Numbers and facts

The platform offers over 180,000 monthly events across more than 50 sports and esports disciplines. A 24/7 live betting offering, AI-powered recommendations, integrated CRM capabilities, and extensive customization options are part of the service.

Tamar Badashvili, CEO of Setanta Bet, emphasized the importance of synergy between sports media and the betting business. > "Setanta Bet was launched on the foundation of the region’s largest and most successful sports media, representing the most vital part of Setanta as a major brand." - Tamar Badashvili, CEO at Setanta Bet

The choice fell on GR8_TECH due to their regional experience and the platform's suitable functionalities. Setanta Bet hopes that the collaboration will not only bring its own success. Its extensive operational experience will also contribute to the further development of the GR8_TECH platform.

Background

GR8_TECH continues to expand its presence in regulated markets with this partnership. The integration of the iFrame product underscores the focus on modular, customizable solutions. These are particularly attractive for operators who want to maintain their brand while utilizing advanced technology. The system also includes comprehensive tools for engagement and revenue optimization. These include cashout features, multi-bets, personalized odds and margins, and geo-targeted content. A fully mobile-first experience is designed to meet the expectations of modern players.

Similar developments are happening in the betting industry. EGT Digital recently became a sponsor of the Bulgarian football club PFC Ludogorets. Here, too, the aim is to increase the visibility of their sports betting solution. BC.GAME, a crypto sports betting provider, recorded a sports betting volume of around 12.51 million US dollars during a major football tournament. This demonstrates the enormous potential in the sports betting sector, especially during major events.

Why it matters for German players

German players are not directly affected by this specific partnership in Georgia. However, developments in the international iGaming market do have an indirect impact. The German gambling market has been strictly regulated since the State Treaty on Gambling 2021 (GlüStV 2021). In Germany, online casinos and sports betting providers may only operate with a valid license from the Joint Gaming Authority of the Federal States (GGL).

Casinos and sports betting providers that are legal in Germany can be found on the GGL whitelist. These operators must adhere to strict rules, including a deposit limit of 1,000 euros per month and a stake limit of one euro per spin on slot machines. The central monitoring system LUGAS records all player activities and ensures compliance with these limits. Offshore providers without a German license do not offer these protective measures. There is often no self-exclusion file or deposit limits there. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you only use offers from GGL-licensed providers to play safely and fairly.

What it means for GGL-licensed casinos

For sports betting providers licensed in Germany, the technology used by GR8_TECH could be interesting. The integration of over 180,000 monthly events and advanced analytics tools could also help improve the offerings here. Providers on the GGL whitelist are always looking for ways to optimize their product without violating legal requirements. The local adaptability of the GREAT_SPORTSBOOK iFrame solution could also be advantageous for the highly regulated German market. An important aspect would be compatibility with LUGAS requirements and other player protection measures. Ultimately, the partnership shows that the market for sports betting software solutions continues to grow globally and adapts to local specificities.
