SIS (Sports Information Services), the supplier of 24/7 live betting content has agreed to power the esports betting offering of Spreadex, the UK’s leading spread betting operator.
The partnership will allow Spreadex’s customers to watch and bet on Competitive Gaming’s live head-to-head events, including SIS’ newly launched 24/7 Counter-Strike (CS:GO) channel offering its 2v2 format for esports wagering.
Bolstering its esports offering, Spreadex will gain access to a broad range of pre-match and in-play betting markets as part of SIS’ end-to-end package.
Further benefits will see Spreadex content supported with ultra-low latency live streaming, data, on-screen graphics with unique betting prompts such as form, players stats and results, as well as highly engaging live caster commentary.
Andrew Wallington, Head of Trading, Product & Operations at Spreadex, said: “It is fantastic to be able to bring SIS Competitive Gaming onto our platform, substantially increasing the number of quality betting opportunities we can offer our customers.
“It is a product that we believe will greatly appeal to our customers, and the three titles, including Esoccer, Ebasketball and now CS:GO, will help increase engagement and drive incremental revenues.”
The recent addition of 24/7 CS:GO betting events complements the existing Competitive Gaming offering of Esoccer and Ebasketball, taking the number of events offered to over 150,000 a year.
SIS Competitive Gaming is an end-to-end solution which has been specifically built for sportsbooks and offers superior revenues and margins to operators, compared to other esports products.
Harri Hulatt, Commercial Manager for the UK & Europe at SIS, said: “It’s fantastic to announce such a high-profile deal with Spreadex for our new 24/7 CS:GO offer, and we are thrilled to provide them with the quick-fire betting opportunities and superior margins.”
