Betcha can’t resist: New Zealand’s latest way to settle scores

AUCKLAND, Today: Entain New Zealand has just launched betcha, a fresh platform for Kiwis looking to settle friendly bets and fuel their competitive spirit.

The betcha platform brings a streamlined, interactive experience, perfect for those who love a good wager. With features designed to enhance the thrill of sports and racing, it’s set to make waves.

A standout feature, ‘Bet Social,’ lets users connect with mates—chat, share bets, and even pool money for a bigger pot. It’s the ultimate social betting experience in one app.

Adding to the innovation, betcha’s ‘Toolbox’ hands users more control. With tools to boost odds and protect bets, it’s a game-changer for Kiwis who like a strategic edge.
