SRAD

Sportradar Group AG

A sports technology company that collects and processes real-time data from leagues and federations around the world, then sells it to betting operators, media outlets, and sports organizations. It also runs integrity services that monitor betting patterns to help spot match-fixing. The company began in 2001 when two Norwegian college friends built a program to gather betting odds from hundreds of websites; entrepreneur Carsten Koerl bought a controlling stake that year, and the name "Sportradar" plays on the idea of a radar scanning the sports world. Its integrity system has monitored well over a million sporting events in a single year.
