Genius Sports expands partnership with Czech operator Tipsport through data, trading and live streaming deal

Data and tech provider Genius Sports announced Thursday it has agreed to a major expansion of its long-term partnership with Czech sportsbook operator Tipsport. The agreement includes official data-driven content for EPL, Euroleague and the NFL.

Tipsport has agreed to a substantial uplift in the number of annual events covered by Genius Sports’ suite of data-driven PreMatch, LiveData and LiveTrading solutions "while maintaining full flexibility and control over each element of its sportsbook."

Genius Sports is set to deliver Tipsport real-time feeds and pin-point pricing for hundreds of competitions, including the EPL, NCAA Basketball, Euroleague Basketball and the NFL. Additionally, the operator will have access to Genius’ full NFL product suite, including access to the league’s real-time statistics, proprietary Next Gen Stats and official sports betting data feed. 

Genius Sports will also deliver thousands of low latency streams through its Streaming solution. Tipsport customers will benefit from what Genius calls "an enhanced live betting experience" through live streams of soccer leagues across Argentina, Colombia, Iceland and China, as well as dozens of FIBA basketball and FIVB volleyball leagues globally. 

Petr Komarek, Head of Data & Streaming at Tipsport, said: “Never-ending innovation is firmly part of our DNA so we’re thrilled to widen our partnership with Genius Sports for the upcoming years. Considering this strong bond, we’re excited to engage many more customers and provide them with our world-class services. We look forward to create compelling and unique projects together.”

Jack Davison, Chief Commercial Officer of Genius Sports, added: “Since the start of our partnership in 2016, we have worked closely with Tipsport to provide them with a growing suite of betting products and services that drive turnover, increase margins and maximize control. Across official data, trading and live streaming, we’re excited to continue playing a crucial role powering Tipsport’s first-class sportsbook.”
