DATA.BET has entered a partnership with South African operator Hollywoodbets to launch a dedicated Esports betting vertical. The integration provides the platform with access to a comprehensive ecosystem of markets and live streaming services.
Technical Integration and Market Coverage
The collaboration utilizes DATA.BET’s Single Page Application (iFrame) to streamline the integration process. This setup delivers over 770 markets across more than 30 disciplines, including CS2, Dota 2, Valorant, League of Legends, and Rainbow Six. The system supports more than 10,000 events monthly while maintaining a 99.99% uptime and over 90% market availability.
DATA.BET manages the backend processes, including risk and trading services, to ensure consistent performance.
Otto Bonning, Head of Sales at DATA.BET, stated that the iFrame solution removes integration complexity. "This partnership is about giving Hollywoodbets a complete Esports product they can launch with confidence," Bonning said. "Esports is an emerging vertical in South Africa, and we’re aligned with Hollywoodbets on a clear roadmap to grow it together."
