In another step marking the company's expansion into the United States market, Nebraska
gaming authority grants Genius Sports initial approval to support sportsbook partners statewide.
With the addition of Nebraska, Genius Sports now holds 42 licenses, or equivalent, in North America across US states, territories, tribes, and Canada, providing its award-winning products and services to a wide array of clients operating within these jurisdictions.
Retail-only sports betting was officially legalized in Nebraska in May 2021, with the first retail sportsbooks going live in June 2023.
“We are honored that the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission has awarded Genius Sports its provisional gaming license to enable sportsbooks to access our full suite of NFL products and media solutions ahead of the new NFL season,” said Mark Locke, CEO of Genius Sports.
“As an increasing number of U.S. states legalize sports betting, Genius Sports welcomes the opportunity to work with states like Nebraska, on providing sports fans with official sports data-powered solutions to power their sportsbooks.”
