Sportradar is pleased to reveal that it has been granted an online gaming service provider license in the state of Connecticut and has also renewed its sports wagering supplier license in West Virginia.
In addition, the provider has entered into new integrity deals with two European basketball organizations.
Connecticut opened its online and retail betting in October this year, while West Virginia was one of the first states to legalize sports betting after the repeal of PASPA, launching its market in August of 2018.
The licenses will see Sportrader having the opportunity to offer sports data and related services in both states.
Arne Rees, Sportradar US Chief Executive, commented that as sports betting legalization accelerates in the US, strong and transparent data will help govern the growing industry expansion in a sustainable and ethical manner.
Rees went on to say that these licenses underscore Sportradar’s commitment to the US market, their leadership in integrity and the value of their products and services.
Spsortradar has also signed new integrity partnerships with German Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) and the Slovak Basketball Association (SBA) who will both gain access to Sportradar Integrity Services’ Universal Fraud Detection System.
Andreas Krannich, the Managing Director at Sportradar Integrity Services, said that at Sportradar, they continue to witness evidence of match-fixing across a variety of different sports and strong integrity measures for basketball competitions are as or more crucial than they have ever been.
Krannich also said they have a proven track record in sports integrity and the depth of their bet monitoring capabilities will be a notable addition to both the BBL’s and the SBA’s overall integrity programs.
