WHAT IT IS & HOW IT WORKS

What is Content Arena?

Content Arena is a global sports rights marketplace platform, providing dedicated services for both audiovisual betting and general sports media content.

For audiovisual betting content, Content Arena enables direct sales, smart online contracting, video integration and signal delivery services between rightsholders and sports betting (sportsbook) operators.

The content is provided by rightsholders, typically being sports governing bodies such as federations, leagues and event hosts as well as intermediaries such as content aggregators or agencies.

Sports betting operators can acquire such content customized to be best suitable for market standard exploitation and beyond, with seamless signal delivery and integration being provided.

What are the benefits?

For rightsholders:
Direct access – opportunity to sell to sports betting operators, without any content aggregating and packaging intermediary.

What type of content is available via Content Arena?

Content Arena provides rights to audiovisual exploitation content to sporting events across the globe, as listed and offered by its registered rightsholder partners.

The core focus is on audiovisual content for live exploitation, as best suited for sports betting, with additional features allowing for means of exploitation beyond the current market standard.

In which territories is the content available?

Content Arena is a global service.

The marketplace itself has no territorial restrictions. The available content will be exploitable in territories as listed and offered by the respective rightsholder, as well as where and to the extent that such exploitation is legally compliant.

How is the content managed, made accessible and delivered?

Rightsholders list their offered content, allowing fully integrated sports betting operators to easily search, find, select and purchase matches. As soon as the purchase process has been concluded, Content Arena automatically triggers signal delivery and integration, as well as the payment administration.

Rightsholders provide live and low-latency video feeds to the content selected and purchased, for Content Arena to coordinate and manage signal deliver to betting operators, as required for best possible exploitation.

How are the events priced, is there any flexibility and will pricing change over time?

The pricing per match and territory (country/region) is set by Content Arena, based on a unique, bench-marking intelligence and continuous market (re-)assessments.

Pricing of the listed content is intended to be adaptive (i.e. may change as time progresses and prior to a purchase being concluded), where suitable and accounting for specific market trends and development, as wells as the needs of both buyers and sellers, with purchasing flexibility consistently being provided.

Discounts on high volume purchase with regards to territories, brands, full leagues and seasons or simply no. of matches may be granted.

Once a match is purchased, the listed price (in the stated currency) is secured – potentially with applicable discounts – for the buyer.
