Desktop Layout Builder (Betbook)

Your desktop layout is more than just structure - it shapes how players explore, interact, and place bets.

With the new Desktop Layout Builder for Betbook, you can design and manage desktop page layouts directly from the CMS, without relying on development. Whether you're optimizing navigation, highlighting key content, or refining betslip behavior, everything is now configurable in one place.

The result is faster iteration, better control, and a more tailored sportsbook user experience for your players.

Why It Matters

Every detail of a layout affects how users interact with your platform. Where navigation sits, how content is presented, and how accessible the betslip is — all of it impacts engagement, sportsbook conversion, and overall player interaction.

The Desktop Layout Builder gives you the tools to:

• Adapt layouts for different pages and use cases
• Control how content is structured and prioritized
• Optimize betting flows with flexible betslip placement
• Make changes instantly, without release cycles

Instead of fixed layouts, you now have a modular system you can adjust anytime to optimize sportsbook UX and support better betting behavior outcomes.

What You Can Control

At the core of the Desktop Layout Builder is a zone-based layout model built for flexible betting interface layout management.

Each page layout is divided into three main areas:

Left Zone (Navigation Area)

Used for menus and navigation components. This is where players browse sports, categories, or other entry points.

You can configure:

• Navigation widgets;
• Visibility and behavior;
• Fixed or dynamic positioning.

Central Zone (Content Area)

This is the main content space - where your betting experience lives.

You can define:

• Widget placement (events, markets, promotions);
• Content width and structure;
• Layout variations for different page types.

This area plays a central role in betting interface optimization and broader iGaming frontend optimization workflows.

Right Zone (Functional Area)

Typically used for the betslip and related controls.

You can configure:

• Betslip behavior;
• Additional functional widgets;
• Visibility and positioning.

Flexible Betslip Behavior

One of the most impactful features is the ability to control how the betslip behaves on desktop.

You can choose between:

• Fixed betslip – always visible, anchored in place;
• Floating betslip – adapts to user interaction and screen flow.

This structure allows you to optimize for different user behaviors — whether you want constant visibility or a more flexible, content-first experience designed to improve betting engagement and reduce friction inside the sportsbook frontend.

How It Works

The Desktop Layout Builder is fully integrated into the CMS and follows a structured configuration flow.

Layout Assignment per Page

Each page can have its own layout.

You define this in: CMS → Pages → Settings → Layout

This means you can tailor layouts for:

• Main sportsbook pages;
• Widget-driven pages;
• Custom landing experiences.

Layout Management

All layouts are managed centrally in: CMS → Appearance → Layouts.

Here you can:

• Create new layouts;
• Edit existing ones;
• Reuse layouts across multiple pages.

Two layouts are available by default:

• General – standard layout for most pages;
• Sportsbook – optimized for sports-enabled brands.

These can be used as-is or customized further for advanced sportsbook UI customization and scalable iGaming frontend management.

Built for Speed and Flexibility

The key advantage of the Desktop Layout Builder is that it removes the dependency on development for layout changes.

Instead of waiting for releases, you can:

• Adjust layout structure instantly;
• Test different configurations;
• Iterate based on user behavior.

This makes it easier to respond to business needs, promotions, or UX improvements in real time. 

For operators focused on sportsbook UX optimization, the advantage is a faster path to experimentation that allows teams to reduce drop-offs through continuous interface refinement.

Behind the Scenes

Layouts are defined as structured configurations that control:

• Zone composition (left, central, right);
• Widget placement within each zone;
• Behavior rules (such as fixed vs. floating elements);
• Page-level layout assignment.

When a page loads, the system applies the selected layout and renders each zone accordingly, ensuring consistent behavior while still allowing full flexibility across different pages.

This architecture supports scalable betting interface design and more efficient iGaming UX design processes across sportsbook products.

Already Live and Ready to Use

The Desktop Layout Builder is already available in production.

This product gives operators more direct control over the sportsbook frontend while helping teams improve player engagement and increase sportsbook conversion through faster UX iteration.

Design Without Limits

The Desktop Layout Builder shifts layout control from development to configuration.

It gives you the freedom to experiment, optimize, and tailor your Betbook experience - all from within the CMS.

Because in a competitive environment, how your platform looks and behaves isn’t just design - it’s strategy.
