Set up the Betting Panel
The Betting Panel is one of the optional engagement panels available to add to your PANDA channel’s broadcasts.
The Betting Panel works by pulling in real-time betting lines from Online Sports Books (OSBs) and displaying them so that viewers can place bets directly from the stream they are watching.
To set up the Betting Panel in your PANDA channel:
- 1
From your Channel Dashboard, click Settings on the far-left menu.
- 2
Click Broadcast Settings to see all of the OSBs currently supported on PANDA.

Check the Enable box of the OSB you wish to add to the Betting Panel.
- 4
As applicable, enter your Affiliate Code in the provided field.
- 5
Enter a Default Forced Link in the provided field or rely on OSB-generated destinations for those wishing to place a bet (varies by OSB).
- 6
If desired, click Add State Specific Forced Link to add links for betters from specific states (as determined by PANDA’s geo-location feature).
- 7
Below the individual OSB boxes, choose an option from the Default OSB menu to set the OSB viewers will see in the Betting Panel.

Check the Broadcast Options box if you would like to default to a previously selected event/category (e.g. basketball > NBA) for all subsequent broadcasts.
