Deal covers Serbia-based operator’s Balkan territories
SIS (Sports Information Services), the leading multi-channel supplier of 24/7 live betting services, has experienced a successful launch with MaxBet after delivering its esports betting product SIS Competitive Gaming to the Serbia-based operator.
MaxBet is now live with the end-to-end solution built specifically for sportsbooks, with the esports betting product already providing significant margin returns for the operator.

With integrity at the heart of the SIS Competitive Gaming offer, every match is monitored by a dedicated integrity referee, trained by the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC), ensuring that bettors receive a high-quality betting experience. Strict player due diligence procedures are in place to keep competitions fair and transparent, while all players take part remotely to meet new health and safety measures.
Anze Gantar, Digital Sales Manager at SIS, said: “We’re very pleased with how SIS Competitive Gaming has delivered such strong engagement and margin returns for MaxBet in its opening few months of operations.
“The product has proven to be a valuable addition for sportsbooks, and the success to date is testament once more to the quality and integrity that has been built into SIS Competitive Gaming from inception.”
Darko Zivanov, Group CEO at MaxBet, said: “Launching with SIS has proven to be a great success. Our customer base across the Balkans has thoroughly enjoyed the exciting esports experience and live betting opportunities available through SIS Competitive Gaming.
“We are very confident that they will continue to enjoy the esports betting experience, helping us to further boost engagement and drive profitable revenues in the process.”
