Cipher Sports Technology Partners with Advance Local

Published

on

 

Cipher Sports Technology Group has announced a sports betting partnership with leading U.S. publisher Advance Local.

The agreement will see Cipher STG’s predictive analytics tools and content integrated into Advance Local’s PennLive.com, LehighValleyLive.com, and GulfLive.com platforms, providing users with data rich information that will help them make more informed decisions when it comes to their sports betting.

With nearly 10 million unique monthly users, PennLive is the premiere source for news, sports, entertainment, and more across Pennsylvania, one of the earliest adopters of online sports betting following the repeal of PASPA in 2018.

“We are really grateful for the opportunity to partner with several of Advance Local’s leading websites. There’s no doubt Advance Local is one of North America’s most trusted publishers, so for them to engage us at this stage of our journey is a huge shot in the arm for our business,” Adam Fiske, CEO of Cipher Sports Technology Group, said.

“Our flagship brand, Dimers.com, has been operating across the United States, including Pennsylvania, for a number of years now, so the opportunity to get some of our sophisticated sports betting products, tools and content in front of Advance Local’s audience has already produced some great results,” Adam Fiske added.

Cipher STG specializes in predictive analytics and sports-betting-focused content for all major U.S. pro and college sports, PGA Tour golf, ATP and WTA tennis, plus major soccer leagues such as the English Premier League, La Liga, Liga MX and MLS.

In addition to the integration of their Dimers-powered predictions and quality editorial, Cipher STG will also help to position Penn Live, Lehigh Valley Live, and Gulf Live as platforms of choice for North American sportsbooks looking to reach an educated and broader audience of sports fans.

“The international experience that Cipher Sports Technology Group brings to the table was very interesting to us. Their knowledge of the sports betting industry, and how to create new revenue streams from it, made them the ideal partner for Penn Live, Lehigh Valley Live and Gulf Live as we look to add complementary content to what are already highly respected and trusted platforms,” Howard Kamen, VP of Sports Betting and iGaming at Advance Local, said.

Zimpler Becomes Certified Payment Institution in Brazil, Strengthens Local Open Finance Ecosystem

 

Zimpler, a leading Swedish company in Pay-by-bank solutions, has become a certified Payment Institution (PI) in Brazil, authorized by the Central Bank. Now Zimpler is allowed to facilitate payments and other Open Finance ecosystem resources, streamlining the checkout process and reducing friction by allowing direct transactions without redirecting users to bank apps. This movement solidifies Zimpler’s plans and structure in Brazil.

“We are thrilled to receive this authorization from the Brazilian Central Bank. The recognition of Zimpler as a payment initiator reinforces our commitment to this local market, which offers a great opportunity for growth and value in a very dynamic and competitive environment,” said Johan Strand, CEO of Zimpler.

The authorization, which also allows Zimpler to act as an electronic money institution, strengthens the Open Finance ecosystem in Brazil, one of the most advanced in the world and which now welcomes the leading payments fintech from Sweden. Businesses looking to thrive in the country can now benefit from the Zimpler’s seamless payment experience, giving them a competitive edge in a dynamic and fast-moving market.

“This milestone showcases the strength of Swedish innovation and the mutual benefits that come from closer economic collaboration between Sweden and Brazil. Sweden has long been a leader in financial technology, and we are proud to see companies like Zimpler bring their experience and trusted solutions to contribute to Brazil’s dynamic digital economy,” said Andreas Rentner, Trade Commissioner and Country Manager of Business Sweden in Brazil.

“With our experience powering over 80% of Sweden’s population through Swish, we’re bringing the same proven technology and approach to Brazil through Pix, one of the most successful real-time payment systems in the world. We’re looking forward to helping businesses unlock the full potential of Open Finance in Brazil with seamless, secure payments that drive market growth,” Strand said.

The authorization by the Central Bank is another step in strengthening Zimpler’s foundation in Brazil, following the opening of its São Paulo office in 2022. The company remains focused on expanding its footprint and deepening its partnerships across key verticals such as iGaming, where it sees strong growth potential.

NFL Announces Partnership with ICRG

NFL Announces Partnership with ICRG

 

The National Football League (NFL) announced a partnership with the International Center for Responsible Gaming (ICRG) to address growing concerns around gambling behaviors among college athletes and students. The NFL Foundation will contribute $600,000 over three years to support independent, peer-reviewed research being led by the ICRG that aims to explore the prevalence, risk factors, and impacts of gambling behaviors in these populations.

While initial studies have indicated that college athletes may be at higher risk for gambling problems, there remains a lack of comprehensive, current data on how college populations interact with online sports betting platforms. This NFL-ICRG initiative will empower independent researchers to explore a wide range of topics with the goal of informing data-driven prevention strategies, education, and policies aimed at reducing gambling-related harm. Grant applications will be peer-reviewed prior to the selection of the final recipient by the ICRG Independent Scientific Advisory Board.

Additionally, the NFL will fund an update to the ICRG’s “Talking with Children About Gambling” educational resources to equip parents, coaches, and educators with practical guidance to help prevent youth gambling exposure before college. Educational materials will be widely available online and distributed to schools, community sports organizations, and youth programs nationwide.

“We’re proud to partner with the ICRG to advance research that can drive meaningful solutions and address a critical gap in the understanding of gambling behaviors among college athletes and students. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to promoting responsible gambling and fostering a safe and supportive environment for athletes, fans, and communities,” said Anna Isaacson, NFL senior vice president of social responsibility.

“The NFL has once again demonstrated its commitment to player and fan protection by supporting this critical research targeting young adults. The NFL and ICRG together will make a meaningful contribution to understanding and implementing policies and programs that support a safer gambling environment,” said Arthur Paikowsky, president of ICRG.
