Genius Sports strikes exclusive official data and integrity partnership with Australian Professional Leagues

Racing and Sports  is pleased to announce the signing of a 2-year contract with Picklebet to provide the Company’s Risk Managed Trading Service and industry-leading customer-facing content to power Picklebet’s Racing product. This will complement Picklebet’s existing esports and sports products offering, which is designed to attract a younger demographic.

Founded in 2020, Picklebet is a future-focused betting and entertainment company that sits at the intersection of esports, younger trending sports, and internet culture. Picklebet exists to reimagine betting and entertainment for tomorrow’s customer through innovative products and original content. Currently serving the Australian market with esports, sports and racing products, Picklebet is finalising licensing for Ontario, Canada, as its next growth market.

The Risk Managed Trading Service is to be delivered in conjunction with strategic partner, Racebook HQ, which recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Racing and Sports to provide the trading expertise for the service.

This deal is significant for Racing and Sports as it signals an entry into the risk managed trading space for wagering operators where it believes the point of differentiation will be Racing and Sports’ superior technology, data modelling and efficiency.
