Sportradar and Baseball Australia (BA) have entered a multi-year partnership to engage sports fans globally by broadcasting Australian Baseball League (ABL) games live on a dedicated OTT platform for the very first time.

The new live streaming service, onDemand, is just one part of a strategic partnership struck between Baseball Australia, Sportradar and the ABL. In addition to powering the new OTT platform, Sportradar will serve as the ABL’s exclusive betting data and audiovisual rights distribution partner, connecting the game through products and services to its global network of sportsbook operators and media customers.

Sportradar has also been chosen as the ABL’s official integrity partner, with the company’s industry-leading Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS), an advanced and proven bet monitoring system, deployed to safeguard the integrity of Baseball Australia and ABL competitions.

The first games to be broadcast on the Baseball Australia-owned OTT platform will be Round one of the ABL season, commencing on November 10. The service will initially launch as a Web platform, with a dedicated App to be built by Sportradar for the start of the 2023/24 season.

With national team members returning for Round one of the ABL, the eight-team strong league has a busy schedule of 160 regular season games over ten rounds. The return of the Auckland Tuatara and Geelong-Korea teams this season means fans across the entire Asia region, and around the world, will be able to watch their teams fight down under for the Claxton Shield.

Dave Edwards, Sportradar’s Director of Sports Media and Partnerships – Oceania, said: “We’re pleased to partner with Baseball Australia and the ABL to help them reach and engage new audiences both here in Australia and around the world. By taking an intelligent, technology-driven partnership approach to content distribution, rights holders can directly control how their assets are commercialised, while learning more about their fans in the process. We look forward to assisting BA and the ABL as they pursue their ambitious growth strategy.”

Glenn Williams, CEO of Baseball Australia, said: “An ability to house Australian baseball content onto the one platform for fans to see is something we are really excited about. This is a one-stop shop for the fans to consume their baseball content from Little League all the way through to the ABL and Team Australia. Partnering with Sportradar, a global company who work with major sports leagues around the world, will be a major boost for baseball in Australia.”

Paul Gonzalez, General Manager of ABL, said: “We are excited to partner with Sportradar to bring the ABL into the homes of sport and baseball fans across the world. This is a revolutionary deal with the Australian Baseball League that will not only provide a high-quality stream but also integrity and opportunity to the league. We are proud to partner with such a global brand who works with other elite sports bringing the focus back to the Australian Baseball League and its athletes.”

Soft2Bet Launches Swiper – Sweden’s First Social-Media-Style Casino

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Soft2Bet has launched Swiper, Sweden’s first online casino built around the swipe-driven navigation popularised by social media apps. Specifically designed for mobile users, Swiper enables players to effortlessly discover, select, and play games using just their thumb. Operating under a licence from the Swedish Gambling Authority, Swiper offers players a secure, responsible, and fully compliant gaming environment.

Soft2Bet, a leading turnkey provider of highly localised and engagement-driven iGaming solutions, has introduced Swiper, a new brand explicitly developed with Swedish players in mind. Many elements of Swiper have been carefully localised, including onboarding, payment methods, and game certification, to ensure they resonate fully with Swedish preferences and comply seamlessly with Spelinspektionen standards. By integrating BankID verification and instant transactions via Swish, players can quickly register, deposit, and withdraw, while remaining securely connected to Spelpaus, Sweden’s national self-exclusion system.

At the heart of Swiper is a personalised, endless feed of short-form video clips highlighting new releases, jackpots, and live-dealer action, similar to browsing stories on TikTok. Every swipe is enhanced by Soft2Bet’s proprietary MEGA (Motivational Engineering Gaming Application) engine, which delivers tailored missions, quests, and rewards designed to increase player engagement, session duration, and lifetime value.

Here’s a video showing how the Swiper works: https://youtu.be/_a3DvwX60bc

This launch builds on Soft2Bet’s proven success with localised brands, such as Betinia and CampoBet, and its recent partnerships, which have created dedicated local divisions and leagues. With Swiper, Soft2Bet takes localisation even further by introducing SEK wallets, dedicated Swedish-speaking dealers, and fully customised mobile apps, demonstrating a clear commitment to adapting each brand to local culture, regulatory standards, and player preferences.

Yoel Zuckerberg, Chief Product Officer at Soft2Bet, commented: “A great customer experience starts with cultural relevance. Swiper looks, feels and functions exactly like a Swedish app, because we’ve intentionally built it around Swedish user habits, from BankID logins and Swish payments to RNG certifications aligned with existing standards. Players can expect endless social-style content that feels completely authentic to their local experience.”

Swiper introduces several key features tailored specifically to Swedish players:

  • One-handed swipe navigation for rapid game discovery
  • Over 85,000 live and 70,000 pre-match sports betting events covering diverse sports markets with competitive odds
  • Localised promotions tied directly to Swedish events and holidays
  • The design is adapted to local player preferences and cultural context

In 2025, Soft2Bet successfully launched multiple brands and deployed several innovative MEGA engines across Europe, significantly redefining the local player experience. The Swiper launch further demonstrates Soft2Bet’s capability in converting its advanced B2B technology into engaging, highly localised, market-leading B2C products across 11 regulated markets.

BOS in letter to the Government: appoint a new Gambling Inquiry

Published

on

Reading Time: 2 minutes

BOS – The Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling – is today sending a letter to the Ministry of Finance with a proposal to appoint a new gambling inquiry. The inquiry’s task should be to propose measures that strengthen the proportion of legal, licensed gambling in Sweden, that is, the so-called channelization.

The Swedish Gambling Authority confirmed earlier this week in a report that the state’s goal with the gambling policy regarding its channelization is not being reached. The goal is at least 90 percent channelization, but Sweden only reaches 85 percent. And for online casino, the product category where it is most important for consumer protection reasons that the proportion of legally licensed gambling is the highest, it is actually the lowest (72-82%).

During September this year, government investigator Marcus Isgren is expected to present a proposal that aims to strengthen channelization within one area, namely the so-called scope of application of the Gambling Act. It is a welcome proposal, but few stakeholders believe that this single adjustment is enough to achieve the goal of the gambling policy, at least 90 percent channelization.

For this reason, BOS is proposing today in its letter to the Ministry of Finance that the government appoint a new broad gambling inquiry, with the task of proposing measures that strengthen channelization in the Swedish gambling market. Among the proposals that should be considered, BOS mentions a somewhat less rigid regulation of loyalty bonuses, which are currently completely prohibited.

BOS Secretary General Gustaf Hoffstedt comments:

“We hope that the government will take to heart the serious situation for the licensed gambling market, most recently confirmed in the Gambling Authority’s report on the proportion of unlicensed gambling in Sweden. The appointment of a broad inquiry tasked with preventing leakage to the unlicensed gambling market would undoubtedly be this government’s most important measure to protect and strengthen the legal regulated gambling market, before Sweden goes to the polls in September next year.”
