The combined announcement will expand the capabilities of BetQL, QLGG’s sports betting analytics platform, for casual bettors and will accelerate the launch of BetQL’s player prop and in-game predictions and more sports like International pro soccer, tennis, golf and esports.

The round was led by Tim and Todd McSweeney, with participation by Boston Seed Capital, Karlani Capital, Subversive Capital, Rob Seaver and Jere Doyle. QL Gaming, formerly known as RotoQL, has now raised $8.3m from investors that have also included the late David Stern, former commissioner of the NBA, John Kosner, Stern’s former partner at Micromanagement Ventures, and former William Hill chief Ralph Topping.

“Our thesis is betting properties with the best data and analytics will win and our acquisition of Accuscore vastly increases our IP, grows our marketplace position and puts us in a very strong place as the sports world returns to active play in the near future,” said Justin Park, QL Gaming CEO. “Our new and long-term investors are very bullish on the casual gaming and sports betting market and we are now poised to emerge stronger.”

"We are thrilled to join QL Gaming,” Accuscore CEO Tuomas Kanervala added. “Their expertise around customer facing sports data products is unrivaled and will help both our B2C and B2B businesses. The latter will serve as the foundation for soon to be launched BetQL B2B that will help sportsbook operators and media companies acquire and retain bettors.”
