Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Bet365 is to meet demand from bettors by offering Opta-powered player and team stats bets across additional elite football competitions from Europe, Asia and Latin America.

The increased competition coverage is made possible by an expansion in supplier Stats Perform’s award-winning, premium Opta data feed, which is specifically built for trusted player and team stats betting. It is now available to power stats bets for a further 19 elite competitions, covering over 3000 additional matches per year.

The upgrade means licensed sportsbooks can now offer Opta-powered player and team stats markets for nearly double the previous coverage, reaching more than 7000+ matches per year in total, helping them drive further growth and thrill bettors with every shot, pass and tackle.

Stats markets have revitalised football betting in recent years, driven by Opta’s investment and uniquely trusted brand, and feature heavily in popular betting experiences like same-game multis.

Andrew Ashenden, Chief Betting Officer at Stats Perform, said: “Collecting and supplying Opta data for an additional 3,000 new matches to the standard required for frictionless, trusted player stats betting experiences is the culmination of months of work from our expert teams. This effort reinforces our commitment to helping operators innovate and create compelling, personalised products that their customers love. We are delighted that this ambition has been recognised by bet365, who have added these new competitions to their offering at the earliest opportunity.”

Alongside the expanded Opta data feed coverage, Stats Perform has added other key tools to enable more entertaining and trusted betting and more confident trading. The Opta Trading Viewer helps sportsbook trading teams optimise their trading, pricing and settlement workflows for stats markets, further improving customer experiences. The Same Game Multi Assistant, a fully hosted application inside Stats Perform’s Content Player Pro, helps bettors find in-form players across more than 15+ stats categories, for 250+ global leagues. This product gives bettors vital information before and during matches to help them more easily make betting decisions on stats markets, including those connected to same game multis, bet builders and pre-canned multis.

Stats Perform’s Ashenden said: “Our trusted, premium Opta player and team data has helped inject material growth into a mature football betting experience, in a way few believed possible. It has helped sportsbook operators to unlock new customer segments, reinvent betting entertainment and contribute significantly to margin, whilst creating trusted betting experiences that are phenomenally popular with users. All leading global sportsbooks choose Opta data to model, manage and trade these markets, help bettors track them in-running on their front end, and for settlement. We’re proud to be at the forefront of such innovation, grateful to our teams for their consistently high-quality work and to our licensed sportsbook partners like bet365 for their creativity and support. What’s more, this is still only the beginning of our ambitions to grow the space even further.”

It includes in-depth attack analysis and reporting to provide greater transparency and clarity over the source of each security vulnerability.

With a product upgrade roadmap that includes geolocation anomaly detection, VPN usage analysis, and AI-powered behavioural profiling, Firesand Shield is set to offer operators and platforms significant peace of mind to stay ahead of security threats as they evolve.

Chris Blake, Director at Firesand, said: “Account fraud is a growing threat to the global iGaming industry. There have been multiple cases in the previous year alone where user data has been breached, leading to a detrimental impact for businesses targeted.

Firesand Shield has been designed to support operators and platform providers of all sizes to sharpen their security capabilities as these attacks become more common and sophisticated. Underpinned by our superior iGaming security excellence, we are well positioned to further strengthen online systems on a global scale.”

Meet MegaList: The Rising Force in iGaming Affiliation

Published

Reading Time: 3 minutes

There are affiliate networks, and then there’s MegaList – a performance-first, hype-last kind of operation built for casino and sportsbook brands that prefer results over buzzwords.

In an industry that sometimes feels like it’s powered by vague metrics and recycled content, MegaList steps in as the “Mega Map” – a practical, data-driven network guiding both players and operators to higher ground. Less “look at our reach,” more “here’s your conversion rate.”

So no, this isn’t just another logo-stamped brand promising traffic and delivering bounce rates. This is a carefully engineered affiliate engine built on smart SEO, qualified leads, and just enough caffeine-fueled obsession with results to make even the most skeptical operators pay attention.

The iGaming Affiliate World: Why It (Still) Matters

Let’s be honest – the affiliate space in iGaming has had its fair share of bad actors and empty promises. But when done right, affiliate marketing is still one of the most effective and efficient ways to connect licensed operators with the right players.

Players want fewer popups, more clarity. Operators want actual ROI, not vague impressions.
Enter: the data-driven affiliate network.

It’s simple:

  • Informed players make better choices.
  • Strategic affiliates deliver better traffic.
  • Everyone wins. Except, of course, the shady operators who preferred it the other way.

Meet the MegaList Brands

These aren’t vanity microsites. Each MegaList brand has a specific mission, actual humans behind the content, and a reputation for, well… telling it like it is.

MegaCasinoList


Let’s face it – players don’t need another affiliate promising “top 10 casinos” based on whatever ad paid the most. They need honest, transparent, expert-backed reviews.

That’s where MegaCasinoList comes in – a platform that filters out the noise and delivers legit info on licensed casinos, security, fairness, and gameplay. Slots? Live dealer games? Payout speed? Yep, it’s all in there, and it’s all vetted.

They work with reliable operators only, because – and here’s a crazy idea – not every shiny site deserves your deposit.

MegaTipsList

If you like sports predictions that read like a 20-page legal document, you’re in the wrong place.

MegaTipsList is built for bettors who want real insights, fast reads, accurate tips, and actual value. It delivers predictions, sports news, and timely promotions – minus the fluff and with none of that “win guaranteed” nonsense.

Designed for bettors who like to stay informed without needing a PhD to understand the odds.

MegaBetList

For the practical bettor who just wants the facts: which sites are legit, which ones pay fast, and what to expect before placing your first wager.

MegaBetList reviews betting platforms with a clear, no-nonsense voice. It’s not trying to dazzle; it’s trying to help people bet smarter – and it’s doing a pretty solid job of it.

From licensing to promotions to usability, everything is covered – and everything is filtered through what actually matters to sports fans.

Why This All Matters (And Why It’s Working)

The iGaming world doesn’t need more noise. It needs better filters, smarter partners, and affiliates that actually care whether the traffic leads somewhere useful.

That’s where MegaList comes in – not to impress with buzzwords, but to perform, to scale, and to make sure both operators and players are on the same page for once.

And if we may drop in a little vision while we’re at it:

“At MegaList, we believe informed players and strategic operators shape a stronger, smarter iGaming industry.”

For once, a statement that isn’t just inspirational filler.

So the next time someone pitches you an affiliate network, ask one thing: “Do they have a plan, or just a landing page?”

 MegaList has both, and a track record to prove it.
