Oddschecker ties up WhoScored.com acquisition
CEO Toby Bentall calls WhoScored.com a “fantastic product and brand which draws a strong audience in key target territories”
Oddschecker Global Media has acquired UK-focused live scores football site WhoScored.com for an undisclosed sum.
The brand was founded in 2008 and provides insight and analysis of football data – including live scores, statistics and player ratings – across 500 leagues, 15,000 teams and 250,000 players.
WhoScored.com’s proprietary algorithm generates player ratings based on more than 200 data points collected during real-time matches.
The site already serves as an affiliate for operators including bet365.

Oddschecker Global Media CEO Toby Bentall said: “I am delighted to welcome the WhoScored team to Oddschecker Global Media.

“The acquisition will enhance our strong product offering while the integration will allow WhoScored to leverage our core strengths, thereby delivering growth to both businesses,” he added.
Oddschecker this month launched a new bet stimulation website aimed at US bettors called Statschecker.
WhoScored.com CEO Cristiano Acconci said: “I am thrilled that WhoScored will be joining Oddschecker.
“Their global presence, innovative technology and extensive commercial experience makes them the perfect partner to help accelerate WhoScored’s growth.
“The team looks forward to developing the product further while leveraging the talent of our new colleagues,” he added.
