TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$SCR #sportsbetting—Score Media and Gaming Inc. (TSX: SCR) (“theScore” or the “Company”) today debuted Bet Section, its most integrated and personalized suite of betting features ever. A new, dedicated home within theScore’s media app, Bet Section takes the company’s innovative cross-platform media and betting experience with theScore Bet to the next level.

Bet Section’s deep integrations make it even simpler for fans to create bet slips, follow their action and even receive cash out offers for theScore Bet, all within theScore.

- Personalized Markets: Bet Section surfaces the most relevant markets available on theScore Bet based on sports fans’ favorite teams and leagues on theScore, helping them discover the bets they’re most likely to care about.

This means fans can follow their wagers live in theScore’s sports app – including seeing real-time cash out offers – allowing them to always know where their action stands while still focusing on the game.
- Exclusive Promotions: Sports fans will be served exclusive and personalized promotions for theScore Bet.
- Community Polling: See how picks are polling with other users of theScore, cast your vote and use the results to start building a bet slip.
