24.11.2013 - Future Release Plans for WorldCup 2014
After a long break the betster crew is back on the road again! A major
release for spring is planned, since the next soccer world cup is
coming closer.
A main feature, which will be added is static
accounts, where the admin can manually create accounts. This is
helpful for community betting in intranets, where the admin collects
the fee and hands out the login data.
05.08.2007 - Version 1.0.1 released - It is a bug-fix release. The demo
betoffice will be updated in the
next days.
What's new? The sequence of the categories can be changed in the backend.
24.01.2007 - Documentation added
21.01.2007 - The 1.0 version has been released, and there is a
new website online with a demo bet-office for testing purposes
http://betster.anarchotronik.com, which runs better than
the old one on the sourceforge server. The usernames are "admin", "user1", "user2" and "user3"
and the password is "12345" for all.
Join it!

What is Betster?
Betster is an OpenSource Software to create a online bet office
based on PHP and MySQL. The system works with variable Quotes and
a totalisator. You bet not for money but with credits. The
initial amount of credits which a user gets at the registration
