Sportradar to collect and deliver market-leading levels of data to power betting and media products and services
Sportradar announced a new partnership deal with the Caribbean Premier League Ltd to capture and distribute an extensive level of cricket data. Following a competitive tender process, Sportradar is now the Official Data Partner, Official Betting Streaming Partner, and Official Integrity Partner of the Hero Caribbean Premier League, Massy Women’s Caribbean Premier League and the SKYEXCH 6IXTY men’s and women’s competitions.
Cricket is one of the world’s most popular sports, with an estimated annual betting turnover of €80 billion globally.
By utilising the company’s media and betting products and services and leveraging its technical capabilities, Sportradar will provide customers with more data-points from each Caribbean Premier League match than before. Sportradar will also offer audio visual streaming content from 38 Caribbean Premier League men’s and women’s matches and 19 6IXTY men’s and women’s matches each year.
Additionally, Sportradar is providing the Caribbean Premier League with a new Match Centre and embeddable components for the tournament website. The Match Centre delivers live scores, ball-by-ball commentary, match summaries, scorecards and visual insights, while the embeddable components include a match ticker, match listings and standings. Uniquely, the ball-by-ball text commentary is automatically populated using artificial intelligence from the live data collected by the company.
A further aspect of the partnership is safeguarding the integrity of the Caribbean Premier League’s competitions utilising Sportradar’s bet monitoring service, the Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS). The AI-driven proven system identifies any irregular betting patterns to the company’s team of integrity experts who investigate the circumstances further and report suspicious activity to the League.
Eric Conrad, Managing Director Strategic Partnerships and Content, Sportradar said: “This partnership will increase the Caribbean Premier League’s visibility around the world and contribute to its continual growth by connecting it with 2.5 billion cricket fans globally through Sportradar’s global customer network. We’re thrilled to be able to support the League and its athletes in reaching a new, global audience.”

Bally’s Interactive, the digital and sports betting division of Bally’s Corporation, has launched the all-new Bally Bet Sportsbook & Casino app in Ontario, Canada.

Powered by White Hat Gaming, this new app allows players residing in or traveling to Ontario to conveniently place wagers on both sports and casino games using a single app, account, and universal wallet.

Be #GiftSmart: Scratch the Idea of Gifting Scratch & Win Tickets to Kids
BCLC reminds adults to gift responsibly this holiday season
With the holiday season in full swing, BCLC is reminding British Columbians to gift responsibly and scratch lottery products from their shopping lists for kids.
“Scratch & Win tickets can make great stocking stuffers for the adults in your life, but they’re not for kids,” said Ryan McCarthy, BCLC’s Director of Player Health. “The research shows that children who have early encounters with gambling are four times more likely to develop riskier gambling behaviour as they grow up. While people are out shopping for those last-minute gifts, BCLC wants adults to be aware of the potential risks associated with gifting lottery products to children and to consider safer alternatives.”
While Scratch & Win tickets are among the most common ways kids can be introduced to gambling, children are increasingly exposed to various online forms, such as gambling streams.
“With the convergence of gaming and gambling, youth are becoming more exposed to gambling content in online spaces like streaming sites, where creators are able to live-stream their own gambling, usually while playing online slots and instant games,” said Dr. Luke Clark, Director for Gambling Research at UBC. “Our research at the UBC Centre for Gambling shows that a higher frequency of watching online gambling streams is associated with a more positive attitude towards gambling and a high intention to gamble in the future.”
In B.C., it is illegal to sell lottery products to anyone under the age of 19 and BCLC encourages adults to have conversations with the kids in their lives about the risks associated with gambling.
“Open and honest conversations are crucial when it comes to navigating childhood exposure to gambling,” said McCarthy, who shared the following tips to adults:
- Monitor for gambling-related lifestyle changes. For example, developing a positive attitude towards gambling or a preoccupation with video games or streaming sites.
- Be a positive role model. Exhibit safer gambling behaviour and talk about the risks.
- Limit exposure. Monitor kids’ online activities and discourage engagement with gambling content. Explain how gambling is based on chance.
