OpticOdds launches Copilot product to drive operator growth
OpticOdds, the premier feed provider for top operators, has launched its state-of-the-art sportsbook management platform, Copilot.
This latest release from OpticOdds empowers operators to run their sportsbooks with real-time, reliable data, allowing them to create custom odds, optimize risk, and increase Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR).
Copilot leverages real-time sports data to produce custom, fully-automated odds at scale. Operators can use the product to create proprietary odds or use industry-standard benchmarks. The platform also gives full control over odds suspension and the opportunity to manually adjust odds to minimize risk, all with the lowest latency in the industry.
Going beyond the numbers, Copilot provides a comprehensive sports data package covering over 150 leagues. This includes wide coverage of play prop markets, futures, and outrights to ensure sportsbooks remain dynamic and competitive. Further workload is reduced through the automation of market settlement, streamlining operations.
Operators can seamlessly integrate the product into existing platform infrastructure to support multiple data formats, including JSON, XML, and RabbitMQ. The platform supports 700,000+ pre-match odds and 500,000+ in-play odds across 3,500+ markets, serving more than 100 clients globally.
Ryan Weinstock, Chief Commercial Officer at OpticOdds, commented: “Copilot has been expertly designed to be operators’ ultimate wingman when it comes to successfully managing sportsbook operations. 125 bookmakers are already benefiting from the Copilot product as we continue to support our clients boost GGR.”

St8 extends TonyBet partnership to Alberta after securing supplier registration
St8 has extended its partnership with TonyBet into Alberta, expanding their Canada footprint following an earlier launch in Ontario this year.
Under the expanded agreement, TonyBet will use St8’s game aggregation platform through a single API integration. St8 said this provides access to its wider catalogue of casino content for players in Alberta.
St8 said the Alberta rollout follows its newly acquired registration to operate in the province as an iGaming Services Supplier, allowing it to provide aggregation services to licensed operators in the market. The company said its platform connects partners to more than 200 game providers via a single API.
David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said:
“Entering Alberta’s regulated market is a strong step for St8 that represents our continued efforts to bring our offerings to as many territories as possible, delivering top-tier results for partnerships at the local, national and international stage. We share this commitment with TonyBet, a company that we are very fortunate to be working with so collaboratively and closely as we continue to grow our presence across North America.”
Kiryl Liudvikevich, Head of Product at TonyBet, said:
“We’re proud that our work with St8 has enabled us to continue expanding across Canada. Through St8’s aggregation platform, we can seamlessly access games from the industry’s leading providers via a single integration, helping us scale efficiently while maintaining a strong focus on the player experience. St8 has cemented itself as our go-to partner for expansion into regulated markets, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration as we grow into new jurisdictions.”

OpenBet reports $3bn staked and 175m bets during World Cup 2026
OpenBet said its platform processed more than 175 million bets and $3 billion in stakes across its global operator customers during World Cup 2026. The supplier published the figures on 22nd July 2026, describing the tournament as its biggest-ever betting event.
The company said England’s run to the semi-finals drove high volumes across its UK-facing customers. OpenBet reported almost 5 million pre-match bets for England vs Norway in the quarter-final, with England vs Argentina close behind at 4.65 million.
OpenBet also pointed to increased demand for player-driven markets. It said 23 million Player Prop bets were processed during the tournament, up 130% versus Qatar 2022, and that the final between Spain and Argentina generated 831,000 BetBuilder bets, 39% more than four years earlier. OpenBet added that ten of the 20 most repeated bet combinations included a Player Goals or Player Stats selection, compared with four in 2022.
In-play betting rose as the knockout rounds progressed, with OpenBet saying live bets reached around one in six bets and carried higher average stakes than pre-match. The supplier said it also provided Managed Trading Services to platform customers during the tournament, covering odds creation, trading content, and risk and liability management.
Beyond sportsbook, OpenBet said its OpenBet Locator
product processed more than 200 million location checks across regulated US states during the World Cup. Nikos Konstakis, President at OpenBet, said: “A World Cup is one of the defining moments for our industry, and this was the largest betting event our platform has ever supported.
“What stands out beyond the numbers is the extent to which player behaviour continues to evolve. Fans are no longer simply backing a result, they are building their own narrative around individual players, and our expanded BetBuilder and Player Prop offering met that demand while delivering the high-margin products operators need.
“Sustained peak load across a six-week tournament is different to managing a single event, and our platform handled it extremely well.
“The highest-profile operators trust us with the events that matter most, and this was the largest of them all.”
