NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Simplebet, an innovator in global sports betting technology, announced its launch into the US sports betting space. Simplebet is a B2B product development company using machine learning and automation to enable every moment of every sporting event to become a betting opportunity.

This new category of in-play betting following our heavy investment in the requisite automation and machine-learning technology sets Simplebet and our future partners up for success and growth."
In conjunction with the announcements of its first products, Simplebet has raised more than $35M to date, closing a series B round of $11M in March. Current investors include: MLB's San Francisco Giants Baseball Club, David Blitzer (Co-Owner & Co-Managing Partner, Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Devils & Crystal Palace FC), Jeff Mallett (Founding COO & President, Yahoo; Principal Partner, San Francisco Giants & Co-Owner/Executive Chairman, Vancouver Whitecaps FC), Steve Ellman (Former Owner/Chairman, Phoenix Coyotes), David Levy (Former, AT&T/Warner Media), Howard Schultz (Chairman Emeritus, Starbucks), Gary Barber (Chairman and CEO, Spyglass; Former Chairman & CEO, MGM Studios), Michael Weinberger (Milwaukee Bucks Investor; Former Partner, York Capital Management), Andre Agassi, Jordan Levy (Managing Partner, Softbank Capital NY), Sara Slane (Former SVP Public Affairs, American Gaming Association), George Rover (Former Deputy Director, Division of Gaming Enforcement, New Jersey), and David Baron (Global Partner, Head of Tech, Rothschild & Co), among others.
