Short-form live sports brand maintains impressive launch momentum with latest tier-one deal
Twain Sport, the newly launched live sport vertical from the Hybrid Sports League and BetGames, is set to make its landmark debut in Africa thanks to a new partnership with Super Group-owned Betway.
The revolutionary hybrid sport product will be available to Betwayâs significant customer base in the leading South African market as well as across the continent where the major brand operates.
The launch is set to bridge the gap in demand for increased live sport with high-frequency entertainment, which is in strong demand from the next-gen player, with Twain Sport already proving hugely popular.
Partner company BetGames has long enjoyed an impressive foothold across regulated African markets, with the SBC Award-winning studioâs instrumental heritage providing a crucial platform for Twain Sportâs fast-growing popularity.
Twainâs Sportâs launch offering, T-Basket, is the first that will hit the market, delivering head-to-head basketball tournaments every hour and a match every three minutes, totalling 6300 monthly.
African bettors will have a wealth of betting markets available to them to enhance the experience, via an intuitive mobile-first designed UI, with the initial launch expected to attract multiple audience demographics.
T-Basket features professional athletes competing head-to-head to score the most points in 60 seconds. With eight players in a tournament and a new game every three minutes, a full tournament experience is broadcast in just one hour with 14 tournaments and many hours of action every day.
Commenting on the deal, BetGamesâ VP Sales, Africa, James Everett said: âAfrica as a whole is a hotbed for sports betting and the Twain Sport proposition is perfectly suited to match the rapidly-growing demand for contemporary entertainment in the space.
âWe expect T-basket and then T-kick to make a real impact with Betway. As one of Africaâs most trusted names in betting we couldnât have hoped for a higher profile partner to get started with â the opportunity this represents cannot be understated.â
Mark Rowles Head of Marketing at Betway, added: âWeâre excited to launch the Twain Sport offering across our African markets and look forward to seeing the traction of this innovative new feature across our existing offeringâ
Following the success of T-basket, the exciting supplier brand will compound its impact with a further new sport in Q1 2023 when T-kick makes its debut in the famously football-mad continent and all other markets where it is currently live.
Twain Sport delivers a similar sporting schedule to Esports and Virtual Sports and offers best-in-class integrity measures using Sportradarâs Fraud Detection System. This sits alongside stringent anti-match fixing protocols, providing operator partners with the worldâs very best protection.

Springbok Casino Showcases Winter Survival Strategies of South Africaâs Wildlife in âMzansiâs Winter Wondersâ Feature
![Springbok Casino Showcases Winter Survival Strategies of South Africaâs Wildlife in âMzansiâs Winter Wondersâ Feature](https://europeangaming.eu/portal/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/SB-July-feature-image.png)
This July, Springbok Casino invites all players to celebrate âMzansi’s Winter Wondersâ, a tribute to South Africa’s incredible wildlife and their unique adaptations to the winter season. From gentle elephants to resilient rhinos, these stories highlight the incredible behaviors and survival strategies of ten animals during the colder months.
Lion dads are the epitome of relaxation, often sleeping up to 20 hours a day. However, when danger threatens their pride, these seemingly lazy kings become fierce protectors. During the colder months, they rely on strong family bonds within the pride, while lionesses take advantage of the longer winter nights to stalk their prey more effectively.
With the vegetation thinning out, Elephants rely on their excellent memory and social knowledge to locate resources.
African Penguins are resilient birds who rely on their dense feathers to keep warm as they swim in the chilly waters hunting for fish.
Relying on their strong sense of smell, Rhinos spend the winter months locating the last remnants of edible plants and can often be seen visiting waterholes more frequently, ensuring they stay hydrated.
With less foliage, spotting prey becomes easier, and Eagles take full advantage with their keen eyesight. Eagle pairs use the winter to strengthen their bonds and are often seen soaring together and performing aerial displays.
Meerkats will dig deeper and more complex burrows to avoid the chill. Their intricate tunnel systems provide warmth and safety, allowing them to huddle together during cold nights.
The feature also highlights how Black-backed Jackals, kudus, Vervet Monkeys, and Baboons alter their foraging patterns and habits during the winter months.
To honour South Africaâs resilient wildlife, for the month of July, Springbok Casino is offering players 25 free spins on its new Cosmic Crusade slot.
