Gaming Intelligence – South African betting operator Van der Vyver Racing has partnered with gaming software provider BetTech Gaming to launch a new online sportsbook.
Van der Vyver will launch an online and mobile offering under the Playabets.com brand, aiming to expand into the emerging South African iGaming market.
Playabets will offer pre-match and in-play wagering on more than 30 sports, alongside pools and fixed-odds betting on all South African and European horse racing, as well as markets on national lotteries from around the world.
The deal is BetTech’s third partnership with a sub-Saharan gaming company after deals with Uganda’s 256Bet and Durban-based bookmaker Kruger Racing in August last year.
The company’s co-founder and chief commercial offier Mark Bosman said he was “honoured” to have been selected as Playabets’ online and mobile software provider.
“From surfing to water polo and bandy to Aussie rules, we have worked hard with Playabets.com to present players with a wide selection of international betting markets to complement an unbeatable localised offering,” he commented.
