Betsson Group Renames Suaposta and Presents a New Betting Platform
The innovative project was conceived in partnership with the Jockey Club of Rio Grande do Sul, qualifying the operator for a leadership position in the country.
Betsson Suaposta is now called Betsson. This is the third and final phase of the rebranding project, which has been coordinated by Betsson Group in partnership with the Jockey Club of Rio Grande do Sul. Betsson’s technical platform, more modern and complete with additional features, and a local customer service team gathering all the necessary expertise, together provide an undisputed betting experience from Brazil to Brazilians.
“We are very excited to present our new platform to the market and to our customers, positioning the Betsson brand in Brazil. We have communicated all phases of this re-branding, with total transparency, to make sure the transition was smooth and giving the community the opportunity to become familiar with Betsson. Although new here in Brazil, Betsson is a world leader in the iGaming market”, explained André Gelfi, founder of Suaposta and now Managing Director of Betsson in Brazil. “In this special moment, we would like to express our gratitude to our partners at the Jockey Club of Rio Grande do Sul, who believed in our vision and supported us to make this project happen in record time”, he completes.
For José Vecchio Filho, president of the Jockey Club of Rio Grande do Sul, it is an honor to be part of Betsson’s growth. “We are proud to be part of this successful journey. It is essential for the Jockey Club Rio Grande do Sul to have a global partner that supports our traditional club and regional gaucho horseracing. We are very confident that together we are well-positioned to become leaders in Brazil, ”he said.
New Betsson platform
With Brazil, Betsson adds yet another market to its scalable platform, where the operator’s proprietary technology offers customers new and exciting features across the board, enhancing the betting experience.
In addition to being able to follow the “Daily Jackpots”, with millionaire prizes at the largest racetracks in the world, users of the platform will now also be able to mark their favorite horses and receive notifications during races. The “General Statistics” feature will provide the bettor with complete performance information on horses, jockeys, and trainers. Another highlight is the “Early Bet”, through which the user will be able to choose and bet in advance on their selected races.
The betting system has also been expanded with the inclusion of Fixed Odds betting. An additional 22 countries with racetracks available for betting have been included, totaling 34 options. As a result, the number of races increases from 90 thousand per year to 220 thousand per year. Finally, it will be possible to place accumulated bets at different racetracks using the “Accumulated Bets” function.
All this and more on the new Betsson platform!
Stats Perform, the global leader in sports AI, data and technology, has announced an official data partnership with the Northern Super League (NSL). The partnership will allow world-leading Opta data to be collected live from every NSL league game for the next three years.
Beginning this month, the Northern Super League (NSL) establishes a new era in Canadian sport as the country’s first professional domestic women’s soccer league — an ambitious and transformative initiative co-founded by former Canadian international and Olympic medallist Diana Matheson. Its inaugural season kicks off on April 16 and will feature six teams who have assembled multinational player rosters with extensive club and international experience, including 100-cap Canadian internationals Desiree Scott and Quinn.
Once the action begins, detailed data from every on-ball event, including advanced AI-powered Opta Analytics metrics such as Expected Goals (xG) and Expected Assists (xA), will be captured and distributed via feeds and Stats Perform products, including OptaAI Studio. This will enable various broadcasters, publishers and rights holders to generate stories and insights throughout the NSL season and provide them straight to the league’s fans in real time.
As part of the agreement, the NSL’s League Office and every NSL club will also have access to Opta Search, part of OptaAI Studio. This will allow their content creators to leverage all Opta data collected during the NSL season in the creation of data-led stories on the stand-out performers, and will help them generate key talking points for publication on official league and club platforms. Opta Search will also empower the NSL’s media team to create a range of data visualizations, including player shot maps and touch maps, to visually illustrate the impact of different players’ on-field performances.
Christina Litz, NSL President, said: “We are thrilled to have Stats Perform on board as our official data partner. When we talk about detailed performance data in soccer, Opta is the gold standard, so we are delighted to have it powering each of our official digital channels. As the season progresses, we want to put the spotlight on all the on-field heroes who emerge and having access to world-class data will help us tell their stories and inspire a new generation of Canadian soccer fans.”
Steve Xeller, Chief Revenue Officer at Stats Perform, said: “Stats Perform has been a huge supporter of expansion leagues around the world, so we are very pleased to be partnering with NSL in the lead-up to their first domestic campaign. Seeing a fully professional women’s soccer league launch in Canada is an incredibly exciting development for the sport in North America and we see considerable potential in working proactively with the League’s Head Office to help the competition grow, using the power of AI and data-led storytelling to build fan communities across the continent.”
