Stats Perform, the sports tech leader in data and AI, has announced a new partnership agreement with Atmosphere, the worldwide leader in streaming TV entertainment for businesses, to bring Stats Perform sports data to the platform’s Atmosphere Sports channel.

Atmosphere Sports brings sports fans the latest breaking news, stories, live scores, highlights, and betting lines, as well as the conversations and content on social media that dominates the daily sports news cycle. Designed to serve as both a business’s primary entertainment and the ideal second screen experience, the channel can play alongside a broadcast, allowing viewers to focus on the game instead of checking their phones for breaking news, insights and data. Stats Perform will provide Atmosphere Sports viewers with real-time scores, stats, standings, betting lines, and more, across US sports and the English Premier League, putting everything they need to enjoy the game right in front of their eyes.

“We are very excited to partner with Atmosphere,” Wayne Ford SVP of America Sales and Global Partners and Channels at Stats Perform said. “With their unique market and Stats Perform providing advanced data and insights across a variety of sports, we are looking to bring a whole new level of sports storytelling to a vast new group of fans for years to come.”

Atmosphere reaches over 25,000 venues worldwide. Optimized for viewing in public spaces, Atmosphere’s free ad-supported streaming platform features engaging content that encompasses viral video compilations, extreme sports, lifestyle, art, ambient nature and entertainment, reaching more than 25 million unique visitors per month. The company was also just named to this year’s Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list and won Best Connected TV Platform at the 2022 Digiday Video & TV Awards.

“We are revolutionizing the presentation of sports for businesses. Sports data and the real-time visualization of that data are critical pieces of that puzzle,” says Micah Grimes, Vice President of Atmosphere News & Sports. “Stats Perform, with their global coverage, stood out in a competitive data market as the best partner to power our vision to success as we scale.”

In an iGaming Real Talk interview in Dubai, the firm says the tool reads player emotion and context to guide operator actions.

SoftConstruct AI has unveiled RecSys, an AI Game Recommendation System, during an exclusive iGaming Real Talk interview recorded at AIBC Eurasia in Dubai on Thursday 30th April.

Mushegh Khachatryan, Chief AI Officer at SoftConstruct AI, said RecSys is designed to move beyond traditional recommendation models by interpreting player emotions in real time and accounting for context, with the goal of suggesting “the next best action” for operators. “You can understand your customer’s emotions in real time and suggest the next best action. We are building intelligent systems which can reason and act.”

Khachatryan said SoftConstruct built an AI Center of Excellence by hiring talent from outside the iGaming sector, and described RecSys as part of “production-ready agentic AI” intended to support personalised campaigns and decision automation. Surya Palli, host of iGaming Real Talk, said: “SoftConstruct is essentially building a Netflix-style personalised experience for the iGaming industry, where every player gets a lobby made just for them.”

Responsible gaming was also discussed, with the company claiming AI can detect risky behaviour faster and more consistently than human teams, and recommend timely breaks while balancing player protection with sustainable growth.

Khachatryan also stressed the need for explainable, controlled deployment. “AI should help teams perform five times better rather than replace them… Without proper boundaries, short-term momentum boosts with AI can actually hurt your company in the long term.” The company said operators can manage campaigns, personalisation and risk through chat interfaces, with at least 85% accuracy “from the first interactions,” and directed viewers to the full interview on the iGaming Real Talk YouTube channel.
