The hockey game your players come back to.
Backcheck is an ice hockey manager game with live betting built in. Players build their lines, set the game plan, and bet on matches that last minutes, not hours. The collection, the divisions and the season pass bring them back tomorrow. Your casino gets a new sports vertical that never runs out of fixtures.
Not a slot. Not a sportsbook. A new shelf in your lobby.
Slot sessions are intense but shallow: nothing carries over to the next visit. Real sports have loyalty and rivalry, but the fixture list sets the schedule and the off-season empties it. Backcheck takes the depth of a sport a player follows and the always-on availability of a casino game, and puts them in one title.

Fantasy manager meets live betting, on ice.
Every match is a short story the player writes: who takes the ice, how the team forechecks, where the money goes, and what changes at the intermission.
Build your lines.
Open packs, collect players from a fictional league of 32 clubs and 288 players, and set your lines. Chemistry between club, nation and play style rewards smart roster building, and your captain leads the way.
- Card tiers with published pack odds
- Chemistry links across your lines
- A captain who lifts the whole roster
Set the game plan.
Before puck drop, choose how your team plays: the forecheck, the breakout, how aggressive to be. Plans counter each other, and the opposing coach adapts when it falls behind.
- Win chance updates with every choice
- The coach's notes tell you what the other bench is planning
- Change the plan at every intermission
Bet the match, then bet it again.
Place bets before puck drop and at every intermission: winner including overtime and shootout, puck line, total goals, both teams to score and player points. Change the game plan at the break and every market re-prices on the spot.
- Markets priced from thousands of simulations
- Cash out at every intermission
- Trending markets explain what just happened on the ice
Watch it play out.
A live top-down rink shows every rush, rebound and save, with a scoreboard, play-by-play and a feed that keeps every open bet in view. Pause, slow down or speed up.
- Every bet tracked through the play-by-play
- Intermissions with box score and new odds
- Goal light, horn and confetti when the puck goes in
Real hockey, not a reskin.
Penalties and power plays swing a period. Rebounds create second chances. Trailing teams pull the goalie. Tied games go to 3-on-3 overtime and then a shootout.
- Power plays and penalty kills
- Pulled goalies and empty-net drama
- 3-on-3 overtime and shootouts
One match. Three periods. Betting at every break.
Coaching and betting happen in the same moment. That moment is what makes a player stay for one more match.
Fictional clubs. Real rivalries.
Backcheck League is fully fictional: 32 clubs and 288 players, from the Harbour Blades to the Berlin Spree Sentinels. No data feeds, no athlete licensing, no integrity risk from real-world events, and no off-season.
Built for day 30, not just day 1.
Most casino content is designed for the first session. Backcheck is designed around the loops that bring a player back, and every loop runs on gameplay, not on bonus spend. The meta is the same engine that powers Backcourt.
The result, the rewards, one more tweak to the lines.
Daily streak, packs to open, cards to upgrade, a bonus on the first match.
Promotion and relegation every week, a fixture list and rivalries.
Season pass with free and Pro tracks, exclusive styles, top picks.
Pack openings
Card tiers with real scarcity and published odds. Duplicates turn into Shards, so no pack is wasted.
Club albums
A sticker book for every club. Completing one permanently boosts that club's players.
Daily streak with a shield
A ladder that grows week on week. One missed day doesn't wipe out the habit.
Divisions
Weekly reset. Top of the table goes up, the bottom goes down. The countdown is always on screen.
Levels and chests
Every level-up opens a chest that can upgrade as it opens. Milestones unlock kits, arenas and badges.
Level road
Players always see the next reward and exactly how to reach it.
Season pass
Measured in matches, not calendar weeks, so casual and heavy players both finish it.
Store and scout list
Starter bundle, daily scout picks and cosmetics, each behind an operator switch.
A losing session still leaves something behind.
In a slot, a bad session leaves nothing. In Backcheck, even a defeat pays out coins, XP, Shards and season pass progress, and the division bar shows how close promotion is. The roster gets stronger and the album gets fuller.
There is always a reason to come back that has nothing to do with chasing losses.
What Backcheck does for your operation.
A hockey vertical with unlimited inventory
No fixture schedule, no off-season, no waiting for puck drop. Hockey action every minute of every day, including the hours when real sports are quiet.
More bets per session
Every match has betting windows before puck drop and at each intermission. Players who would place one bet on a real game place several here.
Longer player lifetime
Retention compounds. A player who returns for a whole season is worth many times one who leaves after a session.
A bridge between sportsbook and casino
Hockey bettors get something that feels like their sport. Casino players get a game with depth and progression.
Your own community
Divisions and leaderboards rank match results, never money, so your casino builds its own rivalries and its own regulars.
Engagement you don't pay for twice
Streaks, chests, packs and the season pass are rewards inside the game. They keep players active without spending your bonus budget.
Fair maths. Responsible by design.
Fair odds, transparent maths
- Odds from simulation. Every price comes from thousands of simulations of the exact matchup, including both rosters, game plans and the opposing coach. Prices re-run live at every intermission.
- Team strength changes the odds, not the house edge. A stronger roster gets shorter odds in exact proportion.
- Clear margins per market, on an engine built for independent lab certification.
- Cash out at every intermission, so players can lock in value before the next period.
Built for regulated markets
- Playable without betting. Every match earns rewards whether a bet is placed or not.
- Rewards never tied to wagering by default. No XP or pass progress for stake size.
- Leaderboards rank results, never money.
- Published drop rates and pity timers on every pack.
- No player-to-player trading. In-game items can't be cashed out.
- Operator switches for coin sales, paid packs, pass perks, spend caps and stake limits.
Runs inside your casino.
Backcheck launches in your lobby using your existing player session and balance. No separate account, no separate wallet, no sports data feeds. It runs on the same engine and the same integration as Backcourt.
A free-play demo mode is available for your lobby and for affiliates.
Questions operators ask.
How long is a match?
Minutes, not hours, with speed controls and a skip option for players who want the result faster.
Do players have to bet to play?
No. Every match is playable and rewarding without a stake. Betting is an optional layer on top.
What markets are offered?
Winner including overtime and shootout, puck line, total goals, both teams to score and player points, before puck drop and at every intermission.
Is it a real league?
No. Backcheck League is a fictional league of 32 clubs and 288 players, so there are no data feed costs, no licensing of real athletes and no integrity risk from real-world events.
Is it the same engine as Backcourt?
Yes. The collection, packs, albums, divisions, season pass, store, wallet, pricing and settlement are shared. Hockey plugs in its own match simulation, league, markets and rink.
Can we start small?
Yes. Launch in one market with the features you choose, measure retention, and widen from there.
