  • PRace Launches as Data-Driven B2B Marketing Agency for Gambling Industry

    PRace, a newly launched B2B marketing agency focused on the gambling sector, officially entered the market on May 6, 2025. Founded by Nicholas Brown and Aiste Garneviciene, the agency aims to fill a gap in performance-focused marketing within the B2B gambling space.

    With offices in London and Vilnius, PRace operates with a 15-person team of industry specialists and uses data-led strategies to build measurable lead generation and sales funnels. Although just formally launched, the agency has already worked with over ten major clients and is on track to generate nearly €1 million in revenue this year.

    Brown and Garneviciene identified a lack of tailored, outcome-based marketing services in the B2B gambling market. Leveraging their backgrounds from Square in the Air and BetGames, they created PRace to deliver marketing that goes beyond traditional PR and creative work. The focus is on demand generation, pipeline growth, and end-to-end conversion.

    The agency has partnered with clients including Relax Gaming and Amelco, applying a structured, full-funnel methodology that reflects their combined experience in scaling brands within the gambling space.

    PRace’s entry signals a growing demand for marketing partners that can provide accountable, results-driven strategies in an industry that has traditionally underinvested in B2B brand building and lead generation.

  • Pythia Sports Brings AI Insights to Breeze-Up Horse Sales

    Pythia Sports is introducing artificial intelligence to the traditional world of horse racing auctions. The company has developed a proprietary data model that combines biomechanics and AI to enhance the breeze-up sales process, helping buyers assess a horse’s potential before making a bid.

    Breeze-up sales involve two-year-old horses performing short sprints, or “breezes,” which have typically been evaluated by eye. Pythia’s system analyzes over 100 data points during each breeze, covering factors like stride, speed, and biomechanics, to create a more objective performance profile.

    The model splits each breeze into key segments: time, speed, and stride. It tracks each stride as the horse accelerates, offering insights into how the animal adapts and performs under pressure. Biomechanical data—including conformation and gait—is also factored in and compared with historical performance data to refine accuracy.

    Pythia’s AI engine is trained on ten years of breeze-up sales data. This historical context allows the model to detect patterns and traits that might go unnoticed by human observers. The result is a performance rating for each horse, giving buyers a reliable, data-driven tool for comparison.

    The technology debuted at the Newmarket breeze-up sale and has already gained attention from trainers, agents, and buyers looking for a competitive edge in the auction ring.

  • Sportradar Showcases AI and Computer Vision at Investor Day to Drive Profitability

    Sportradar Showcases AI and Computer Vision at Investor Day to Drive Profitability

    Sportradar has highlighted its growing portfolio of artificial intelligence and computer vision technologies as key drivers of future profitability and efficiency. The company presented its latest innovations during an investor event held on April 1, focusing on how AI will enhance operations and client offerings.

    Central to Sportradar’s AI strategy is its data infrastructure, built over many years to support real-time data processing and model optimization. The company uses these capabilities to continuously adjust odds for betting operators based on risk profiles and real-time market conditions, aiming to improve margins and maximize profits. Internal models suggest up to an 11% increase in profitability for operators using these AI-powered tools.

    A standout presentation featured the “Sportradar Brain,” a proprietary generative AI engine connected directly to Sportradar’s massive data reserves. This tool can generate betting insights, answer sports-related queries, and even write sports content with visual aids like charts and graphs. Media clients, in particular, have shown strong interest in this technology.

    Sportradar also introduced its computer vision system, which tracks live game data more efficiently than traditional data collectors. According to the company, this method is up to 90% cheaper and collects exponentially more data. The firm currently uses computer vision in over half of the live games it covers.

    Additional innovation includes AI scripts that can write and optimize code, with Sportradar projecting that AI will boost engineering productivity by over 50% by 2028.

    Financially, the company forecasts revenue of €1.7 billion and adjusted EBITDA of €455 million by 2027. For 2024, it reported €1.1 billion in revenue, a 26% increase year-on-year, and €34 million in profit.

  • Kalshi and Robinhood Renew Partnership for NCAA Tournament Prediction Markets

    Kalshi and Robinhood have renewed their collaboration, launching prediction markets focused on the upcoming NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments. Robinhood will feature these markets through a dedicated prediction hub in its app, providing its substantial user base access to a variety of betting opportunities.

    This new initiative comes shortly after Robinhood withdrew from a similar venture around Super Bowl betting due to regulatory concerns from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). However, Kalshi and another market player, Crypto.com, continued offering Super Bowl contracts without Robinhood.

    The renewed NCAA offering follows extensive communication with the CFTC, signaling Robinhood’s willingness to cautiously re-enter the prediction market sector. Besides sports events, users can also trade contracts predicting future decisions by the Federal Reserve, particularly regarding adjustments to interest rates.

    Kalshi recently faced scrutiny from Nevada regulators who initially issued a cease-and-desist order, claiming such prediction markets require explicit gaming licenses in the state. Although regulators granted Kalshi an extension to respond, it marked the first significant regulatory hurdle for the company at the state level.

    At the federal level, prediction markets have faced ongoing uncertainty. Kalshi previously won a critical court battle against the CFTC, which permitted the expansion of these markets, especially around elections and major sports events. However, changes within the CFTC—such as former Kalshi board member Brian Quintenz being nominated as chairman—suggest a potential softening in regulatory attitudes.

    The CFTC recently announced plans for a discussion panel to evaluate prediction markets, receiving numerous submissions primarily from tribal entities strongly opposed to market expansion due to sovereignty and exclusivity concerns. Meanwhile, industry operators, including DraftKings, have begun exploring these markets, signaling growing interest and possible future expansion.
