Kambi Rebrands to Center AI and Network Scale as Bet Builders Drive Margin Gains
TL;DR — Kambi unveiled a rebrand built on “Powerful Network. Proven Edge.” highlighting its network of over 70 partners across 100+ markets handling €17bn turnover and 1.5 billion bets yearly. Its AI platform delivered an 18% trading margin at the 2026 World Cup where bet builders rose to 22% of live bets from 3% in 2022. The move unifies AI tools from Tzeract, Shape Games and Abios.
SCCG Take — Network scale is producing concrete margin gains as bet builders mature. Operators must determine if these data loops provide durable edges before AI-driven product expansion raises complexity further.
Kambi has launched a new brand identity and strategic positioning centred on AI and data. The B2B sportsbook provider seeks to position itself for the next phase of sports betting with the tagline “Powerful Network. Proven Edge.”
The positioning rests on a network of over 70 partners across more than 100 regulated markets. Kambi processes around €17bn in annual turnover and 1.5 billion bets, according to reporting by SBC News. This activity creates a feedback loop that refines pricing, risk management and product innovation.
2026 World Cup Illustrates Bet Builder Expansion
Kambi highlighted the 2026 World Cup as evidence of its advantage. Its AI platform traded the full tournament and produced an 18% operator trading margin. Bet builders accounted for 22% of live bets during the event, compared with 3% in 2022.
Industry-wide adoption has followed. Flutter Entertainment brands Sky Bet and Paddy Power, along with bet365, have upgraded their bet builder offerings. Prediction markets platforms in the US are exploring parlay-style event contracts. Entain CEE’s Chief Sportsbook Officer Ivan Gojić told SBC News that “the bar keeps moving on bet builders”, adding that they are now essential rather than a differentiator.
What the Rebrand Consolidates
The refreshed identity unites capabilities from the wider Kambi Group, including Tzeract’s AI trading platform, Shape Games’ frontend technology and Abios’ eSports business. AI will expand the range of betting opportunities that can be priced and traded while making sportsbook experiences more dynamic and personalised.
Werner Becher, Kambi’s Chief Executive Officer, stated that the firm is “driving sports betting into a new era”. Becher said: “AI is changing what’s possible, player expectations are evolving and operators need partners that can help them adapt and stay ahead.”
Kambi’s share price has risen by over 30% so far this year. The company supplies Rush Street Interactive, BetMGM, Bally’s and PENN in the US. The rebrand brings network scale, proprietary technology and trading expertise under one identity to deliver operator advantage.

Network scale is converting bet builder volume into measurable margin lift; the question is whether complexity scales profitably from here.
We've worked across every major regulated market, and we know margin compression is the operator's nightmare. Kambi's World Cup numbers—18% margin, bet builders jumping from 3% to 22% of live handle—show AI and data loops can reverse that trend. But only if product complexity doesn't eat the gains.
- 70+ partners, €17bn turnover, 1.5bn bets yearly create the data loop fueling AI pricing
- Bet builders rose to 22% of 2026 World Cup live bets vs. 3% in 2022
- Rebrand unifies Tzeract AI, Shape Games frontend, Abios eSports under one platform
SCCG angle: SCCG has placed senior trading and product executives with Kambi partners and competitors across four continents. We help operators stress-test whether platforms like this deliver sustainable margin or just bigger tech bills—and connect you to the teams who've deployed them at scale.
