Live Betting is a sports betting format in which the user makes a bet after the start of a match or other sporting event. In live mode, odds, markets and betting line are updated in real time depending on what is happening on the field, court, arena or other playground.
This format is especially important for modern betting platforms, since the live section usually forms a high level of engagement, increases the depth of the user session and increases the frequency of interaction with the sportsbook. For players, this is a more dynamic and emotional scenario, and for the operator, one of the key products for turnover, retention and growth in activity in the sports section.
