Rothera Selects Stats Perform to Supply Data for Sports Event Contract Settlement
TL;DR — Rothera partnered with Stats Perform for live results, scheduling, and settlement metrics on sports event contracts covering football, NBA, basketball, tennis, and F1. Sports derivatives comprise up to 80% of volume on major platforms, with combos now at half of contracts. Morgan Stanley upgraded Robinhood citing prediction market growth.
SCCG Take — The deal equips Rothera with compliant data infrastructure essential for self-certification and scaling sports volume. It reinforces prediction markets as a core Robinhood growth driver ahead of peak NFL season.
Rothera, the prediction market formed as a joint venture between Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD) and Susquehanna International Group, has chosen Stats Perform as data provider for its sports event contracts.
The selection supports creation, trading, and settlement across the exchange and clearing platform. It arrives as college football enters Week 1 and ahead of the 2026 NFL season.
Under the agreement, Rothera receives live game results, scheduling information, and aggregated market data. Stats Perform also supplies the metric values required to settle contracts, a critical element of the self-certification process used to manage the event contract lifecycle.
The arrangement initially covers college and professional football, the NBA, men’s and women’s college basketball, ATP and WTA tennis, and Formula 1. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Rothera launched last November. It has become one of the fastest-growing U.S. prediction markets, with sports derivatives driving a significant share of activity. Sports derivatives still account for as much as 80% or more of turnover on some of the largest domestic platforms.
Multi-leg bets, nearly all focused on sports, accounted for half of contract volume on U.S. prediction markets last month. That figure is more than triple the percentage seen six months earlier.
Data Needs Tied to Combo Growth and Institutional Demand
The companies stated that as institutional participation in event contract markets continues to grow, access to accurate, reliable sports data supports clearly defined contracts, transparent markets, and objective settlement.
