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sportsbook environment, it’s not just about trading odds — it’s about defending your business against bad actors and outdated systems.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.”
