BETBY, the leading sportsbook supplier, has expanded its proprietary esports feed, Betby.Games, with the launch of two brand-new e-sim titles: eTable Tennis and eFootVolley. Both releases mark a major milestone in BETBY’s commitment to delivering fair, authentic, and localised esports content that enhances 24/7 engagement for operators and players worldwide.

Representing a world-first for the industry, the eTableTennis title, entitled TTX CUP, introduces a completely new vertical to esports betting, with an authentic, fully fair, and transparent experience. The game features realistic physics, true-to-life gameplay, and zero-second betting delay, offering instant bet placement for one of the fastest-paced sports.

Each match follows the classic table tennis format of five sets to 11 points, with over 20 betting markets and high betting limits comparable to elite-level competitions such as the Champions League. Launched initially with two tournaments, TTX CUP delivers more than 1,500 matches per month, running 24/7 with no streaming delay, ensuring full transparency and player trust.

Aligned with the WTT Finals Hong Kong, one of the sport’s premier real-world events, the release allows operators to engage users during off-hours through a seamless, always-on e-sim.

BETBY’s second new title, eFootVolley, further strengthens its “go-local” approach by focusing on Brazil’s fast-growing futevôlei scene, one of the country’s most culturally resonant sports. The game replicates the official Liga Nacional de Futevôlei, following a five-set format (up to 11 points) and an average match duration of around 20 minutes, with 20+ available betting markets.

Launching in sync with the final stage of the real-world Liga Nacional de Futevôlei, eFootVolley provides an ultra-localised, 24/7 betting experience, reflecting BETBY’s strategy of blending authenticity with constant engagement. Following the success of eVaquejada, this release reinforces the company’s dedication to creating content that speaks directly to local audiences and their sporting passions.

Kirill Nekrasov, Head of Sportsbook Product at BETBY, commented: “With TTX CUP and eFootVolley, we’re breaking new ground in esports simulations. TTX CUP sets a new benchmark for integrity and realism in table tennis betting, while eFootVolley demonstrates our ongoing commitment to localised, culturally relevant content. Both titles reflect the Betby.Games vision to provide operators with high-frequency, fair, and engaging titles.”

The Betby.Games portfolio now features 25 proprietary titles, covering 80+ tournaments and over 400,000 monthly matches across multiple sports.

Introducing the world’s first race car designed to be scratched! Allwyn, the lottery-led entertainment company, has teamed up with the McLaren F1 Team to create the one-of-a-kind ‘Scratch Car’ to celebrate this weekend’s Grand Prix and inspire people everywhere to take a chance.  

The life-sized model of an F1 car was unveiled by McLaren F1 Team driver Oscar Piastri at the LINQ Promenade on the Las Vegas Strip.  The Scratch Car invites fans to scratch the surface of one of 970 panels to win exclusive McLaren F1 Team experiences and prizes.

The car designer swapped a spanner for a pair of scissors to build the engineering masterpiece. Designed and hand-built with meticulous precision by paper artist and motorsport enthusiast Florian Weber, better known as Paperlegend, the car is made up of 970 individual scratchable panels, each printed in the McLaren F1 Team’s iconic papaya orange. Taking weeks to build, the unique installation will be open for racing fans to visit and scratch at the LINQ promenade in Las Vegas over two days, from its launch on Tuesday 18th November through Wednesday 19th November.

Fans who can’t make it to Las Vegas can join in via an online Scratch Car experience,  allowing people to virtually scratch their own digital McLaren F1 car for the chance to win. The hero prize promises one lucky online winner a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, UK – and not only meet a McLaren F1 Team driver, but have their own race suit signed by them.  

Pavel Turek, Chief Officer Global Partnerships at Allwyn, said: “Being an Official Partner of the McLaren F1 Team enables us to bring the entertainment and excitement of the sport to even more people. Our Scratch Car is just one of the ways we are helping fans across the world get closer to the F1 action, with the chance to win once-in-a-lifetime McLaren F1 Team prizes and experiences. We believe that taking a chance gives you one, and this world-first installation celebrates that spirit in a fun, creative way.”

Florian Weber (AKA Paperlegend), the artist and designer behind the Scratch Car, said: “F1 drivers have to be incredibly precise but also willing to take chances and that’s what makes the Scratch Car such a perfect embodiment of the feeling of winning. It’s a piece of art that celebrates both precision and the thrill of taking a chance.”

Louise McEwen, Chief Marketing Officer at McLaren Racing, said: “At McLaren Racing, we are continually exploring new and unexpected ways of connecting with our fans in a fun and engaging way, and that’s what our Scratch Car activation with Allwyn does. We can’t wait for people to see it come to life, whether that’s on the ground in Las Vegas or online.”

Fans can visit the Scratch Car from Tuesday 18th until Wednesday 19th November at the LINQ Promenade, just moments from the racing track, or scratch a digital version online at Allwyn Global’s Instagram page until Tuesday 25th November.
