Genius Sports Limited has expanded its Official Tracking Data partnership with Football DataCo (FDC), the data rights holder of UK soccer, to capture sub-second and skeletal tracking data across the Premier League (PL).

Genius Sports will continue as the Official Tracking Provider of FDC through its Second Spectrum technology. Already installed in every PL ground, Genius Sports’ technology is powered by state-of-the-art computer vision and AI and will now automatically capture sub-second positional data on every player and the ball.

FDC will also work with Genius Sports to develop and exploit skeletal tracking data for the benefit of the PL, fans, media partners and broadcasters. These new insights will create new opportunities for media partners and power richer fan experiences which could include dynamic, interactive metaverse applications that allow fans to put themselves directly into the action and control how they experience the game.

Global broadcast partners of the PL can access a suite of data-driven augmentation solutions, helping to bring their programmes to life with live statistics and metrics including player speeds and shot velocities. PL clubs will also be able to deploy Genius Sports’ advanced Insight feed to enhance performance through rich team and player metrics, integrated with machine-learned video indexing.

“Technology continues to drive how data is collected, analyzed and presented. Working with Genius Sports’ Second Spectrum technology enables Football DataCo to be at the cutting edge of what is possible, and we look forward to developing new ways of using data for our stakeholders,” Adrian Ford, General Manager of Football DataCo, said.

“This partnership is an important next step in demonstrating the way data and advanced technology can amplify storytelling and fan engagement. Genius has believed deeply in this vision for many years, which is now becoming a reality in partnership with Football DataCo and the Premier League. We’re incredibly excited to work on solutions to enhance how the most popular league in world soccer is consumed by millions of passionate fans worldwide,” Mark Locke, CEO of Genius Sports, said.

Entering the Netherlands iGaming market has been a dedicated dream for Altenar for sometime and as a result, achieving certification within the region has been a tremendous achievement for the sports betting software provider that has followed in the footsteps of many powerhouses in the iGaming space.

This is where Altenar, a sportsbook software provider, has sparked interest in the Netherlands market and understood that its bespoke services will bring something fresh and unique to the market space.

As the Netherlands market opened up, it became clear to Altenar that a niche space had arrived, much akin to Italy, Spain and Sweden where regulation and certificates were potentially subject to change, but were also a must-have requirement for operations within the Netherlands.

With gambling inside the Netherlands regulated under the Betting and Gambling Act 2021 or as it’s locally known, Wet op de kansspelen 2021 “BGA”, Altenar’s team has taken the time to ensure operators using its sports betting software will be able to operate legally, in line with the necessary regulatory requirements.

Given the Netherlands betting market’s heritage for arcade-based games, Altenar’s use of widget technology, amongst other features, will offer familiar forms of betting that have taken shape in newer and more accessible forms through the iGaming space.

So, what does Altenar, a sports betting software provider bring to the Netherlands market, where betting is prohibited unless licensed and what makes Altenar the perfect sports betting provider for the region?

A Great Addition For The Netherlands iGaming Portfolio

Having achieved certifications in the Netherlands market, has garnered inordinate interest from operators with Altenar, who is known for its flexible and stable approach to sports betting content, software and long-standing relationships across the world.

It’s from a strong core of adaptability that Altenar has been able to secure its foothold in the Netherlands market, but it’s also an attribute to what Altenar has to offer. You can discover more about Altenar’s new features, success stories and case studies through its website, www.altenar .com, while informing yourself of what your operations could look like with Altenar’s sportsbook software.

With 24/7 support, an always improving risk management system, top-tier sports content and a dedication to innovation, Altenar’s sportsbook is set to take the Netherlands by storm and you can go along for the ride by contacting Altenar’s passionate team today.

Joining Altenar as it covers new ground and finds new ways to provide top-of-the-range sports betting software and content for your players will be one of your best investments this year.

Liberia: Rep. Kolubah Wants Betting Legislated

October 22, 2022 Published by EuropeanGaming.eu

Montserrado County District#10 Representative, Yekeh Kolubah, said he will shortly introduce a bill in the Legislature to legalise sports betting in the country.

Representative Kolubah made the disclosure on October 12 when he was seen cutting tickets at one of Winners Incorporated sales centres in his district on Old Road.

The opposition lawmaker, who is on annual break, was spotted placing his drill, ahead of the crucial UEFA Champions’ League group stage round three matches.

According to him, the bill will seek to regulate gambling in Liberia by legalising every aspect of the market, noting that would be nice for the country that is already struggling in poverty under the George Weah administration.

Thousands of unemployed youths across the country have gravitated to sports gambling, which has attracted several international sports betting companies to set up shops in Liberia.

They gather at these betting parlours to gamble on televised soccer matches. Some say it is a good source of income and occupation, but others are not so sure.

In Liberia, sports betting has become a real job opportunity for young people, who converge daily at various betting parlours in Monrovia, including Winner’s Incorporated, DOXXBET, and BETTOMAX Liberia, among others to watch soccer matches on flat-screen televisions via satellite, placing their bets and waiting for the results.

Few youths at a gaming centre in Monrovia said that sports betting for them have become the only option since, in fact, they are jobless and without any source of income.

Winner’s Incorporated marketing manager, Randall Kaybee, said sports betting is “transforming lives of Liberians” for just a few Liberian dollars per bet.

“As you just enter my office, you can see from this evidence. This is a ticket. Somebody bet 50 LRD and won 233,275 Liberian dollars,” Kaybee said.

TENNIS DATA INNOVATIONS AND SPORTRADAR TEAM UP TO EXPAND OFFICIAL TENNIS DATA DISTRIBUTION

Tennis Data Innovations (TDI) and Sportradar, the leading global sports technology company creating immersive experiences for sports fans and bettors, have announced a new partnership to expand distribution of official ATP Tour and ATP Challenger Tour tennis data and provide enhanced experiences for tennis fans around the world.

The partnership is centered around the introduction of a new secondary feed, which enables the provision of betting-related services based on official ATP Tour and ATP Challenger Tour scores to a suite of global bookmakers. Until now, these bookmakers have not had access to official data. With scores delivered directly from the umpire’s chair, the new feed provides full and uninterrupted coverage of ATP Tour and ATP Challenger Tour events across the season, including all qualifying and doubles matches, allowing bookmakers to offer the most stable and reliable in-play betting markets and an enhanced experience to end-users.

The new feed is being delivered in parallel with the existing official fast data feed and is made possible through a sub-licensing agreement with Sportradar, TDI and IMG Arena. This approach expands the reach of the official data by offering an alternative feed to bookmakers and broadens access to tennis betting experiences powered by official scores.

Under the deal, Sportradar has also joined the list of suppliers licensed to provide odds and trading services based on the official fast data feed. The partnership serves to further enhance the integrity of the sport, by establishing contractual relationships and transparency requirements to a wider group of bookmakers.

David Lampitt, TDI CEO: “We’re delighted to welcome Sportradar, a leader and innovator in the sports data industry, as a supply partner to TDI. Together with our existing family of world-class partners, they are helping us expand the distribution of the best tennis data feeds to customers all around the world and generate new revenue streams to invest back into the sport.”

Moritz Gloeckler, Sportradar MD Partner and Content Management said: “By taking a constructive and innovative commercial approach, TDI has found a way to serve another part of the market with official data. This sub-licence agreement enables Sportradar to improve the depth and availability of trusted products to sportsbooks who were previously unable to access official data, broadening the appeal of ATP Tour and ATP Challenger Tour events to fans and bettors.”

We are thrilled to sponsor 600 races over the next 3 years. As this is our first major Racing sponsorship, it was important to find the right partner and the right quality races that match our vision and ambition for the BetUK brand. Racing punters are already enjoying over 40,000 live-streamed races from around the world on our site and we are sure this high-profile sponsorship will further cement BetUK as a punters’ favourite”.

Regarding the deal with BetUK, Director of Commercial Strategy & Partnerships at ARC, David Leyden Dunbar, said; “As the All-Weather Championships enter their tenth season, they are now a firmly established part of the British Horse Racing calendar. I’m delighted to welcome our new partner, BetUK, to the Championships and thank them for their support of the Sprint, Middle Distance and Marathon categories. The Championships continue to provide a compelling racing narrative with plenty of exciting action ahead over the winter period taking us through to the crowning of our new Champions on Good Friday with £1 million in prize money on offer”.

The first meeting gets underway at Newcastle Racecourse during the afternoon of October 18th, with BetUK offering exclusive promotions to players ahead of the opening fixture.
