New ebasketball odds feeds from Kambi Group’s Esports division creates an all-in-one solution for operators seeking always-on betting content for basketball fans

Abios, a global leader in esports data and odds provision and part of the Kambi Group, has launched a full ebasketball odds feed with accompanying stats and real-time streams, creating an all-in-one solution for sportsbooks looking to offer continuous content for basketball fans. It is based on Abios’ partnership with betting content and data supplier BETER.

Esoccer became one of the most bet-on verticals on the Kambi network after the launch of Abios’ odds feed and to build on its success Abios has launched ebasketball, based on BETER`s proprietary ESportsBattle tournaments. Ebasketball will be added to Kambi’s comprehensive Esports betting options, as well as direct from Abios as part of its wider esports portfolio.

With 3,000+ monthly events, ebasketball provides a digital counterpart to NBA and other major basketball leagues. It offers consistent content for operators, allowing them to deliver engaging, 15-minute matches in NBA2K during the off-season and between high-tier matches.

Abios’ all-in-one solution for ebasketball includes an odds feed, stats, and real-time streams, enabling users to stay on-site to consume the content.

Powered by data through a partnership with BETER, Abios’ highly automated odds feed allows for greater market efficiency and uptime while minimising bet delays. To account for edge cases and add the “human touch”, Abios’ odds feed is monitored 24/7 by a team of seasoned traders across the globe.

Anton Janér, Managing Director and Founder at Abios, said: “Seeing the popularity of esoccer among our partners, we’re thrilled to create a similar solution for ebasketball. With its easy-to-understand nature and engaging gameplay, we’re confident it will help sportsbooks attract and retain fans of major basketball leagues and fill in the gaps in the seasonal sports calendar.”

Chuck Robinson, Chief Revenue Officer at BETER, said: “Fast-paced esports contests are increasingly vital for operators looking to fill gaps in their offerings, providing fresh opportunities for both acquisition and retention, and meeting the demands of the growing audience of Millennials and Gen Z.

“The key to delivering an immersive betting experience lies in reliable data and high-quality, accurate odds. BETER’s role as a trusted provider of live data, 24/7 streaming, and odds for esports is further highlighted by our long-term collaboration with Abios. By leveraging our ESportsBattle tournaments, Abios is enhancing its offerings, delivering engaging and high-value experiences for their operator partners. This launch of ebasketball content is set to be a great success for both BETER and Abios.”

In the spirit of Halloween, the FBM Foundation brought smiles and support to the indigenous children of Subic through its heartwarming “Treats for Our Champions” initiative. Partnering with St. Francis Learning Center Foundation, Inc., the Foundation aimed not only to provide essential goods but also to create a day filled with joy, tradition, and Halloween cheer.

The FBM Foundation, in partnership with St. Francis Learning Center Foundation, Inc., organized the “Treats for Our Champions” event. This initiative allowed for the donation of 60 sacks of rice, 1,500 assorted canned goods, 50 packs of condiments, and 60 packs of milk. Beyond these essential supplies, the children enjoyed a Halloween celebration filled with treats and cultural pride. Traditional Indigenous dance performances and role-playing activities organized by the children themselves offered a heartfelt showcase of their heritage and talent, adding color and cultural significance to the day.

“We went beyond the donation in this event by bringing a meaningful experience that nurtured joy, pride, and community spirit. Seeing the children’s smiles and hearing their laughter as they exchanged goodies truly underscored the success of this initiative,” stated Lulu Barreras, FBM Foundation Project Coordinator in the Philippines.

Alongside the donations, the FBM Foundation distributed Halloween-themed treats, including candies and small toys, which brought an extra dose of happiness to the children. The event was met with touching moments, such as children who had already received toys kindly returning them, saying they wanted to share with other kids. This heartwarming behavior demonstrated the strong community values instilled by the caregivers at St. Francis Learning Center Foundation.

Part of the initiative was also made possible through the “Keepy-Uppy Charity Challenge” success, a partnership celebrated between FBM Foundation and FBMDS, the online casino gaming provider from the group, during the G2E Las Vegas casino gaming trade-show.

Booth visitors joined this challenge with enthusiasm, where each keepy-uppy added $1 to support meaningful causes. Thanks to everyone’s involvement, FBM Foundation raised nearly $1,000, which helped bring the “Treats for Our Champions” event to life. This collective effort turned fun into impactful support for the indigenous children of Subic, making the day truly special.

The FBM Foundation’s dedication to supporting communities extends beyond material contributions. Through meaningful partnerships with organizations like St. Francis Learning Center Foundation, Inc., the Foundation continues to build and nurture relationships within communities, helping to create brighter futures for those most in need.
