Altenar launches Market Bundles to simplify sportsbook navigation

Altenar launched Market Bundles on 16/10/2026 to help sportsbook operators reduce clutter and speed up market discovery for players. The front-end feature groups related betting markets into editable tabs, supports renaming and translation by region, and uses drag-and-drop management so operators can change layouts without developer intervention.

What Market Bundles is and how it works

Market Bundles is a front-end capability built by Altenar that places related betting markets into labelled tabs inside the sportsbook interface. When a user views an event, bundles appear as distinct tabs so customers can switch between market groups with a couple of clicks rather than scrolling through hundreds of individual markets.

Operators can create a bundle, give it a customised title, and translate that title for different jurisdictions. Bundles are populated with the specific markets the operator chooses; the same markets can be reorganised into different bundles for different regions or brands. Management is handled through Altenar’s content controls where bundles can be edited, new markets added, or unwanted markets removed.

Market bundles and sportsbook UX: grouping markets to reduce visual noise

The primary UX problem Market Bundles addresses is overchoice. Modern sportsbooks often expose hundreds of markets for a single event, which can overwhelm novice bettors and slow experienced users. Altenar positions the feature as a way to reduce visual noise by clustering long lists into coherent groups.

Bundling changes the on-screen hierarchy: instead of one long column of market titles and prices, the interface shows a short set of tabs with meaningful labels and a smaller number of markets per tab. Operators decide those labels and the market composition, so the arrangement can emphasise local preferences or strategic product priorities.

Operator controls and workflow

Operators manage bundles from the sportsbook back office without writing code. Key management options include:

• creating and naming a new bundle

• assigning specific markets to a bundle

• translating bundle names for regional deployments

• editing bundles to add or remove markets

• reordering bundles via drag-and-drop into existing market groups

This workflow lets product teams iterate layout and content quickly. Because bundles can be edited after publication, operators can respond to user behaviour or promotional plans without a platform release.

How Market Bundles affects retention and conversion

Altenar argues that easier navigation increases the likelihood of a customer placing a bet and returning to the site. When markets are grouped under intuitive titles and surfaced via tabs, the time-to-find a market shortens and the interface presents fewer competing choices at once. The vendor frames this as a tool to reduce churn and improve repeat engagement by making the betting journey faster and less error-prone.

For operators focused on product differentiation, the ability to select titles for each tab also becomes a branding lever. A unique set of bundle names and groupings can make a site look distinct from competitors, while the same mechanism helps localise the product for specific markets.

Technical and product fit for operators and suppliers

Market Bundles is a front-end, client-facing feature that relies on the operator’s market feed and the Altenar presentation layer. It is designed to sit atop existing market availability: bundling does not change odds or the markets offered by the trading feed, it only reorganises how those markets are presented to the end user.

For operators built on the Altenar stack, deployment is a content-configuration task rather than an integration project. For third-party or white-label operators using Altenar’s front end, the licence-holder or platform integrator will control the bundle configuration.

Where to use Market Bundles and next steps

Operators can use Market Bundles across sports verticals and events where market counts are high — for example major football matches and high-profile tennis events — to reduce scroll time and clarify choices. Product teams should consider grouping markets by outcome type (main markets, player markets, exotic markets) or by customer intent (pre-match, live, quick-bets) depending on their user base.

Altenar invites operators to book a demo to see Market Bundles in action and to discuss how the feature can be configured for a given brand. The feature is part of Altenar’s broader sportsbook toolkit and is presented as an operator-controlled way to streamline the front end.

Practical implications for product and CX teams

Product owners should test bundles with real user segments to find the grouping strategy that reduces friction most effectively. UX teams can measure impact via time-to-first-bet, conversion on a selected market and return visits. Content teams will use the translation ability to tailor bundle labels to local language and terminology.

Sportsbooks that prioritise rapid discovery and lower on-screen complexity will find Market Bundles relevant to both retention and brand differentiation. For operators evaluating front-end features, Market Bundles is a configuration-led option that avoids engineering cycles while changing the customer experience.

"Market Bundles allows markets to be grouped together, making navigation simple and understandable for every user," Altenar wrote in its product announcement.

Altenar released the feature on 16/10/2026 and positioned it as a way to streamline complex content and reduce player churn. Operators interested in hands-on evaluation are encouraged to request a demonstration through Altenar’s sales channels.
