I am a betting operator new to esports. What is the easiest way to start making revenue from esports?

When you’re new to esports, you may be unsure of where to start, what game titles to add, and what markets will make you stand out. With Bayes Live Odds, one integration gives you access to all of the top esports content, while an array of odds providers do all of the heavy lifting for you. Don’t worry if you don’t have a team of esports traders, or an expansive network of engineers. Bringing a partner on board ensures you smoothly navigate the dynamic esports industry and deliver 100% uptime across all tournaments, titles, and markets. Reach out to us today to talk about the options available and find the exact services you need to be able to start your journey in esports.

What are the benefits of having multiple odds providers to choose from?

Having access to multiple providers removes the risk of your betting service going down. If one odds provider cannot deliver on a tournament, then you can switch to another in the customizable odds feed.

Mixing and matching providers also ensures you have the most optimal margins, whether you want full control over your margins or leave that to the expertise of the partners. We provide granular and unbiased measurements of the uptime of each provider so you can make the most informed decisions and find the perfect fit for your business.

What if I want a full turnkey esports betting solution built on official data?

Bayes Esports has created a partnership program of trustful B2B partners using official data. These select operators are building their odds feeds based on our non-delayed and granular data, which allows them to provide a level of quality that other providers cannot match. While each B2B partner has a different approach to modeling or trading, the foundations they’ve built their services on are similar and have official data at their core. Engaging with one of those partners will enable you to benefit from official data without requiring your own team of traders.

Do I need to integrate separately for all the offered titles/providers?

No, because once you complete the integration, you get access to all the content and providers available on our marketplace. When we add new game titles, tournaments, markets or partner with more providers, you get access to them too. No extra integration work needed.

What titles are covered by the Bayes Live Odds platform?

We offer coverage of all leading game titles, including CS2, Dota 2, LoL, Valorant, Rocket League, as well popular eLeagues like FIFA.

What happens when there are technical issues?

We offer a 24/7 support team and on-call system for our engineers and esports experts to resolve any technical issues and assist with the integration process. Once you go live, our operators are overseeing every live data match to ensure all runs smoothly.

What esports games and tournaments will I get the official data for?

Bayes Esports has the leading content calendar for CS2 and Dota 2 tournaments, two of the most popular esports games. Through partnerships with leading tournament organizers like ESL FACEIT Group, BLAST Premier, and others, you can deliver fantasy games all year round.

In order for fantasy platforms to have an almost complete esports package, we also provide unofficial data for League of Legends upon request. This ensures businesses can capitalize on the benefits of an official data offering, while not leaving any potential revenue on the table.

I am new to esports and want to test the waters. Isn’t official data too much of a commitment for me?

Unofficial data might look appealing, especially to those just starting off in the esports industry. But it also limits the options available to you to build an interesting and engaging esports product. If you are looking to explore esports as a possible avenue for your platform, offering sub-par services built on unofficial data will leave both your customers and yourself dissatisfied with the results.
Committing to official data allows you to explore esports free of unnecessary risks and provides you with the ability to scale your services depending on the needs of your customers.

I don’t make my own odds, but I still want to leverage the power of official data. What can I do?

Bayes Esports has created a partnership program of trustful B2B partners using official data. All of them are building their odds feeds based on our non-delayed and granular data, which allows them to provide a level of quality that other providers cannot match. While all of our B2B partners have a different approach to modeling or trading, the foundations they’ve built their services on are similar and have official data at their core. Engaging with one of those partners will enable you to benefit from official data without requiring your own team of traders.

What type of stats does Bayes Fantasy Stats cover?

Bayes Fantasy Stats cover pre-match, live, and post-match data and analytics. This will empower you to show match statistics alongside the live broadcast to create an immersive fantasy experience.

How will official live data improve my product?

There are many benefits to using official live data. First and foremost, using an odds feed built on official undelayed data gives sportsbooks an edge over the rest of the market. To offer correct odds, traders need to know what is happening in-game as soon as possible, or else they are trading blind.

On top of the odds built on official data, bookmakers can use widgets and statistics to let customers make an informed decision and create engagement. Thanks to official data, bookmakers can visualize data points that are not accessible from the public stream, such as more detailed individual players stats, that cannot be provided by scraped data.

Why is official data important in fantasy gaming?

In esports, there are so many data points that cannot be collected by simply watching the game. With official data, you get access to the most reliable, accurate, and granular data. It not only enhances the platform's credibility but it also allows you to build a more engaging and immersive experience. Provide updates to in-game events at the same time as the live broadcast or automatically adjust the fixtures when they are changed. This will lead to an increase in the accuracy of your match data, and ensure your players' satisfaction, resulting in fewer refunds. An ideal win-win scenario.

What risks am I exposed to when partnering with an unofficial data provider?

Besides the higher risk of insider betting occurring on your platform, you are also exposed to the possibility of legal action being taken against your data provider.
In many cases, the act of scraping data violates the terms of service of the broadcasted game’s platform or infringes on the copyright of the publisher or tournament organizer especially when the match recordings are shared. This results in the data feed you rely on cutting out for an extended period of time, and therefore reflecting negatively on your image while having a detrimental impact on the overall sustainability of the esports industry.

What happens when there are technical issues?

We offer 24/7 assistance through our support and engineering teams trained to resolve any technical issues and assist with your integration process. Once you go live, our operators oversee all live matches and ensure all runs smoothly.

What disadvantages am I faced with as a bookmaker when using unofficial data?

Unofficial data can be collected from the public stream, which has a delay of approximately 40-60s. This means that any live odds built on unofficial data will be massively delayed compared to the rest of the sports betting market. That leaves you with two options: You either close the markets and lose most of the live betting volumes, or you keep markets open and expose yourself to sharp punters coming from sportsbooks with official and undelayed data. You also risk wrong bets being made from scraped data and subsequent refund claims by customers or even complaints from customers to the regulator.
