By collaborating with Bayes Esports and GRID Esports (GRID), Genius Sports Limited has expanded its esports offerings. These partnerships seek to improve betting experiences globally and give sportsbooks access to official, premium esports data.
Genius Sports will get exclusive live esports data from GRID, a top data platform that works directly with game producers. Along with comprehensive coverage of CS2 and Dota 2 from international events held by BLAST and Champion of Champions, this also includes data from well-known games like League of Legends, VALORANT, and Rainbow Six.
Moreover, Genius Sports’ partners will benefit from official streaming and data visualizations, offering bettors a more engaging experience.
In addition, Bayes Esports will contribute to Genius Sports’ offering with its granular Live Match Data. As the exclusive data partner for major esports organizers like ESL FACEIT Group, Bayes covers a significant portion of Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2 tournaments. These games generate substantial revenue for sportsbooks, making the data especially valuable.
Bayes Esports’ suite of products includes low-latency video and live data-powered widgets, further enhancing the sportsbook experience. Some Genius Sports products will also be available through Bayes Esports’ distribution, creating a mutually beneficial exchange.
With these partnerships, Genius Sports will offer sportsbooks a comprehensive trading product, providing both pre-match and in-play data. Powered by ultra low-latency data, the system will ensure sharp odds and maximize market uptime. This enhanced offering will allow sportsbooks to attract a wider audience, tapping into the growing demand for esports betting.
“We are thrilled to announce these new partnerships with Bayes and GRID, two leaders in their field, to create an unrivalled esports content suite for our sportsbook partners. As the new home of esports for sportsbooks, we will provide our partners with the highest-quality data and odds on the most prestigious titles in the sport,” said Matt Stephenson, Global Partnerships Director at Genius Sports.
With esports gaining popularity, this strategic move positions Genius Sports as a key player in the global esports betting landscape.
