WTA and Stats Perform Serve up Breakthrough Tennis AI and Data Partnership, in Landmark Deal for Women’s Sports
The WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) today named Stats Perform its Official WTA Data Supplier.
The transformative partnership will deliver multiple feeds to customers – an exclusive umpire-derived data feed for an expanded number of WTA matches, as well as an ultrafast data feed collected by Stats Perform’s Opta analysts.
The data collected by Stats Perform’s Opta analysts will include detailed match statistics down to rally and shot level. This will dramatically increase the level of live insight available for thousands of WTA matches to power a new range of broadcast, second screen, and betting experiences.
The data feed will support Stats Perform’s advanced AI capabilities which will be leveraged to help bring fans closer to the sport through engaging data-driven insights and stories. Through these unique insights, fans will be able to get to know the players and the game at a much deeper level.
The data also enhances Stats Perform’s existing live WTA video streaming service to help create the ultimate experience in trusted and entertaining in-play betting.
Stats Perform’s extensive sports content distribution capabilities will improve the availability of official WTA data to make it more accessible for authorized sportsbooks, broadcasters, OTT, media, sponsors, tech and fantasy games, giving fans and bettors fast, detailed and accurate tennis data.
As evidence of Stats Perform’s commitment to growing the profile of women athletes, the partnership will push more innovative insights and content to raise the profile of WTA players. The agreement also aims to elevate the betting experience through the delivery of faster, deeper feeds, and promote integrity in tennis via the provision of two operationally independent feeds.
Carl Mergele, CEO Stats Perform, says: “The WTA has very ambitious goals for their tournaments and players and we’re proud to be trusted to help them reach new levels of fan and bettor engagement. Our broadcaster, media, and betting networks are already excited because they’ve seen how high-quality information elevates sport’s appeal.”
Micky Lawler, WTA President, says: “Stats Perform has a history of creating innovative and trusted content and products that drive entertainment levels and new revenue streams for the professional sports ecosystem. We’re looking forward to discovering new and unique storylines surrounding the WTA Tour and our players and tournaments available in new, exciting and comprehensive ways.”
Atop its sports AI and content expertise and customer network, Stats Perform’s globally famous and trusted Opta data brand has helped it transform the way fans and bettors interact with men’s and women’s soccer, cricket, rugby, basketball, NFL and MLB. The company has a long history of challenging how sport is measured, giving players, teams and leagues a competitive edge and broadcasters, media, sportsbooks and sponsors new perspectives. Women’s tennis is now also set to see a rise in the profile of and engagement with the Tour and its players.

BOYLE Sports deploys automated acca technology as bookmakers accelerate shift to pre-configured betting
BOYLE Sports has become the latest major bookmaker to deploy automated accumulator technology, following a new two-year agreement with Checkd Dev that will see the operator roll out pre-configured, one-click acca products across football and horse racing.
The partnership sees BOYLE Sports integrate Checkd Dev’s Automated Betting System (ABS) into its sportsbook, enabling the automated creation and presentation of pre-match football and UK and Irish horse racing accumulator bets. The deployment forms part of a broader update to BOYLE Sports’ betting proposition, aimed at delivering scalable, consistent acca products while retaining full control over pricing and risk.
Through the integration, BOYLE Sports has launched two carousels containing packaged accumulator bets, generated using predefined logic and historical performance data. All pricing remains aligned with BOYLE Sports’ internal trading models, with probabilities informed by historic form rather than external odds feeds.
From an operational standpoint, ABS provides BOYLE Sports’ trading team with backend tooling to automate bet creation, updates, and settlement, significantly reducing manual intervention while supporting a consistent pre-match offering across key markets. The solution also integrates BOYLE Sports’ existing Acca Boost mechanics, available to customers from launch.
ABS is built on Checkd Dev’s proprietary BRUNO platform and has evolved over a two-year development cycle. Initially designed as a statistics-led conversion tool, the system has expanded into a fully automated betting solution in response to growing operator demand for scalable, pre-configured wagering products within regulated markets. The product is integrated with the operator’s front end and bet slip, resulting in a frictionless experience for end users.
The BOYLE Sports deployment follows a series of recent commercial agreements for Checkd Dev, including partnerships with Betfred, William Hill, and OpenBet. Collectively, these integrations reflect a wider trend among established bookmakers toward automation-led betting products designed to improve efficiency, consistency, and user experience across football betting.
Adam Matues, Head of Sportsbook at BOYLE Sports, commented: “Pre-configured accas continue to play an important role in how customers engage with football and racing, but they need to be delivered in a way that is both scalable and commercially robust. Checkd Dev’s automated approach allows us to expand our acca offering efficiently, while maintaining full control over pricing, performance, and risk.”
Andrew Grimshaw, Commercial Director at Checkd Dev, added: “We’re seeing increasing demand from tier-one and tier-two operators for automated betting products that enhance UX while remaining fully aligned with existing trading frameworks. BOYLE Sports’ decision to deploy our ABS reflects that shift, and we’re looking forward to supporting the team on both sports as the product scales over the coming seasons.”

SlotMatrix Unleashes Fiesta-Fueled Thrills with Muertos Fortune
SlotMatrix, the leading global casino content aggregator, has incorporated Muertos Fortune into its unique collection, a vibrant slot drawing inspiration from the lively energy and festivities of Day of the Dead customs.
Muertos Fortune welcomes players to a vibrant realm filled with music and color, where each spin leads to grander moments and more exciting rewards.
The Money Collector function centers on the Muertos symbol that shows up on reel five, serving as the chief collector by retrieving cash values from piñata prizes positioned throughout the reels to enhance winnings and enable extra rewards.
A significant feature of the gameplay is its Perceived Persistence mechanic, enabling piñata rewards that fall uncollected to fill the giant skull above the reels.
As the skull fills up, it explodes, activating the Free Spins feature filled with Muertos’ collections, greater piñata values, and opportunities for several retriggers, transforming growing excitement into massive payout possibilities.
Muertos Fortune can only be accessed via SlotMatrix and is upgraded by EveryMatrix’s sophisticated gamification features, such as free spins, tournaments, and leaderboards. It can additionally be combined with EngageSuite, the all-in-one player loyalty solution.
