SIS eSports leverages the current Genius integrations architecture that is already established between our platforms and is hosted within our Inplay Manager product. Upon booking, we will provide events, markets, and results in the same manner as you currently receive other Inplay sports, requiring some minor integration work to fully capitalize on this new and compelling opportunity.
We have established an exclusive partnership with SIS (Sports Information Services) concerning their competitive gaming service for our Odds and Streaming products. You have the option to select either both services or solely the data/streaming service from us. SIS Competitive Gaming specializes in eSports, specifically covering FIFA and NBA 2K.
Kindly take note that on Production, the following are the relevant competition IDs for these services:
"id": 18784, "name": "eSoccer H2H GG League Mixed"
"id": 18783, "name": "eBasketball H2H GG League Mixed"
We can provide events via eSports for you to map to the specific sports, or we can provide them to you as ‘Football’ or ‘Basketball’ sport ID's as opposed to eSports ID’s. Then the events should be displayed within football/basketball on the customer-facing sites and listed as e-football/e-basketball respectively. For Match State, SIS eSports utilizes the MultiSport match state contract, which is elaborated here: Multi Sport V2 (refer to SIS to locate the Football and Basketball entries).
Our market offering for SIS eSports can be found from here:
One of the files contains generic market information, including names and IDs, while the other file offers supplementary notes on the market and selection margins.
As a customer you would need to set up two different designated templates for each of the sports - one for NBA2K and one for EA Sports FC. Please also note that:
It is expected that customers map the games under basketball and football as sports to maximise the visibility of the content although you would be receiving events from us and booking those through eSports category
We recommend you ensure all the competitions from SIS autobooked
SIS streaming fixtures would be autobooked for you 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
Early Pricing
The SIS eSports PreMatch prices are being sent via our InPlay product as well. This would utilize the same templates and be delivered via InPlay only 30 minutes before scheduled start time, as opposed to when the fixture starts.
How do I get these early prices?
Templates should be set up with fixture and market creation ahead of the start time and with trading active set to "as soon as possible" so that pricing starts as soon as prices are available
How many fixtures are available with early pricing?
All fixtures that start in the window between 9am - 5pm (UK time) will be priced early
This includes approximately 6 games of EA Sports FC and 3 games of NBA2K running concurrently
We plan to transition to a 24/7 schedule gradually. The specific date for this expansion has not been determined yet
How will customers know which fixtures?
Customers will see the offer under Sports or eSports on the main page via Inplay
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 be the first index
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.
