Anzu, the world-leading provider of in-game advertising, has expanded its cooperation with independent game developer Axis Games.

After successfully integrating the ad platform solution into Axis Game’s mobile version of Axis Football League, the expansion will bring Anzu’s blended in-game ads to a growing set of Axis Football gaming titles on PC and console devices.

The exclusive deal is happening at an opportune time for Axis Games as the company plans to start an esports league this year and stream its matches during the upcoming NFL season, which aligns well with the player database, 95% of whom are US-based. The blended in-game banner and video ads will assist with transforming the digital gaming environment into one that more closely replicates the atmosphere of real-world NFL games.

“We are extremely excited about our partnership with Anzu. Their ability to supply relevant and dynamic ad content will add a large amount of life, immersion, and realism to the stadiums in our game,” Danny Jugan, President of Axis Games, said.

“We are delighted to expand our relationship with Axis Games, and it’s coming at a great time as they prepare to launch and stream their esports league. As game developers, they continue to show their creativity through innovative game features, and this next step – adding in-game ads to their PC and console football games – will deliver a better user experience for players and those watching the live stream,” Itamar Benedy, Co-Founder and CEO of Anzu, said.

Sports data and AI technology company Stats Perform has extended its multi-year, exclusive official betting data and streaming partnership with Australia’s rapidly growing Hungry Jack’s National Basketball League (NBL).

The combination of Stats Perform’s premium in-stadium ultrafast data, low latency live streaming and high quality basketball creates premium in-play betting experiences that are trusted by leading odds providers and licensed sports betting operators and their customers.

“Few global basketball leagues can rival the NBL’s atmosphere, quality and entertainment. We’re honoured to have been trusted to safely deliver high quality NBL betting experiences to their growing global audience for a number of years. In that time we’ve seen the competition and our partnership go from strength to strength, and we’re excited to continue working together to drive future growth,” Alex Rice, Stats Perform Chief Rights Officer, said.

Stats Perform has also been announced as an official integrity partner of the NBL. Stats Perform’s Integrity Operations team will support the NBL in its innovative approach to preventing match manipulation and betting fraud through monitoring and intelligence.

“The NBL is almost unrecognisable from when we first started working with Stats Perform but whilst many things have change our need for a trusted partner to safely manage and grow our betting rights distribution has stayed the same and we’re very pleased to renew our partnership,” Brad Joyner, Chief Commercial Officer of Hungry Jack’s NBL, said.

The NBL official betting data and betting live streaming rights form part of Stats Perform’s betting content portfolio which also includes Spanish La Liga soccer, French Ligue 1 soccer, MLS soccer, WTA Tennis and numerous other sports and competitions. The rights are safely distributed to licensed sportsbooks to create exceptional trusted betting experiences online, on mobile and in retail betting venues.
