The basketball game your players come back to.
Backcourt is a basketball manager game with live betting built in. Players build a squad, call the plays, 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. Backcourt 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.
Every match is a short story the player writes: who starts, how the team attacks, where the money goes, and what changes at half-time.
Build your team.
Open packs, collect players from a 500-player league across 50 clubs, and pick a starting five. Chemistry between club, nation and play style rewards smart squad building, not just big pulls.
- Four card tiers, from Common to Legendary
- Live chemistry links on the court
- AI auto-fill for casual players
Call the game.
Choose an offence (Pace and space, Post-up, Pick and roll, Grind) and a defence (Man, Zone, Press, Switch). Tactics counter each other, and the AI coach adapts when it falls behind.
- Win chance updates with every choice
- Boosters for one match, priced into the odds
- One-tap AI coach for players who just want to play
Bet the match, then bet it again.
Place bets before tip-off and at every quarter break: match winner, handicap, total points, captain's points and a bet builder. Change the game plan at the break and every market re-prices on the spot.
- Five markets, priced from thousands of simulations
- Cash out at every break
- Stakes from €0.10, configurable by the operator
Watch it play out.
A live animated court shows every possession, with an LED scoreboard, play-by-play and a tracker that shows each open bet's live chance of landing. Pause, slow down or speed up to 4x.
- Every bet's live chance on screen
- Quarter breaks with box score and new odds
- Sound design built for the arena feel
One match. Four decisions. Up to four betting windows.
Coaching and betting happen in the same moment. That moment is what makes a player stay for one more match.
Built for day 30, not just day 1.
Most casino content is designed for the first session. Backcourt is designed around the loops that bring a player back, and every loop runs on gameplay, not on bonus spend.
The result, the rewards, one more tweak to the squad.
Daily streak, packs to open, cards to upgrade, double XP on the first match.
Promotion and relegation every Monday, fixture list, Revenge matches.
Season pass with free and Pro tracks, exclusive styles, Legendary picks.
A losing session still leaves something behind.
In a slot, a bad session leaves nothing. In Backcourt, even a defeat pays out coins, XP, Shards and season pass progress, and the division bar shows how close promotion is. The squad gets stronger and the album gets fuller.
There is always a reason to come back that has nothing to do with chasing losses.
What Backcourt does for your operation.
A sports vertical with unlimited inventory
No fixture schedule, no off-season, no waiting for kick-off. Basketball action every minute of every day, including the hours when real sports are quiet.
More bets per session
Every match has up to four betting windows. Players who would place one bet on a real game place several here, each one a fresh decision driven by what just happened on court.
Longer player lifetime
Retention compounds. A player who returns for a whole season is worth many times one who leaves after a session. That is the biggest lever on lifetime value, and it is what Backcourt is designed around.
A bridge between sportsbook and casino
Sports bettors get something that feels like sport. Casino players get a game with depth and progression. Backcourt gives each audience a reason to cross over.
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.
Optional extra revenue lines
Where your markets allow it, the season pass, coin bundles and cosmetics add in-game revenue on top of betting. Every one sits behind an operator switch.
Nothing to lose. A new category to win.
Adding Backcourt is one more game in your lobby, not a new product line. It runs on what you already have, and it doesn't compete for the same fixtures, feeds or players your other content depends on.
What it doesn't ask of you
- ✓No new wallet or account. It launches with your existing player session and balance.
- ✓No data feeds or trading team. A fictional league means no sports data costs and no odds to manage.
- ✓No integrity risk from real events. No match-fixing exposure, no void bets, no postponed fixtures.
- ✓No bonus budget. The retention rewards live inside the game.
- ✓No all-or-nothing switch. Start in one market, keep sensitive features off, widen when the numbers say so.
What you get

Questions operators ask.
How long is a match?
Two to five minutes of play, with speed controls from 0.25x to 4x.
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?
Match winner, handicap, total points, captain's points and a bet builder, before tip-off and at every quarter break.
Can buying cards buy better betting returns?
No. Card strength changes the odds a player is offered, not the house edge. Features that could indirectly affect returns can be switched off per market.
What stake range is supported?
€0.10 to €500 per bet by default, configurable by the operator.
Is it a real league?
No. Backcourt League is a fictional league of 50 clubs and 500 players, so there are no data feed costs, no licensing of real athletes and no integrity risk from real-world events.
Where should it live in our lobby?
We recommend a dedicated page in your main navigation, plus a tile in the casino and sports lobbies. It is a game players return to daily, so a permanent home works better than a rotating slot position.
Can we start small?
Yes. Launch in one market with the features you choose, measure retention, and widen from there.
