Company profile

Company overview. Genius Sports UK Ltd. (registered name: GENIUS SPORTS UK LIMITED) is a UK private limited company incorporated on 31 August 2000 (originally as Betgenius Limited, renamed in June 2022), registered at 27 Soho Square, London. It is the UK operating subsidiary of Genius Sports Limited, the Guernsey-incorporated parent listed on the NYSE under ticker GENI. The group reports roughly 2,000–2,700 employees, FY2025 revenue of about $669M, and a market cap around $1–2B; the UK entity itself filed ~246 employees and ~£283M turnover for FY2024.

Products / services. Genius Sports is a sports data and technology company that supplies the sports-betting, sports-media, and sports-rights-holder ecosystem. Its three main product lines are: (1) Betting Technology, Content and Services — official live data feeds, trading/risk-management services, outsourced bookmaking, and low-latency live streaming products (e.g., LiveData, LiveTrading, Genius Trading Services, BetVision, In-Play MultiBet); (2) Media Technology, Content and Services — data-driven performance marketing, fan-engagement tools and free-to-play games for sportsbooks and brands; and (3) Sports Technology and Services — data-capture and player-tracking software for leagues and federations, often exchanged for exclusive official data and streaming rights (NFL, English Premier League, NCAA, FIBA, NASCAR, among others).

Patent-litigation posture. Genius Sports UK Ltd. is an operating company appearing only as a defendant in our tracked database: 1 case, 0 plaintiff appearances. The case is SportsCastr Inc. v. Genius Sports Ltd. et al., filed 5 October 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (Marshall Division), where the UK entity is named alongside several Genius affiliates and Maven holding companies. The posture is a large operating company defending against patent infringement claims, in a plaintiff-friendly venue.

Notable case context. SportsCastr Inc. (d/b/a PANDA Interactive), a sports-tech competitor, alleges that Genius' streaming and in-play betting products infringe four patents covering scalable low-latency live video delivery with synchronized event/betting data. In February 2025, SportsCastr amended to add federal and Texas antitrust claims; Genius' 20-F states the patent trial was listed for April 2026 and that the company is defending all claims. No judgment or settlement has been reported, and no patent-assertion-entity characteristics apply to Genius, which actively sells the accused products.
