Kaizen Gaming and BetGames expand partnership with Twain Sport
Twain Sport, the game-changing sport vertical from BetGames, has made its debut in Brazil and Ontario with Betano, Kaizen Gaming’s leading sports betting operator.
The Betano rollout marks not only the Brazilian debut but also a LatAm first and a strengthening of the existing Canadian presence for Twain Sport’s unique, high-turnover, high-frequency format of 24/7 hybrid sports.
Kaizen Gaming is one of the fastest-growing GameTech companies internationally, having launched the Betano brand in 11 markets so far. Following this activation, the major brand is set to provide a home for Twain Sport across a number of its other key territories in the coming months, representing a major opportunity for growth in several thriving markets.
BetGames’ 24/7 Twain Sport, available in both football (T-Kick) and basketball formats (T-Basket), sees professional athletes compete in daily one-on-one challenges, with non-stop 60-second matches available every two minutes throughout the day.
Together, T-Basket and T-Kick offer 1,440 matches per day and 43,200 per month, in a low-staking, regulation-friendly format.
Unique to the betting industry, Twain Sport has been designed to be the perfect sporting complement for traditional iGaming, offering a high-turnover schedule that boosts both engagement and incremental revenue for operators.
In total, BetGames’ Twain Sport is now live with 60+ operators globally across Europe, Africa and the Americas, with a further 20 contracts currently under negotiation.
Commenting on Twain Sport’s launch with Kaizen, BetGames CEO Andreas Koeberl said: “We’re hugely ambitious with Twain Sport – it’s a product like no other and offers an incredible opportunity for operators. This is reflected in the interest we’ve attracted since launch and leading, major names like Kaizen Gaming are rightly choosing it to boost their brands.
“Kaizen’s presence across several key markets globally offers us a fantastic platform to push on and continue to nurture Twain Sport’s incredible popularity and potential.”
Christos Mavridis, Head of Live Casino at Kaizen Gaming added: “Our partnership with BetGames’ Twain Sport highlights our commitment to offering a special online gaming experience to our customers. The games offered are high-frequency, fast, and exciting in a thoroughly modern package. We are delighted to be able to offer it in Brazil and we are sure that our customers will enjoy it.”
