BETBY, the innovative sportsbook supplier, is redefining how chess is experienced in the betting world, launching an innovative suite of markets designed to deepen engagement and bring fresh energy to one of the world’s oldest strategy games.

Marking a new chapter for chess within the iGaming space, BETBY’s upgraded betting content portfolio goes far beyond traditional markets like outright winner or total moves. Bettors can now engage with detailed, event-specific outcomes including the first move made, the first piece captured, number of checks, castlings, and whether a game will feature a pawn promotion, an en passant, or end in stalemate. Several markets also focus on the timing of critical moments, such as whether a checkmate will occur before a certain move, offering more dynamic, real-time decision-making for players.

This launch follows six months of dedicated product development across BETBY’s chess vertical and reflects the company’s long-term vision for the game as a core part of its sportsbook strategy. With chess now officially included in the Esports World Cup, the timing marks a natural convergence of two verticals where BETBY continues to strengthen its position: esports and traditional chess.

As part of this expansion, BETBY is also introducing another exclusive: live betting on the Top Chess Engine Championship (TCEC), a prestigious AI-based tournament. While the event follows a defined schedule, it opens up a new betting experience through intense matchups between powerful engines, enriching the overall chess offering.

Currently, BETBY offers pre-match coverage for around 20 chess tournaments per month, totaling approximately 400 matches. The addition of these expanded markets marks a strategic leap forward in delivering a modern, high-engagement chess product to sportsbook partners and players.

“Chess has always been a passion of ours, and today we’re proud to announce the launch of a truly comprehensive chess offering,” said Kirill Nekrasov, Head of Sportsbook Product at BETBY. “By expanding our market depth and introducing innovative tournaments, including both traditional and AI-driven formats, we’re giving our partners and players a completely new way to engage with the game. Our vision is ambitious: we want chess and betting to become synonymous, to the point where no modern sportsbook feels complete without chess markets. We’ve already done this with Betby.Games and esports, now it’s time to do the same with chess.”

BETBY’s long-term global brand ambassador, five-time world chess champion Magnus Carlsen, will represent Team Liquid at the Esports World Cup. His participation in the tournament, which begins on July 7th, reinforces chess’s growing presence in global esports and its potential as a premium betting vertical.

World’s leading B2B marketplace BETBAZAR brokers new agreement enabling the full integration of Platipus games into Agreegain Limited iGaming platform.

Betbazar, the industry’s leading B2B global iGaming marketplace, has facilitated another successful software partnership after announcing that Agreegain Limited has agreed to add to its platform the full suite of Platipus slots.

As the go-to destination for companies looking to acquire third-party casino, sportsbook solutions and data content, Betbazar continues to drive growth across the iGaming industry. Among its standout offerings, the innovative and visually striking slots from Platipus immediately captured the attention of Agreegain.

Keen to enhance its platform’s content offering and give its clients access to high-performing games, Agreegain chose to integrate the entire Platipus portfolio — more than 150 titles, including a number of player-favourite jackpots.

This integration means that Agreegain’s network of B2C partners will now have access to standout titles such as Lord of the Keys, Bacon’s Bank, and 7 & Fruits Rush, enriching their game libraries with engaging themes, fast gameplay and compelling features.

With Betbazar managing the logistics of the deal, all Platipus content will be fully integrated into the Agreegain platform and will be available to its partners. The agreement also ensures ongoing technical support and seamless delivery of new releases moving forward.

Using a marketplace like BETBAZAR — where some of the industry’s most innovative providers are gathered in one place — makes this process incredibly efficient, and we’re very pleased to have discovered Platipus through their platform. We’re excited to bring Platipus’s dynamic portfolio to our clients and are confident these games will resonate strongly with players.”

Stanislav Mykhailov, CCO at Platipus, said: “For an independent software provider like Platipus, having a reliable way to connect with the right partners is essential – and being part of BETBAZAR’s B2B worldwide iGaming marketplace makes that process incredibly smooth.

Thanks to their intelligent and streamlined platform that brings together content creators and aggregators, we were able to present our portfolio to Agreegain Limited – and we’re thrilled they found our content to be a great fit. With all Platipus games now integrated into their library, Agreegain can deliver even more value to their clients — and we’re looking forward to seeing our games reach new audiences through this collaboration.”
