BetData SA publishes gambling datasets, not sportsbook promos. The site is being reset to research-publication mode: source-labelled data, downloadable files, no operator advertising, no deposit calls, and NRGP help on every page.
Newest dataset
What does the casino game index measure?
The dataset stores what can be cited cleanly: game name, category, provider, RTP label, house edge label, volatility note, caution flags, source publishers, and source URLs. It does not rank operators and it does not include affiliate URLs.
slots records, followed by crash and live.
Rows carry high-volatility or extreme-volatility wording. The dataset repeats that variance warning instead of hiding it.
Game-family distribution
Which game families dominate the dataset?
Slots dominate the current game universe. Crash games and live casino records are the next two largest groups. This is coverage count, not a recommendation.
Citation-ready table
Which rows are useful for RTP and volatility references?
These examples show why the dataset is a citation asset. Every row has responsible-gambling context and source URLs in the downloadable file.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aviator | crash | 97.00% | Medium to high (player chooses through cash-out strategy) | Spribe |
| Sweet Bonanza | slots | 96.48% | High | Pragmatic Play |
| Gates of Olympus | slots | 96.50% | High | Pragmatic Play |
| Plinko | crash | 97% to 99% | Player-selectable (Low/Medium/High) | Spribe |

| Online Blackjack | table | 99.4% to 99.87% (with basic strategy) | Low to medium | Wizard of Odds |
| Live Dealer Casino | live | Varies by game (roulette 97.30%, blackjack 99.4%+, game shows 94-97%) | Game-specific | Evolution |
| Video Poker | poker | 95% to 100.76% (depends on variant and paytable) | Medium | Wizard of Odds |
Interpretation: RTP is a long-run label. It is not a short-session forecast, an odds boost, or gambling advice.

What should other sites link to?
Link to the dataset page, not a money page. That keeps the citation natural and lets consumer sites cite the research internally.
