiliate network to capture that momentum early.
With The Winner’s League, the message is simple: the football season is approaching, the audience is warming up, and the field is open for new players.
For affiliates ready to compete, the league has already begun.
