Sportsbet.io launches new chat room functionality

Crypto-first sports betting operator Sportsbet.io has launched a new chat room function as it looks to strengthen its community ties. Club Talk acts as a chat function where Sportsbet.io customers can discuss sports and share bets across both desktop and mobile versions of the sportsbook. Club Talk will also become home to interactions between the user community and featured guests and celebrities as part of the operator’s new Behind the Bet streaming series. Members of the community will be given the opportunity to talk directly with series special guests via the chat room functionality. Additionally, Club Talk users will be afforded exclusive promotions and bonuses ahead of the rescheduled Euro 2020 tournament this summer. Joe McCallum, Sportsbet.io director, said: “Club Talk has quickly become a lively hub of discussion about everything from the latest sporting action to the hottest betting tips. Sportsbet.io users have jumped at the chance to get involved and we’ve built one of the most welcoming communities around.” Elsewhere, the Coingaming Group subsidiary has secured a partnership with free-to-play (F2P) game provider SportCaller. Under the remit of the agreement, SportCaller will launch two exclusive games with Sportsbet.io in the shape of 4-3-free and Bet free 6-6. 4-3-free will ask players a series of questions for the chance to win a jackpot prize, while Bet free 6-6 follows the Super 6 format by asking players to make six predictions. Cillian Barry, SportCaller MD, said: “Coingaming and Sportsbet.io are led by some of the great innovators and disruptors in the sportsbook space, always striving for innovation and pushing the limits of new technology. “We’re thrilled to align those values with our own, on a watershed journey into unexplored markets where both crypto and fiat currencies are vying for position,” he added.
