Genius Sports has entered into strategic partnerships with Bayes Esports and GRID Esports to enhance its official esports betting content. These agreements will provide sportsbooks with high-quality, low-latency data, streaming, and trading solutions for some of the most in-demand esports titles.
As part of the partnership, GRID, the only game data platform working directly with game publishers, will grant Genius Sports access to exclusive live esports data. This includes official data from League of Legends and VALORANT—the fastest-growing esports betting title—along with Rainbow Six, Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), and Dota 2 from global tournaments hosted by BLAST and Champion of Champions. Genius Sports’ sportsbook clients will also gain access to official streaming and data visualizations powered by GRID’s data feeds.
Bayes Esports, the exclusive data partner of major esports tournament organizers such as ESL FACEIT Group, will further strengthen Genius Sports’ esports portfolio. Covering the majority of official live data for CS2 and Dota 2, Bayes Esports will contribute its granular Live Match Data alongside low-latency video feeds and live data-powered widgets to enrich the betting experience. Select Genius Sports products will also be made available through Bayes Esports’ distribution channels.
With these agreements, Genius Sports is set to deliver a comprehensive esports betting solution for operators worldwide. By leveraging ultra-low latency data, sportsbooks can maximize market uptime, offer sharper odds, and engage bettors with year-round, high-intensity esports content.
“We are thrilled to announce these new partnerships with Bayes and GRID, two leaders in their field, to create an unrivalled esports content suite for our sportsbook partners” said Matt Stephenson, Global Partnerships Director at Genius Sports. “As the new home of esports for sportsbooks, we will provide our partners with the highest-quality data and odds on the most prestigious titles in the sport.”
