QUARTER4 PARTNERS WITH PARLEH MEDIA GROUP TO ELEVATE CANADIAN SPORTS BETTING CONTENT
Quarter4, an AI-powered predictive sports data and analytics provider for media, affiliates and betting platforms, today announced a new partnership with Parleh Media Group, a digital media, content production and events company specializing in content for sports fans. Quarter4’s data analysis will inform content for The Parleh’s daily betting picks videos available on their owned and operated platforms and distribution partners. The one-year partnership begins immediately.
“This partnership supports the much-needed progression in this industry. Two Canadian companies are advancing the content available to sports bettors and fans across North America,” said Kelly Brooks, Co-Founder and CEO of Quarter4. “Parleh Media Group’s business strategy is extremely innovative and demands diverse analytics to support their scaling operations. This is especially valuable in a market like Ontario, where advertising regulations prevent matching offers, the traditional method used to attract bettors.”
Quarter4’s verified deep-learning neural network provides millions of insights for games and player matchups, including in-game probabilities that support micro-betting. This data is available via API, custom dashboard and most recently, embeddable products such as brackets, player-effect simulators and seeding-probability widgets. These diverse offerings ensure that companies at various stages can take advantage of the technology.
“Now we can easily move beyond producing the obvious content for the games with the largest fan bases by leveraging Quarter4’s data and insights to prioritize our daily betting picks videos to truly cover the best global bets each day,” said Mark Silver, Parleh Media Group founder and CEO. “We’re also thrilled to be Quarter4’s first partner in Canada, who, like us, are making an impact far beyond Canada’s borders.”
Quarter4 and the Parleh Media Group make it clear that while Canada is a priority market, the scale and vision of both digital companies is on a global scale.
“Our Canadian nationality is not the only thing we have in common with the Parleh Media Group,” said Danijela Covic, Co-Founder and Chief Sales Officer of Quarter4. “We are both pushing the boundaries of innovation in this global industry. Parleh Media Group is incredibly unique and has made sports betting content accessible and applicable to a diverse and growing market. We are proud to partner with their team to provide Canadians and the world with the strongest sports betting content on the market.”
MetaBet, the pioneering provider of sports betting engagement tools, has partnered with Gentoo Media, a leading affiliate, to integrate its cutting-edge sports betting widgets into two of Gentoo’s flagship websites, World Sports Network (WSN) and Time2play.
MetaBet’s proprietary widgets are designed to nurture engagement, increase sportsbook conversions, and maximize affiliate revenue, all through seamless integration with just one line of code. With market-setting load speed and contextual placements, MetaBet’s products will empower Gentoo to focus on what they do best.
WSN and Time2play are trusted platforms for sports betting and casino enthusiasts in the US and Canada. Between them, they have captured an audience of millions of sports fans on the back of expert reviews, exclusive offers, and accurate content. As Gentoo amplifies its presence in the US, MetaBet’s innovative technology will be a key element in their success.
MetaBet Founder, Mark Phillip, said: “Partnering with Gentoo Media, a data-driven company with a new name but long track record, is a testament to our market-leading status. Our technology, leveraged through their trusted platform will enhance engagement and conversions to accelerate Gentoo’s growth strategy within the US and beyond.”

PlayAGS, Incorporated (NYSE: AGS) (“AGS” or the “Company”), a global gaming supplier of high-performing slot, table, and interactive products, today announced the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), in connection with the previously announced agreement for the Company to be acquired by affiliates of Brightstar Capital Partners (“Brightstar”) for $12.50 per share in cash (the “Proposed Transaction”).
The HSR Act waiting period expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 9, 2024, satisfying an important condition necessary for the completion of the Proposed Transaction, which is expected to close in the second half of 2025, subject to other conditions and regulatory approvals.
SOFTSWISS, a global tech company with over 15 years of experience in iGaming, introduces a new Geo-Distributed Redirect feature of Affilka by SOFTSWISS that helps operators improve engagement and conversion rates by reducing user redirect times.
The Geo-Distributed Redirect feature intelligently routes users to destination landing pages via regional clusters closest to their location. This geo-optimised infrastructure minimises redirect times, increasing successful website visits from referral links. The feature is designed for seamless scalability across multiple regions and enhances performance globally, wherever needed.
With the new feature, Affilka by SOFTSWISS reduced redirect duration by 2.5 to 5 times. At one of the regions, for example, extensive simulated tests showed a decrease in redirect times for users from 1.5 seconds to 300-500 milliseconds – this is one of the fastest responses available in the market. As a result, the feature implementation leads to a 3.5% to 7% growth in users successfully reaching casino sites. This increase in site traffic, in turn, directly contributes to more registrations and deposits.
The Geo-Distributed Redirect feature boosts conversions, accelerates redirects, enhances fault tolerance and high availability, and improves service reliability for users globally. Even during unexpected challenges, the system dynamically reroutes traffic to alternative resources, ensuring a seamless experience.
Gleb Bichan, Product Lead at Affilka by SOFTSWISS, shares his excitement: “With the launch of our Geo-Distributed Redirect feature, we are addressing the needs of clients targeting users worldwide. By reducing redirection times and increasing reliability, we enable our partners to deliver a superior user experience that drives traffic delivery and conversions. This feature is a significant improvement for customers looking to expand their global reach.”
Along with affiliate marketing, SEO website advancement helps operators promote their projects. Considering this, SOFTSWISS issued a comprehensive Casino SEO Audit: The Ultimate Guide, providing tips for increasing any iGaming project’s visibility.
The SOFTSWISS team looks forward to sharing the details of the Geo-Distributed Redirect feature and other product updates at the upcoming SiGMA Europe Expo. Current and potential partners can book a meeting with company representatives at stand 2145 through the contact form.
