The more data GeniusIQ processes, the smarter its insights and predictive analytics become. This enables the platform to power a full range of applications, from optimising on-field performance to elevating fan experiences:

Genius Sports’ optical tracking technology captures 3D player pose and ball tracking data, powering new metrics such as a player’s shot quality, shooter impact, paint touches, contest quality and much more. For example, Caitlin Clark’s average 3-point shot distance is 27 feet and 51.2% of her 3-point attempts have been self-created.

2. GeniusIQ enhancing how fans watch the Premier League

GeniusIQ technology is already powering Premier League Data Zone, a pioneering collaboration between Premier League Productions, the Premier League, Football DataCo, and Genius Sports.

The Data Zone viewing mode integrates rich statistics and tracking metrics into live broadcasts, enhancing fan engagement with detailed data on player performance and match dynamics. Data Zone is used by major broadcasters including NBC Sports, Sky Sports, Optus Australia, ESPN Brazil, and Canal+ France.

Vibra Gaming and its Vibra Solutions platform division will celebrate its success in Brazil at SBC Lisbon on 24th to 26th September by showcasing its partnership with Betsul, one of the country’s fastest-growing brands.

The long-standing Vibra-Betsul partnership began when Betsul chose Vibra to develop an advanced platform technology to power its brand. The Vibra Solutions team worked in close partnership with Betsul to assess its needs and began work on a dedicated, flexible and customisable platform that continues to deliver outstanding results today, much of which will be on show at SBC Lisbon.

This was followed by Vibra’s design of a pioneering product for the Brazilian brand entitled ‘Scratch-a-Lot’, a unique instant-win game that was adapted to Federal Government lottery regulations where only certain game types could be offered to players.

Vibra Gaming will also celebrate its recent licensing success at the show following the news that it is set to become one of the first providers to gain certification for its casino platform and sportsbook technology in Brazil.

Vibra has already secured GLI certification needed to meet Brazil’s regulatory standards and is currently working with certifying laboratories to complete additional requirements.

Fernando Garita, CEO, Betsul, said: “Working with Vibra has been a success and we’re delighted with the progress we’ve made since we started. The team is always responsive, speaks our language in more ways than one, is highly experienced, and knows precisely what our players want. All of this combined means we have a technology partner who we can trust and we know will continue to deliver great results.”

“Betsul was one of the first brands to believe in us and what we’re trying to do in designing and delivering a highly flexible and customizable platform for forward-thinking operators, and we’re very grateful for the faith they’ve shown in Vibra.”
