DATA.BET has launched In‑Stream Betting, a new frontend feature that integrates directly into existing streaming infrastructure to let players access markets, odds, and their bet slip without ever leaving the live broadcast, keeping them fully immersed in the action.
Mobile devices now account for the majority of all bets placed, and that share keeps growing. In-Stream Betting is built with that in mind, adapting the experience to where players actually are. The overlay is on-demand — players can switch it on or off at any point during the stream.
The component addresses one of the core challenges in live betting: maintaining player immersion. By eliminating the need to navigate away, operators benefit from stronger user engagement, higher retention, longer betting sessions, and improved lifetime value. This, in turn, drives betting frequency and operator revenue with minimal technical overhead on their end.
A key advantage of the new feature is its simplicity of integration
In-Stream Betting connects at the frontend level, requiring no backend implementation. This significantly lowers the barrier to entry, allowing operators to launch the overlay fast, making it an accessible engagement tool with measurable impact. This feature is available now upon the clients’ request.
In-Stream Betting launches first with virtual sports, with plans to expand to additional verticals in the near future. When paired with DATA.BET’s virtual content (in-house algorithmic simulations), it further enhances the experience with near-zero latency inherent in broadcasts, creating a seamless, continuous betting flow.
“In-Stream Betting is designed to meet players where their attention already is — inside the broadcast,” said Rostyslav Likhtin, Head of Product at DATA.BET. “For our clients, this means an additional engagement layer that is easy to implement but delivers real results in terms of retention and player satisfaction. Having everything on one screen cuts the time it takes to place a bet and that kind of frictionless experience is exactly what builds long-term player loyalty toward the operator.”
