What Data Sports Group does

Data Sports Group (legal entity: DSG Sports Analytics GmbH) is a Berlin-based sports data technology company founded in 2015 that delivers real-time and historical sports data through an API-first platform. Its core product is a REST sports data API covering 80+ sports and 5,000+ competitions, with deep catalog depth in soccer (1,740 competitions), tennis (743), cycling (242), basketball (168), cricket (109), and a separate eSports portfolio spanning FIFA, League of Legends, Counter Strike 2, Dota 2, PUBG, Overwatch, and other titles. Distribution is delivered via JSON/XML API endpoints, embeddable widget solutions (livescores, odds, news, Olympics medals table, live draw), and packaged data SKUs (FIFA World Cup 2026, Winter Olympics 2026 Cortina, Football Top 50 Pack, US Sports Pack, Olympics Pack), as well as showcase microsites (DSG Olympics, Global Sports Archive, DSG Widgets).

The company's customer base spans five primary verticals — Betting & Gaming Platforms, Media & Publishing, Fantasy Sports, eSports, and SportsTech — and includes tier-1 operators such as bet365, Entain, Amazon Alexa, 365scores, and wscSports. Revenue is generated through subscription/recurring API licensing, widget syndication, and custom enterprise data packages priced on a quote basis with multi-year contract terms; pricing is not publicly disclosed but a self-serve free trial and open developer documentation support the lower end of the funnel. Data quality is positioned as a differentiator, with a Data Integrity System operated by experienced sports data analysts delivering advanced filtering and review over the production pipeline. The company is GDPR-compliant and managed by Sowbhagya Dsouza and Daniel Groll per the legal imprint.

In June 2025, Genius Sports announced the acquisition of Data Sports Group, ending the company's status as an independent private vendor and integrating it into a publicly listed sports data conglomerate. As of the acquisition date the operating status reflects absorbed/transitioned operations under Genius Sports rather than standalone growth.
