Cipher Launches Industry First Sports Betting Customer Analytics Platform ‘Convertr’

The platform will provide organizations with valuable data insights on their respective matched and unmatched customers’ behavior and interests, based on customer data held by partners
Cipher Sports Technology Group announces the launch of its sports wagering customer analytics and data matching platform, Convertr.
Created in partnership with IXUP (ASX: IXU) and designed for powerful and secure database collaborations between media companies and sports leagues – in conjunction with their respective betting operator partners – Convertr will provide organizations with valuable data insights on their respective matched and unmatched customers’ behavior and interests.
With Convertr, partners can connect and securely collaborate with data outside of their own organization, with 100% control, security and privacy. Further, Cipher Sports Technology Group is excited to confirm it is currently in the process of finalizing two product launch partners.
By unlocking information assets held across different partners, companies can now better engage with both active and dormant sports bettors through custom-tailored marketing campaigns that appeal to each individual user, ultimately increasing betting turnover.
Providing mutual benefit to the betting operator and the strategic partner, Convertr allows both parties to securely upload their own customer data to the Covertr platform, where it is encrypted to the highest global standards.
Once this data is ingested, each party only has access to its own set of customer data insights, all of which are derived from users’ actions and behaviors across the two platforms. Convertr then allows both partners to gain detailed data on their respective users, one of the first platforms in the world with such capabilities.
For example, if it’s determined that an ABC Media user bets solely on NBA with XYZ Sportsbook, but also reads a lot of PGA golf content on ABC Media’s platforms, XYZ sportsbook can use the insights generated from the Convertr data match to market their PGA golf products and offers more effectively to this user, in order to drive wagering outcomes. ABC media can then work with the sportsbook on custom marketing campaigns designed to re-activate or re-engage the XYZ sportsbook user.
“What differentiates Convertr from other data matching platforms is that it is designed to provide mutual benefit for both parties engaged in a strategic partnership,” said Adam Fiske, Cipher Sports Technology Group Chief Executive. “No other platform can provide this level of understanding of customer behavior and interests, providing valuable insights to both parties, while also meeting the strictest data protection and privacy standards.”
Possession of the ISO/IEC 27001 information security management certification is evidence of Convertr’s strong commitment to information security across all processes and systems. This global certification provides assurances to clients of its ability to maintain the security of sensitive information and meet strict data compliance requirements.
As the market becomes more crowded, both new and existing players will need to find ways to better understand their customers, create more personalized marketing campaigns, and improve the customer experience – all of which can be achieved by partnering with Convertr.

Kambi Group plc, the home of premium sports betting solutions, has agreed a long-term, omni-channel sportsbook partnership with Latin American operator RedCap, further strengthening Kambi’s position as the sportsbook provider of choice in the region.
Under the terms of the agreement, RedCap’s Betpro and Starplay brands will integrate Kambi’s high-performance Turnkey Sportsbook into its proprietary player account management (PAM) platform, enabling a seamless sports betting experience. The operator will replace its current supplier with Kambi’s powerful end-to-end sports betting solution, trusted by market leaders across Latin America and beyond.

Operating under a multi-brand strategy led by its flagship Betpro brand, the operator aims to leverage the strengths of Kambi’s sportsbook with its in-house technical capability and experienced industry leadership team to achieve success in each market.
Werner Becher, CEO of Kambi, said: “This partnership marks an important next step in Kambi’s Latin American growth strategy. By selecting Kambi to replace their existing provider, RedCap has shown clear confidence in our market-leading technology and ability to support scalable growth. We are excited to help them bring best-in-class sports betting experiences to players across the region.”
Oscar Henao, CEO of RedCap, added: “We are thrilled to join forces with Kambi.

Chicago City Council Members Pushing to Legalize Video Gambling

Chicago City Council members are reviving plans to legalize video gambling in the city, introducing two ordinances that could bring hundreds of terminals to O’Hare and Midway airports and allow machines citywide for the first time.
One ordinance, introduced by Alderman Gilbert Villegas (36th), targets the city’s airports, where he sees both political feasibility and high revenue potential.
“The General Assembly has provided this opportunity through the casino bill. Yet, we’re not taking advantage of capturing dollars from one of the busiest airports in the country,” Villegas said.
“People are there, in some cases, one or two hours before. If their flight is delayed or they’re making a connection and there is a delay, there’s an opportunity to capture an audience that may not even be going to the city.”
Villegas’ proposal includes a $10,000 license fee per location, plus $500 per terminal. A separate terminal license would cost $1000, with an additional $500 per unit. If 400 machines each generated $800 daily, Villegas estimates annual revenue could reach $116.8 million, with the city taking a share through licensing and taxes.
Alderman Anthony Beale (9th) is pushing for a broader citywide expansion. His ordinance would legalize video gambling throughout Chicago, including in neighborhood bars and restaurants.
“We need to do it citywide and at the airports. We need the revenue and this administration has not shown a willingness to find new revenue that’s not gonna hit the taxpayers in every household,” Beale said.
Beale’s ordinance proposes a $500 license fee per location and a $1000-per-terminal charge for both the site and the machine itself. He has criticized the administration for dismissing the potential benefits, arguing that the current tax formula could be renegotiated with state lawmakers.
“That’s because they haven’t shown the willingness to go down to Springfield and change the formula. I’m hoping that submitting these ordinances will finally convince them to send a team down there,” he said.
