Sports betting analytics specialist Bettormetrics has secured Series A funding from Bettor Capital and Velo Partners, to build out their advanced Sports book analytical platform and services.

Bettormetrics launched in 2022 and already has several tier 1 bookmakers in the US and Europe using their cloud-based analytics technology. The company is seeking to expand their client base to leverage their next generation services and expertise to optimise their trading desk’s performance.

Exploiting the latest big data technologies, Bettormetrics has pioneered a data lead revolution in trading, using statistics to identify trends and patterns of profitable behaviour ensuring their clients have an advantage on their competitors.

Robert Urwin, Co-founder and CEO of Bettormetrics, said: “We are delighted to be working with specialist investors who share our vision of data driven Sportsbook optimisation. Big data analytics are a game changer when it comes to identifying and removing the key repeating deficiencies in trading operations. Most sports desks are completely unaware of the impact poor suspension and price position can have on their overall GGR. Our clients tend to be progressive data centric companies who are looking to use cutting edge analytics to deliver a sustainable competitive advantage, and a significant uplift in GGR.”

Peter Heneghan of Bettor Capital said: “We are excited to back the Bettormetrics team as they continue to deliver significant value to sports betting trading teams with their industry-leading trading analytics platform. Rob, Roger and the rest of their team have first-hand experience dealing with the challenges that trading teams face on a daily basis, and are on a mission to provide a solution to help trading teams navigate these challenges. With the continued proliferation of in-play betting and a greater number of betting markets being offered, there is strong market demand for more powerful analytical tools to monitor pricing, risk management and betting activity in real-time, and the Bettormetrics team has built a platform that helps operators solve these to maximize the efficiency of their trading operation.”

Evan Hoff of Velo Partners said: “We are thrilled to continue our support for Bettormetrics as they embark on this exciting phase of growth. Bettormetrics has demonstrated unparalleled prowess in the sports betting analytics space, providing indispensable insights for operators in an increasingly dynamic market. We believe in the transformative power of data-driven solutions, and Bettormetrics is at the forefront of driving positive change in trading operations.”

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.
