Company is looking to bring esports betting up to speed with traditional sports, offering 5x the amount of in-play esports markets you see today
PandaScore is announcing the launch of their esports odds product for bookmakers worldwide. Their esports data is already used by top professional teams, media companies, startups, and bookmakers; all over the world. PandaScore is now launching a dedicated solution for bookmakers so they can finally offer the live betting experience that esports fans have been waiting for. Thanks to their AI, data collection and odds modeling is fast enough to offer live betting. Now any bookmaker can instantly power up its coverage with a up to five times the number of in-play markets.
Serving a betting product for esports fans is demanding, gamers expect a quality live experience. Today most esports odds providers use manual data collection & trading methods which means in-play betting in esports is either inconsistent, unavailable, or experiencing a huge amount of downtime. Esports fans are ready to bet but often can’t because the markets are either suspended or don’t exist in the first place which means bookmakers are leaving money on the table.
PandaScore provides a one stop shop for esport betting from fixtures, to prematch & in-play odds, live statistics, and embeddable widgets. A simple integration will allow bookmakers to power-up their esports offering with more markets, more consistency, and custom markets tailored to esports bettors. The proprietary AI collects data from video sources and transforms it into odds in a fraction of a second. The approach combines technology with an expert esports trading team monitoring odds and automating settlements.
PandaScore provides the deepest in-play odds in the market for League of Legends, Dota 2, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Overwatch, Rocket League in the market, and 2-3 more esports on the way.
Industry leaders like Parimatch’s CEO, Sergey Portnov, see the potential for esports to overtake traditional sports. “Now, it’s in the top six sports and is 5% of our turnover. I believe next year it could be 8%. In five years, it could easily be 20%… Today, youngsters prefer esports to football. So, in 10 years’ time, it has a chance to beat football.”
Esports fans want to bet, same as traditional sports fans. Skins gambling at its peak was expected to reach $7.4 billion in wagers 2016 alone. It’s not hard to see projections of esports betting reaching $12.9 billion by the end of 2020 from Eilers & Krejcik, as a very real possibility if the industry continues to improve.
Bookmakers that take esports seriously, will get serious returns and it’s only the beginning, esports will continue to experience massive growth.
“Esports is the next big thing in entertainment. We believe esports betting is already big but untapped by most bookmakers,” said Flavien Guillocheau, CEO of PandaScore. “We are here to make it easy to have a world-class offering on day one. If you want to reach esports fans you need to work with esports specialists that understand esports competitions, data, and odds. We’re ready to help you speed ahead of the competition.”

This summer in Zadar, sporting legends and top broadcasters came together for the first-ever Sofascore Player of the Season Award Show, filmed during the Sunset Sports Festival. Now, the show has reached millions as it premiered on CBS, bringing together football stories and data-supported awards.
The show celebrated Europe’s top performers from the Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and many more leagues across the world, all chosen just through Sofascore’s objective performance ratings. No votes, no popularity contests. Mohamed Salah topped the Premier League with a 7.78 rating, Raphinha led LaLiga with 7.80, Mattia Zaccagni claimed Serie A’s best with 7.34, Joshua Kimmich was Bundesliga’s highest rated player with 7.91, and Achraf Hakimi shined in Ligue 1 with 7.76. Beyond this, the awards also celebrated the highest-rated player in the UEFA Champions League, the top leagues in women’s football, and many more standout performers from around the globe.
Hosted by Kate Scott and Peter Schmeichel, and directed by Emmy Award-winner Pete Radovich, the event featured exclusive insights from football greats and top analysts including Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards, and Alessandro Del Piero. Raphinha shared his pride as both LaLiga and Champions League’s top-rated player, while Luka Modrić made history by receiving Sofascore’s first-ever Founders’ Legend Award. In the audience, big names like Dimitar Berbatov, Stipe Miočić, and Šime Vrsaljko added extra prestige to the celebration.
The Player of the Season celebration extended beyond the TV broadcast, with massive billboards in London, Liverpool, Barcelona, Munich, Rome, Frankfurt, Lyon, Metz, and other European cities, showcasing Sofascore’s award winners. From Raphinha and Alexia Putellas in Barcelona to Mohamed Salah in Liverpool and Joshua Kimmich in Munich, fans across Europe could see the season’s best right in their own cities.
The Sofascore Player of the Season Award is built on objective data, not public votes. Every goal, pass, tackle or miss contributes to a rating that reflects what truly happened on the pitch. That’s why, for players and all football fans around the globe, Sofascore’s Player of the Season trophy is the only award that counts.

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has released Don Juan Peppers, a fiery new slot that blends bold bonus features with festive flair.
Set in a sun-soaked Mexican town bursting with colour, rhythm and celebration, the game invites players to join the charismatic Don Juan himself for a lively fiesta across 20 fixed paylines.
The action centres around two types of bonus symbols. Landing three Chili Bonus icons on reels two, three and four triggers seven Free Spins. During Free Spins, each appearance of a Chili Bonus symbol awards an Instant Chili Prize corresponding to the value shown above its reel.
Meanwhile, landing six or more Bonus symbols activates the bonus game. In this mode, all Bonus and Chili icons lock in place and reset the spin counter to three. Chilis in this round boost the value of up to four Bonus symbols before transforming and continuing the chase for bigger wins.
The bonus game also gives players a shot at four fixed jackpots: MINI, MEGA, SUPER, and the GRAND prize of 3,000x the bet. For players who want to skip straight to the fiesta, a Bonus Buy feature offers direct access to either the Bonus Game or Free Spins.
Don Juan Peppers is the latest release in Evoplay’s growing portfolio of standout slots, blending engaging gameplay with vibrant storytelling and proven features.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Don Juan Peppers is a celebration of bold design and dynamic mechanics. By blending familiar bonus features with a distinctive aesthetic and rhythmic theme, we’ve created a slot that feels both familiar and fresh.
“It’s a fantastic showcase of our approach to delivering high-performing content with real personality.”
