PandaScore has secured a ‘breakthrough partnership’ after becoming the lead esports data and odds feed supplier to esports bookmaker LOOT.BET.
The partnership will see PandaScore supply its comprehensive esports feed, providing in-play data for competitive gaming’s most popular markets including League of Legends, DOTA 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Call of Duty, Rocket League, Overwatch, PUBG, FIFA, Valorant and King of Glory.
Further operational benefits will see LOOT.BET supported by PandaScore’s dedicated in-house esports trading team, pricing more than 116 pre-match and +125 in-play markets, which are fully secured through the use of AI managed automation.
Flavien Guillocheau, CEO at PandaScore, said: “LOOT.BET has emerged as one of the leading esports betting operators in markets around the world, so we are delighted to have entered into an agreement to provide it with our state-of-the-art data and odds feed.
“This will enable LOOT.BET to offer more odds and markets to its players than ever before, which in turn will allow it to scale and drive significant growth following its acquisition by Intema. This includes the most in-depth in-play markets available across key esports titles.”
LOOT.BET has upgraded its data and odds supplier, having signed a letter of intent to be acquired by emerging esports and iGaming company Intema for approximately $17 million.
The partnership will enable LOOT.BET to significantly increase the scale and scope of the odds and markets it offers to players, while ensuring the highest level of in-play market uptime.
Peter Zhalov, CEO at LOOT.BET, said: “In PandaScore we have a data and odds provider that is at the cutting-edge of the industry, providing a powerful data and odds feed that will allow us to deliver a superior experience to our players as we continue to expand at pace.
“Its in-play capabilities are standout; this is a challenging market to offer in the esports arena, but PandaScore has found a way to make it work while also delivering high levels of uptime. This is a great partnership for us and one that will undoubtedly be a huge success.”
