Detailed Review

History

Betradar's journey began in 2001 when Norwegian entrepreneurs Petter Fornæss and Tore Steinkjer formed Market Monitor AS, a company built around a program that scraped and compared betting odds from multiple online bookmakers. Early investor Carsten Koerl acquired a controlling 51% stake, becoming a co-founder and later CEO of what would become Sportradar AG. In 2016, the company rebranded to Sportradar, though the Betradar brand persisted as its flagship commercial offering.
