J3STER.GG expands betting options in its latest product innovation
J3STER.GG, the innovative live-streaming betting company, has expanded its gambling options with the introduction of winning bets.
This new feature allows users to gamble on whether a streamer will win a game or not, giving them more ways to engage with the platform and the influencer.
Building upon features popularised by the Esports industry, whilst empowering viewers of streamers on Twitch, J3STER.GG allows viewers to place bets on various gameplay outcomes. This latest addition has more win potential than previous options and J3STER.GG is currently testing the service with leading Twitch streaming collective ForbiddenGG.
Forbidden will be streaming Call of Duty: Warzone whilst utilising J3STER.GG, with viewers able to place bets on their performance. This represents an opportunity for Forbidden and other streamers to simultaneously increase earnings from streams and boost viewer engagement.
J3STER.GG exemplifies how technology is changing the way Esports are enjoyed. With its new winning bets feature, the company is making it possible for viewers to bet on the outcome of entire games, rather than just specific moments. This provides a more entertaining experience for viewers and precedes J3STER.GG’s full roll out next month.
Kevin Des Lauriers, CEO at J3STER.GG, said: “Innovating on the user experience is everything. Releasing new bet types quickly is fundamental for scale and our exponential growth. Additional advantages for streamers include increased viewer engagement and the ability to retain these viewers during the entire round.
“We are thrilled to be working with Forbidden to trial this new feature and as we get ready for our full launch next month, we will not stop the rapid evolution.”

Teams from around the world will converge in India for an intense on-ground event to compete for the prestigious title. The Skyesports Championship 2024: Counter-Strike 2 Main Event is set to happen from July 23 to 28 in India with eight teams competing for the title. Five of these will be directly invited while two will secure their slots through the Europe and India Qualifiers, respectively.

Commenting on the Skyesports Championship 2024 Counter-Strike 2, Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO, Skyesports, said, “The Skyesports Championship has been our premium IP which was founded in 2018 as a regional esports tournament in Chennai. Now, after five continuous editions, the tournament is back for its sixth year and is bigger than ever featuring the top teams from around the world in the Counter-Strike 2 esports tournament. Due to unfortunate circumstances, we couldn’t host the Skyesports Masters as a LAN in India. This time, however,we are thrilled to bring some of the world’s most distinguished Counter-Strike 2 teams to the Skyesports Championship 2024 Main Event.
Details for the India and Europe Qualifiers will be announced soon. The Skyesports Championship 2024 is the third tournament in the Skyesports $1 million Counter-Strike 2 esports roadmap. Earlier this year, Skyesports successfully hosted the Skyesports Grand Slam in Pune, India, and the Skyesports Masters.
Furthermore, the Skyesports Championship 2024 is a multi-game esports IP. Besides the Counter-Strike 2 tournament, the IP will feature several other gaming titles catering to different gaming communities. These will be announced at a later date.

1/ST CONTENT and Assiniboia Downs announce long-term distribution deal
1/ST CONTENT, the leading provider of premium content for North American horse racing, has bolstered its international portfolio with the timely addition of Assiniboia Downs (ASD), the popular Canadian racetrack located in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
ASD’s season commences today (20 May), with live racing typically staged every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 7:30pm local time as part of a competitive 50-fixture schedule that stretches from May to mid-September each year.
Forthcoming highlights include the prestigious Manitoba Derby, the opening leg of the Western Canadian Derby Series, alongside other Listed stakes action. Other classic championship races comprise the Gold Cup, the Manitoba Matron and the Winnipeg Futurity, while there will also be multiple stakes contests for rising-star juveniles, beginning with the Debutante in July.
Accordingly, ASD now sits alongside other Canadian racetracks – such as Woodbine, Fort Erie and Hastings – on 1/ST CONTENT’s flexible program of top-quality action. This weekly timetable of engaging content, whose chronology naturally complements international racing coverage across varied time-zones from Europe to South Africa and Australia, provides 1/ST CONTENT’s global partners with a reliable source of fast-settling betting content at both primetime and off-peak viewing slots.
This progressive deal is emblematic of 1/ST CONTENT’s broader commitment to ensuring that North American racing’s stakeholders, whether they hail from the biggest tracks or overlooked regional diamonds, become the primary beneficiaries of revenues generated through international wagering.
As a result, 1/ST CONTENT stands alone as the proven pacesetter for live horse racing content, mapping approximately 80% of all North American racing, and providing rights, betting data, live broadcast and video streaming on behalf of its growing global portfolio of partners. Corralling low-latency feeds from thousands of annual meetings (and showcasing tens of thousands of races each year) North American racing is helping worldwide operators to engage untapped audiences by delivering 24/7 horse racing.
Darren Dunn, CEO of Assiniboia Downs, said: “The sheer distributional scope of 1/ST CONTENT’s international operator network is second to none. Therefore, it was a logical step for ASD to partner with them to distribute our upcoming calendar to a new legion of bettors outside Canada, thereby increasing returns to the core stakeholders of our domestic scene here in Winnipeg.”
Simon Fraser, Senior Vice President International at 1/ST CONTENT, added: “1/ST CONTENT is delighted to have added Assiniboia Downs to our all-encompassing North American roster, optimizing our wider Canadian content and introducing a fresh cohort of global racing fans to one of the true hidden gems in North America. ASD’s reliable off times and inimitable content, which sometimes shows events such as team-based bareback Indian Horse Relay racing, offers something different in an often homogenized marketplace.
“Observing other unsupportive models, we are more dedicated than ever to returning the value to racing’s stakeholders, who have historically missed out with grasping suppliers that return funds to non-racing organizations and simply aren’t committed to the sustainability and welfare of the sport.
“We look forward to delivering more coverage of high-class Canadian racing than ever before to fans and bettors around the world.”
