INTRALOT completes acquisition of Intralot US Securities B.V. shares from minority holders

INTRALOT Group has successfully enabled the launch of eSports betting for its partner Intralot de Peru, supporting the leading lottery operator in Peru to enhance its sportsbook and offer an elevated player entertainment through content within one of the fastest growing segment of the online game market. The eSports games are offered in cooperation with Sportradar and include Counter Strike, League of Legends, Dota2, Star Craft II, Call of Duty and Overwatch. In addition, the offering includes Electronic Leagues of Fifa20 and NBA2K. Additional games will be introduced to the Intralot de Peru’s portfolio in order to further engage the current player community and attract new players.

“We are pleased to successfully introduce eSports betting in Peru and enrich our sportsbook,” said Mr. Alberto D’Angelo, CEO of Intralot de Peru. “As the leading betting operator in Peru, we continuously look at ways to expand the entertainment options for our players and enhance their experience; INTRALOT has been a trusted and reliable partner in this effort by demonstrating operational expertise both in retail and digital helping us grow our operation.”

“We are excited to continue to innovate with our long-term partner Intralot de Peru and create value that capitalizes on the transformative power of our technology,” said Mr. Christos Dimitriadis, INTRALOT’s Group CEO. “In a booming market like eSports betting, it’s all about gaining a first-mover advantage and Intralot de Peru has proven its forward-looking strategy by trusting INTRALOT’s proven solutions and world-class customer service that will drive the Lottery’s growth and ensure increased returns for the Peruvian community.”

Up until recently, eSports betting has remained under the radar, but market research indicates betting on eSports is growing just as fast, if not faster, than eSports itself. As COVID-19 pandemic continues to create an unprecedented disruption at the gaming industry due to the suspension of the most popular sports betting competitions and leagues, eSports betting is getting more popular and offers an attractive alternative proposition that responds to the increased demand for content. According to H2 Gambling Capital’s projection, the gross win from eSports betting will grow by almost 40% this year and is expected to double in size by 2024.

Thunderpick, the leading esports betting platform, in partnership with Oddin.gg, a provider of end-to-end esports betting solutions, today announced the exclusive launch of BetPeek, a first-of-its-kind interactive esports viewing experience available only on Thunderpick.io.

While most esports streams today limit fans to static broadcast feeds and pre-selected camera angles, BetPeek flips the script. For the first time, viewers can control how they watch the action—transforming every match into a personalized, immersive event.

BetPeek’s key features include:

Follow Any Player – Switch instantly to the POV of any competitor on the server.
Dynamic Camera Control – Place the camera anywhere on the map for a unique vantage point.
X-Ray Vision – Unlock strategic insights by seeing what players can’t.
Play, Pause & Rewind – Revisit every clutch play with DVR-style controls.
Integrated Betting Tools – Access deeper context and analysis to inform smarter wagers.

“Traditional esports streams have barely evolved; they’re often one-size-fits-all broadcasts that leave fans wishing for more control,” said Kelly Sanders, Head of Strategy at Thunderpick. “BetPeek completely changes that. By putting fans in the driver’s seat, we’re delivering an esports experience that’s not just more engaging, but truly revolutionary for bettors and spectators alike.”

Why It Matters

Until now, esports fans had little choice beyond passively watching standard tournament streams or fragmented co-streams. BetPeek represents the next era: an interactive, on-demand, and bet-integrated platform unlike anything else in the industry. For bettors, this means unprecedented visibility into momentum shifts, rotations, and player form. For fans, it’s a chance to experience the match exactly how they want.

Exclusive to Thunderpick

BetPeek is available only on Thunderpick.io, reinforcing Thunderpick’s position as the most innovative esports betting destination worldwide. In partnership with Oddin.gg, a global leader in esports betting solutions, Thunderpick continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in live, fan-first esports engagement.
