Big news!! As some of you may have noticed Stake has signed a major multi-season livestreaming deal for all NBA, NHL, MLB events. A few country restrictions do apply but the deal is global! That means you can watch and bet on some of the biggest sports without the usual TV delay. To my knowledge this is a first in the crypto world!
Pardon me asking, but how the hell did you manage to do that
I mean we are talking about NBA, NHL and MLB here. Sure NHL is not as global and MLB is not as global as NBA, that one is a huge one. Just in my nation it costs around 4 million dollars simply for the live "tv" rights, maybe digital one for streaming could be smaller of course but that is just ONE nation, even if it is one tenths of it we are talking about 400k for one nation.
You are talking about global and that has to be tens of millions of dollars. Maybe it is not, maybe it is cheaper, I really can't ask you how much it totally cost you, maybe you can say that or maybe there is an NDA on it so you may disclose. However if you have the permission to talk about how much it is, that would be a great start because I would love to hear how much that cost you guys, that is just insane!
We can't disclose the details of the deal but I will say it is something we have been working on getting for many months. To my knowledge only 3 websites have almost completely global rights for these streams.
I just wanted to say that the website seems to be running smoother since the last update. Particularly the login experience. I also had my first experience with the affiliate program and was surprised to see how easy it was. It’s great to see when your affiliate link is used and be able to monitor those stats.
Thanks Og, it is great to hear that. We have a major update coming out next month which will increase speed and stability of the site massively. Just wait till you get to try that build
