June 15, 2025 – LSports announces the launch of DEFEND, a revolutionary proactive risk intelligence tool designed to help sportsbooks stay ahead of modern threats and dynamic markets. DEFEND provides real-time insights, enabling sportsbooks to act faster and more efficiently than ever before.

In today’s sportsbook environment, it’s not just about trading odds — it’s about defending your business against bad actors and outdated systems. As the betting landscape evolves, sportsbooks need tools that allow them to understand risk at speed and scale, taking action before damage is done.

For years, risk teams have been stuck in a reactive loop and left investigating after the fact. Whether it’s a suspicious payout or unusual betting patterns, the process always involves more reviews and spreadsheets. But markets are moving faster than legacy tools can adapt. The sheer volume of data is overwhelming, and syndicates are operating under the radar.

LSports’ DEFEND changes the game by breaking this cycle. By providing real-time alerts, it surfaces risk signals as they happen, connecting the dots instantly, and allowing teams to intervene before problems escalate.

“DEFEND isn’t just a tool, it’s a shift in mindset,” says Dotan Lazar, CEO of LSports. “It gives sportsbooks the visibility, agility, and intelligence to stay ahead of threats and maintain a profitable, future-ready operation.”

Sportsbooks can now track user behavior, line movement, and market dynamics with precision, filtering out irrelevant data and providing actionable insights. The intelligent alerting engine detects patterns that manual reviews miss, such as behavioral spikes and coordinated bets, profiling users based on behavior and performance. This clarity allows sportsbooks to make informed decisions in real time, adjusting odds, pausing markets, or blocking exposure to mitigate risk.

“DEFEND seamlessly integrates into any sportsbook’s workflow, whether as a central risk hub or via API,” says Daniel Netzer, Chief Product & Technology Officer at LSports. “With full access controls and enterprise-grade security, DEFEND ensures sportsbooks maintain control over their data and operations.”

June 2025 — Global sports betting data consumption surged by 32% year-over-year in Q1 2025, with table tennis rising to become the second most consumed sport globally, overtaking both basketball and tennis, according to LSports Quarterly Data Report.  

Another unexpected finding was the rise of lower-tier European football leagues to rank among the top 10 most popular, signalling a trend sportsbooks should monitor closely, while esports continued its remarkable ascent with a 75% increase in popularity. 

LSports’ newly launched Quarterly Data Report, analyses consumption patterns across a network of over 450 sportsbooks worldwide, and is designed for sportsbook executives, trading teams, and product strategists. The report provides data-driven insights into shifting bettor behaviour and fast-emerging opportunities in the sportsbook sector in 2025. 

Additional highlights from the report include:

In a market where odds change by the second, manual margin control just can’t keep up. If you’re still calculating margins by hand or adjusting them market by market, it’s time for an upgrade.

That’s why we built Auto Competitive Margin — a new feature, now available in TRADE360, designed to help you stay competitive, save time, and protect your bottom line with flexible, automated control.

A Better Way to Stay Competitive

When players shop for odds, they go where the value is. If your sportsbook consistently offers better odds on key markets, you’ll attract more traffic, keep users engaged, and increase betting volume.

With Auto Competitive Margin, you can do exactly that—automatically. It lets you set a fixed margin adjustment that undercuts the average provider margin, helping you stay competitive without having to tweak settings manually every time the market shifts.

Whether you’re targeting high-interest matches, boosting visibility in niche leagues, or running a short-term promotion, Auto Competitive Margin gives you a strategic lever to stand out.

What You Can Do With Auto Competitive Margin

Auto Competitive Margin is built to help you scale smarter and compete more confidently.

You can easily apply a fixed margin adjustment—like a small negative offset—that improves your odds across entire markets. For example, if you want to draw attention to a specific football match or league, one setting ensures your sportsbook consistently shows more attractive odds compared to others.

To keep things under control, you can also set minimum and maximum margin limits. This means you can stay aggressive in key markets while still protecting profitability, even in more volatile or lower-liquidity scenarios.

And with margin transparency built into your fixture logs, you’ll always have a clear view of what’s been applied—no surprises, and no need to second-guess your setup.

Ready to Compete Smarter?

Auto Competitive Margin gives you the speed, control, and transparency you need to optimize your margins at scale — without sacrificing simplicity. It’s one more step in helping you stay sharp in a fast-moving market.
