EveryMatrix acquires FSB Technology in all-cash deal

Through this agreement, customers will further benefit from EveryMatrix’s superior modular products.

Press release.- EveryMatrix has acquired FSB Technology, a leading global full turnkey and specialist sportsbook technology provider in an all-cash deal. The acquisition will further bolster OddsMatrix, EveryMatrix’s tier-1 sportsbook platform and odds feeds division, generating immediate additional revenues, and cross-company synergies and firmly establishing a presence in the UK, Ireland, and Africa where FSB has developed strong market share.

Founded in 2007 by Sam Lawrence and David McDowell, FSB is a leading B2B sportsbook technology supplier based in London, offering full end-to-end turnkey solutions including Player Account Management (PAM), sports betting, and casino platform solutions.

EveryMatrix will incorporate key FSB features into its offering, including what has been recognized as one of the strongest horse racing products among sportsbook providers.

Customers will further benefit from EveryMatrix’s superior modular products including casino, games and aggregation, payments, player account management, managed services or affiliate management, and data tracking.

Once migrated to OddsMatrix, they will gain access to proven, tier-1 sportsbook and odds feed products, as well as EveryMatrix’s technology, development, and resource pipeline, decades of industry expertise within its 1,000-employee-strong workforce across 13 locations worldwide, and a global network of partners.

OddsMatrix has gone from strength to strength launching several large-scale digital projects for tier-1 brands across Europe including Bet-at-home and the Hungarian national lottery company’s (SZRT) online brand TippmixPro.

OddsMatrix achieved its best year in 2023, setting record growth, profitability and a record number of bets for tier-1 customers. It experienced a 75 per cent Year-on-Year (YoY) rise in total bets, skyrocketing profitability up 90 per cent while also driving live events up by a third (31 per cent) to more than 1.8 million events for the year. With the FSB deal, this strong growth is set to continue.
