DATA.BET posts 168% turnover growth in virtual football content

DATA.BET has reported a 168% increase in turnover from its in-house virtual football product, alongside strong growth in user activity and betting volumes between the first quarter of 2025 and 2026.

The company said its virtual content accounted for 39% of total virtual sports turnover and 45% of profits during the period.

During the reporting period, DATA.BET recorded a 299% increase in active users, a 129% rise in client GGR, a 246% increase in events per quarter, and a 218% growth in bets placed.

The company said the growth reflects increased demand for its continuously running, bot-vs-bot virtual football product, which operates 24/7 without dependence on real-world fixtures.

DATA.BET said its virtual content is designed to address common operator challenges, particularly during low-season periods when live sports availability is limited. The system helps maintain content flow, reduce operational workload, and ensure consistent data delivery across betting platforms.

The product is also positioned as closely aligned with live football audiences, supporting bettor retention during seasonal breaks. The company further noted that the algorithm-driven structure eliminates fraud exposure risks, maintains stable margins, and enables low-latency integration with in-play betting overlays.

"Over the past year, our bot-vs-bot virtual content has delivered consistent, measurable results across every operator deployment,” said Rostyslav Likhtin, Head of Product at DATA.BET. “Building e-Football in-house gives us the flexibility to configure it to what each operator actually needs — whether that is a specific league structure, a particular mix of bot and player content, or a branded competition format.”
