Infront, the media, betting and technology partner of France’s Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), has partnered with Genius Sports to implement cutting-edge tracking technology across the Ligue 1 McDonalds and Ligue 2 BKT.
Infront’s commitment to deliver best-in-class technology and data services to the LFP is part of a broad partnership encompassing betting rights, selected media rights and digital and technology services, the latter powered by Infront Lab, the innovation arm of Infront.
The use of computer vision for data capture sits closely at the heart of Infront’s new betting division, Infront Bettor. As part of a broad partnership, Infront will introduce Genius Sports’ world class data and tracking technologies to the LFP.

Machine learning and AI will provide data-driven performance tools to LFP coaches and analysts enhancing training, in-game decision making and post-match analysis. Augmented, data-driven broadcasts will also include key tracking insights displayed to viewers in real-time.
Full coordination of the technology with the LFP will be handled by Infront as it looks to deliver an improved product to the league’s media partners as well as bookmakers.
Martin Aurenche, LFP Media Chief Media Officer, said: “Infront has demonstrated their commitment to ensuring the LFP remains at the forefront of football innovation through this partnership. We are excited to see what GeniusIQ will bring to our league in terms of cutting-edge data insights, enhancing not only the fan experience but also providing clubs and coaches with invaluable tools to elevate their performance.”
Chris Catling, Head of Infront Bettor, said: “The appointment of Genius Sports is a testament to Infront and LFP’s shared commitment to innovation. It will enhance both the fan experience whilst also empowering clubs and coaches with tools that drive performance and strategy. The LFP continues to be a dynamic partner and together we are charting a course for the future of football that is both exciting and transformative. Our intention will always be to provide the best technology available to our partners, either in-house or via trusted third parties.”
Jack Davison, Chief Commercial Officer of Genius Sports, said: “Together, Infront, LFP and Genius Sports share a vision for implementing best-in-class technology to enhance French football both on and off the pitch. We’re excited to begin this new partnership to put the LFP at the forefront of data innovation through GeniusIQ.

Leveraging Everi’s CashClub’s comprehensive payment infrastructure, Bitline’s solution is able to efficiently board, screen and verify patrons looking to leverage their digital assets whilst also allowing patrons to move screened assets into custody within minutes. Bitline’s integration with Everi’s CashClub, will enable the technology for the benefit of Choctaw Casinos & Resorts, and is the first time that such a functionality has been possible in the U.S. regulated casino market.
The collaboration works to cater to the growing demand for greater cryptocurrency and digital asset integration within the casino industry. The collaboration between Bitline and Everi’s CashClub forms a transferable blueprint that offers casino operators and their patrons an alternative way to manage funds, access liquidity, and leverage the benefits of cryptocurrency and other digital assets.
This milestone reflects a strategic shift in how casino operators view and manage financial interactions with their guests. The introduction of cryptocurrency as a liquidity solution provides additional options for guests and lays the foundation for Choctaw Casinos & Resorts as it looks to the future of gaming sector finance, setting a new standard in financial accessibility and convenience.
“Working with Choctaw Casinos & Resorts and Everi’s CashClub to make this a reality is a historical moment for both the casino and blockchain industries. Bitline was conceptualized to advance the gaming sector and offer a wider variety of financial options for the casino industry,” said Richard Jones, CEO at Bitline. “We’re entering an era where digital assets can fundamentally enhance the gaming experience, providing casino operators with a future-ready financial framework that can expand and evolve as the industry does. This collaboration is just the beginning of our vision to modernize casino payment capabilities on a global scale.”
“We are excited to be the first casino in North America to offer our guests another way to play,” said Thomas McDonald, Senior Director of Cage and Credit at Choctaw Casinos & Resorts. “Through our long-term relationship with Everi, a leader in fintech solutions, we will continue to invest in innovative offerings that provide the discerning gaming VIP access to funds in a safe and secure manner.”
The Choctaw Casinos & Resorts integration represents only the first phase of Bitline’s broader mission to bring cryptocurrency solutions to casinos and casino patrons worldwide. As cryptocurrency and digital assets continue to gain traction in the gaming sector, Bitline’s easy to integrate and patented payment model stands poised to become a key player in transforming gaming finance. Future plans include expanding services across other major casinos and gaming markets, both domestically and internationally, establishing cryptocurrency as a new standard feature of the gaming experience.
The solution is to be formally rolled out on March 7, 2025, with the first transaction taking place at Choctaw’s Durant, Oklahoma, location.
