International Approach
Genius has betting, media, and technology relationships across the globe.
In the second quarter, it developed free-to-play games for FIFA’s new FIFA+ streaming platform, struck a partnership with Brazilian sportsbook Betsul, and secured a data and broadcast augmentation deal with Portuguese soccer club S.L. Benfica.
The U.S., where Genius works with the NFL, MLB, NCAA, and the PGA Tour, remains a central focus. U.S. revenue nearly quadrupled in Q2 from the previous year.
Genius also has partnerships with the Premier League, Euroleague Basketball, Liga MX, the CFL, and FIBA.
