The PA Media (PA), supplier of multimedia sports editorial and data services, has moved to enhance its esports capacity, forming a strategic partnership with PandaScore, a specialist in delivering real-time esports statistics and odds provisions.

Leveraging its existing commercial networks, the PA’s betting division will act as the exclusive distributor of PandaScore’s esports API for bookmakers across Europe and the UK, whilst further representing its new partner on a non-exclusive basis for North American incumbents.

PandaScore API provisions use artificial intelligence technology to collect hundreds of data points in real-time from an extensive esports catalogue which includes League of Legends, CS:GO, Dota2 and Overwatch.

Michael Grenham, Managing Director of Racing and Sports Betting, PA Media, said –   “PandaScore’s innovative approach to using AI to collect and process real-time data from esports matches, combined with PA’s unparalleled reach, provides a powerful proposition for sportsbook operators.

“This new relationship with PandaScore is a significant step in PA’s ambitions to form partnerships around predictive data with ground-breaking businesses around the world.”

Flavien Guillocheau, Chief Executive Officer at PandaScore, said: “This partnership will help our customers grow by unlocking new and underserved markets that engage fans, backed with the confidence of working with a supplier they know and trust.

“Esports is a rapidly growing and competitive marketplace. PA shares our vision that esports are a big part of the future, especially with millennials and gen-z audiences which are as interested in Fortnite as football.
