BetCaller is the sector’s first voice-activated betting and digital navigation tool – and it’s Festival-ready

Voxbet, the leading technology company which enables sports bettors to speak their bets, has gone live on the At The Races app ahead of The Cheltenham Festival. At The Races has branded its service BetCaller, and it’s the industry’s first voice-activated betting and digital navigation tool.

BetCaller allows users to place bets quickly and easily using voice recognition. It effortlessly sorts through myriad horses across tens of daily racecards, mapping upcoming action from all UK and Irish racecourses, alongside international racing from North and South America, Hong Kong, France, South Africa and Australia.

Voxbet’s voice-recognition software automatically picks up any horse’s name, alongside the requested bet type and bet stake, and then BetCaller sends users a pre-populated betting slip with their details to confirm.

The result is a seamless service which solves for a host of sportsbook problems. After all, navigation of any sportsbook invariably involves a lot of clicks, with a range of tabs, drop-down menus and derivative markets often acting as obstacles to placing or even locating your preferred market, selection or bet.

BetCaller also accounts for regional dialectal variations and mispronunciations thanks to its machine-learning algorithms whose pinpoint accuracy only improves as they assimilate more vocal data.

The tool searches and verifies against all runners listed on the At The Races app (specifically, horses entered in races within the next 48-hour window) and can execute popular multi-bets – such as Yankees, Trixies and Lucky 15s – alongside standard Win and Each-way singles.

Matthew Taylor, Director of New Media & Innovation – At The Races, said: “At The Races is all about adopting the latest technologies and ideas to improve the digital customer experience for our loyal racing fans, with the aim of revitalizing a sport we love for both the current generation and the ones to come. We loved the idea of voice-activated betting and are delighted to partner with Voxbet to launch BetCaller onto our app.”

Sam Boswell, Head of Sponsorship at BetVictor, added: “We are delighted to partner with At The Races to deliver a modern way to bet for those using BetCaller on the ATR app. Innovating and improving the customer journey are both key to our business and how we think as an organisation. We loved the idea behind BetCaller and cannot wait to see the result and feedback from our customers in the coming weeks.”

Jonathan Power, Founder and MD of Voxbet, said: “Put succinctly, the new BetCaller functionality enables users to place bets quickly and easily using voice recognition. And this will produce major benefits for racing and wider sports fans by instantly improving their betting and viewing experiences. Needless to say, going live with a brand as renowned and trusted as At The Races brings with it an instant endorsement of Voxbet’s accuracy and speed. We’re thankful to them for their responsive collaboration to get BetCaller out there before an event as consequential as the Cheltenham Festival.

“Voxbet’s early development was intertwined with horse racing, working with great brands like the PMU, William Hill, Paddy Power and Betsson. We reasoned: if we can get our speech-recognition software right for the nuanced and jargon-heavy world of betting on racing, all other sports would swiftly follow suit! And so it’s proving, I’m delighted to say, with soccer and major US sports available, including breakthrough BetBuilders functionality. BetCaller is just the latest example of how Voxbet is getting global sportsbooks up to speed with modern and future trends in ecommerce.

“Ultimately, Voxbet is where simplicity fosters ubiquity. Once placing a bet can be as easy as speaking it, betting by voice will become ubiquitous. And BetCaller is another significant step down that road.”

The collaboration works to cater to the growing demand for greater cryptocurrency and digital asset integration within the casino industry. The collaboration between Bitline and Everi’s CashClub forms a transferable blueprint that offers casino operators and their patrons an alternative way to manage funds, access liquidity, and leverage the benefits of cryptocurrency and other digital assets.
