ONCHAN, Isle of Man,
January 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
New product gives sports
bettors chance to increase odds by up to
10 times
BetStars has launched a unique new sports betting product that
gives bettors the chance to multiply the odds - and potential
winnings - by up to 10 times. BetStars is the new sports betting
brand from PokerStars, an Amaya Inc. (Nasdaq: AYA; TSX: AYA)
company.
Spin & Bet, which takes its name and inspiration from the
extremely popular Spin & Go poker format that launched just
over a year ago on PokerStars, gives sports bettors the chance to
multiply the odds of their bets - and potential winnings - by up to
10 times the original amount.
"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," said Guy
Templer, Director of Group Business Development and
Strategy. "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 competitiors."
HOW DOES SPIN & BET WORK?
Spin & Bet can be found on the home page of the BetStars
websites and iOS and Android apps. To use the new Spin & Bet
feature, bettors simply choose their bet from the available
markets, enter their stake, and click 'Spin & Bet'. The bet
will be placed and an animation will display the potentially
enhanced odds and potential winnings, with the result being one of
five multiples: 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 5x or 10x. When playing Spin &
Bet, 10% of the bettor's stake goes towards an enhanced odds
jackpot.
For example, a £10 bet at 2/1 would become a £9 Spin & Bet
with the chance for the odds to increase to as much as 20/1 with a
potential payout of £189 (£9 x 20 + £9 stake back).

marketing campaign, including a significant TV presence during
English Premier League matches, to launch the BetStars brand over
the coming months.
