Reading Time: 4 minutes

 

Bettingmetrics (Panorama Partners Ltd), a sports betting platform that allows bet-tracking and analysis, have announced that they have successfully completed their second investment round led by RLC Ventures and its Founder, Reece Chowdhry, who has been serving the company as a Board Advisor.

Bettingmetrics is a platform where betting activities are collated into a single place and where punters and bookmakers are connected like never before. The online platform allows punters to read news, compare odds, place bets, as well as track and analyse their betting performance. After winning the London Accelerator programme, they launched their first prototype in February 2017. Then they raised £25,000 for their first funding round in November 2018 to move the product quickly ahead – since their funding round, they have managed to gather a strong team of developers and marketers to enable them to adopt new technologies. Their focus remains on building a unique platform that combines all betting activities in one place, from reading tips and news, comparing stats and odds to placing the bet and analysing the historical data. They have been able to build a more complete version of the service based on customer feedback and the company’s mission to create a data-driven social betting community.

According to the Bettingmetrics founders, the second-round funding will be used for hiring more developers and marketing professionals. They will stick to their ultimate goal of bringing all betting activities under one roof. The team will develop the platform further to add an odds comparison feature with an exceptionally strong focus on efficient and transparent odds comparison that delivers the best-in-the-industry in-play odds comparison experience. Furthermore, they will enhance their bet tracker and analytics to reach a stage where users will be able to receive betting suggestions on how to improve their betting performance based entirely on their own betting data which is unique. As of now, there are no other providers of similar service. Moreover, as a customer-centric business they will facilitate the use of the product by continuously collecting users’ feedback and by improving UX and UI. Bettingmetrics are currently experiencing approximately 10% monthly growth on the user data base.

Founders of Bettingmetrics, Martin Grozev and Slavomir Semov, have been working on the company since summer 2016 and they are positive about the progress that has been made as well as the future ahead.

“I am exceptionally proud with Bettingmetrics bet tracker and advanced analytics. We are certainly the best sports betting portfolio management software available on the market as of today. Clearly, we are super ambitious as a team and we want to help punters make more informed and data-driven betting decisions. In the very near future, we are taking Bettingmetrics to a whole new level where punters will be able to benefit from an AI algorithm that will analyse their results, and which will provide them with a clear way of how to improve their betting performance. As a person who bets I have always dreamt for that feature. The feedback we have received form Bettingmetrics users have confirmed the huge market need for that specific feature.” – Martin Grozev, co-founder of Bettingmetrics.

“We realise every now and then we want to place a tenner on their favourite team playing on Saturday. Bettingmetrics is a platform that combines all betting activities in one place, as well as an entertainment hub where punters can enjoy reading betting news and tips among the variety educational articles that are available and can be updated on our platform on a regular basis. We have recently launched our first version, and now we are not only the bets sport betting portfolio management software, but we are also a hub where punters can enjoy our newly developed odds comparison. Bettingmetrics odds comparison is really vibrant and it has a strong focus on the in-play experience as well as on the odds updates. As you can imagine I am regular bettor and I really get frustrated when the odds comparison sites quote one odd and when I go to the bookie website it is totally different. Bettingmetrics’ odds comparison resolves that problem, by adopting the news and the most reliable technologies which I am sure people will enjoy.” – Slavomir Semov

Funding

Bettingmetrics was funded by RLC Ventures since their first round. The great traction the product had been able to enjoy initially captured a strong interest from RLC Ventures to invest in the company. RLC Ventures is a seed/early-stage venture capital firm that focuses on backing millennial and diverse founders, in industries such as Fintech, Proptech, Enterprise, Social Impact Tech and AI. Martin describes that “the fundraising process is always an exciting, time and energy-consuming as well as sometimes stressing activity. But I consider the fundraising process as a unique opportunity to get the business critically evaluated by particularly successful people. I enjoy being asked smart and provocative questions.” The last fundraising process itself took between two to three months.

Martin also added, “RLC Ventures helped us in numerous ways. We were very lucky to have Reece from RLC Ventures on our side as he helped us a great deal with leads and introduced us to a lot of investors – some of whom did become investors in Bettingmetrics. Reece is really young and is a proactive individual. He helped Bettingmetrics also by introducing us to the right legal team and, of course, by helping us with everything else we asked him. What impressed me the most was his energy and enthusiasm of getting the job done and that he was available 24/7. That really is the way we work in Bettingmetrics as well so that resonated very well with our team culture and has resulted correspondingly in a successful fundraising.”

Reece Chowhry, CEO and Founder of RLC Ventures, said, “Bettingmetrics has built a world-class analytics and odds-checking platform. The team have demonstrated brilliant traction, growing their user base by 10% per month and achieving solid growth in recurring revenue. We are excited to back the excellent team in this next stage of growth and product development.”

SUPERSCALE RAISES $1.2 MILLION FOR GAME BUSINESS ANALYTICS ‘SUPERPLATFORM’

Published

on

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 SuperScale, the game business analytics company, announces it has secured an investment round of $1.2 million to support the launch and rapid expansion of SuperPlatform, the ultimate game business analytics platform.

SuperPlatform solves a critical industry challenge: aligning changes in game business strategy from top to bottom with consistent and trustable data that is always up-to-date. The platform provides executives with a single source of reliable, standardized business insights from across the organization in order to execute data-backed strategies with coherence and confidence. After a soft launch in August 2024, 60 studios are already using SuperPlatform to understand their entire business in one integrated platform.

The fresh funding round was led by existing investors including Across Private Investments, LevelUp Ventures, Zero One Hundred, and Venture to Future Fund, along with new investor Strecko Investments. Following the successful soft launch and strong market adoption of SuperPlatform, SuperScale has already become cashflow positive and is extending the current funding round by a further $2.15 million by the end of 2024, positioning the company for sustained success.

The no-SDK SuperPlatform integration ensures consistency of business data from over 40 sources across marketing, product, and finance, providing an all-in-one, AI-powered view of games business performance. It brings games studios and publishers all the flexibility and data ownership of an internal solution at a fraction of the cost of today’s fragmented tools. SuperPlatform includes advanced features such as predictive modeling, automated data health monitoring, and hundreds of standardized use cases—all tailored to the unique needs of individual decision makers inside game organizations of all sizes.

A standout feature of SuperPlatform is its ‘Command Center’ which enables gaming executives and investors to model shifts in strategy, and execute them across their organizations. Whether a CEO of an indie studio focused on maximizing short-term cash flow or a Portfolio GM aiming to boost first-year profits in a larger gaming organization, SuperPlatform provides decision-makers with the accurate success criteria needed to align their teams with the organization’s goals.

Ivan Trančík, Founder and CEO of SuperScale, commented:

“Apple’s privacy changes and the post-pandemic slump rocked the games industry. CEOs, CFOs and investors have been kept up at night, scrambling to implement radically different business strategies across their organizations. By consolidating essential tools and analytics into one platform, we give studios of all sizes the peace of mind to trust their business data again, while reducing the need for multiple platform tools or costly internal solutions.”

He added:

“SuperPlatform is our flagship SaaS offering and is the culmination of eight years of  internal development, encompassing all the tools and models developed by SuperScale. It has already delivered record profits to our partners as part of our existing complementary solutions and, by offering it as a unified platform, we can empower a much broader range of studios to achieve unprecedented results.”

Michal Csonga, partner at Zero One Hundred, said:

“SuperScale has executed a stellar corporate and product transformation during the most turbulent period in the history of the gaming industry. They have consolidated years of expertise into one software platform. SuperPlatform saves game studios and developers significant time and costs and increases profits drastically. We are thrilled to support this success story that is reshaping this global industry.”

Founded in 2015, SuperScale has long been known for offering a suite of solutions to game developers and publishers, powered by the proprietary analytics technology that now underpins SuperPlatform. By making it available to all on a subscription basis, SuperScale completes its transition from a service-based to a SaaS (software-as-a-service) model. To find out how SuperPlatform can unlock your game’s true potential, simply copy the link of your game in the Google Play or App Store into the platform’s Revenue Uplift  calculator.

GR8 Tech Closes the Year at SiGMA Europe 2024 with Industry Success

GR8 Tech Closes the Year at SiGMA Europe 2024 with Industry Success
Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

SiGMA Europe 2024 closed the year with a bang, and GR8 Tech seized the spotlight, leaving a lasting impression on industry leaders and professionals. The event proved pivotal for GR8 Tech, with nearly 300 meetings showcasing robust interest in its offerings. Of these, 15 discussions are already progressing toward long-term agreements, laying the groundwork for expanded partnerships and future business launches. The event highlighted the demand for customizable iGaming solutions and GR8 Tech’s impactful presence at the year’s grand finale.

Kiril Nestorovski, Sales Director at GR8 Tech: “What’s really grabbed attention in SiGMA Europe is our openness to discuss and be flexible, but what truly surprises people is the quality of our products. I’ve had clients react with phrases like, “Can I touch the screen to see if it’s real?” when they saw our demos. That kind of response speaks volumes about the impact our products have, especially in the sportsbook area.”

Sharing Expertise: Panel Discussion Takeaways

At the “Trends and Predictions for 2025” panel, GR8 Tech CEO Evgen Belousov and other industry leaders shared insights into esports and sportsbooks’ future, spotlighting AI-driven personalization, opinion-based betting, and esports as key disruptors.

The panelists drew a fascinating parallel between sportsbooks and streaming platforms. As competition intensifies, operators are now juggling multiple feed suppliers to deliver exclusive, tailored content. Much like streaming services fighting for exclusive rights, sportsbooks are investing in diverse and unique betting experiences to stand out. Diversification is now becoming essential for staying relevant in the market.

Belousov explored how sportsbooks are evolving from casino add-ons to profitable standalone ventures, redefining their role within the iGaming ecosystem. The panel underscored AI’s transformative impact on player acquisition, gamification, CRM, and risk management – all the areas where GR8 Tech leads the way with practical innovations aimed at increasing operators’ profitability.

Opinion-based betting – wagering on elections or entertainment outcomes – emerged as a rising trend, appealing to younger, tech-savvy players seeking interactive experiences. Esports also increased its role as a game-changer, with younger generations gravitating toward familiar titles like Dota 2 and Counter-Strike over traditional sports.

Focus for 2025: Driving Innovation

Yevhen Krazhan, CBDO at GR8 Tech: “As we wrap up 2024, I’m proud to say that GR8 Tech has exceeded expectations, performing at 150% of our initial goals. The demand and interest in our solutions have been overwhelming, and we’re excited to see how the trends of reactivation and investment growth continue into 2025. With strong momentum from events like SiGMA and the upcoming ICE, we are poised for another successful year. Our strategic focus remains clear – leading the charge as a global sportsbook platform. We’re ready for what lies ahead, and we’re confident that 2025 will be another great year for GR8 Tech.”

As the year comes to a close, the partnerships forged at SiGMA Europe 2024 have paved the way for GR8 Tech’s next major event: ICE 2025. Building on this year’s success, GR8 Tech will showcase its cutting-edge solutions and push iGaming boundaries, solidifying its industry leadership. Stay tuned for exciting developments and join us at ICE 2025!
