UTR Sports announced a long-term partnership with Sportradar to transform fan and bettor engagement with the UTR Pro Tennis Tour (PTT), the top tennis tour for rising professionals. Starting in January 2025, Sportradar will receive exclusive rights to official PTT data and audiovisual (AV) streaming content for betting purposes.

Sportradar will capture deep data from more than 20,000 PTT matches per year, applying its artificial intelligence and computer vision technologies to create new analyses and insights in each match, generating richer storytelling and expanded in-play betting opportunities. By offering more opportunities to its global network of 900+ betting operator clients, Sportradar will help to drive enhanced visibility and affinity for the PTT.

In addition, UTR will incorporate Sportradar’s Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS) across all PTT matches to safeguard against betting-related match-fixing and corruption.

Mark Leschly, Chairman and CEO of UTR Sports, said: “We are excited to partner with the great team at Sportradar. The success of the UTR Pro Tennis Tour has exceeded expectations, and the continued growth looks brighter than ever, with a significant expansion of the tour coming in 2025. We are happy to be able to elevate and expand visibility of the tour with Sportradar and continue to provide the broadened pathway these players need to meet their goal of playing professional tennis.”

Moritz Gloeckler, Sportradar EVP Rights and Strategic Projects, said: “We are thrilled to partner with UTR given that tennis boasts one of the largest and dedicated global fan bases and is among the most widely bet on sports worldwide. As we do with all our partnerships, we have selectively added UTR to our portfolio of rights that we believe will provide Sportradar with enhanced commercialization upside and opportunities for further growth.”

PTT matches occur weekly across Asia, Europe and North America and are spread evenly throughout the year, resulting in consistent betting opportunities and a convenient schedule for the world’s 1.6 billion tennis fans. Played in 28 countries around the world, the PTT has completed close to 700 tournaments since 2021 and has regularly seen past and current players compete at the Grand Slam level.

New software option replaces standard table announcements across cash games, tournaments and formats including All-In or Fold and Spin & Gold.

GGPoker on July 9, 2026 announced Action Voice, a new software feature that lets players replace standard table announcements with voice packs recorded by poker personalities, including Doyle Brunson.

The initial lineup named by the operator includes ten-time WSOP bracelet winner Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi and Kevin Martin, with additional voices “to be confirmed in the near future.”

Action Voice is available now across GGPoker’s product offering, including cash games, tournaments and formats such as All-In or Fold and Spin & Gold. Players can select voice packs in the desktop client via ‘My Page’ and then ‘My Action Voice’.

“Doyle Brunson may not be at the tables in the way that he used to, but his voice still can be,” said Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker. “Action Voice is our way of keeping the legends who built this game part of the everyday experience – right alongside the players carrying it forward today, like Daniel and Michael. It’s a unique and fun new element to our software, and we can’t wait to reveal the rest of the lineup soon.”

GGPoker said more Action Voice packs will be announced in the coming weeks as it rolls out the full roster.
