  • Genius Sports Secures Exclusive Serie A Rights in Multi-Year Betting Data Deal

    Genius Sports has strengthened its position in the global sports data market with an exclusive agreement to supply betting data and video streaming for Italy’s top-tier football competitions. The multi-year deal includes coverage of Serie A, Coppa Italia, and Supercoppa Italiana fixtures, running until the end of the 2028-29 season.

    Under the agreement, Genius Sports will serve as the sole distributor of official match data and international betting streams, delivering this content to its global sportsbook network. The partnership also grants access to tracking data for media use, enabling advanced broadcast augmentation, match reports, and in-depth analysis.

    This deal significantly boosts Genius Sports’ in-play product, BetVision, which combines live streaming with interactive stats overlays, enhancing bettor engagement.

    Competitive Win After Legal Turmoil

    Previously, Stats Perform held the rights between 2021 and 2024, but an attempt to extend that contract fell through, leading to an ongoing legal dispute. In March, the Court of Milan ruled against Serie A’s request for immediate execution of a contested contract, allowing Genius Sports to proceed with the new tender.

    Genius emerged as the winner from a June 2025 tender that included five packages for betting data, streaming, and tracking rights across international and domestic markets.

    Broader Context and Growth

    This marks another major football acquisition for Genius, which recently secured data rights from 18 European leagues, including the Belgian Pro League, Eredivisie, and Danish League.

    With these deals in place, Genius now holds one of the strongest global portfolios in the sports betting data industry, alongside NFL, Premier League, and now Serie A.

    The agreement is expected to contribute positively to the company’s commercial performance and future revenue guidance.

  • LeoVegas Extends Kambi Sportsbook Partnership Until 2027

    LeoVegas has extended its sportsbook deal with Kambi through the end of 2027, securing continued access to Kambi’s turnkey sportsbook services during its transition to an in-house platform.

    The renewed agreement includes the integration of Kambi’s Odds Feed+, which will remain in use even beyond the main partnership term. This signals LeoVegas’ ongoing reliance on Kambi’s trading capabilities despite its acquisition of Tipico’s U.S. platform in 2023.

    The extension comes as LeoVegas, owned by MGM, is actively migrating its international brands onto a proprietary sportsbook platform. The transition, originally expected to conclude in H1 2025, appears to be progressing in phases. According to LeoVegas, the integration remains on schedule, and the extended Kambi partnership ensures operational continuity throughout the transition.

    Under the new deal, LeoVegas brands such as BetMGM UK and BetUK will continue to leverage Kambi’s full odds library, helping to maintain market competitiveness.

    From Kambi’s perspective, the renewed agreement is a strategic win amid increasing client churn due to operators moving toward in-house technology. LeoVegas accounted for approximately 3% of Kambi’s 2023 revenue, with expectations of further growth tied to MGM’s international expansion.

    The partnership’s evolution reflects a broader industry trend: operators are seeking modular and flexible relationships with suppliers. Kambi’s Odds Feed+ is positioned as a premium standalone solution for sportsbooks that want to retain parts of Kambi’s infrastructure while building in-house capabilities.

  • 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.
