STATSCORE

Company History and Founding

STATSCORE was founded in Katowice, Poland in January 2006 as a niche sports statistics startup. Over nearly two decades it has grown into an internationally recognised data provider, competing with larger players like Sportradar and Genius Sports. The company’s defining strength lies in its vertically integrated data supply chain: it employs its own network of scouts and editors who watch events and input live data manually, supplemented by automated systems. This hybrid approach ensures both speed and accuracy – a critical advantage for betting operators who rely on millisecond latency.

Business Model and Data Collection

STATSCORE generates revenue primarily through subscription-based data feeds, white-label minisites, and monetisation tools. Its proprietary scouting network provides live data faster than many competitors, and the company claims 99.9% data accuracy across 15,000+ competitions in 40+ sports. The product portfolio is segmented by client need. For media companies, STATSCORE offers widgets (live scoreboards, match trackers) and minisites (LeagueCenter, ScoreFrame, CupCenter) that can be deployed as turnkey solutions, reducing development overhead. For betting operators, the SportsAPI provides deep pre-match and live feeds, while TipsterAPI delivers algorithmic predictions.

Core Products and Platforms

The company’s key APIs include ScoutsFeed (high-speed data from professional scouts), DeepFeed (granular team and player statistics), LiveCommentaryAPI (automated play-by-play narratives), and TipsterAPI (mathematical betting tips). The newer DeepFeed adds granular team and player statistics, and LiveCommentaryAPI automates play-by-play narratives. OddsPlatform is an enterprise-grade odds solution that helps media sites convert editorial content into direct monetisation through betting odds integration. PointsInPlay enables live odds overlays on visual content. White-label minisites such as LeagueCenter, ScoreFrame, and CupCenter allow partners to create fully branded fan engagement hubs for leagues, multi-sport coverage, and tournaments.

Market Position and Competition

STATSCORE competes directly with Sportradar and Genius Sports but differentiates through its hybrid manual-automated scouting network, which it claims delivers faster live data. The company holds relevant licences and certifications (though ISO 27001 is not confirmed in public sources) and serves clients in both regulated and unregulated markets. Its scale is smaller than tier-1 providers, but it has built a loyal partner base of over 300 global sportsbooks and media outlets. The acquisition by LSports in 2024 signals a strategic move to combine strengths; LSports co-founder and CEO Dotan Lazar expressed confidence in STATSCORE’s products and people, suggesting integration without leadership upheaval.

Partnerships and Recent News

STATSCORE has pursued a partnership-driven growth strategy. Key 2025–2026 deals include powering coverage for Portugal’s SAPO, Mexico’s Organización Editorial Mexicana (OEM), and pan-European broadcaster Euronews for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. A three-year partnership with Kalshi brought live sports data to a regulated prediction market platform. An affiliate-focused deal with Kingbet Media demonstrates the company’s appeal in the iGaming ecosystem. These partnerships highlight STATSCORE’s ability to serve both traditional sports media and emerging betting-adjacent platforms.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Key Strengths: Proprietary data collection, high accuracy (99.9%), extensive sport and competition coverage, innovative front-end visualisation tools, strong partner network in media and betting. Potential Weaknesses: Smaller scale compared to tier-1 providers, limited public transparency on financials and headcount, reliance on manual scouting may create operational bottlenecks during peak events.
