1×2 gaming launches sports casino game; Betway links up with talkSport radio

Independent gaming software provider 1×2 gaming launched a new sports betting product, providing a new virtual betting experience made up of more than 160 national league competitions from 146 countries, all in the world of simulation.

The product titled “Virtual Football Pro” will feature real team names from various football leagues around the world with offerings of a number of betting options that bettors normally see in live-action football matches. Be it total match goals or other additional outright markets, Virtual Football Pro provides a pretty cool simulated interpretation of actual football leagues.

“This represents a genuine milestone in the provision of online virtual football,” 1×2 gaming Chief Marketing Officer Kevin Reid said in a statement. “The product provides localized content that will be interesting and compelling to the players in the different geographic locations, and operators will be able to see the benefit of having a data-driven, virtual sports product to complement their existing graphical products.”

It’s still unclear which operator will sign up to get Virtual Football Pro in their libraries but with the immense potential of a simulated virtual football market, it likely would be just be a matter of time before we see the game go live.

Meanwhile, online gambling operator Betway followed up on its massive £20 million deal with  English Premier League club West Ham United by striking an agreement with UK-based sports radio station talkSPORT.

As part of the newly minted partnership between the two sides, Betway’s Alan Algar will get a segment on the station’s “Weekend Sports Breakfast Show” where he will be able to discuss some of Betway’s latest sports betting odds while also giving listeners a first-hand lowdown on the range of betting markets and specials being offered by Betway in that particular time.

The deal is particularly important for Betway, which now has access to a multitude of people who are exposed to talkSPORT. “For a huge number of football supporters across the UK, talkSPORT is the first place they tune into every day for all the latest football news, the company said in a statement. “We are delighted to have teamed up with the station which will give us exposure to this huge pool of sports fans.”
