The agreement marks the first basketball deal for Sportradar since the acquisition of Synergy Sports

Sportradar, a leading global provider of sports data intelligence and sport entertainment solutions, today announced a comprehensive extended agreement with Ligue Nationale de Basket (LNB). The new agreement covers data collection and distribution, AV rights, media rights distribution, bet monitoring to ensure integrity, automated production and streaming service and the continuation of the OTT platform.

The multi-year deal begins at the start of the 2021/22 season and will see Sportradar become the official data partner of the LNB.  Sportradar will collect and distribute the LNB’s in-game data through Synergy Stats, their best-in-class courtside data collection system.

Synergy Sports, now a division of Sportradar, partners with all of the LNB teams through the use of their AI driven Automated Camera System and also serves as a distribution partner for the league’s AV rights.  Synergy Sports provides basketball teams, leagues and federations with a full end-to-end technology platform that offers automated video production and graphics.

Since the 2020/21 season, Sportradar has distributed the LNB’s media rights internationally and utilised its full technological capabilities to create the OTT platform LNB.TV which showcases game action and editorial content to enhance fan engagement. Coverage is live-streamed as well as being available on-demand.

Finally, the agreement also includes the provision of Sportradar’s advanced and proven bet monitoring system, the Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS), to monitor all LNB games for potential match manipulation. Last year, Sportradar Integrity Services detected over 500 suspicious matches across global sport and has reported more than 5,500 in the past 15 years.

David Lampitt, Managing Director, Sports Content and Partnerships at Sportradar, said: “The LNB is one of the most important basketball leagues in Europe and we look forward to expanding our relationship with them to grow the sport further and drive new commercial opportunities.

“Basketball is a strategically important sport for Sportradar, and the acquisition of Synergy Sports has extended our 360-degree capabilities in the creation and distribution of data and video content, enabling us to deepen our relationships with key basketball leagues and federations around the world. We are delighted to partner with the LNB and that they have put their trust in us to deliver advanced data, analytics and technology solutions.”

Michel Mimran, Managing Director, at Ligue Nationale de Basket, said: “This new agreement is very exciting for the LNB and will expand the way we work with a trusted partner. Sportradar will now provide us with end-to-end solutions on many fronts including AV production, AV rights as well as data collection and commercialisation. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with Sportradar for years to come.”

This contract is a win from Genius Sport despite their strong lock-in with basketball federations due to their Livestats system. Sportradar’s recent acquisition of Synergy Sports provides them with a system featuring the same capabilities. Basketball organisations now have greater choice from providers who can offer like-for-like services and are no longer reliant on one business for this service and creating a competitive market.

Essentially basketball bodies now have more choice of providers who can offer like-for-like services and are no longer reliant on one business for this. It’s a positive move for sports federations, leagues and clubs as it offers them more choice and is a move away from a monopolistic approach. They don’t have to lock-in with one provider anymore. It’s much better for the industry to have a competitive market.

What Types of Resources Help You Find New Online Casinos?

Published

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

As online betting and gambling are increasingly getting popular, more and more gambling portals and online casinos are sprouting up every day on the internet. With so many mobile applications and websites offering lucrative options, it can be quite overwhelming and confusing to find new online casinos which are both legitimate and safe. So, how do you make a decision?

This list of resources will help you clear out that confusion and help you analyse your choices more carefully and choose the right new online gambling site for yourself.

Read Reviews on Reputable Review Sites

Online review websites are one of the most reliable sources to ascertain how good a new online gambling site is. With the drastic increase in the number of online gambling portals and casinos, these review sites have become a frequent visit for many gambling enthusiasts. Such websites usually provide comprehensive reviews of different online casinos along with important information about their games, bonuses, payment methods, and customer support.

One pro tip is to look for reviews from industry experts and popular players to ensure you get a credible report and make a more informed decision accordingly.

Check for Proper Licensing

One of the most critical things before signing up for a new online gambling site is to check its legitimacy and licensing. On the portal, make sure to look for a valid license registered under a proper jurisdiction.

This will ensure that the company is a legally registered operation and that your personal and financial data is safe and secure.

Refer to News Websites and Blogs

Another credible way to find good new online casinos is to look through news websites and blogs that specifically talk about the gambling industry. These sites often publish dedicated articles about the latest trends and developments in the industry, including new site launches and promotions.

Often including reviews from experts, articles and blogs on these platforms is a good way to judge a new online gambling site and make your decision. That’s why it is advisable to keep an eye on such portals and stay updated and informed.

Join Online Forums and Communities

I believe that no one can give a better review of an online gambling website other than someone who has been on the portal and played the game themselves. While there are multiple such forums dedicated to the online gambling industry, some online casinos have their own forums dedicated to their players.

Being on these forums and communities is a good way to get in touch with industry experts and experienced players and personally get their reviews and recommendations on online casinos. You can also learn about new casinos, discuss different aspects of online gambling, and connect with other players who share your interests.

Check Social Media Platforms

It’s 2024 and no community is bigger than social media! Be it Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat or even Reddit, almost every individual and business is present over there including online gambling companies. With the easiest access to a very large number of people, online casinos have to maintain their presence and stay active on these platforms.

That’s why many online casinos have social media accounts across many of these platforms where they regularly post updates about their latest games, promotions, and other news. Thus, social media is one of the best ways to search for new online casinos. In fact, by following these casinos on social media, you can stay updated about their offerings and be among the first to know about any new developments.

Consider Bonuses and Promotions

A lot of new online casinos offer generous bonuses and promotional schemes like welcome bonuses, free spins, no or low deposits, etc., to attract new players.  If you ask me, I prefer playing on a portal that asks for the lowest deposits.

For this, I look for a list of low-deposit online casinos and research their bonuses and promotions to make sure they are lofty and worth my time. Do the same while picking out your online gambling website and chances are that you’ll start with a great deal.

Choosing a new gambling site from a pool of hundreds and thousands of casinos can be daunting, especially for beginners. However, using the right resources like review portals, online communities, blogs, etc., can help you indulge in a proper research process. On the other hand, using smart techniques like checking for licenses and promotional offers offered by the company can make the decision-making even smoother.

But at the end of the day, I believe that finding the right new gambling website really depends on how well-informed you are about the industry. Always make sure to stay updated and informed about whatever is happening in the industry and you’ll automatically find it easier to pick your new gambling website.
