Golden Whale Partners with Entain’s Finnplay
Pioneering data science company set to make its full suite of features and methods available on leading Nordic platform provider to optimise retention and boost engagement across all brands
Golden Whale, the innovative provider of data-driven services for the online gaming industry, has announced that it has partnered with Entain-owned platform provider Finnplay to make its next-gen machine learning infrastructure available to all supported brands.
As a result of the collaboration, all technologies provided by Golden Whale including the company’s pioneering Foundation technology layer and its revolutionary LOOPS self-optimisation programme, will now be seamlessly integrated onto Finnplay-powered brands, empowering customers to optimise their retention and boost player engagement.
Given Finnplay is already a multi-award-winning platform provider from the Nordics that offers a diverse portfolio of supporting services such as engagement tools and regulatory compliance, the inclusion of Golden Whale’s ground-breaking artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies will certainly add a number of tangible benefits to the brand’s clients as they bid to further strengthen their foothold in the market.
“Over the past couple of years, Golden Whale has been refining its technologies to deliver even more powerful results to customers and having the opportunity to now do so on such a large scale through our partnership with Finnplay will naturally be of significant value to both businesses,” the Chief Executive Officer for Golden Whale, Eberhard Durrschmid, said.
“By integrating our predictive optimisation tools and next-gen infrastructure across all Finnplay-powered brands, we can help customers gain genuine insights into their data and deliver real-time results that will be of great benefit to their retention and engagement figures. As such, it’s an exciting collaboration that we’re very much looking forward to.”
“As the leading iGaming platform provider from the Nordic region, Finnplay is always looking for ways to add value to our offering and provide customers with new tools that can have a tangible impact on the success of their businesses,” the Managing Director for Finnplay, Jaako Soininen, said.
“By partnering with Golden Whale, we believe we’ve found the perfect way to give Finnplay-powered brands an edge on the competition. By utilising its advanced data science and machine learning technologies, Finnplay customers will now gain key insights, empowering them to make optimised decisions on how to better engage with players in future.”
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and Sportradar Integrity & Regulatory Services, a unit of Sportradar AG announced the extension of their long-standing partnership, set to begin with the 2025 season. The new agreement aims to enhance efforts to combat match-fixing in Brazilian football and safeguard the integrity of the sport.
Sportradar, through its industry-leading Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS), will deliver integrity monitoring for more than 8200 men’s and women’s matches organized annually by the CBF. Through this renewed partnership, the UFDS will now cover all Brazilian national championships.
The renewal of the partnership comes at an important time in the fight against match-fixing. According to the Integrity in Action 2024 Global Analysis & Trends published by Sportradar in early 2025, the number of matches suspected of being manipulated worldwide fell by 17% in 2024. Notably, in 2024, Brazil experienced a significant decline in the number of suspicious soccer matches, with 53 fewer cases detected – a decrease of 48% – compared to the previous year.
Ednaldo Rodrigues, President of the CBF, said: “Strengthening the integrity of Brazilian football is a priority for this administration, and the renewal of this partnership further reinforces our commitment to this mission. The work of the CBF’s Integrity Unit, in collaboration with Sportradar, will complement monitoring by FIFA and result in more than 10,000 Brazilian football matches being covered this season. It’s an impressive and symbolic milestone that makes us very proud. This is a partnership that has been bearing fruit and has been crucial in the fight against match-fixing, ensuring a fairer and safer environment for the sport.”
Andreas Krannich, Executive Vice President of Integrity & Regulatory Services at Sportradar, said: “We have built a strong collaboration with CBF to reinforce the integrity of Brazilian football. With this new agreement, Sportradar is providing the most comprehensive coverage Brazilian football has ever had. We are very pleased to continue this partnership with one of the world’s most-renowned football organizations.”
The continuing partnership with CBF, which began in 2018, underscores Sportradar’s commitment to protecting global football from potential integrity threats. This effort joins existing agreements established with leading football organizations including CONMEBOL, FIFA, UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), and the Colombian Football Federation (FCF), as well as more than 270 other sports organizations and government authorities.
