How Betradar Got Started

Nowadays Betradar is a company that not only develops sports betting solutions but collects the data about the rigged matches and other fraud schemes, controls the sports & eSports betting integrity, and cooperates with the various sports associations (NBA, FIFA, NASCAR, NFL, IIHF etc.).

However, this was not always the case. Betradar’s story began with the development of High Accuracy Crawling technology in 2000. The company’s first strategic partner became ISE (International Sportinformation Europe). The agreement was signed a year after the company went online. Then in 2003, the company has launched a platform for schedules and results.

From the very start, Betradar focused on increasing the number of the strategic partners and in 2004 the company already had 18 state lottery contracts under its belt.

In 2006 when the number of Betradar’s customers exceeded 200 operators and the company has launched a Betradar.tv project with license rights for the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga Betradar has reached the top in the sports betting industry and doesn’t seem to lower the standards anytime soon.


Owner, Revenue & Net Worth

The founders of Sportradar AG (plus all the related brands and subsidiaries) are Tore Steinkjer and Petter Fornæss. The current Betradar’s CEO is Carsten Koerl. James Watson is a Product Owner and a Head of eSports.

Betradar is a privately held company and isn’t listed on any stock market. However, since the company became one of the trusted leaders in sports betting & achieved a dominant position in the market its revenue remained persistently high — more than €130 mln.
