Ballers Sportsbook is a Puerto Rican sports betting operator that was established in 2022. It will take bets placed at both a local and international level, and aims to go live in the second quarter of 2023.

The partnership will give Ballers Sportsbook access to Sportradar’s betting portfolio and betting options, which include parlays, in-game wagering, teasers, futures and player props.

Daniel de Ontanon, Founder, Ballers Sportsbook, said: "As we prepare to launch our unique online sports betting offering and experience throughout Puerto Rico in the next few months, we are tremendously pleased and excited to count one of the world's most prestigious sports-betting and gaming platform providers as our partners.

"We are proud to be the local sportsbook operator and look forward to offering a unique and tailored experience to our players, full of great content and a true local flavor."

Sports betting in Puerto Rico was officially legalised on July 29 2019, but regulated sports betting was only launched last year. Ballers Sportsbook will be one of the first online sports betting providers to open on the island.

Sportradar is a sports technology company that specialises in collecting and analysing sports data for bookmakers. Its Orako sportsbook solution was announced in June 2022.

“We are pleased to power Ballers Sportsbook through our Orako solution and use the breadth of Sportradar's technical capabilities to cover the full scale of the sports betting spectrum."
