GoldenRace, leading virtual sports and betting technologies provider, is updating the content of its three satellite channels, to bring African players new virtual sports and number games. All the updated content belongs to the latest version of the company’s retail solution (VBOX).

GoldenRace’s satellite solution for Africa allows betting shops operators to expand their offer throughout the most distant and inaccessible territories, which usually have a low internet connection.

The company has two satellites, covering different geographical areas of the continent to bring the best service wherever the operators’ businesses are placed.

The release of this update on GoldenRace’s betting software is happening today and will offer via satellite new and engaging contents through the company’s satellite channels.

MULTIGAME OPTION & SATELLITE CHANNELS

GoldenRace’s satellite solution includes the option of a multiscreen, allowing players to see and bet on different virtual sports and number games at the same time; football leagues, Keno and Spin2Win, dog races and Rainbow Colours 49… This option is also very economic and simple for operators, and it includes a mobile cashier.

CHANNEL 1

Channel 1’s updated content will let African players enjoy their favourite league and the most betted one worldwide: the English Premier League.

GoldenRace has developed the most played virtual football in the industry, generating more than 20 million bets on a daily basis. A proprietary motion-capture technology, high-quality FXs, real camera angles, voice-over from professional commentarists, realistic odds, and a familiar layout make our virtual football the best in terms of quality and realism. Plus, more than 40 markets for up to 20 football leagues and tournaments.

Spin2Win is a very classic roulette-based game and one of the African players’ favourites.

Channel 2’s updated offer is completed with another classic: Keno, a lottery-based game where 20 balls out of 80 are drawn by the lottery drum.

CHANNEL 3

Based on the teams that won the qualifiers, with realistic odds, and all the features that make GoldenRace has recently released the Euro Cup 2020.

Even with load shedding causing frustration among both athletes and officials alike, Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) was able to still host a verys successful championship were all participants were able to compete and, most of all, have fun.

With the “competent” South African government stating that South Africa will have load shedding for the next two years, MSSA is already reviewing its policies in regard to load shedding and its online championships.

Load shedding has a huge impact on esports, and may end up causing online console and pc gaming to become elitist as only those who are substantially financially advantaged will be able to compete. It may also result in mobile esports becoming more popular.. A continuous and consistent electricity supply is vital to South Africa developing as a major esports nation.

Nevertheless, MSSA is more than happy with the results from the 2023 Northern Cape Championships.

There were no less than seven (7) provinces represented, and more importantly, there were more females participating since 2020. Of the 22 athletes who earned Provincial Colours, 7 of such athletes are females.

Special mention must be made of Karli Roodt (Middelburg Hoërskool) who is the first female champion in the esports title of Rocket League to earn Mpumalanga Provincial colours. Karli also qualifies for National Team Trials, and may very well end up in the National Squad and/or Protea Team.

The female esports team, VYBN Females, also had a good showing in the CSGO esports title. The team has now earned Provincial colours as well as qualifying for National Team Trials, and may very well end up in the National Squad and/or Protea Team. Of course, CSGO is just one of the six titles which MSSA has entered to contest at IESF’s 15th World Championships.

IESF’s 15th World Championships will be played to the following titles:

Counter-Strike: GO (CSGO)
Counter-Strike: GO (CSGO) – Female division
DotA 2
eFootball
Mobile Legends, Bang Bang
PUBGM
