'Sports' is an option on the main menu of the MrPlay Homepage. The original core products were the casino, live casino and scratchcards and then sports betting was added to the site. The main body of the sports page displays rolling banners for the current offers. Today's main betting events appear below these banners. There is also a link to Play Bot which provides tips but with the proviso that profits are not guaranteed.
There is a Search box on the left hand side of the screen, used to locate a sport, league or team by entering keywords and phrases. Featured Links list the most popular leagues which are generally related to the main domestic football competitions in Europe. The full list of sports appears below these links, initially by popularity and then n alphabetical order. Customers with MrPlay in New Zealand can bet on about 30 categories which is about average for the market.
