19th February 2018, London – Playtech BGT Sports (PBS) has unveiled its new MatchAcca tool, which will be available for customers to use on its self-service betting terminals (SSBTs) in time for the climax of the football season and World Cup.

In a first for betting shops, MatchAcca puts the customer in control to create their own bet by combining several selections within the same match, such as Team to Score First, To Win First Half and Over 3.5 Goals, without the need to wait for traders to approve it.

PBS will look to build on the recent popularity of its bet-request functionality, with various versions being rolled out across major operators online in recent months as they seek the high-margin potential and customer interaction that the product entails.

The interface permits punters to pick various selections from the standard match screen, and then to choose to activate the MatchAcca option which combines the various prices into a single selection.
