BtoBet and LSports announce collaboration over Tennis Betting Simulator

iGaming platform provider BtoBet has announced a collaboration with real-time sports data provider LSports regarding their innovative Tennis Betting Simulator.

The Tennis Betting Simulator offers a solution for bookmakers at a time with no actual live tennis matches. Based on over one million historical tennis matches in LSports’ database, the simulator produces live tennis matches with real-time odds originally traded at the time, backed by high-quality visualization including features such as ball movement, shot placements, and statistics.

As the product is based on historical data, the original details – such as player names, tournament, date, time, etc ­– are only revealed at the end of the visualized match, thus legitimizing it and verifying their historical accuracy.

The partnership is announced as the industry tries to mitigate the effects of the coronavirus pandemic that has brought the sports calendar to a standstill. As the world suffers a lack of live sports events, LSports turned inwards to create a product intended to provide alternative sportsbook content to counter this shortfall.

"We’re very excited about our collaboration with BtoBet, they’ve positioned themselves as a World-leading iGaming and sportsbook platform provider in the industry," said LSports co-founder and CEO Shaul Lazar, "We believe that our product will offer their customers a new and engaging experience. At a time with not enough sports to bet on, BtoBet proves once again that they’re a market leader, finding innovative solutions to satisfy their customers."

BtoBet now offers up to 500 live tennis matches per day, 24/7, featuring short formats. With both pre-match and in-play markets such as game-winner, point winner, match winner, and more, BtoBet offers the only tennis betting options out there.

Alessandro Fried, BtoBet’s Chief Executive Officer, stated that in a time characterized by the lack of live sports events, bookmakers have immediately sought to offer alternative sportsbook content to their players. "LSports’ Tennis Betting Simulator does not only provide an alternative content to live tennis matches but more importantly enables operators to engage their players through a wide portfolio of highly visualized historical tennis matches," he said. "I’m confident that their innovative content product will be popular even once the sports calendar resumes."
