Genius Sports
Genius Sports owns the capture, modeling, pricing, and delivery technology for its sportsbook data and odds products. Official content is supplied under licensed league and federation rights rather than owned as a blanket category.
Page updated
Genius Sports Limited is the Guernsey-incorporated, NYSE-listed holding company behind the Genius Sports brand. Separate operating subsidiaries include Genius Sports UK Limited and Genius Sports Media Inc., so the public parent is not the universal contracting entity for every data, media, or managed-trading order.

Contract and supplier
- Contracting and supplying entitiesContract specific
- The order must name the Genius Sports company that grants data rights, supplies the feed, hosts the service, supports incidents, processes customer data, and invoices the customer. Genius Sports Limited is the public holding company, not a universal seller.
- Rights and redistributionContract specific

Implementation

Operating responsibilities

Operations and service

Commercial terms

- Availability follows each rights agreement and customer schedule by competition, territory, channel, customer type, and use. Official status cannot be generalized across the full catalog.

Strengths

What to verify in procurement
- ! Confirm rights per competition, territory, channel, and use. The NFL agreement does not cover any other league.
- ! Coverage, uptime, and performance figures require buyer-side testing.
