Betby Review

6.4/10

Sportsbook module supplier whose managed desk runs trading, risk, and reporting inside platforms operators already have, live in regulated Brazil since the January 1, 2025 opening on a GLI certification, distributed through TrueLabel, Broadway, St8, QTech, and Vibra stacks, covering 210,000 events a month across 3,000+ markets.

Our take

Betby is a sportsbook module with the trading desk included, and the boundary matters: no player accounts, no wallet, no CMS, so the turnkey in its marketing means turnkey for the betting vertical inside a platform the operator already runs. Within that scope the desk takes over trading, risk, segmentation, and reporting, Brazil went live on opening day, January 1, 2025, behind a December 2024 GLI certification with Pixbet as flagship, and Betby Predictions added a fixed-odds non-sports vertical on April 2, 2026. Licensing runs to one MGA B2B license and the Brazil certification, the data suppliers behind the book are not disclosed, commercial terms are set in the deal, and the company stays private with no owner or funding figure disclosed.

Our read

Strengths
  • The desk comes with the book: Betby takes care of risk management, trading, client segmentation, and reporting, so the operator staffs acquisition instead of a trading floor.
  • Brazil on day one: GLI federal certification landed in mid-December 2024, the book was live when the regulated market opened on January 1, 2025, and Pixbet has been the flagship since a long-term deal dated July 25, 2024.
  • The book already runs inside other vendors' stacks: TrueLabel (March 2024), Broadway Platform (September 2025), QTech Games (April 2026), and Vibra Gaming (May 2026).
  • Own simulated content: Betby.Games runs 30+ AI-simulated titles including eVaquejada and eFootvolley, two LatAm-localized formats, with GGR up 153% year over year in H1 2025.
  • Three straight EGR B2B Innovation in Sports Betting Software awards, 2024 through 2026.
Watch-outs
  • Coverage is published as totals only, 210,000 events a month across 3,000+ markets, with no per-sport breakdown.
  • The regulated footprint is narrow: one MGA B2B license and the Brazil certification, with no UKGC, US state, or Ontario coverage, while distribution runs into crypto-casino platforms as well as licensed books.
  • Data suppliers are not disclosed on either side: traditional-sports coverage runs on third-party feed providers, and real-event esports odds ride on official data bought from partners.
  • Ownership and finances stay private: founder-led, with no parent, investor, funding round, or revenue figure disclosed in eight years.
Best for

Operators and platforms that already run a PAM and want the book dropped in with trading, risk, and reporting handled for them, Brazil-facing and wider LatAm brands, and casino-led .com or crypto sites adding sports through an aggregator.

Not for

Anyone who needs player accounts, a wallet, or a license umbrella from the sportsbook vendor, UK or US regulated books, and buyers who need data suppliers and trading terms disclosed before contract.

Where you can run it

Markets & licensing

Betby's licensing runs on two things: a Malta B2B license held by EARLYBIRD LTD since August 3, 2020, and GLI federal certification for Brazil from mid-December 2024, which put the book live on the regulated market's first day, January 1, 2025, with Pixbet signed since July 25, 2024. There is no UKGC license, no US state registration, and no Ontario registration, which matches a supplier aimed at Europe, LatAm, and Asia through .com and crypto-tolerant distribution.

United States
No US registrations

Betby holds no US state supplier registrations, and nothing in its expansion points there: the regulated push went to Brazil, and the distribution deals run through European, LatAm, and Asian platform stacks. US-facing operators need a different supplier.

United Kingdom
No UKGC license

Betby holds no UK Gambling Commission license. UK-licensed books cannot take supply here, and the UKGC-licensed alternatives in this segment, Altenar and Delasport among them, are the realistic route.

Beyond casino

Sportsbook & verticals

A vendor's lineup often mixes its own builds with other companies' products plugged in. When the sportsbook is third party, a second company stands behind your contract.

How it connects

Integrations & engineering

One contract and one API instead of a separate deal per studio, feed, or PSP. Here's what connects, how fast, and on what stack.

One unified API

Two ways in, both shallow by design: a frame embed into an existing front end, or a single API integration on the Vibra pattern. Either way the host platform keeps accounts, wallet, and cashier while Betby's desk runs trading, risk, client segmentation, and reporting behind the book. A third route skips direct integration entirely, taking the sportsbook through an aggregator or platform stack that already carries it, the way St8 delivers it beside casino content.

The history

Longevity in this industry usually comes with a change of owner somewhere in it.

Betby launched in 2018 under EARLYBIRD LTD, a software company registered in Malta, and has stayed a single brand since. CEO Leonid Pertsovskiy has been in the role since December 2017, before the launch itself, with CCO Chris Nikolopoulos, COO Eva Berkova, CTO Oleg Alistratov, and Chief Sportsbook Officer Sergey Tsukanov filling out the C-suite. Around 200 people work out of Riga, Sliema, Budva, and Barcelona, where the Poblenou office was announced July 8, 2026. Magnus Carlsen has been global brand ambassador since October 30, 2024, with the Make Your Move campaign built around him.

Getting started

Path to launch

  1. 1Book the demo and scope the module: sportsbook alone or with Betby.Games, esports, and Predictions attached
  2. 2Confirm the licensing fit: your own operating license everywhere, since Betby's MGA B2B/780/2020 covers its supply rather than your operation, with Brazil riding the GLI certification
  3. 3Agree the managed-trading terms in the contract: risk ownership, margins, and reporting scope
  4. 4Wire the book in by frame or single API into your PAM, or take it through a host stack such as St8, TrueLabel, Broadway, QTech, or Vibra
  5. 5Clear market certification where required, on the Brazil pattern (GLI certification December 2024, live January 1, 2025)
  6. 6Go live with Betby's desk running trading, risk, client segmentation, and reporting while your team keeps acquisition and retention
