BETBY Launches Watch & Bet to Merge Live Streaming With In-Play Markets
TL;DR — BETBY launched Watch & Bet to combine live streaming and in-play betting in one view, cutting friction for users. World Cup data showed 44.79% higher GGR, 24.3% more bets and 32.53% higher stakes for streaming players. The adaptive tool works across devices and event types.
SCCG Take — Operators can use this style of integration to lift in-play handle where attention is highest. Product teams will likely prioritize similar low-friction designs to compete on live engagement metrics.
BETBY has launched Watch & Bet, a feature that embeds live streaming and betting markets inside a single interface on the sportsbook event page. Players access selected live odds and actions directly within the video player for supported official streams. This removes the need to switch views during events.
The design surfaces relevant betting options as play unfolds. Operators gain a direct path to higher interaction with in-play content at moments of peak attention. BETBY‘s World Cup analysis showed players with live streaming access produced 44.79 per cent higher GGR per player, placed 24.3 per cent more bets and posted a 32.53 per cent higher average stake than those without such access, according to reporting by G3 Newswire.
Adaptive Controls Across Devices and Event Types
A flexible video module lets users reposition the stream, dock it to one side or hide it completely. The layout adjusts automatically for desktop and mobile screens, keeping the video visible on mobile while players browse markets or the betslip. Support spans traditional sports, esports and Betby Games, with markets updating in line with event stage.
Immediate Interaction Gains for Live Betting
Kirill Nekrasov, Head of Innovation and R&D at BETBY, said: “Live betting is nowadays one of the most engaging parts of the sportsbook experience, and Watch & Bet is designed to make that interaction feel much more immediate. By bringing the stream, markets and betting actions into the same environment, we are removing unnecessary steps from the player journey while giving operators another powerful way to maximise engagement around live events. The flexibility of the video experience also puts players in control of how they want to follow the action and interact with the sportsbook.”
The launch focuses on tightening the link between content consumption and wagering without adding separate navigation layers.
