Simulated Reality draws on the company’s vast sports data and artificial intelligence know-how to generate a seamless user experience for sport fans and bettors

In the ongoing absence of live sports, Sportradar, a global provider of sports content and intelligence, today has announced the launch of Simulated Reality, an AI-driven product for professional sports matches, which will be made available to customers within its existing portfolio of events.

In an industry first, Sportradar has tapped into its AI and machine learning capabilities to deliver a sports betting experience which is as close to real life as possible, seamless and with no integration needed.

Carsten Koerl, CEO, Sportradar, said: “We have listened carefully to our customers and the betting community who have made it clear there is an appetite for alternative means of betting during this time where this is a void in live sports action. Simulated Reality will give our sports betting partners seamless access to a highly unique product that is first to market at no extra cost and integration. As market leaders in the industry, we pride ourselves on our ability to quickly pivot our business strategy and redirect our resources towards delivering new and innovative solutions such as this.”

Drawing on Sportradar’s historical football database and statistical output to provide match data for the product, the first simulated reality games will offer a comprehensive range of pre-match and live (in-play) betting opportunities. The simulations will reflect team form and normal match play creating an advanced gaming experience.

Simulated Reality will be launching on Friday, 3 April covering the top-tier football leagues from England, Germany and Spain. Simulated Reality football will offer fans the chance to complete the current football season, with all remaining fixtures scheduled to be played as per their original date and kick-off time.

Played out over a full 90 minutes, fans will be able to bet on their favourite teams, access match analysis and league tables, while the game itself will be visualised by live match trackers.

Sportradar plans to extend its Simulated Reality product to several other leagues and competitions in the near future, with other sports earmarked for production including tennis and basketball.

Polymarket, the world’s largest prediction market, announced that it has closed an acquisition of the holding company of a Commodity Futures Trading Commission-licensed derivatives exchange (QCX LLC) and clearinghouse (QC Clearing LLC) (collectively QCEX) for $112 million. The transaction marks a significant step toward expanding access to Polymarket’s category-defining platform in the US, enabling more users than ever to trade prediction market contracts with regulatory clarity and confidence.

“Polymarket is the largest prediction market globally and has become synonymous with understanding the probability of current events. Demand is greater than ever — not just in user growth and trading volume, but in how mainstream audiences are turning to Polymarket to separate signal from noise, bias, and speculation. Now, with the acquisition of QCEX, we are laying the foundation to bring Polymarket home — re-entering the US as a fully regulated and compliant platform that will allow Americans to trade their opinions,” said Shayne Coplan, Founder and CEO of Polymarket.

“When we began the process to obtain our DCM & DCO licenses over 4 years ago, the prediction market was in its infancy. But we have long believed in its potential to change the way people access and understand information and express their views on that information. Shayne has built a cultural phenomenon in Polymarket. I am excited to bring our companies together and leverage our licenses, technology, and expertise in the retail trading sector to help Polymarket reach its full potential,” said Sergei Dobrovolskii, Founder of QCEX.

Polymarket has continued to build significant momentum as the world’s largest prediction market and a trusted source of real-time information. In the first half of 2025 alone, users have already made about $6 billion in predictions on the platform. Most recently, Polymarket announced an official partnership with 𝕏, further solidifying its position at the intersection of politics, markets, and culture.

The acquisition of the QCEX entities paves the way for U.S. users to access Polymarket in the near future within a fully regulated, US-compliant framework. As prediction markets continue to gain mainstream relevance, Polymarket remains the go-to platform for understanding what the world is thinking — and where it’s headed.
