Meridianbet Group, one of Europe’s oldest names in the online sports betting and gaming industry, has announced a strategic initiative to improve its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting capabilities. This move highlights the Group’s strong commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility, fitting well with its growth strategy and ongoing social impact.
Advanced Integration and Comprehensive Monitoring
Meridianbet is enhancing its ESG efforts with new solutions designed for smooth integration into its current operations. This integration will support detailed monitoring and reporting across essential environmental areas, including energy consumption, management of waste, emissions, and the use of renewable energy sources. Increased data analyses will also deliver more in-depth coverage of societal impact, both internally and externally. This comprehensive approach ensures thorough coverage of sustainability issues, advancing Meridianbet’s commitment to transparency and responsible business practices.
Accountability in Line With Sustainability
By adopting an advanced ESG reporting framework, Meridianbet is focusing on 100% transparency across every facet of its business, with specific attention to regulatory and investor interests. The objectives are meticulously defined: to remove the need for manual data entry, employ cutting-edge data analytics, and utilize detailed visualization tools. These measures aim to streamline operations significantly and provide all stakeholders with a comprehensive view of Meridianbet’s dedication to sustainability and responsible business practices.
Building on the Foundation of a Rich CSR Agenda

The Group has a rich history of engaging in CSR activities, from promoting environmental sustainability to enhancing public health, raising awareness on key issues, supporting charitable causes, and backing grassroots sports. In 2023 alone, the Group launched 225 CSR campaigns worldwide.
These efforts reflect Meridianbet’s resolve to contribute positively to society. The move to enhance ESG reporting marks a new phase in this journey, affirming the Group’s dedication to leading with actions that emphasize diversity, inclusion, and a sustainable future.

Study of 1,752 Big 5 league matches finds a 12-point uptime gap; live World Cup leaderboard to run during the tournament.
Bettormetrics has launched what it calls the first World Cup Trading Performance Benchmark, ranking sportsbooks on in-play market uptime ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The sports odds intelligence firm said it will publish a live World Cup leaderboard on its website during the tournament to track trading performance.
The benchmark measures operator uptime on the Total Goals market across 1,752 fixtures in the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1. Bettormetrics analysed 22 operators and published a Top 10, reporting a gap of more than 12 percentage points between the highest and lowest performers.
Tipico ranked first overall with 95.9% uptime, followed by Fanatics (95.3%) and Betsson (94.9%). Superbet (94.8%) and Betano (94.7%) rounded out the top five. Bettormetrics said Premier League fixtures generally delivered the highest availability across operators, while La Liga was “the key differentiator” and “consistently produced the lowest availability figures across the field.”
The results also highlighted regional shifts. Bettormetrics noted that none of bet365, William Hill, Ladbrokes or Paddy Power made the Top 10, while Fanatics placed second overall as the highest-ranked US operator. It also flagged Pinnacle and SBOBET as ranking poorly on in-play availability in this analysis despite “strong reputations for pregame pricing and market depth.”
Sabin Brooks, CEO of Bettormetrics, said: “The World Cup represents one of the highest-risk and highest-opportunity periods in the sportsbook calendar. Small differences in uptime, trading performance and market availability can have a material impact on turnover, profitability and even reputation.
“The World Cup leaderboard will answer one simple question: which sportsbook performed best when it matters most?”
