Bettormetrics Secures Series A Funding from Bettor Capital and Velo Partners
Sports betting analytics specialist Bettormetrics has secured Series A funding from Bettor Capital and Velo Partners, to build out their advanced Sports book analytical platform and services.
Bettormetrics launched in 2022 and already has several tier 1 bookmakers in the US and Europe using their cloud-based analytics technology. The company is seeking to expand their client base to leverage their next generation services and expertise to optimise their trading desk’s performance.
Exploiting the latest big data technologies, Bettormetrics has pioneered a data lead revolution in trading, using statistics to identify trends and patterns of profitable behaviour ensuring their clients have an advantage on their competitors.
Robert Urwin, Co-founder and CEO of Bettormetrics, said: “We are delighted to be working with specialist investors who share our vision of data driven Sportsbook optimisation. Big data analytics are a game changer when it comes to identifying and removing the key repeating deficiencies in trading operations. Most sports desks are completely unaware of the impact poor suspension and price position can have on their overall GGR. Our clients tend to be progressive data centric companies who are looking to use cutting edge analytics to deliver a sustainable competitive advantage, and a significant uplift in GGR.”
Peter Heneghan of Bettor Capital said: “We are excited to back the Bettormetrics team as they continue to deliver significant value to sports betting trading teams with their industry-leading trading analytics platform. Rob, Roger and the rest of their team have first-hand experience dealing with the challenges that trading teams face on a daily basis, and are on a mission to provide a solution to help trading teams navigate these challenges. With the continued proliferation of in-play betting and a greater number of betting markets being offered, there is strong market demand for more powerful analytical tools to monitor pricing, risk management and betting activity in real-time, and the Bettormetrics team has built a platform that helps operators solve these to maximize the efficiency of their trading operation.”
Evan Hoff of Velo Partners said: “We are thrilled to continue our support for Bettormetrics as they embark on this exciting phase of growth. Bettormetrics has demonstrated unparalleled prowess in the sports betting analytics space, providing indispensable insights for operators in an increasingly dynamic market. We believe in the transformative power of data-driven solutions, and Bettormetrics is at the forefront of driving positive change in trading operations.”

F*Bastards says it now distributes content via 400+ operators worldwide
F*Bastards says its casino content is now available through more than 400 operators worldwide, marking a distribution milestone for the iGaming supplier as it continues to expand its portfolio and partner network.
In a company statement outlining its background, Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas said the team’s earlier attempt to build a game studio fell short due to positioning rather than production capability. “Looking back, we realised we weren’t missing talent. We were missing identity. We could build games, but we hadn’t built something people could remember. That lesson became the starting point for everything F*Bastards would later become.” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
The company said it intentionally built its brand around differentiation, including the decision to use the name F*Bastards despite the expectation it would split opinion among potential partners. The founders described early progress as incremental, driven by game releases, industry events, operator feedback and relationship-building, rather than a single breakout moment.
F*Bastards also pointed to a fundraising milestone in 2026, saying it secured its first seven-figure investment. The company positioned the round as validation of execution rather than an early-stage concept.
“From day one, the goal wasn’t to become the biggest supplier. It was to build something people would remember. We’ve come a long way, but in many ways, it still feels like we’re only getting started” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
