SIS signs Competitive Gaming esports agreement with Spreadex
End-to-end offering to deliver superior margins for UK operator
SIS (Sports Information Services), the leading supplier of 24/7 live betting content, has agreed a deal with Spreadex to deliver its esports betting product, SIS Competitive Gaming to the UK based operator.
The new agreement will enable Spreadex’s customers to watch and bet on SIS Competitive Gaming’s live head-to-head events between highly skilled gamers, across three titles, including the newly launched 24/7 Counter Strike (CS:GO) product with its unique 2v2 format, which is easier to understand for bettors.
Spreadex will gain access to a broad range of pre-match and in-play betting markets as part of SIS’ end-to-end offer of ultra-low latency live streaming, data, on-screen graphics with unique betting prompts such as form, players stats and results, as well as highly engaging live caster commentary.
The recent addition of 24/7 CS:GO betting events complements the existing Competitive Gaming offering of Esoccer and Ebasketball, taking the number of events offered to over 150,000 a year. Competitive Gaming is the only esports product available to sportsbooks that has visible referees monitoring every game, who have undertaken ESIC-based training, and maintain real-time communication with operators and traders.
SIS Competitive Gaming is an end-to-end solution which has been specifically built for sportsbooks and offers superior revenues and margins to operators, compared to other esports products.
Harri Hulatt, Commercial Manager for the UK & Europe at SIS, said: “It’s fantastic to announce such a high-profile deal with Spreadex for our new 24/7 CS:GO offer, and we are thrilled to provide them with the quick-fire betting opportunities and superior margins.
Andrew Wallington, Head of Trading, Product & Operations at Spreadex, said: “It is fantastic to be able to bring SIS Competitive Gaming onto our platform, substantially increasing the number of quality betting opportunities we can offer our customers.
“It is a product that we believe will greatly appeal to our customers, and the three titles, including Esoccer, Ebasketball and now CS:GO, will help increase engagement and drive incremental revenues.”

North Star Network Acquires Um Dois Esportes
North Star Network has acquired Um Dois Esportes, a sports coverage and analysis site created from the merger of Gazeta Do Povo and Tribuna do Paraná in 2020.
Julien Josset, co-founder of North Star Network, said: “Thank you to the team at GRPCOM for their faith in us to take the brand forward. Um Dois Esportes is an established and renowned site in Paraná State, and we’re excited about the challenge of developing this asset.
“We’re happy to maintain the collaboration with the existing editorial team, and look forward to working with them, bringing our unique NSN approach, to take UDE forward.”
NSN’s signing of Um Dois Esportes is the media house’s fourth acquisition of 2024, following the recent deals to purchase UK-based SportsMole and MrFixitsTips, as well as Chilean site AlAireLibre, which was announced in March.
The latest addition to the North Star media portfolio joins existing assets including Top Mercato, Afrik-Foot, and Vringe. The Paris-based company already oversees a significant Brazilian operation, delivering over 6 million sessions per month, from the likes of Trivela, Premier League Brasil and Lakers Brasil.
NSN will retain Curitiba-based journalists from the Um Dois Esportes legacy team to maintain the asset’s unique tone and popular coverage of the Paraná sports scene across site and social.
Rafael Mello, Director of GRPCOM, said: “We were surprised by the interest, and initially had no intention of selling Um Dois, but as the conversations evolved, we realised this was a serious group with good intentions. We were very happy to see our project being valued by a large international group and going global, demonstrating the quality of the content we produced.
“We’re also proud that North Star inherited our journalists, who are truly responsible for the success of the product we offer readers every day.”
