Genius Sports, the international sports data technology company, has today expanded its partnership with Dimayor, the Colombian professional soccer league.
The deal will provide Genius with the exclusive rights to use and distribute Dimayor data and live video streams for regulated sports betting.
This will include all Liga BetPlay, Torneo BetPlay, Copa BetPlay and Superliga BetPlay games.
Genius has over 150 regulated sportsbook partners, which now get access to more official premium data and streaming content from Latin America.
In addition, Genius will continue to provide its Bet Monitoring System to maintain transparency within Colombian soccer, by flagging suspicious betting activity.
The agreement with Dimayor, which oversees the top two Colombian divisions, comes on the back of other Genius soccer deals with the Argentine Football Association and Mexico’s Liga MX.
