The agreement marks the first basketball deal for Sportradar since the acquisition of Synergy Sports

Sportradar, a leading global provider of sports data intelligence and sport entertainment solutions, today announced a comprehensive extended agreement with Ligue Nationale de Basket (LNB). The new agreement covers data collection and distribution, AV rights, media rights distribution, bet monitoring to ensure integrity, automated production and streaming service and the continuation of the OTT platform.

The multi-year deal begins at the start of the 2021/22 season and will see Sportradar become the official data partner of the LNB.  Sportradar will collect and distribute the LNB’s in-game data through Synergy Stats, their best-in-class courtside data collection system.

Synergy Sports, now a division of Sportradar, partners with all of the LNB teams through the use of their AI driven Automated Camera System and also serves as a distribution partner for the league’s AV rights.  Synergy Sports provides basketball teams, leagues and federations with a full end-to-end technology platform that offers automated video production and graphics.

Since the 2020/21 season, Sportradar has distributed the LNB’s media rights internationally and utilised its full technological capabilities to create the OTT platform LNB.TV which showcases game action and editorial content to enhance fan engagement. Coverage is live-streamed as well as being available on-demand.

Finally, the agreement also includes the provision of Sportradar’s advanced and proven bet monitoring system, the Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS), to monitor all LNB games for potential match manipulation. Last year, Sportradar Integrity Services detected over 500 suspicious matches across global sport and has reported more than 5,500 in the past 15 years.

David Lampitt, Managing Director, Sports Content and Partnerships at Sportradar, said: “The LNB is one of the most important basketball leagues in Europe and we look forward to expanding our relationship with them to grow the sport further and drive new commercial opportunities.

“Basketball is a strategically important sport for Sportradar, and the acquisition of Synergy Sports has extended our 360-degree capabilities in the creation and distribution of data and video content, enabling us to deepen our relationships with key basketball leagues and federations around the world. We are delighted to partner with the LNB and that they have put their trust in us to deliver advanced data, analytics and technology solutions.”

We look forward to strengthening our relationship with Sportradar for years to come.”

AGCO takes action to remove unapproved gambling machines from Ontario convenience stores

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) is continuing its efforts to combat unregulated gambling and protect the public. As part of these efforts, the AGCO took steps this week to revoke the lottery seller registrations of a number of retailers in the GTA that were found to be offering unapproved electronic gambling machines under the Prime Slot brand.

The AGCO regulates all gambling in the province of Ontario to ensure gambling products and gaming sites are held to high standards of game integrity, player safety, and the protection of minors and vulnerable individuals.

Over the past decade, unregulated gaming machines have increasingly proliferated across North America. While they largely rely on chance like traditional slot machines, manufacturers have claimed they are games of skill and have installed terminals in convenience stores and other locations where gaming machines would otherwise be prohibited.

The AGCO will continue to take every action within its authority to protect the public against the risks that these unregulated machines pose – particularly in locations easily accessible to children and youth.

A registered lottery seller served with a Notice of Proposed Order to revoke their registration has the right to appeal the AGCO’s action within 15 days to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), an adjudicative tribunal that is part of Tribunals Ontario and independent of the AGCO.

“Unapproved gambling machines have no business being in convenience stores or other locations, particularly those that are available to children and youth. ” – Dr. Karin Schnarr, Chief Executive Officer and Registrar, AGCO

Background:

Under Section 10(b) of the Gaming Control Act, the Registrar shall refuse to register an applicant as a supplier or to renew the registration of an applicant as a supplier if there are reasonable grounds to believe that the applicant will not act as a supplier in accordance with law, or with integrity, honesty, or in the public interest.

Under Section 12 of the Gaming Control Act, the Registrar may propose to suspend or to revoke a registration for any reason that would disentitle the registrant to registration or renewal of registration under section 10 if the registrant were an applicant.
