BETBY Brings SlotBets to Life With Real-Time Sports Data
Malta.- 7 October 2026 | www.zonadeazar.com BETBY has revealed further details about SlotBets, its hybrid product category combining slot-style mechanics with outcomes determined by live sports data.
During a dedicated presentation at SBC Summit Lisbon, the company demonstrated how the product is designed to connect two audiences that traditionally remain separate: sportsbook customers and casino players.
Real Data Instead of RNG
The key difference behind SlotBets is that outcomes are not generated by a random number generator.
In SlotBasketball, each approximately 15-second round is determined using data from a live basketball match.
The experience therefore maintains a slot-style interface while keeping the result anchored to real sporting action.
SlotBasketball as the First Product
BETBY used SlotBasketball to demonstrate the format.
The game translates match events and data into a reel-based experience, providing familiar casino-style presentation without removing the underlying sports connection.
RTP Between 93% and 94%
SlotBets operates with a Return to Player of between 93% and 94%.
BETBY is seeking to combine the speed and visual appeal of slots with the emotional engagement associated with following a live sporting event.
Bridging Sportsbook and Casino
BETBY sees cross-sell between verticals as one of the major challenges facing operators.
Sportsbook and casino customers often display different behaviours, making it difficult to move users between the two.
SlotBets was developed specifically to act as a bridge between those audiences.
Flexible Widget
The product has been built as a widget that can be deployed across different areas of an operator platform.
It can be positioned within:
- Sportsbook.
- Casino.
- Homepage.
- Affiliate environments.
The flexible format is intended to reduce the need for major new technical integrations.
Monetising the Live Match Tracker
BETBY also sees an opportunity in sportsbook areas that have traditionally served only an informational function.
The live match tracker, for example, occupies valuable screen space but generally produces no direct revenue.
SlotBets can introduce interaction and gameplay into that same area by combining the event, statistics and betting experience.
Easier Deployment
Cubeia Chief Revenue Officer Christian Karlsson said operators are increasingly looking for genuinely different products that can be deployed quickly.
SlotBets has been structured so adoption can often be handled largely through configuration rather than a major standalone integration.
Statements
BETBY Chief Commercial Officer Chris Nikolopoulos said entertainment consumption is moving towards faster and more visual formats.
He explained that SlotBets uses a user experience already familiar to casino customers while keeping outcomes tied to real sporting action.
Already Live With Partners
BETBY confirmed that SlotBets is already live with selected partners.
Early performance has been described as encouraging, with further operator integrations currently under way.
More Games Ahead
SlotBasketball represents the first product within the wider SlotBets Games category.
BETBY expects to launch at least two or three additional titles over the coming months.
Each product will be adapted to the rhythm and structure of its specific sport.
Industry Context
Sportsbook and casino continue to converge within digital entertainment.
Operators are looking for formats that can increase engagement, monetise existing traffic more effectively and create new cross-sell opportunities.
Hybrid products are emerging as one route for suppliers seeking to reduce the traditional separation between the two verticals.
Next Steps or Impact
BETBY will continue expanding SlotBets through additional sports and further operator integrations.
Its ability to sit within existing sportsbook spaces while using real-time sports data is designed to turn traditionally informational areas into new surfaces for interaction and monetisation.
If early performance is sustained, SlotBets could develop into a distinct category between sportsbook and online casino.
