We have established an exclusive partnership with SIS (Sports Information Services) concerning their competitive e-gaming service for our Odds and Streaming products.
Content
SIS Competitive Gaming specializes in eSports, specifically covering EA FC and NBA 2K match-ups. SIS eSports leverages the current Genius integration architecture that is already established between Genius Sports and our customers, and hosted within our InPlay Manager product. We will provide all relevant updategram types in the exact same way as you would currently receive them for other InPlay sports, which leads to requiring only some minor integration changes to be prepared to fully capitalize on this new and compelling opportunity.
You will be able to choose either to have a fully managed trading service or just the data/streaming offering.
Sports
For both competitions, events will be created up to 24H in advance, making them available for booking or using any of the programmatically booking tools for the booking of content.
EA FC
Competition name: "eSoccer H2H GG League Mixed"
Competition ID: 18784
Type of Play: EA FC matches consist of two halves of 4 minutes
NBA 2K
Competition name: "eBasketball H2H GG League Mixed"
Competition ID: 18783
Type of Play: NBA 2K consists of 4 quarters of 5 minutes
Feed description and integration details
Once booked, the events will be created on your platform as usual: via the delivery of Fixture, Market, Result and Match State messages, as described for the Integration Service documentation.

You would need to set up two different designated templates for each of the competitions - one for NBA2K and one for EA Sports FC. Please also note that:
It is expected that customers map the games under regular Inplay Basketball and Football as sports to maximize the visibility of the content, although you would be booking the SIS events through the eSports category on the product itself
We recommend you ensure all the competitions from SIS are auto-booked
Early Pricing
We are also offering early pricing for the SIS eSports matches. This is done through the InPlay service and requires no separate Pre-match integration.
The prices are being sent via our InPlay product which uses the same templates and markets and is delivered via InPlay.
How do I get early prices?
Competition Templates should be set up with Fixture and Market creation set ahead of the start time and with “Trading Active” set to "As soon as possible" - so that pricing starts immediately once the prices are available.
How many fixtures are there with early pricing?
All fixtures starting in the window between 9am - 5pm (UK time) will have early pricing.
This includes approximately 6 concurrent games of EA Sports FC and 3 games of NBA2K
We are planning to transition to a 24/7 schedule gradually with the specific date for this expansion not determined yet
There is no direct indicator of the individual fixtures supported for early pricing outside of the start time window stated earlier
How early will the pricing be?
Games in the time-frame will be available with prematch approximately 30 minutes before kick off
Are all the markets supported from InPlay?
The markets that are supported via InPlay will also be supported in early pricing. Index markets will have the first/initial index.
Match State
SIS eSports content utilizes the already familiar MultiSportV2 match state contract, which is explained in greater detail here: Multi Sport V2
Optional Sport Mapping
We are able to provide and send out the SIS eSports events either under eSports or the respective sports (Football for EA FC and Basketball for NBA 2K).
This is done by changing the Sport property (both the Sport ID and the Name) within the Integration Service’s Fixture message from eSports to the respective Sport. No such changes are made anywhere else in the data feed and this change would only apply to the Fixture messages.

Regular Fixture message would look like this: We are able to send out the event as below: |
This should ease the mapping in order to display the SIS eSports events under their respective sports, which has proven to drive and increase revenue and fan engagement.
Please let us know should you wish to receive the events under Football and Basketball sports.
Streaming
SIS eSports streaming service will be auto-booked for the event once the trading and data are booked. Therefore you will not find an option to manually book the streaming game in the data services console
SIS eSports streaming content is delivered in the same way as any other streaming content
Once you are prepared to go live, we will also require an email address to which SIS can send notifications regarding schedule changes or fixture deletions.
