class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    These rights grant ownership and control over the <strong>collection<\/strong>, <strong>distribution<\/strong>, and <strong>sale<\/strong> of live sports data used in betting. Typically, these are granted by governing bodies to a sports betting data provider, allowing them to gather real-time match statistics, player performance metrics, and other key information relevant to betting markets.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    When these rights are secured, companies such as Genius Sports or Sportradar collect data using live scouts and advanced technology, like optical tracking systems and video analysis. All the metrics gathered are then sold and distributed to betting companies, which depend on timely and accurate information to set odds and provide betting markets.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"football-betting-data\">\n        Football Betting Data\n    <\/h3>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    The rights to exclusive football betting data varies from league to league and competition to competition. \r<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    For UK punters, the most significant development is likely to be the renewal of <strong>Genius Sports<\/strong>\u2019s exclusive data partnership with Football DataCo (FDC) through 2025-2029. This covers official data rights for the <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/english-premier-league-betting\/\">Premier League<\/a>, English Football League, and <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/scottish-premiership-betting\/\">Scottish Professional Football League<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    In terms of sheer numbers, none can match <strong>IMG ARENA<\/strong>. They are the official betting data partner for 19 European football leagues and 44 competitions including the Austrian Bundesliga, Liga Portugal, and Swiss Football League. The end dates vary, with most agreements extending several years from the 2022\/23 season. Considering that they also hold livestreaming partnerships spanning over a dozen leagues, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/english-fa-cup-betting\/\">FA Cup<\/a> and SuperLiga, IMG Arena is set to have a lasting impact on <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/best-football-betting-sites\/\">football betting markets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Another major sports data provider is <strong>Stats Perform<\/strong>, which holds rights to <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/spanish-la-liga-betting-previews\/\">La Liga<\/a> until the <strong>2027\/28<\/strong> season. This also includes the right to stream La Liga matches live to licensed international sportsbooks.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    These partnerships cover many of the football betting data providers relevant to UK readers. However, any tournament and\/or league not mentioned here will have their own agreements driving the odds for related betting markets.<\/p>\n\n<h4 id=\"sportradar-uefa-partnership\">\n        Sportradar & UEFA Partnership\n    <\/h4>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    <strong>Sportradar<\/strong> has secured an expanded deal to provide betting data for Europe\u2019s premier football tournaments. It includes the men and women\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/champions-league-betting\/\">Champions League<\/a>, the men\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/europa-league-betting\/\">Europa League<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/europa-conference-league\/\">Conference League<\/a>, as well as the women\u2019s Euros 2025. This partnership covers over 900 games each season and will last up to the men\u2019s 2028 Euros.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    A key aspect of this agreement is Sportradar\u2019s access to <strong>\u201cadvanced tracking\u201d data<\/strong>, aimed at enhancing their AI products and services. Interestingly, they will therefore also be selling player movement records collected by their rivals, Genius Sports. There has been no mention of any livestreaming rights.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    For bettors, this means continued access to a vast range of interesting markets supported by cutting-edge technology from a leading supplier of sports betting data. However, they will need to watch these games through separate channels.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"horse-racing-betting-data\">\n        Horse Racing Betting Data\n    <\/h3>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    <strong>Sports Information Services<\/strong> (SIS) and <strong>Racecourse Media Group<\/strong> (RMG) hold a three-year agreement to distribute horse racing betting data and livestreaming content from British racecourses to licensed betting sites in the UK and Ireland.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    This contract, effective from April 1st 2024 to March 31st 2026, builds on a successful partnership that began in 2018. With over 35 years of experience, SIS is a trusted global partner in the betting industry, offering a diverse range of betting content including <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/horse-racing-betting-sites\/\">horse racing<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/greyhound-betting-guide\/\">greyhound racing<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/best-esports-betting-sites\/\">esports<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Serving over 400 customers in 50 countries, SIS delivers more than <strong>415,000<\/strong> <strong>betting events annually<\/strong>, making them one of the biggest suppliers of betting content in the world.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"tennis-betting-data\">\n        Tennis Betting Data\n    <\/h3>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    <strong>Sportradar<\/strong> holds the global sports betting data rights for all ATP Tour and ATP Challenger Tour events under a multi-year agreement with Tennis Data Innovations (TDI) \u2014 a joint venture of ATP and ATP Media. The partnership covers major tournaments, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/tennis-australian-open-tournament-betting-guide\/\">Australian Open<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/tennis-french-open-betting\/\">French Open<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/tennis-wimbledon-betting\/\">Wimbledon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/tennis-us-open-betting\/\">US Open<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/tennis-atp-finals\/\">ATP Finals<\/a>, and ATP 1000 events. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    As part of this deal, Sportradar launched ATP Service + \u2014 a suite of innovative betting and media products designed to boost fan engagement and drive the commercial growth of betting partners. Some of the features include augmented streaming, immersive 3D animations, additional in-play betting markets, and short-form video highlights.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    All of this means more exciting ways to enjoy the world\u2019s premier tennis events, enhancing both the viewing experience and the scope of <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/best-tennis-betting-sites\/\">betting options available<\/a>. The agreement is currently set to last until 2029. <\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"cricket-betting-data\">\n        Cricket Betting Data\n    <\/h3>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Beginning with the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup in 2024, <strong>Stats Perform<\/strong> has become the exclusive live sports data provider and streaming partner for all major International Cricket Council (ICC) events. This includes most of their major tournaments, including the Cricket World Cup, <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/cricket-t20-betting\/\">T20 World Cup<\/a>, and ICC World Test Championship. It is set to continue until at least 2027.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    This agreement marks a renewal of the partnership that existed between 2019 and 2021. Sportradar, which handled the sports betting data rights for ICC events between 2021 and 2023, did not seek to renew these rights. The difficulty in monetising cricket data compared to other sports is likely to have influenced this decision.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    This still comes as a surprise even though it is true that <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/best-cricket-betting-sites\/\">cricket betting markets<\/a> aren\u2019t as popular as football or horse racing. Not that it should matter to cricket betting fans, given that the quality of the real-time ball-to-ball match data driven by Stats Perform is amply providing a robust selection of markets across top bookmakers.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"why-are-sports-betting-data-rights-so-competitive\" class=\"jump-link-heading\"  >Why Are Sports Betting Data Rights So Competitive?<\/h2>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Sports betting data rights are highly sought after due to their <strong>significant revenue potential<\/strong>. Accurate, real-time findings are crucial for betting operators to <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/betting-odds-comparison\/\">set competitive odds<\/a> and drive betting activity. Without the data, bookies couldn\u2019t function. This puts the sports data feed provider in a fantastic negotiating position, making it extremely profitable for those who hold the rights.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Owning high-quality sports betting data rights also creates additional avenues of revenue. Leading suppliers like Sportradar, Stats Perform, Genius Sports, IMG, and SportsData.IO repeatedly secure major deals because these partnerships build trust and confidence, leading to more long-term contracts with betting companies and sports organisations.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Moreover, these deals often include <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/live-streaming-betting-sites\/\">livestreaming rights<\/a>, which provide another stream of revenue. Companies that manage both data and streaming can, therefore, maximise their earnings.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    This competition between providers, who frequently engage in legal disputes, ultimately benefits customers. It drives continuous innovation and ensures a broad selection of high-quality betting markets and live coverage.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"img-vs-stats-perform-case\">\n        IMG vs Stats Perform Case\n    <\/h3>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    In <strong>March 2023<\/strong>, IMG Arena (the sports data arm of Endeavour) filed a lawsuit against Stats Perform in the UK, alleging that Stats Perform unlawfully sent out scouts to football games across Europe where IMG Arena held exclusive sports betting data rights.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    This lawsuit, presented to the High Court, sought at least $1.6 million in damages and an injunction to prevent further unauthorised data collection. IMG Arena claimed that Stats Perform\u2019s actions violated their exclusive deal with the European Leagues, which covers competitions in over 19 countries.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Unsurprisingly, considering the slow pace of the justice system, there has been little to report since. However, the court recently dismissed Stats Perform\u2019s application for strike-out or summary judgement \u2014 a decision that appears to favour IMG Arena at this preliminary stage.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"genius-sports-vs-sportradar-case\">\n        Genius Sports vs Sportradar Case\n    <\/h3>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Sportradar\u2019s legal dispute with Genius Sports and Football DataCo (FDC) was resolved via an <strong>out-of-court settlement in 2022<\/strong>. Under the agreement, Sportradar received a sublicence granting access to a delayed secondary feed of English football data until 2024. In return, Sportradar ceased its unauthorised in-stadium data collection activities.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    The case, which began in February 2020, challenged the data licensing framework established in May 2019, when Genius Sports secured exclusive rights to collect and distribute live football data from the Premier League, the Football League, and the Scottish Professional Football League. Sportradar argued that this exclusive system violated both UK and EU competition laws.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    The settlement allowed FDC and Genius Sports to maintain their licensing arrangement, which was later renewed to carry on until at least 2029.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"trp-arena-vs-sis-case\">\n        TRP & Arena vs SIS Case\n    <\/h3>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    In 2019, Arena Racing Company (ARC) and The Racing Partnership (TRP) <strong>won a significant legal battle against Satellite Information Services (SIS)<\/strong>, a leading sports data provider. The High Court ruled that SIS had unlawfully used ARC\u2019s raceday data, including critical information like horse withdrawals, jockey changes, and race off-times.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    The case also revealed <strong>discrepancies in data acquisition<\/strong> between bookmakers. While operators like William Hill and Paddy Power had legitimately contracted with TRP for a comprehensive rights package \u2014 including live data and audio-visual coverage from several key racecourses, other bookies had used SIS to create an unofficial service. These operators gathered intelligence from alternative sources, including <strong>the Tote\u2019s<\/strong> on-course presence, without compensating TRP.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    As a result, ARC and TRP are entitled to substantial damages, which could amount to <strong>several million pounds<\/strong>, though the exact figure has not yet been determined. The case highlights the immense value of raceday data and the legal enforceability of exclusive data rights, with serious financial consequences for those who breach them.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"why-do-data-providers-try-to-dodge-third-party-agreements\" class=\"jump-link-heading\"  >Why Do Data Providers Try To Dodge Third-Party Agreements?<\/h2>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    To stay competitive, a sports data provider must cover a vast and dynamic range of sports and events. Navigating convoluted and restrictive third-party agreements can complicate this effort, as these contracts often limit their ability to freely gather and distribute information.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    One common type of agreement that data providers may try to dodge is <strong>exclusive licensing<\/strong>. Such contracts grant sole rights to specific companies for collecting and distributing certain data. By circumventing these exclusives, data providers can access and utilise reports from events where they lack formal permission, thus broadening their offerings and potential profitability without compensating the rights holders.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    The TRP & Arena vs SIS and the IMG vs Stats Perform cases highlight how some entities are willing to participate in such behaviours, aiming to boost their sports portfolios.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    <strong>Revenue sharing<\/strong> and <strong>compensation<\/strong> arrangement also pose challenges. Some contracts require data providers to share revenue or make payments for access. To evade these financial commitments, providers might create unofficial sources or gather intelligence through unauthorised means to expand their coverage while sidestepping their financial responsibilities. Often, this is done through unauthorised scouts who gather data without permission.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Many of today\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/sports-data-providers-explained\/\">leading sports betting data suppliers<\/a>, like Sportradar and Stats Perform, have faced legal disputes related to these issues. While avoiding third-party agreements isn\u2019t a necessary step in becoming a leading supplier of sports betting data, it does reflect the intense competition of this industry.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"in-play-betting-revolution\">\n        In-Play Betting Revolution\n    <\/h3>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    The emergence of <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/best-live-inplay-betting-sites\/\">in-play betting<\/a> is one of the most significant technological advancements in online wagering, benefitting both bookmakers and bettors. For bookies, it represents a new revenue stream, while for bettors, it offers enhanced entertainment and more dynamic ways to place bets. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    The gambling market in the UK is worth an estimated <strong>\u00a315.1 billion pounds<\/strong> (in the year to March 2023), and live sports betting is now a big part of that.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Today, live betting is available across a broad spectrum of sports and levels, with only rare and logically incompatible events being excluded. This development has introduced a vast array of betting opportunities from spontaneous prop bets to <a href=\"https:\/\/panalo88.net\/cash-out-betting-explained\/\">cash-out<\/a> features, dramatically expanding the range of available markets.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    However, the extent of live betting coverage is based on several factors, including the sport\u2019s logistics and the popularity of live betting. Major events that are popular and have a sports betting data rights partnership in place, such as major esports tournaments, often enjoy comprehensive live betting coverage. In contrast, less popular events or those with existing TV and\/or streaming arrangement may offer fewer markets and less statistical data.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    This disparity is gradually diminishing as technology advances. Betting events are increasingly benefitting from enhanced live betting experience, thanks to innovations by data rights holders. For example, IMG Arena\u2019s live stats overlays and Sportradar\u2019s 4Sight Streaming are pushing the boundaries of what\u2019s possible, improving the in-play experience across more events.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"thepunterspage-final-say\" class=\"jump-link-heading\"  >ThePuntersPage Final Say<\/h2>\n    \n\n<p class=\"paragraph-block m-0 has-text-align-left container mx-auto\" >\n    Ultimately, this intense competition for sports betting data rights can only benefit you.
