sports featuring short-format events. One of our partners, Pro League Network, exemplifies the bold investment in the streamer generation.
By inventing, producing, and distributing its own alternative sports, such as Carjitsu and Coffin Wars, it has carved out a distinctive niche. Te addition of betting markets was a natural evolution, and with the imminent launch of a dedicated Amazon Prime channel, PLN now has a highly accessible platform to expand its consumer reach.
How do third-party innovators help operators bridge the gap between fast-moving cultural trends and reliable, scalable betting products?
All of our third-party partners are innovators, striving to tap into the growing demand for alternative sports, or inventing new sports that they feel capture the zeitgeist. Operators cannot standstill, to avoid this they must add new content and features to help drive new users and prove they can resonate with the varying demands of all adult generations; Abelson’s third-party partners help operators to do exactly that.
Some of the sports available via Abelson’s feed feature short seasons, making it even harder to gain traction with operators. A possible solution to this arrives via another Abelson business interest, Virtually Sports. Virtually Sports is a virtuals supplier specialising in building highly innovative games for all types of sports, from Cricket roulette to Japanese Kyōtei to Camel Racing.
With the capability to model complex maths into RNG solutions, as well as being able to capture the visual movements and essence of a sport, Virtually Sports offers a chance to build out an on-demand shopping window for introducing bettors to niche sports at any time.
How are micro-markets, player props and real-time predictive data
redefining what engagement means inside a sportsbook?
A key metric for any sportsbook is how long a customer remains within the site or app per visit. Micros, props and real-time scoreboards or form updates all help retain the customers’ attention. Te intention is to provide the punter with all the tools required to make an informed wager.
Live streaming of events also has a place here, but the evolution of the sports watcher means they are just as likely to catch up with a highlight reel or follow along via stats updates while simultaneously watching or playing something else. If the operator can also provide that secondary stimulus then the app becomes much more valuable.
What role does Abelson’s third party partner ecosystem play in enabling rapid experimentation and differentiation for operators who want to tap into social-first betting behaviour?
One of the main inhibitors to success for suppliers is operator prioritisation, or in their cases, the lack of it. It is unlikely that an operator will dedicate internal resource to integrating a standalone alternative or niche sport offering. Operators may still offer the product, but via manual upload of prices and settlement, which is far from ideal.
One of the valid concerns for any operator looking to offer niche sports content is integrity. All of the third-party partners available via Abelson’s feed have stringent integrity guardrails in place to ensure the sports they are pricing and settling are honest.
An operator with an Abelson Football Player Markets integration can access any of our third-party partners’ feeds with minimal integration effort, allowing operators the chance to take a ‘punt’ and experiment with different sports to see which of them resound with its customers.
