THE NHL SELECTS SPORTRADAR TO POWER NEW NHL.TV

 

In conjunction with the start of the 2022-23 National Hockey League (NHL) season, Sportradar and the NHL introduced a refreshed NHL.TV, the League’s direct-to-consumer international OTT subscription service, available to hockey fans in certain countries and territories outside of the U.S. and Canada, to provide an engaging and fan-friendly viewing experience of live and on-demand NHL games.

Sportradar is delivering its award-winning OTT solution to help the NHL manage the end-to-end workflow of NHL.TV, including the OTT backend, all OTT frontend applications (including web and mobile applications) and UX/UI design, as well as third-party integrations on the platform.  The revamped NHL.TV is available in more than 120 countries and territories around the world.

In addition to live game streams, NHL.TV offers fans team-specific personalization features, including on-demand videos and additional highlights. NHL.TV will be available on connected TV applications including Android and Fire TV and is also deployed on the Foxxum Operating System.

“Today’s sports fans expect a viewing experience that is highly personalized and tailored to their unique interests. By utilizing our truly dynamic and trusted data-driven, end-to-end OTT solution, which have been developed and refined over the last 15 years, NHL.TV has the ability to meet and exceed viewer demands,” said Ed Blonk, Chief Commercial Officer at Sportradar. “We look forward to working closely with the NHL to deliver an innovative product that will deepen fan engagement now and in the future.”

“Similar to our North American fan base, NHL international fans are extremely tech savvy and expect a premium digital viewing experience,” said Stephen McArdle, NHL Senior Executive Vice President, Digital Media & Strategic Planning.  “Sportradar’s refresh of NHL.TV for certain international markets will help provide fans around the world with a more personalized and enhanced experience with the game, and we look forward to continuing to collaborate with Sportradar to deliver a best-in-class international direct-to-consumer platform.”

Through a landmark, global 10-year agreement announced in June 2021, Sportradar is the NHL’s Official Betting Data Rights, Official Betting Streaming Rights and Official Media Data Rights Partner, distributing the League’s official data and statistics to media, technology and sports betting companies worldwide, including real-time data from NHL EDGE, the League’s Puck and Player Tracking technology, and live streams of NHL games via betting operators’ digital betting platforms available in legalized markets.  Additionally, as an Official Integrity Partner of the NHL, Sportradar proactively helps to safeguard the integrity of the NHL’s competitions by monitoring global gaming activity and trends worldwide.

EDGE Boost Named Preferred Payment Method for World Series of Poker Event Series

Published

on

 

EDGE Boost by EDGE Markets, a financial platform for smart bettors and gamblers, has partnered with World Series of Poker, the premier series of worldwide poker tournaments. The EDGE Boost debit card is now the preferred payment method for WSOP, offering ease of payment, safety, and several exclusive on-site perks for tournament players.

In past tournaments, WSOP players were limited to $10,000 per transaction and had to complete a lengthy approval process, often resulting in frequent cash deposits. Now, those using the EDGE Boost card through PayPal checkout can bypass traditional credit card verification. They can also make entries up to $250,000, which eliminates the need to carry large sums of cash at the event and increases security measures.

“Poker players competing at WSOP events typically face many roadblocks funding their entry at the casino and managing any payout. In the past, players had to bring multiple checks from different accounts which complicated the deposit process and led to security issues of players walking around with large cash rewards. EDGE Boost simplifies this entire process and makes it entirely digital. Now these players can focus on their game without worrying about these extra factors. This partnership lays the groundwork for the future of gaming,” said Seni Thomas, CEO and Founder of EDGE Markets.

This focus complements player safety and strengthens WSOP’s appeal as an attractive event for poker players globally.

“EDGE Boost is going to completely transform the WSOP experience. This partnership immediately enhances our brand and player experience through tangible benefits that make them feel safe and supported. Together, we are setting a new standard for how the rest of the gambling industry should operate. We also hope this improvement attracts more players to our events because of the frictionless financial process made possible by EDGE Boost, leading to a safer and easier-to-use system for all involved,” said Greg Chochon, Chief Operating Officer at WSOP.

“EDGE Boost gives players what we’ve needed for years – seamless access to our money, without hassle or judgment,” said Lexy Gavin-Mather, Professional Poker Player and Coach.

EDGE Boost is also sponsoring an exclusive lounge at the WSOP in Las Vegas through July 11. It offers EDGE Boost cardholders a private space with refreshments, Wi-Fi, and autograph sessions from poker champions like 17-time WSOP Bracelet Winner Phil Hellmuth and WSOP Main Event Champion Jamie Gold.

“EDGE Boost is more than a card; it’s a tech revolution for gaming. Instant access, ironclad security, and flawless control – all designed to let you play your game,” Hellmuth said.

“If you’re still traveling with cash, wiring money, or dealing with silly limits you’re way behind. EDGE Boost is a literal game changer! It’s a Visa debit card built for serious players who want control over their bankrolls. It saves me so much time and keeps me safe! No brainer to sign up ASAP,” Gold said.
