Altenar powers smarter Bet Builder experiences as NFL season gets under way

Altenar has rolled out Bet Builder enhancements for the 2026 NFL season, introducing Direct Calculation and Bundles to give sportsbook operators greater flexibility and personalisation.

Press release.- Altenar is highlighting its enhanced Bet Builder capabilities as the 2026 NFL season gets under way, giving operators greater flexibility to create engaging betting experiences around one of the world’s most popular sporting competitions.

The NFL regular season kicks off this week with a full schedule of high-profile fixtures and the first regular-season NFL game in Australia. The international focus of the 2026 season is expected to create further opportunities for operators to engage audiences across different markets.

Altenar’s latest Bet Builder enhancements are designed to make it easier for players to create personalised combinations while giving operators more ways to present relevant betting opportunities around major sporting events.

Among the latest capabilities is Bet Builder Direct Calculation, which allows players to combine compatible selections directly from market groups without switching to a dedicated Bet Builder view. This creates a faster and more intuitive betting journey, particularly when players are exploring multiple markets within the same event.

Bet Builder Bundles further support this experience by grouping related selections into structured betting paths, helping operators present combinations in a more accessible format and encouraging players to explore a wider range of markets. Both Direct Calculation and Bet Builder Bundles were introduced for other sports earlier this year and have already been successfully used to enhance the Bet Builder experience.

The enhancements form part of Altenar’s wider product development programme, which also includes expanded micro markets powered by leading providers, automated Bet Cards and Popular Bet Builders, Player Tags, and a redesigned Sport Lobby. These capabilities are designed to give operators greater control over how betting content is presented and personalised across different player segments.

Giannis Papakonstantinou, director of sportsbook product at Altenar, commented: “Major events like the NFL season create a strong opportunity for sportsbooks to offer richer and more engaging betting experiences, but the technology behind those experiences needs to be flexible enough to support different player preferences and betting behaviours.

“With our latest Bet Builder enhancements, operators can make it easier for players to discover and combine relevant selections while retaining greater control over how those opportunities are presented. As the NFL season gets under way, this flexibility becomes particularly valuable across a market where player props, team performance and multiple in-game outcomes can all contribute to a more engaging betting experience.”

With the NFL season now up and running, Altenar’s Bet Builder capabilities provide operators with additional tools to build more flexible betting journeys around major fixtures, while supporting the wider goal of delivering personalised and engaging sportsbook experiences.
