Sportradar expands Betway partnership to include its ad:s marketing platform, AV services

Sports technology company Sportradar announced Wednesday an expanded partnership with online betting and gaming brand Betway, making Sportradar its sports data and technology provider of choice. The partnership builds upon the current agreement between the two parties, which had been focused on sports betting services. 

The expansion means Betway has, for the first time, partnered with Sportradar to utilize both ad:s, the global technology provider’s multi-channel performance marketing platform, and its Audio Visuals services, featuring a global portfolio of live streaming sports content. 

Led by a team of expert channel strategists, Sportradar’s ad:s service is based on its understanding of online behaviors and features proprietary technology that will enable Betway to "effectively engage, acquire, retain and grow customers across display, video and social channels, as well as deliver a more personalized experience."

Meanwhile, Sportradar’s AV offering provides 400,000 live sports events per year and gives Betway’s customers access to popular competitions including Germany’s Bundesliga, Spain’s Copa del Rey, and top US sports properties such as the NBA, MLB and NHL. 

Ed Blonk, Chief Commercial Officer at Sportradar, said: "Sportradar's intelligence-driven technology, underpinned by AI and coupled with our deep understanding of the sports industry, supports global top-tier operators like Betway in attracting new customers and engaging existing ones in multiple ways.”

“By creating an enhanced, highly personal experience for customers, sportsbooks are now able to differentiate their offering to establish loyalty, drive growth and be distinctive in an increasingly competitive environment,” he added. 

Anthony Werkman, CEO of Betway, commented: "We're really excited by our latest agreement with Sportradar that allows us to engage our customers across a variety of devices, platforms, and channels, which further enhances the sports betting experience."

The expanded agreement between the two companies continues to provide Sportradar's betting services including Bet Entertainment Tools, Live Odds, Pre-Match Odds and the distribution of Live Data from sports competitions, offering Betway "further opportunities to engage their customers and enrich the user experience."

This is the first major deal for Sportradar in the new year, which concluded 2022 holding 41 licenses, or equivalent, in North America across US states, territories, tribes, and Canada, after obtaining a sports betting provider license in Ohio last month. The company offers its services to a wide range of clients operating within these jurisdictions, 'advancing transparency and integrity, and delivering accurate sports data to sanctioned sports betting and gaming agencies,' Sportradar says.
