CrystalBet Sportsbook

Many virtual casinos attract clients with lucrative bonus offers. As for Crystalbet, it doesn’t provide an extensive list of bonuses in comparison with other platforms. However, it also has promotions that can heighten players’ interest in being loyal to the service. Bettors have the opportunity to benefit much from its exclusive offer – triple cashback. What does it mean? Bettors will receive a 300-percent-refund while making betting slips with a minimum of six positions. This offer isn’t the only one available on the website. Another chance to make the most out of betting is to make one hundred slips and get one more slip for free.

Pro Tips on How to Play and Bet on Crystalbet: The 2021 Guide (Updated)

Crystalbet is one of those online gambling platforms that combine betting on sports with casino games. It has a good reputation and attracts lots of players because the service provides free predictions about matches.

When the industry got its first look at the CrystalBetting Terminals at the 2018 Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas, the technology had a long road to travel from expo to casino floor. Recently, it did just that. The product started its 90-day field trial at two tribal casinos in Mississippi this month — Pearl River Resort’s Golden Moon Casino and Silver Star Casino. Those following the industry closely may remember Pearl River Resorts from last year as the first tribal casino not located in Nevada to open a sportsbook in the wake of the Supreme Court’s repeal of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA).

What does the new sports betting technology do?

The CrystalBetting Terminal facilitates pregame and in-game sports betting in a faster, more private, and more efficient manner. Sports bettors can make bets before the game starts and after it has started in the casino without needing to use a mobile betting app or having to leave their seat. (Mobile apps lack the ability to consistently offer in-game odds as quickly and cleanly as necessary to give sports bettors the experience they’re looking for.)

The new terminal offers a heightened experience for bettors with the ability to watch the game they want live, see live betting options on the screen, make the bets they want in real-time, keep their activities somewhat private from other bettors (with privacy wings), and even utilize a built-in USB charging port (to keep a smartphone or other device charged).

The global sports betting industry was valued at $104.31 billion in 2017 and is expected to grow to $155.49 billion by 2024. If a company like IGT can offer more convenient betting and an improved bettor experience, it stands to gain and retain a big portion of that growing market.

By leveraging IGT PlaySports platform, Pearl River Resort made gaming history in 2018 when it became the first non- Nevada tribal casino to open a sportsbook post-PASPA repeal. The pioneering operator opened its three sportsbooks with over-the-counter retail sports betting and quickly expanded its offerings to include self-service PlaySports Kiosks and mobile on-premise wagering.

IGT and Pearl River Resort Introduce VIP Sports Betting with Launch of CrystalBetting Terminal

LONDON , Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — International Game Technology PLC (“IGT”) (NYSE: IGT) and the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians’ Pearl River Resort announce the launch of IGT’s CrystalBetting™ Terminal. Patrons of Pearl River Resort’s Golden Moon Casino and Silver Star Casino in Philadelphia, Miss. can be among the first sports fans in the world to place pre-match and in-game sports wagers at a private, luxury carrel via the CrystalBetting Terminal.

IGT’s CrystalBetting Terminals give players a comfortable, VIP sports betting experience unlike anything currently offered in the U.S. sports betting market. Each terminal includes a 27-inch monitor where sports enthusiasts can watch live sporting events and place a range of sports wagers. The innovative hardware features privacy wings, a personal listening audio jack, USB charging port, convenient workstation, and was recently named one of the “Top 20 Most Innovative Gaming Technologies” by Casino Journal.

“Pearl River Resort is proud to partner with IGT on the global launch of the CrystalBetting Terminal,” said Neal Atkinson , Pearl River Resort Director of Table Games. “We prioritize being on the forefront of sports betting innovation and providing our players choice and convenience for placing sports bets at our properties. Extending our sports betting offering to include IGT’s CrystalBetting Terminals elevates the player experience and gives our patrons yet another reason to choose Pearl River Resort for gaming entertainment.”

“By adding the CrystalBetting Terminal to its already impressive sports betting offering, Pearl River Resort is positioned to engage sports fans in new ways and to differentiate its offering,” said Nick Khin , IGT Chief Commercial Officer, Gaming. “IGT’s sports betting momentum in the U.S. market, paired with the player insights that we gained while testing the CrystalBetting Terminal, reinforce our confidence in the product’s capacity to deliver a compelling player experience that complements the entire IGT sports betting technology ecosystem.”

By leveraging IGT PlaySports platform, Pearl River Resort made gaming history in 2018 when it became the first non- Nevada tribal casino to open a sportsbook post-PASPA repeal. The pioneering operator opened its three sportsbooks with over-the-counter retail sports betting and quickly expanded its offerings to include self-service PlaySports Kiosks and mobile on-premise wagering.

The CrystalBetting Terminal is currently undergoing a 90-day field trial and has already secured GLI Certification and Mississippi Choctaw Gaming Commission approval.

EGR North America (NA): You recently received Nevada approval for your sports betting platform. Can you tell us more about the approval and benefits of your platform?

Promoted feature: How IGT’s PlaySports technology is driving sportsbook success

Email Print Share

Hot off the heels of the recent Nevada regulatory approval of IGT’s PlaySports sports betting platform, EGR North America sat down with Matteo Carli, IGT senior vice president, PlaySports, ETG and Poker, where he discussed the top three features of the PlaySports technology that have helped propel the Company’s US sports betting success, and that of its customers.

IGT’s PlaySports solution is now deployed in 16 US states, with more on the horizon for 2021. A couple of the key features of IGT’s PlaySports solution that are driving growth for its customers are its next-generation sports betting platform, equipped with a high-performing betting engine, and its enhanced player account management (PAM) module – both of which help deliver outstanding omnichannel player experiences.

EGR North America (NA): You recently received Nevada approval for your sports betting platform. Can you tell us more about the approval and benefits of your platform?

Matteo Carli (MC): Yes, we recently announced that IGT’s PlaySports platform achieved Nevada regulatory approval for retail and online sports betting, which positions us for further expansion within the state by extending our sports betting expertise to many of our long-term gaming customers who are looking to open a sportsbook.

With this approval, IGT’s next-generation sports betting technology stack is authorized for deployment throughout Nevada, enabling more casino operators to benefit from our flexible PlaySports platform, the most widely used sports betting platform in the US. Working directly with our customers, we tailor our PlaySports offering to fit their unique needs and those of their players.

Our platform quickly became one of the most influential technology stacks in the rapidly growing and evolving US sports betting market. It was built specifically for the US to drive player excitement. The platform’s proven capacity to drive results and facilitate a unified, omnichannel betting experience for sports fans continues to propel IGT’s success as we plan further expansion throughout Nevada and the rest of the US.

EGR NA: How does the IGT PlaySports platform integrate with retail sports betting technologies?

MC: One of the key differentiators for the newly enhanced PlaySports platform is its compatibility with IGT’s portfolio of self-service betting technologies, including the widely deployed PlaySports Kiosk, tablet-based PlaySports Pad, and the award-winning CrystalBetting™ Terminal. Self-service betting options placed in the retail sportsbook environment provide operators with choice and convenience for how and where they offer sports betting. And in this COVID-19 era, where many gaming venues are still under moderate restrictions, self-service options give players the convenience of social distancing and added privacy when placing wagers.

EGR NA: What are the benefits of IGT’s enhanced PlaySports PAM?

MC: As the market grows and competition intensifies, our customers look to differentiate their offering and reach more players through mobile technology. One of the most valuable ways that we have enhanced the player journey is through IGT’s proprietary PlaySports PAM solution, which is now live with some of our premier sports betting customers in Nevada. Specifically created to address the unique challenges, opportunities and demands of the US sports betting market, IGT’s PAM was built from the ground up to deliver the seamless player experiences our customers look to offer their players. The PlaySports PAM was uniquely built to deliver an intuitive user experience and can effectively produce player data that our customers can use to offer users special promotions, ultimately strengthening the operator-player relationship.

EGR NA: Why is it critical to incorporate a mobile-friendly mobile sports betting experience into the retail environment?
MC: As retail environments across all industries evolve to meet the demands of today’s digital-minded consumers, delivering mobile sports betting functionality is vital. The enhanced PlaySports PAM captures data and player behavior, allowing players to receive personalized offers and promotions. First-class mobile experiences are important to deliver as many sportsbooks still have social distancing protocols in place. And with an easy-to-use mobile app, players can still place bets conveniently from anywhere in Nevada (provided they have already registered to a sportsbook in-person).

EGR NA: What’s next in the IGT PlaySports roadmap?
MC: We plan to build on the success we have achieved throughout the US market. As new regulations come to light and more states legalize sports betting, IGT PlaySports will continue to offer the most advanced platform technology, highest-quality service levels and a superior player journey so that our customers can operate best-in-class sportsbooks. Key initiatives for 2021 include increasing the breadth and depth of the betting offer, bringing a wider range of sports and more props, broadening the marketing and payment capabilities of the PAM, and introducing the exciting evolution of our CrystalBetting Terminal and other player options such as cash-out.
