PandaScore and Dabble unite through shared commitment to innovation
Dabble, the home of the social bet, has selected innovative esports odds and data provider, PandaScore, to launch its first esports offering to players in Australia. The partnership brings together two next-generation companies pushing boundaries across both betting and esports.
Dabble has built a community of people that enjoy a more inclusive, social and engaging betting experience across traditional sports and now esports. Its app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and the Google Play store and allows users to follow others, write bet descriptions and share them with others while bantering with their fellow Dabblers.
Under the partnership, Dabble will integrate PandaScore’s powerful Odds feed to offer hundreds of pre-match markets across thousands of events covering major titles such as League of Legends, Dota2 and CS:GO.
PandaScore’s odds models are backed by an expert esports trading team, allowing Dabble to offer the most competitive odds in the market. This in turn allows operators to hit an industry leading margin. Dabble can also access 24/7 trading support plus post-match odds analysis and history.
The operator has also opted to roll-out PandaScore’s innovative BetBuilder tool, allowing players to curate their own bet slips for added engagement.
Dasha Kirilishina, Senior Sales Manager at PandaScore, said: “We are a data-driven company that sits at the cutting-edge of technology, esports and betting. In Dabble, we have an operator that shares our love of innovation, which makes this the perfect partnership for both parties.
“We offer the most comprehensive esports odds, powered by the best data in the business. We combine this with our team of expert traders to ensure partners such as Dabble can offer the best value and experiences to their players. Our BetBuilder takes this to the next level, giving more control to players over the bets they place.
“This is a great partnership for us and one that we believe will be a tremendous success for PandaScore, Dabble and most importantly, bettors.”
Tom Rundle, Dabble Chief Executive Officer, added: “We knew our customers wanted to bet on esports, so we needed a partner that could consistently deliver a wide range of betting odds, and with a high level of accuracy in their pricing.
“Our deal with PandaScore gives us confidence that when combined with our unique Dabble social features, we can now deliver an unrivalled betting experience for esports fans in Australia.”
