New and Expanded Offerings Foster Personalization and Deeper Fan Engagement for NBA

Sportradar (NASDAQ: SRAD) is enhancing its partnership with the NBA this season through the introduction of a suite of innovative fan engagement solutions fuelling the passion of the league’s two billion global fans. These products represent the next phase in the evolution of basketball consumption benefitting not only the NBA but also operators and media partners looking to capitalize on the excitement surrounding one of the world’s most-watched and bet-on sports.

Sportradar, leveraging AI and its advanced, proprietary technology, has launched a suite of next-generation products for the NBA by accessing the full range of official NBA content, including skeletal tracking data. Sportradar is able to harness hundreds of thousands of data points from each game, enabling the rapid development of products that redefine the standards of fan engagement and open up new revenue streams for the NBA and its partners and Sportradar clients.

Virtualized Live Match Tracker: This innovative tool uses computer vision to transform real-time official NBA data into 3D visualizations that are delivered in a hyper-personalized stream, featuring customizable viewing angles and resulting in an immersive experience that keeps fans engaged in a betting operator’s app as they are served in-play betting opportunities.

4Sight Streaming: Launched earlier this year for tennis, and now available for basketball, 4Sight Streaming generates animated overlays and actionable insights by processing an unparalleled volume of deep data. This creates an enriched viewing experience that can predict the likely outcomes in a game so that fans can make informed real time betting decisions.

NBA Advanced Visualizations: Through rich, interactive graphics and animations, these visualizations leverage real-time skeletal tracking data to create engaging content, such as 3D animations, heat maps and player performance metrics, that enhance game analysis and add a dynamic element to support media companies’ storytelling about action on the court.

emBET: Following its successful launch on NBA League Pass earlier this year, emBET now allows bettors to actively monitor their wagers and is also now available on a wider range of devices, including internet-connected televisions and Android devices, increasing opportunities for fans to enjoy an interactive viewing and betting experience.

Eric Conrad, EVP, Rights & Strategic Partnerships – USA & Latam, Sportradar said: “Sportradar is committed to deepening our longstanding partnership with the NBA, while also supporting betting operators and media companies in capitalizing on the immense global popularity of the league. Sportradar’s proprietary technology, underpinned by the application of powerful AI to deep data, continues to reimagine how fans interact with the NBA.

• €4.05 billion transferred from Exchequer 
• A total of €10.4 billion has been transferred into the Future Ireland Fund and Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund established by the Government this year

The Minister for Finance, Jack Chambers TD, has announced the completion of the first annual transfer from the Exchequer to the Future Ireland Fund (FIF) of 0.8% of GDP (Gross Domestic Product), equal to a sum of €4.05 billion.

This builds on the transfers last month from the National Reserve Fund, with transfers of €2 billion to the Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund (ICNF) and  €4.3 billion payment to the FIF.

The FIF and ICNF are managed by the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA).

Minister Chambers said:

“This transfer is a milestone event for our new Future Ireland Fund, as well as for our economy and for the future development of our country. 

It demonstrates the progress we are making with both this fund and the Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund. These two long term savings funds are a vital element of managing the State’s finances in a prudent and responsible manner over the coming decades. In using the proceeds from volatile windfall tax receipts to help us meet the challenges we know our country will face, rather than using them to fund existing day to day expenditure, we are safeguarding and protecting our future.

”This transfer of 0.8pc of GDP means we will have invested more than €10bn in the two funds by the end of the year, with that figure expected to rise to €16bn by the end of 2025.

Frank O’Connor, Chief Executive of the NTMA, said:

“Following this transfer we now have €8.4 billion in the Future Ireland Fund and €2 billion in the Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund. 

Under the interim investment strategies for each fund, the NTMA is initially investing this money in a low-risk, high-credit quality portfolio of sovereign and quasi-sovereign bonds, with the aim of generating stable and reliable returns with minimal risk. 

We are currently designing appropriate long-term strategies for each fund and putting in place the necessary people, skills and supporting infrastructure to manage the funds for the long term”.
