This partnership follows the recent announcement that Brazilian global football legend Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, better known as Ronaldinho, will be joining MASL as a co-owner of an expansion team. With teams spanning the United States and Mexico, growing interest from footballâs elite, and new commercial partnerships, MASL is poised to bring the fast-paced game to a global audience.
âMajor Arena Soccer League and MASL Properties is excited to partner with ALT Sports Data and to bring these high skilled and scoring games to bettorsâ said Rob Striar President MASL Properties. âMASL games are ideal for betting with non-stop action and a great format. We look forward to partnering with ALT Sports Data and reaching new fans.â
ALT Sports Data allows the world to have a stake in the outcome of emerging and alternative sports by providing the trading data and services and the communities surrounding them to sports betting. ALT Sports Data empowers sportsbook operators to set pre-event markets while allowing them to manage in-game odds, and this partnership allows soccer fans to connect with the sport in an innovative and exciting new fashion.
âAs the official data partner for MASL, we will be able to add another layer to an already fast-paced and exciting league.â said Todd Ballard, CMO of ALT Sports Data. âLegal sports betting means more fans and greater engagement for MASL.â

The two companies will work together to continue to springboard newly funded EDGE MarketsÂ
Defy the Odds (DTO), a startup launchpad supporting entrepreneurs in the gaming and betting industry, announced a strategic partnership with EDGE Markets, the company behind EDGE Boost, one of the first debit card products designed specifically for responsible gaming. Together, the two companies aim to enhance financial accessibility and innovation within the gaming space while also promoting more responsible gaming. DTO will provide a host of advisory, consultative and partnership development services within the gaming sector to EDGE Markets.
âFrom our more than 80 collective years of experience in the betting industry, Sue Schneider, Kelly Kehn and I feel that EDGE Boost is exactly what the betting community needs right now,” said Paris Smith, Co-Founder of Defy the Odds. “Not only does it give players easy access to their own funds while promoting responsible gaming, but its built-in tools encourage smarter play. For operators, it identifies responsible players without adding extra costs or complexity. Weâre excited to partner with Seni and the EDGE Markets team and help drive EDGE Boost to the next level.”
Defy the Odds will join EDGE Boostâs advisory network and also provide insights on how EDGE Boost can integrate itself further into the betting and gaming industry. Last month, EDGE Markets came out of stealth mode, announcing it had closed a $17.2 million funding round and that, since the start of 2024, the EDGE Boost debt card has already processed over $300 million in transactions.
 âEDGE Boost is focused on providing bettors with financial tools that enhance their experience while keeping responsible gaming at the forefront,â said Seni Thomas, Founder and CEO of EDGE Markets. âWorking with Defy the Odds will allow us to introduce our technology to many more eyes and innovators in the betting and iGaming space, giving them the financial flexibility they need to succeed while also promoting responsible gaming.â
The EDGE Boost bank account is FDIC-insured up to $250,000*, providing financial security, while all user data is safeguarded on a private, encrypted platform. EDGE Boost users are already using the card for transactions across all major digital gaming platforms, without any fees or integration required for operators.

Casino Guru enriches its portfolio with a dedicated sweepstakes casino database and updated safety index
Casino Guru, the global authority on online casino transparency and player safety, is expanding its portfolio with the introduction of a dedicated sweepstakes casino overview tailored to the rapidly evolving U.S. market.
Following months of in-depth research and development, the company has unveiled a new initiative focused on social sweepstakes casinos â a unique and increasingly popular segment of the online gaming space. As part of this expansion, Casino Guru has adapted its trusted Safety Index to reflect the specific characteristics of sweepstakes casino models.
âWeâve been hearing about sweepstakes casinos for quite some time, from social media buzz to community discussions and expert panels,â said Jozef Krucay, Branch Operations Lead at Casino Guru. âIt became clear this wasnât just a passing trend, but a notable shift in how people engage with online entertainment.â
Unlike traditional online casinos, sweepstakes casinos use virtual currencies such as Gold Coins, Sweeps Cash, or Vegas Gems. Players can enjoy games for free or use purchasable coins to enhance their experience. With some luck, they may receive a special sweepstakes currency, which can be redeemed for real-world prizes â presenting both exciting opportunities and important considerations for player protection.
Casino Guruâs newly launched content includes:
- Listings for 11 published sweepstakes casinos, with over 60 more identified and currently in development
- An adapted Safety Index that reflects the distinct risks and rules of sweepstakes platforms
- Educational materials and player resources, including complaint-handling tools
- Planned detailed reviews to provide deeper insights into each platform
âOur goal is to help players navigate this growing space with the same clarity and confidence weâve brought to traditional online casinos,â Jozef added. âAs always, our focus remains on transparency, safety, and informed decision-making.â
This new direction positions Casino Guru at the forefront of player advocacy in emerging casino formats â with a clear path toward future expansion in the broader world of social and sweepstakes gaming.
