Sportradar signs 10 year agreement with European Handball Federation for data collection and distribution rights
The European Handball Federation (EHF), EHF Marketing GmbH (EHFM) and Sportradar, a global provider of sports content and intelligence, today announced a long-term partnership to include official data collection and distribution to media organisations and betting operators.
The multi-year agreements, set to run until 2030, will see Sportradar, as the ‘official data partner’ of EHF and EHF Marketing, collect and distribute official EHF data to multiple media and betting entities. In addition, Sportradar will utilise the full breadth of its technological capabilities, including AI and machine learning, to develop new solutions for analyzing data and identifying new insights to improve the sport and provide an unrivalled experience for fans and EHF partners.
The deal includes the collection of live data and comprehensive statistics for more than 1,500 national team and beach handball matches and more than 750 European Cup matches per season across all of European handball’s elite club competitions.
For the European Handball Federation, the agreement includes the Men’s and the Women’s EHF EUROs and their Qualifiers, the EHF’s younger age category events, the European matches of the World Championship Qualification and the Beach Handball EUROs.
On the side of EHF Marketing, the contract includes all matches in the EHF Champions League Men and Women, the EHF European League and the EHF European Cup.
Today’s announcement of the new cooperation follows the existing partnership between Sportradar and EHF and EHF Marketing which started when a multi-faceted data, marketing, and digital services agreement was signed in June 2017.
In February 2018, Sportradar further expanded its scope with the organisation to include the provision of education and monitoring services aimed at safeguarding the integrity of the EHF’s competitions.
The agreement with EHF underlines Sportradar’s expertise within handball and strengthens a portfolio that includes long-term relationships with HBL (German Handball Bundesliga), DHB (German Handball Association), spusu LIGEN (Handball League Austria) and HBF (German Handball League Women).
Martin Hausleitner, Secretary General of the European Handball Federation, said: “As European handball enters a new era, the agreement with Sportradar is another important piece of the puzzle to elevate our sport to new and unprecedented heights. We are making a significant step forward, not only in terms of the number of matches we are offering live scouting for, but also when it comes to the depth of data available for our fans and partners.”
David Szlezak, Managing Director of EHF Marketing, added: “It is absolutely vital to offer high quality and accurate data from the EHF’s club competitions. With this new cooperation, we are adding to the top-level scouting we have already achieved with Sportradar. For example, right from the first rounds, data collected in the new EHF European League will be on EHF Champions League standards. We are looking forward to working with Sportradar over the next decade to realise the full potential of this data.”
David Lampitt, Managing Director, Sports Partnerships at Sportradar, said: “We have a longstanding relationship with EHF and EHFM and we are delighted to have further extended our partnership to secure a long-term data and distribution rights agreement. We will be working alongside them to continue to grow the sport via our extensive network of media and betting partners.”

DATA.BET launches in-stream betting overlay for mobile live streams
Frontend integration keeps markets, odds and bet slip inside the broadcast; feature debuts with virtual sports.
DATA.BET has launched In-Stream Betting, a frontend overlay that lets viewers place bets directly within a mobile live stream without leaving the broadcast. The company said markets, odds and the bet slip are accessible inside the stream.
DATA.BET positions the feature around mobile usage, saying mobile devices account for the majority of bets placed and that share is growing. The overlay is on-demand, allowing users to switch it on or off during the stream.
The supplier said the component is designed to reduce drop-off during live betting by removing the need to navigate away from the stream. DATA.BET claims this can support stronger engagement, higher retention, longer sessions and improved lifetime value.
According to the company, In-Stream Betting integrates at the frontend level and requires no backend implementation, with availability now “upon the clients’ request.”
In-Stream Betting launches first with virtual sports, with plans to expand to additional verticals. “In-Stream Betting is designed to meet players where their attention already is — inside the broadcast,” said Rostyslav Likhtin, Head of Product at DATA.BET. “For our clients, this means an additional engagement layer that is easy to implement but delivers real results in terms of retention and player satisfaction. Having everything on one screen cuts the time it takes to place a bet and that kind of frictionless experience is exactly what builds long-term player loyalty toward the operator.”

Booming Games launches Twin Buffalo: Hold and Win slot
New 5×3, 20-payline title includes Hold and Win, Free Spins and optional Boost+ and bonus-buy features.
Booming Games has launched Twin Buffalo: Hold and Win, a new slot title built on a 5×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines. The supplier said the game’s maximum win potential is 5,100x.
In the base game, the Coin Collect symbol on reel 5 collects all coin symbols in view. The release also includes a “Buffalo Bounty” mechanic that collects value symbols to trigger the Hold and Win feature, and a “Buffalo Spins” mechanic that collects Scatter symbols to trigger Free Spins.
During Free Spins, Jumbo symbols can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. Booming Games said a Jumbo Scatter awards extra spins, while a Jumbo Coin awards Hold and Win, with the Jumbo splitting into nine coins. Value symbols range from 1x to 250x the total bet, and the Grand prize is 5,000x when all symbol positions are filled.
The game also includes optional wagering and purchase mechanics. When Boost+ is activated, Booming Games said the bet increases by 25% and players have a higher chance of triggering bonus features. The Mystery Bonus can be bought at 75x the bet (awarding either Hold and Win or Free Spins), while the Super Bonus can be bought at 100x the bet and provides Free Spins with a guaranteed Hold and Win trigger.
Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “Twin Buffalo: Hold and Win is packed with exciting bonus features, all designed to deliver the ultimate gameplay experience. With the opportunity to trigger features in multiple ways, we’re confident that players will love this exciting new release.
