Kirill Nekrasov details how BETBY’s SlotBets uses live sports data to power casino mechanics, boosting interaction every 15 seconds. It enables cross-sell, monetizes match trackers, and extends to esports for 24/7 availability. Prior products like Betby Games now deliver 15% of BETBY GGR.
SCCG Take — Operators gain tools to connect siloed audiences and convert passive event pages into active revenue without workflow disruption. Track adoption against BETBY’s history of turning unconventional concepts into material GGR contributors.
BETBY has developed SlotBet Games to address separation between sportsbook and casino audiences while reducing passive time during live events. In an interview with SBC News, Kirill Nekrasov, Head of Innovation and R&D at BETBY, detailed the product’s mechanics and operator benefits. The core distinction lies in real-time integration: live sports action directly drives game outcomes rather than serving as decoration around RNG casino play.
For established sportsbook users, SlotBets adds interaction throughout events. Updates occur every 15 seconds, converting post-bet viewing into continuous entertainment suited to shorter attention spans. Nekrasov noted this layer keeps players engaged beyond initial wagers.
Nekrasov identified multiple revenue layers. Cross-sell opportunities arise because the product fits both sportsbook and casino environments. Short play cycles support higher betting frequency and longer sessions. The match tracker represents a key use case: operators can replace passive information displays with interactive gameplay in the same screen space, monetizing real estate without diverting users from the event.
SlotBets operates as both a live-event enhancer in sportsbooks and an accessible sports entry point in casinos. It requires no new interface for casino-first players and holds retail potential. Nekrasov stated the goal is a hybrid category that sits between verticals rather than belonging strictly to one.
Basketball leads real-sport integration, demonstrating how live events feed gameplay. BETBY is extending the concept to esports using its proprietary feed, with titles including SlotSoccer, SlotCricket, SlotHockey, and SlotPingPong in progress. Esports supplies 24/7 availability to offset seasonal gaps in traditional sports calendars.
Nekrasov acknowledged no guarantee exists that players will adopt the new format. Success depends on whether the experience becomes normalized. Confidence draws from prior innovations: Betby Games now contributes around 15% of BETBY’s total GGR after entering as an unconventional proposition. Similar logic produced fixed-odds prediction market feeds. Innovation at the supplier begins with identified operator and player frictions rather than invention for its own sake. The hoped-for user reaction is immediate recognition that the live-reel combination feels obvious.
