Inspired and bet365 launch next-gen virtual sports with NHL, NBA, and esports titles

Three brand-new, next-generation Virtual Sports games have been released by Inspired Entertainment and bet365 to the online sports betting market.

With their technology, incredibly lifelike animations, and constant action, the new games — V-Play NHL, NBA Re-Play, and Re-Play eSports, are made to keep players and wagerers interested on any platform.

These games, which combine gameplay formats with real league elements to create an immersive betting experience, are a part of Inspired’s growing portfolio of officially licensed North American virtual sports.

The launch of these immersive virtual games on bet365 is an essential step in the incorporation of virtual sports into the online sports betting market.

Virtual sports, in contrast to traditional sports betting, provide a level playing field for all bettors and allow wagers to be placed at any time of the day or night.

The official league branding and dynamic gameplay in NBA Re-Play and V-Play NHL are intended to increase engagement and authenticity. Both games are fully optimised for desktop and mobile devices.

Brooks Pierce, CEO of Inspired, noted: “With V-Play NHL, NBA Re-Play, and Re-Play eSports, we continue to redefine what’s possible in Virtual Sports, delivering high-quality, immersive content that resonates with both fans and bettors.”

A spokesperson for bet365 added, “With compelling visuals, official league integrations, and thrilling gameplay, these titles are set to be a major hit with our global audience.”

The launch marks another milestone in the growing convergence between sports fandom, esports, and innovative betting experiences.

These virtual sports products are rapidly becoming a fundamental component of contemporary online betting environments due to bet365’s global reach and the application of its technology, indicating that this market is expanding far beyond its historical bounds.
