Sports and betting-related services firm Sportradar has entered into a multi-faceted partnership with leading e-sports company ESL.
Under the agreement, unveiled at this year’s edition of the Leaders Conference, Sportradar will develop a full range of products and services for ESL.
Such technology will enable betting operators to access a standalone statistics product as well as live scoring delivered in real-time.
Sportradar will also generate pre-match odds suggestions, fixtures and resulting, as well as a full range of in-play odds.
In addition, Sportradar’s Fraud Detection System will monitor 450 operators around the world in order to provide an insight into suspicious betting patterns and behaviours.
“This partnership means that the industry-leading Fraud Detection System is going to be monitoring and analysing all the betting patterns on our events from across the world’s operators and markets,” ESL chief executive Ralf Reichert said.
“Working with the FDS and the publishers, we will identify any fixers, we will prosecute them and those they work with and we will keep our tournaments not only exhilarating, but honest.”
Carsten Koerl, chief executive of Sportradar, added: “We will be processing and delivering data in accordance with our industry-leading standards, ensuring that end users get the fastest, most accurate and most engaging data possible.
“Our suite of products and services have been tailored to the unique character of e-sports: there is no more comprehensive and trust-worthy offer that meets all the needs of the new or long-time offeror of e-sports.”
