Abios, a Kambi Group subsidiary, has partnered with GRID, an in-game data solution provider.
Abios, a subsidiary of the Malta-based Kambi Group, has entered into a strategic data partnership with GRID, an in-game data solution provider. The collaboration aims to integrate real-time, high-fidelity data into Abios’s existing esports odds feeds and widgets. While the financial terms of the agreement remain undisclosed, the partnership is designed to enhance the quality and reliability of live betting markets for Abios and its network of commercial partners.
The scope of the agreement focuses on tier-one tournament data for three major esports titles: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valorant, and Dota 2. By leveraging GRID’s direct access to official data from over 90 rights holders—including major industry players like Riot Games, Krafton, PGL, and WePlay—Abios intends to improve market uptime and increase the level of automation within its odds modeling systems.
This partnership highlights the ongoing professionalization of the esports betting sector, where access to official, real-time data is increasingly critical for maintaining market integrity and operational efficiency. GRID currently supports a broad ecosystem of over 350 commercial clients, providing data solutions that extend beyond betting to include media, talent scouting, and player coaching. This integration represents a significant step in scaling the technical capabilities of Abios’s betting products through the use of standardized, high-quality data streams.
