Oddin.gg launches eHockey with 1,600 studio-produced matches per month

Oddin.gg has expanded its fast betting content portfolio with the launch of eHockey, a round-the-clock head-to-head ice hockey product designed to provide sportsbooks with a continuous schedule of short-format matches. According to the company, eHockey is expected to deliver approximately 1,600 studio-produced matches each month while the wider portfolio continues to expand across sports-inspired formats.

The launch comes as the 2026-27 NHL season begins on September 29. That timing represents a correction to the original announcement wording, which described the release as arriving a week before the NHL season. The official NHL schedule confirms that the season starts on September 29, making the Oddin.gg announcement, published on September 27, only two days ahead of opening night.

Oddin.gg positions eHockey as part of a wider strategy focused on supplying frequent betting opportunities during periods when traditional sporting competitions are not taking place. The company's model relies on short matches played by real people in a controlled studio environment, with trading and risk management handled by its internal team.

eHockey expands the fast betting schedule

The central proposition behind eHockey is continuity. Traditional ice hockey betting is closely tied to the calendar of professional leagues and tournaments. By contrast, the new product is designed to operate independently of those schedules and provide sportsbook operators with additional content throughout the day.

Oddin.gg said eHockey and eTouchdown together now account for more than 4,600 studio-produced hockey and American football matches per month. The figure combines approximately 1,600 eHockey matches with more than 3,000 monthly eTouchdown matches, creating a substantial stream of short-format events for operators.

Pete Camden, Director of Fast Betting Content at Oddin.gg, linked the development of eHockey to the performance of the company's American football offering.

“Between April and August, eTouchdown handle grew 16-fold before a single regular-season snap,” said Pete Camden, Director of Fast Betting Content at Oddin.gg. “That showed us football demand doesn’t switch off in February. eHockey applies the same logic to hockey: a format nobody needs explained to them, available around the clock.”

The company’s comments suggest that fast betting content is intended to supplement rather than replace established sports wagering products. The objective is to offer operators more opportunities to present familiar sports formats when major competitions are unavailable or scheduled for another time zone.

Match structure and betting markets

eHockey matches are designed to last approximately 16 to 20 minutes, giving them a considerably shorter cycle than many conventional professional ice hockey fixtures. Oddin.gg said the product supports both pre-match and live betting.

At launch, the available markets include match and period winners, goal totals, team totals, handicaps, correct score, nth-goal and parity markets. This range gives operators multiple ways to construct a betting offering around each match rather than relying on a single outcome market.

For sportsbook integration, Oddin.gg is offering eHockey through its odds feed as well as a turnkey iFrame option. The company said customers using its Odds Feed and trading services can request activation, while the broader iFrame rollout is planned for after SBC Summit Lisbon.

From an operational perspective, the format also gives operators a more predictable structure. Shorter matches can move from one event to another at a faster rate, while live markets create additional points at which users can interact with the product.

eTouchdown and eFootball continue to scale

The launch of eHockey follows the expansion of eTouchdown, Oddin.gg's American football head-to-head product. The company said eTouchdown has scaled to more than 3,000 live matches per month, with games involving real players in referee-verified competition. The content is delivered with proprietary video and premium graphics.

Oddin.gg has also reported significant activity across eFootball. The company said its soccer product now runs 33,000 matches a month, making it the largest individual title in its fast betting portfolio.

Together, these figures illustrate the scale Oddin.gg is targeting across its content catalogue. The company said the broader portfolio already includes soccer, basketball, cricket, CS2 Duels and Dota 2 Duels alongside its newer sports-focused products.

The approach gives fast betting content a distinct role within sportsbook content strategies. Rather than depending entirely on major competitions, operators can use high-frequency products to maintain an active schedule across more parts of the day.

Oddin.gg focuses on coverage between major fixtures

Marek Suchar, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Oddin.gg, described the commercial rationale behind the expansion as a response to gaps in the traditional sports calendar.

“Every one of these titles adds a few thousand matches a month and that is the point,” said Marek Suchar, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Oddin.gg. “Operators aren’t short of content on a Champions League night. They’re short of it on a Monday afternoon and that’s where a sportsbook’s engagement numbers are decided. We’re building a catalog that makes those hours worth opening the app for, wherever the operator is.”

Suchar has held a senior leadership role at Oddin.gg for several years and is identified by the company as a co-founder and managing director. Pete Camden is likewise identified by Oddin.gg as Director of Fast Betting Content.

The comments also place eHockey within Oddin.gg's broader move to build a catalogue of recurring content rather than relying solely on established esports competitions or major sporting events.

Timing aligns with the hockey and football calendars

The timing of the launch is particularly relevant because the NHL's 2026-27 regular season begins on September 29 while the NFL is already several weeks into its regular season. The NFL's official calendar records the regular-season opener on September 5 and shows Week 3 activity taking place in late September.

That means eHockey enters the market at the start of a new NHL campaign while eTouchdown is already operating during the opening stages of the NFL season. The positioning allows the company to frame its fast betting catalogue around two widely recognized sports rather than introducing formats without an established sporting reference.

This is also relevant for international operators. Conventional league schedules can produce long periods without matches in particular local time zones. Oddin.gg's model is intended to fill those intervals with consistently scheduled content.

Demonstrations planned in Lisbon and Las Vegas

Oddin.gg said it will demonstrate eHockey and eTouchdown at SBC Summit Lisbon and G2E Las Vegas. The dates are also current and confirmed by the events' official organizers. SBC Summit 2026 is taking place in Lisbon from September 29 to October 1 while G2E 2026 runs from September 28 to October 1 at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas.

The two appearances provide an opportunity for operators, platform providers and other industry participants to review the products as Oddin.gg expands its fast betting offering. For the company, the events also place the new content in front of an international B2B audience at a time when its portfolio is moving beyond established esports titles.

Conclusion

Oddin.gg's launch of eHockey adds another high-frequency product to a fast betting strategy built around short matches, recurring schedules and live wagering availability. The approximately 1,600 monthly eHockey matches complement more than 3,000 eTouchdown matches and form part of a broader portfolio that also includes a reported 33,000 monthly eFootball matches.

The product's arrival alongside the opening of the 2026-27 NHL season gives the launch a clear market context. With eHockey, eTouchdown and other titles operating alongside established esports offerings, Oddin.gg is expanding the range of content that sportsbooks can present outside the schedules of major leagues and tournaments. The next stage will be the wider rollout of the product and its demonstration to industry stakeholders in Lisbon and Las Vegas.
