The NBA 2K League today named Jeremy Haber, former assistant general manager of the Chicago White Sox, as the league’s first Chief Operating Officer.

Haber will begin in this new role in February, reporting to NBA 2K League CEO Andrew Perlmutter. Haber will play a critical role in defining the league’s long-term growth strategy and in executing top priorities, including building on the collaborative relationships with the NBA and 2K for the NBA 2K League. He will also oversee daily league operations and league wide business functions.

“I am thrilled for Jeremy to join our leadership team and help design the next phase of the NBA 2K League’s growth trajectory,” said Perlmutter. “From identifying new competitive opportunities to crafting and implementing long-term strategy, he brings expertise in building sports businesses through innovation, analytics and technology that will benefit the league for many years to come.”

“With talented players, engaged teams, and devoted fans, the NBA 2K League is at the forefront of esports competition,” said Haber. “I am so excited to join Andrew and this passionate community and immediately begin our work on the NBA 2K League’s next chapter.”

Haber joins the NBA 2K League after 11 seasons with the Chicago White Sox, including nine as the team’s assistant general manager. In that role he assisted the General Manager in the day-to day management of the baseball operations department, including player evaluation and acquisition, free agent and trade negotiations, and roster and payroll management. He was also the lead negotiator for over $250M in player contracts, worked closely with the player development, amateur, and professional scouting departments in setting department priorities, and helped launch the analytics and high-performance divisions.

The trust earned through high-quality product features, including the new Scoreboard and Pitch Tracker widgets, as well as the Bet Builder based on official data, all launched in 2024, has been instrumental in enhancing the customers betting experience. Scoreboards deliver detailed statistics, interactive visualizations, and comprehensive insights, helping users make informed decisions while boosting engagement through features like live betting, analysis, and availability for LoL, CS2, Valorant, and Dota 2.

Pitch Tracker, supporting our top tier titles, offers a 2D map as a visual representation with advanced tools for data analysis and in-game tracking, delivering detailed insights that enhance user engagement and decision-making. Additionally, the Bet Builder enables personalized betting by allowing users to combine multiple selections into a single wager, meeting the demand for tailored and dynamic betting experiences.

The company provides a seamless customer experience and robust Risk Management, continuing to deliver swift and practical assistance.

With an average response time of up to 5 minutes, the dedicated team remains extremely efficient, addressing client concerns promptly while maintaining the highest quality standards. Between Q2 and Q4, handled around 1,500 client requests and completed more than 150 technical tasks effectively and precisely, ensuring high-quality 24/7 support and maintaining consistent service standards.

This is due to our proprietary trading platform that enables the generation and customization of content – specifically, markets – to align precisely with each partner’s distinctive requirements while accommodating their existing settlement rules. This approach ensures a seamless transition to the solution, eliminating the need for adjustments or reconfiguration after working with a previous data provider.

DATA.BET’s Risk Management team efficiently handled over 1,700 client requests. Over time, the number of requests from long-term clients noticeably decreased. The team’s familiarity with clients’ audiences and operations reduces risks through proactive measures. By identifying patterns early, the team prevents issues, ensures smooth operations, reduces reactive interventions, and builds client trust while improving system efficiency.

In 2024, DATA.BET strengthened its presence in the esports betting industry by showcasing its solutions and engaging with audiences at premier exhibitions, immersing attendees into the vibrant world of esports. Moving into 2025, DATA.BET remains focused on leveraging this momentum to drive further success and prospects for everyone involved in esports betting.
