Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Bet365 is to meet demand from bettors by offering Opta-powered player and team stats bets across additional elite football competitions from Europe, Asia and Latin America.

The increased competition coverage is made possible by an expansion in supplier Stats Perform’s award-winning, premium Opta data feed, which is specifically built for trusted player and team stats betting. It is now available to power stats bets for a further 19 elite competitions, covering over 3000 additional matches per year.

The upgrade means licensed sportsbooks can now offer Opta-powered player and team stats markets for nearly double the previous coverage, reaching more than 7000+ matches per year in total, helping them drive further growth and thrill bettors with every shot, pass and tackle.

Stats markets have revitalised football betting in recent years, driven by Opta’s investment and uniquely trusted brand, and feature heavily in popular betting experiences like same-game multis.

Andrew Ashenden, Chief Betting Officer at Stats Perform, said: “Collecting and supplying Opta data for an additional 3,000 new matches to the standard required for frictionless, trusted player stats betting experiences is the culmination of months of work from our expert teams. This effort reinforces our commitment to helping operators innovate and create compelling, personalised products that their customers love. We are delighted that this ambition has been recognised by bet365, who have added these new competitions to their offering at the earliest opportunity.”

Alongside the expanded Opta data feed coverage, Stats Perform has added other key tools to enable more entertaining and trusted betting and more confident trading. The Opta Trading Viewer helps sportsbook trading teams optimise their trading, pricing and settlement workflows for stats markets, further improving customer experiences. The Same Game Multi Assistant, a fully hosted application inside Stats Perform’s Content Player Pro, helps bettors find in-form players across more than 15+ stats categories, for 250+ global leagues. This product gives bettors vital information before and during matches to help them more easily make betting decisions on stats markets, including those connected to same game multis, bet builders and pre-canned multis.

Stats Perform’s Ashenden said: “Our trusted, premium Opta player and team data has helped inject material growth into a mature football betting experience, in a way few believed possible. It has helped sportsbook operators to unlock new customer segments, reinvent betting entertainment and contribute significantly to margin, whilst creating trusted betting experiences that are phenomenally popular with users. All leading global sportsbooks choose Opta data to model, manage and trade these markets, help bettors track them in-running on their front end, and for settlement. We’re proud to be at the forefront of such innovation, grateful to our teams for their consistently high-quality work and to our licensed sportsbook partners like bet365 for their creativity and support. What’s more, this is still only the beginning of our ambitions to grow the space even further.”

From Entry-Level Candidates to Team Leads in a Year — How We Trained and Developed Affiliate Managers at Betmen Affiliates

Published

on

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

My name is Margarita, and I am the Director of the Betmen Affiliates program. We launched 1.5 years ago with just 10 active partners. Finding the perfect candidate for an affiliate manager role proved challenging—being such a specialised area, I reasoned that it was much better to train on the job. Therefore, after a short while running interviews, we hired two affiliate managers one of whom had no sales experience and the other who had no experience in traffic arbitrage. It was imperative to us that we hire driven, resourceful, hard-workers; it’s people like these who can launch a new brand almost from scratch and who easily understand that hitting targets sometimes means putting in more than the standard nine-to-six effort—sometimes working longer, sometimes harder.

 

How We Developed Two Entry-Level Affiliate Managers into Team Leads

How to Train Affiliate Managers: My Case Study

At first, both of my employees brought in very few partners, so I had to transfer some of my own over to them. At the same time, I demonstrated all the steps of partner contact. We began attending events together. Both Alex and Michael quickly took on all my recommendations, improved their skills, and eventually closed many successful deals.

An affiliate manager worth his or her salt must be able to sell the product and influence affiliates to promote it at our offered rate, promote our many payment options, and talk about conversions. 

 

From Affiliate Managers to Team Leads

By the time we needed a team lead, we had formed a close-knit team. Even though I interviewed several candidates for the position, hiring externally did not feel right. The ideal person for the role needed to have strong managerial skills as well as be able to connect with myself and my team. Michael and Alex both recommended each other for the role. I took both their recommendations on and promoted them both to the position. Both Alex and Michael had already proven themselves, were loyal, trust-worthy and hard-working, and always driven to meet their goals 

 

Conclusion: Why Should You Take a Chance on Newcomers?

I hired employees with almost no experience and I have no regrets. I now have a unique team that can deliver amazing results: in just a year and a half, we’ve increased the number of FTDs by 70 times and are steadily moving towards 80,000 monthly deposits. Here are the key takeaways from their stories:

→ A candidate’s enthusiasm is more important than relevant experience. You can teach anyone anything but you can’t spark passion in them. A future manager must be passionate about the work and strive for growth.  

→ An employee who grows within the company is highly loyal to their lead and the project. Having moved from a regular manager to a team lead, they are able to train new hires because they know the role inside out. The team will respect leaders who were once in their position.  

→ People who love their work drive the brand forward and achieve the best results. They focus not on working hours or weekdays but on the goals they need to accomplish.

I love my employees and am proud of them. I believe we are one of the strongest, most united, and professional teams in the industry.
