Spotlight Sports Group (SSG), a global technology, content and media company specializing in sports betting and fantasy sports, has produced a comprehensive report on the state of play in the global sports betting sector. The third annual edition of BetTech Ecosystem 2023 provides the sports betting and iGaming industries with a deeper understanding of regulated betting markets.
The BetTech visual showcases six sections – content, data, platform providers, e-commerce, iGaming and trading – there are 80 new entrants in 2023 and a total growth of 17% YoY. Here are some of the headlines points from the report:
* Content is still the driving force of the BetTech Ecosystem. Actionable sports betting content and insights drive users into and through the betting funnel.
* The growing importance of business analytics and analytical insights to the industry is showcased by the large increase of suppliers in this sub-section
* The trend for operators owning their own platform has shifted towards using third-party experts
* Fraud and ID verification services are becoming hugely important to the betting sector
* The importance of RegTech, with the increased regulations coming to the UK, is driving growth in this subsection with an expectation of major consolidation to come.
The BetTech visual showcases six sections – content, data, platform providers, e-commerce, iGaming and trading – there are 80 new entrants in 2023, giving the ecosystem growth of 17% YoY.
To add to the report’s findings, Spotlight Sports Group US Managing Director Harry von Behr recently spoke with Wayne Kimmel (Managing Partner, 76 Capital), Robin Chhabra (Chief Executive Officer, Tekkorp Capital) and Eric Frank (Chief Executive Officer, Odds On Compliance) on a webinar – The State of Play in Sports Betting and iGaming Globally.
Chhabra highlighted the importance of Reg Tech and predicted changes to come in this section of the BetTech Ecosystem over the next few years. “In RegTech, you’ll see suppliers within this subsection coming together to make a one-stop shop. Compliance, identity, affordability, AML – will all come together and that will provide value to the operators.”
Discussing the third edition of the BetTech Ecosystem Report, Spotlight Sports Group US Managing Director Harry von Behr said: “The BetTech Ecosystem Report has become an essential project not only for us at SSG but the industry as a whole. It is the only report of its kind that takes a deep look at the whole industry while also acknowledging the companies that help make the industry what it is. We’re proud of the praise the first two editions of the report received and we look forward to sharing this year’s expanded version.”

Blueprint Gaming introduces new Volcano feature in explosive Lava Lock Jackpot King™
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Blueprint Gaming has turned up the heat in its latest release, Lava Lock Jackpot King, with the sweltering title leading with a new Volcano feature and a host of refreshed modifiers for an enriched gameplay experience.
Pele, the goddess of volcanoes, takes centre stage in the 5×3, 30 payline slot. Landing solely on the central position, if she appears alongside a volcano scatter symbol, the newly introduced Volcano feature is triggered, which results in a respin where random positions turn into instant cash rewards.
The Hawaiian princess also holds the key to the Free Spins bonus. If landed, there is a chance that one or two of the Tiki heads above the reels will light up, resulting in either six or 12 Pele spins, respectively, with her position remaining fixed throughout the bonus round.
In an intriguing development to base play, the Pele symbol also has the power to grant rewards from locked symbols, including one of four in-game jackpots rising to 2,500x. Cash add, Pele add, and Cash spin also stand as three bonus modifiers available in both the main game and bonus game, optimising the chance for increased win potential.
The volcanic offering also offers the pull of the industry’s most recognisable and lucrative progressive jackpot systems, Jackpot King, ramping up the anticipation with an array of prize-filled pots.
Marking the award-winning studio’s latest addition to its offering, Lava Lock Jackpot King reinforces Blueprint’s ability to cleverly craft fresh themed, bountiful titles for its operators’ players to enjoy worldwide.
Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing, PR and Events, said: “Lava Lock Jackpot King showcases Blueprint’s commitment to constant creativity. By introducing the Volcano Feature and new gameplay mechanics, we have delivered another dynamic title that keeps our Jackpot King portfolio feeling fresh and energetic.
“With an array of immersive releases still to come during the festive months, our fiery Pele offering kickstarts November in style.”
