User Guide for new expekt’s new sportsbook
In our comprehensive breakdown, we will explain how the user can place a bet, use tools to enhance their betting experience, industry-leading features that provide greater control over bets, explore the thousands of markets available to customers, and much more.
Previously, new expekt operated on the Kambi sportsbook platform. Now, we are integrated into a provider called Tiger, which embraces everything you’d want in a modern-day sportsbook.
Tiger Sportsbook Overview
From minor tweaks to broad sweeping improvements, customers should immediately see and feel the difference in their sports betting experience.
Examples include a coloured scheme attached to odds increases and decreases, helping bettors identify dynamic market conditions at a glance. Watch out for our ever-present carousel banner, which shows the top ten boosted prices. These are pre-made bets that are manually created and loaded with value. They usually cover the biggest events of the day.
There is a Top Events tab, which collates real betting data to suggest the most popular sporting events occurring on any given day. It’s sorted by competitions and leagues, with the most popular options being listed first. It’s imperative, for ease-of-use, that the best leagues and events are front-of-house when bettors visit the site. All the other leagues are manually configured and align with the sports schedule and respective calendars.
Navigation was of top priority when designing the site.
New Features
As one would expect with a brand-new platform, there are plenty of exciting bells and whistles that catch the eye.
Below, we will explain each of the new features and functionalities of the Tiger Sportsbook betting platform.
Boosts
Boosts are now ordered and displayed by leagues. Users can find all of the boosts in the first tab and then move on to the specific league tabs available.
The user can click the available boost and it opens up an event page for the specific match/event. Users can also review the betslip and the pre-made boost before placing the bet.
This is an improvement on our previous platform, where boosts were available but not organized by their own page or sport.
Targeted value is the new and exciting future for betting on the new platform.
Today
For customers looking for the biggest betting events of the day, then they can check out the Today page, which shows events that are set to start for the current day of the user by the timezone.
It is segmented by sports - scroll through the list to find the sport and then pick the competition, which is displayed in a table view.
Rapids
One of the most exciting and innovative new features of the Tiger platform is Rapid Bets, which are a type of market that will settle more quickly.
This page is organized by sports and the bets only apply to live markets.
When the user clicks open an event in the Rapid Bets segment, all available markets are ones that will settle quickly - usually within a few minutes. It applies to those who want more immediate action and for quick bet settlement. A classic example of a Rapid Bet would in Tennis, for example, is “Game Winner” or “Point Winner”.
Users are able to identify Rapid Bets by looking for a specific icon.
Tiger’s new Rapids Hub section - where Rapid markets are specifically organised by sport - is a new twist to the Tiger Platform and allows bettors to get a broader view of the market type.
Difference between Kambi and Tiger sportsbooks
The main difference from a user experience perspective is there is an individual page for each sport, each league, and each event on Tiger. Contrastingly, Kambi used one page "All Sports" which users could apply filters to to see the sport of interest.
Similarly, it is not possible to access a league page from the All Sports page on Kambi, only from the Featured page. Alternatively, on Tiger, users can access a league page from the home page or from the sports page.
Then there is a dedicated and dynamic search function that is easily identifiable. Meanwhile, Kambi has multiple different search entry points that have different functionalities.
Overall, Tiger will provide a smoother and more holistic experience.
Find leagues, events and athletes by using the search bar
On Tiger, the search bar allows users to search for team, league, event and athlete names. It also shows previous searches. On mobile devices, players can bet straight on the search result page by adding an outcome on their betting slip or they can click on the event and get to the event page where they can find more event-specific markets.
On mobile devices, the search page also allows several off-ramps to alternative betting pages, like top sports and top leagues. Users can use the different tabs available when clicking a sport open on a mobile device.
They include:
- Events: Shows all the events available within the sport (grouped by leagues).
- Leagues: Users can browse different leagues more quickly. Top leagues are listed at the top and then organized by country.
- Boosts: Shows all the boosted odds that we have available for this specific sport. However, boosts aren’t always available for every sport.
Large selection of betting markets
There are literally thousands of opportunities for bettors at new expekt.
Users can find a large selection of betting markets when clicking a sport, league or event open.
Whether it be the goalscorer, to score the most points, to receive a card or whatever it may be, there is a “Player Tab”, which allows users to isolate player markets, once again emphasizing the utilities of Tiger in comparison to Kambi.
Betslips
The betslip is the vessel for all betting fancies. Like all betting sites, it appears in the betslip once the bettor clicks on an odds market. The betslip will show the name of the event and the market the bettors has selected to bet on. Users can change the stake to be the wager amount they want.
Users can view a betslip when not logged in but placing a bet is only possible when logged in. When more than one odds are selected, the betslip will automatically be minimised.
Once the user has added all the odds to the betslip, it will show up as a “combination” bet instead of a “single” but if the user prefers to set each bet as a single, they need to click on the “single” tab in the betslip.
Look out for the Unique Tiger sportsbook feature “flex combi” in the betslips, which allows the user to define how many of these selected bets need to win for any returns. In a normal combination bet, all of the selected items have to win, if one of these is lost the whole combination bet is lost but with flex combi, it provides options for the amount of legs that need to be won to generate a return.
For example, if the user wants to place the same bet that is already placed but add more to it, they can use the “reuse selections” button, this will automatically add the selections from the placed bet right back into a different new betslip, where the user can add more markets or edit the bet style to be different. Note that this won’t edit the placed bet instead, it will create a new bet and the original bet stays in place.
Bet Builder
When the user opens an event page and clicks into the “bet builder” tab, this page will only show the betting markets that are available/eligible to be combined into a bet builder.
The betslip automatically organises the betting markets into a bet builder bet. Players can look for this type of market by identifying the iconic BB sign.
My bets, cash out and partial cash out, rewards > Logged in
Users can set a default stake amount that will be applied to all future bets on their betslip. My bets will show two tabs “all” and “open”. The most recently placed bet will show first on the open tab.
Users can view the placed bet by clicking on the arrow which will open the details of the wager.
If the user has confirmed the cash out on their “my bets” page, the stake amount will be added back to their account balance. After this, the bet will be closed. When the match/event is in play, the cash-out amount will fluctuate based on how the event is going.
A partial cash-out feature is available in the Tiger sportsbook by clicking the icon button next to cash-out. Users can cash out some of the bet and leave the rest, they can select from 1%-100% amount to cash out.
Players can find their rewards in the specific tab. They can also access their promotion page by clicking on “view all” in the offers box.
The new Tiger sportsbook has everything it needs to ensure new expekt challenges the biggest names in the business. Check it out today.
