and competitions in the pipeline?
We are kicking this off with top three leagues in England, Germany and Spain. We are then adding Europe’s top knock-out football tournaments, and rapidly increasing played events to 700 per day in those countries and others including second and third tier leagues.
We are already working to extend this further to other sports including tennis with all major tournaments, basketball, handball and much more. Our AI engine can instantly provide us with more games.
What betting opportunities are available pre-match and in-play?
All the betting options players would normally be presented with on a matchday are presented within Simulated Reality with a focus on in- play betting. Today’s generation of football fans switch between games, both in real and virtual terms and are
constantly monitoring current standings and scores, and this product allows them to instantly replicate that behaviour and
experience
Why are fixtures scheduled to be played as per the original date and kick off time?
As there are limited numbers of live sporting events that operators can offer and players can bet on now, this is a fantastic product for operators to offer their customers, giving them the opportunity to see their teams finish the season via a unique user experience.
We have created a new category. With very little live action, if we can provide a product now that can be trusted by bettors, replicating games as they would be played and at the same time of day they are played, that are fair and unpredictable, then I’m confident that bettors will enjoy the experience. In the future when sports come back, I believe this product could also have a longer lifespan as there is huge demand now.
even more complex because everyone is now working remotely. It has been a huge challenge to do this in such a short space of time; to standardise the software processes, to develop the product, to test it across every parameter, integrate it into own data feeds and to launch it in five days.
Simulated Reality draws on Sportradar’s historical football database and statistical output. How accurate is this data? How do you ensure unknown variables, such as weather, home advantage, injuries and suspensions, are factored into team form and normal match play to simulate a match?
Te AI engine looks for historic games with similar conditions and odds and, depending on the game, lets the RNG decide which sequences to choose and show next.
For example, if a team finds themselves 1-0 down after 20 minutes, then they will inevitably push for an equaliser. Te engine recognises appropriate, but completely unpredictable, sequences. Tis product is our chance to model how real games would take place as they would happen in real stadiums.
What competitions are covered by Simulated Reality at launch and are there further leagues
Unlike many Virtual Sports, Simulated Reality plays out over a full 90 minutes with the game visualised by live match trackers. How do keep punters engaged over such a long period without any real sporting action taking place?
Players today watch and monitor the action across multiple games simultaneously so there will be a lot of action all taking place at the same time, initially across three leagues, but then we will extend this to many others across different countries. Add to this a range of other sports, and players have the ultimate sports betting entertainment product.
Do you visualise Simulated Reality as a stopgap measure for the sporting hiatus or an alternative form of betting that is here to stay?
