Customers of innovative betting operator Novibet will be the first to experience a new level of immersive football betting entertainment this summer, as the sportsbook launches a range of user experiences, all powered by Stats Perform’s trusted Opta data and OptaAI.

The new experiences include:

  • A highly prominent “Opta Stats” section on the Novibet website and app, featuring advanced metrics designed to help bettors cut through noise to make quick decisions, like OptaAI-powered expected goals and expected assists;
  • Multiple creative new “Opta Points” betting markets within and across matches, to generate higher levels of interest in player performances, for all players;
  • Deep, colourful team and player pages packed with statistics and form, to complement Novibet’s already comprehensive range of Opta-powered player stats markets; and
  • Quick Opta stats contextually integrated across the Novibet platform, including alongside interactive betting opportunities.

The innovative Opta-powered features are a result of Novibet’s long-term partnership with Stats Perform and are to be rolled out across Novibet’s territories in Europe and South America. They are expected to result in greater bettor education, increased time-on-site and increased share of wallet.

Giannis Paraschos, Novibet Head of Sportsbook Product, said: “We’re delighted to extend our deep relationship with Stats Perform and use its Opta brand prominently to increase our users’ trust in our product. Our team is also really proud of the way we’ve built Opta Points into our front-end UI and back-end pricing. The Euros and Copa América are the ideal competitions to use Opta Points to help our users follow their favourite club players as they represent their countries and find new heroes. We think it’ll make more of the games and more of the players matter to our bettors and be an enormously popular way for them to immerse themselves in the tournaments.”

It’s a privilege to partner with clients like Novibet who share our aspiration to make sports betting more entertaining, and fascinating to see the magic they’ve built with our Opta data feeds,” Andrew Ashenden, Chief Betting Officer at Stats Perform, said.

The new Opta experiences are set to launch in time for the 2024 Euros and Copa América and subsequently across major global football leagues.

Stats Perform’s detailed, real-time sports data, OptaAI and Opta brand is at the heart of modern, trusted sports media and betting experiences across the world’s best sports broadcasters, publishers, teams, federations, apps and sportsbooks. Among its multiple awards in recent years include SBC’s Best Sports Data Product in 2022 and 2023.

An independent evaluation has provided compelling evidence that Ygam’s work is effectively equipping families with the tools and knowledge to safeguard children from gaming and gambling harms.

The evaluation report, conducted by Sherbert Research, examined Ygam’s programme tailored for parents and carers, which includes online workshops, resources, and the Family Hub website.

The evaluation, assessed against Ygam’s comprehensive Theory of Change, found ‘strong evidence across all groups’ of increased understanding of gaming and gambling harms and their impact on behaviour change and the wellbeing of children and young people. It also highlighted that parents regard Ygam as a trusted source of support and information on these subjects.

After attending a Ygam workshop, parents expressed a deeper understanding of their role in supporting children and young people on these issues. The workshops were credited with reducing stigma around gaming and gambling harms and encouraging greater engagement from families. Many parents reported proactively understanding the risks and feeling empowered to start conversations with their children about gaming and gambling, putting boundaries in place before harm occurs.

While parents and professionals are increasingly aware of the risks associated with gaming, fewer recognise children’s potential exposure to gambling and gambling-like features, along with the related harms. The report reinforces that Ygam’s work plays a vital role in closing this critical knowledge gap through awareness raising, offering effective safeguarding tools, and providing the guidance and support required to create a safer digital home environment.

The programme was also commended for shifting perceptions around video gaming and microtransactions. They described taking immediate proactive steps such as adjusting screen time, understanding app spending, and setting clearer rules around their child’s online habits.

One parent who took part in the evaluation said: “After the session, I checked my son’s gaming account and realised he had spent over £200 on in-game purchases. We talked about it, and I’ve now set up parental controls.”

The high quality and standard of Ygam’s educational content was also praised by parents, with many describing it as ‘one of the best’ workshops they had attended for addressing a topical and complex issue, and for delivering accessible knowledge that supports real-life action.

Another parent said: ” A friend mentioned Ygam after I shared concerns about my son’s gaming habits. She had been on the course and said it had really helped her understand how to manage screen time”.

Claire Patel, Programme Lead for the Parents and Carers programme at Ygam, said: “We welcome the findings of this evaluation, which highlight the widespread and meaningful difference our programme is making for families. Parents and carers know their children better than anyone, and they have a crucial role to play – but they consistently tell us they often feel under-informed in today’s fast-moving digital world. We remain committed to listening to families and providing the information and tools they need to promote healthy habits and safeguard their children from potential harms.”

The evaluation was informed by interviews and video diaries from parents, foster carers, and professionals who attended Ygam workshops between 2023 and 2024.

All recommendations for improvement will be incorporated into the ongoing review and development of Ygam’s programmes to ensure they remain as effective and impactful as possible.

When ESPN Bet crashed during 26% of March Madness game time, it proved what heavyweight operators already know: that level of downtime is unthinkable—and expensive. When you’re processing millions of bets during a single event, every second of uptime and every millisecond of speed directly impact your bottom line.

That’s why GR8 Tech created the Champion’s Playbook for High Performance—distilling lessons from processing billions of bets per year into a tactical guide for operators who refuse to accept ‘good enough.’

Inside the guide, operators will discover:

  • Three pillars of high performance: the non-negotiable standards for uptime, speed, and scalability that separate champions from contenders—plus the specific benchmarks that matter.
  • From heavyweight performance to champion experiences: how to transform solid infrastructure into engaging, personalized player experiences while protecting margins from churn and fraud.
  • A hard-hitting due diligence checklist: ready-made questions to evaluate your current provider or efficiently eliminate unsuitable candidates from your shortlist.

After hundreds of conversations with operators, I know exactly what’s broken in the industry. The checklist cuts through the sales pitch to the questions that actually matter. Use it on any provider, including GR8 Tech. The answers will separate the real heavyweights from the pretenders,” says Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech.

Why this matters now

The iGaming landscape demands excellence. Players expect 24/7 availability, lightning-fast responses, and experiences that feel built just for them. Meanwhile, 70% of businesses struggle with poor data quality, and mobile users abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds to load. In this environment, technical mediocrity isn’t just disappointing—it’s expensive.

Ready to perform like a true iGaming heavyweight?

Download the Champion’s Playbook and start building your path to high-performance dominance.
