BetStars rolls out Spin & Bet feature

BetStars, the new sports betting brand operated by Amaya-owned PokerStars, has launched a new product that allows players to win up to 10 times as much when placing a bet.

‘Spin & Bet’, which takes its name from the ‘Spin & Go’ poker format that already features on PokerStars, offers players the opportunity to increase their winnings when placing bets on sporting events.

Players select a bet from available markets, enter a stake and click ‘Spin & Bet’.

The bet will be placed and an animation will display the potentially enhanced winnings, with the result being either one, one-and-a-half, two, five or 10 times the original amount.

When taking part in Spin & Bet, 10% of the stake will go towards an enhanced winnings jackpot.

Guy Templer, director of group business development and strategy at PokerStars, said: “We're really excited by the launch of Spin & Bet, which we believe is set to be the game-changing innovation in sports betting this year.

“We're convinced our customers will love the new product as it brings a new and exciting dimension to betting for sports fans around the world.

“This is only the first in a number of exciting, unique products that we expect to introduce in 2016 to distinguish the BetStars brand from its competitors.”
