LONDON & MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stats Perform, the SportsTech leader in data and AI technology, has extended its multi-year, exclusive official betting data and streaming partnership with Australia’s rapidly growing Hungry Jack’s National Basketball League (NBL).

Alex Rice, Stats Perform Chief Rights Officer, commented: “Few global basketball leagues can rival the NBL’s atmosphere, quality and entertainment. We’re honoured to have been trusted to safely deliver high quality NBL betting experiences to their growing global audience for a number of years. In that time we’ve seen the competition and our partnership go from strength to strength, and we’re excited to continue working together to drive future growth.”
