DATA.BET is reimagining the esports betting experience via a series of recently released widgets that provide bettors with unparalleled statistics, insights and entertainment.
Having long established itself as a leading provider of esports betting solutions, DATA.BET has recently introduced a range of new widgets aimed at enhancing the betting experience for esports enthusiasts around the world.
The widgets, including Scoreboards and Pitch Trackers, up the ante in the growing esports betting realm by offering live updates, detailed statistics and interactive features that allow players to make more informed betting decisions while significantly adding to the entertainment factor.
The Scoreboards widget provides bettors with live data on ongoing and upcoming matches, with its visually appealing and interactive interface aimed at keeping users on the platform longer. Specifically, Scoreboards gives information about player statistics according to items such as weapons, armor, skins and other game objects. Player status, health levels, ammunition and other state indicators show a player’s current strength or vulnerability in the game.
DATA.BET said the Scoreboards widget is particularly valuable to individuals betting on CS2, Valorant, Dota 2 and League of Legends.
The Pitch Trackers feature is a 2D map visualization that adds even more depth by offering instant tracking and analytics of every pitch in a game, allowing bettors to filter data and gain deeper insights into player performance. The map provides live updates on player positions, object locations and movement directions within a game. Pitch Trackers is mainly used for Dota 2 and League of Legends, the company explained.
Otto Bonning, Head of Sales at DATA.BET, told Inside Asian Gaming it was important to keep innovating in the fast-moving esports betting market.
“Our decision to create and supply tools with in-depth statistics stems from key factors such as enhancing the user experience, improving retention and acquisition rates, catering to regions with poor internet connections and staying ahead of the market,” Bonning said.
“As a company specializing in esports, our offerings simplify the betting process by providing more analytics and data than traditional sports, which often rely on digital metrics. We aim to clarify esports betting, making it accessible and easy for anyone to confidently place a bet. Additionally, operators can fulfill and anticipate players’ demands, supporting a user-friendly, data-driven experience.”
DATA.BET is also tailoring its offerings to the unique traits of the Asian esports market, where games like Valorant, Dota 2, CS2, League of Legends, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and King of Glory are popular.
“In response to this demand, our widgets will soon be available for these games, with additional titles being added gradually,” Bonning revealed.
“There’s a significant surge in esports popularity in Asia, with many teams participating across various leagues, from top to lower-tier competitions. It highlights the increasing interest in esports, which naturally drives higher betting activity in the region.”
The development of widgets like Scoreboards and Pitch Trackers highlights the ever-accelerating evolution of the esports betting industry, which in turn reflects the nature of esports viewers themselves.
Bonning describes these viewers as a “highly engaged audience”, many of whom have played the games themselves and understand the complexities of each discipline.
As such, they expect more from their betting experience – an opportunity to utilize their game knowledge to make more informed decisions based on real insight into the dynamics of each battle or contest.
“Esports is also far more dynamic than traditional sports, evolving quickly with new rules, teams, tournaments and disciplines emerging regularly,” Bonning said.
“As a result, bettors need more advanced tools to navigate this fast-paced environment and understand how best to place their bets. Solutions like Pitch Tracker and Scoreboards help meet this demand by providing instant data and analytics.”
Future innovations, he adds, will likely focus more and more on casual games that bring more instant gratification than competitive esports titles – potentially providing another revenue stream for operators given the growing desire for fast-paced entertainment and instant outcomes.
There is also an increasing synergy between esports and traditional sports, and major sporting clubs like FC Barcelona have already responded to this crossover by establishing their own esports teams.
DATA.BET, meanwhile, continues to explore new ways to deliver information across all these verticals by offering its clients more than a simple data feed.
“Clients who use our core product can receive widgets as a part of the offer, which provides bettors with accurate information, enhancing their overall experience,” Bonning said. “It is possible to use widgets with Video Streaming feature, offering bettors a complete solution by sharing essential game information on the same platform where they place bets. It eliminates the need to search for additional sources or streams, which often have more significant delays.
“Thanks to official data directly from DATA.BET’s partners, we deliver timely and accurate event information, including through advanced widgets, with minimal delays. By providing bettors with the most up-to-date information, DATA.BET ensures that users no longer need to switch between platforms, making the betting experience smoother and more efficient. In this way, widgets enhance user engagement and trust, offering an all-in-one solution for betting.”
