RPM the specialist in retail and online betting and gaming, has announced the introduction of its new, improved Pace and Edge cricket services ahead of a landmark Australian Big Bash League (BBL|16) which will see its opening match held in the world’s highest-volume cricket market, India, later this year.
BBL|16 begins overseas in Chennai, India on December 12, when Melbourne Renegades take on defending champions Perth Scorchers, with the historic move set to capture unprecedented viewership and prolonged betting engagement from new and established audiences throughout the tournament.
RPM’s Pace, a direct data feed from the stadium, and Edge, RPM’s proprietary pricing feed, have been designed, upgraded and battle-hardened to deliver the confidence for cricket traders to offer the premium end product expected by bettors and the margin protection to fully leverage the GGR spikes expected over the six-week event.
Both Pace and Edge - which incorporates local conditions, including temperature, humidity, and wind into its smarter calculations - are fully API-ready, feature comprehensive operational consoles, and are built to eliminate the latency gaps that typically erode profitability during volatile T20 matches. Ball tracking is delivered with effectively zero latency (0.01s) to help deliver the sharpest pricing outputs that have been modelled on over 11m deliveries and countless match scenarios, and historical and live stats are available to enhance the trader view.
The Chennai match begins one of the busiest periods on the cricket calendar, bringing an added urgency for operators to ensure their cricket trading operations are equipped with the fastest and most robust data feeds to deal with action spikes from syndicates and a wider betting public, with the IPL following soon after and the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup taking place in October 2027.
Richard Thorp, Founder at RPM, said: “It’s critical that operators are well-equipped going into the busiest period of the cricketing calendar, featuring an amped-up BBL tournament with hundreds of millions of Indian fans more engaged than ever. Legacy pricing latency is a surefire way to bleed margin on record turnover; whereas our proprietary Edge and Pace feeds are proven to make the most of these opportune moments.
“Built strictly for the bottom line, these services give trading teams the speed they need to confidently execute high-volume action, pre-match and in-play, rather than spending their time mitigating risk. Together, they provide a potent combination that can be transformative for cricket performance whatever the trading strategy, geography, or target audience.”
Following the latest improvements to its cricket services, RPM has confirmed that its pricing service Edge will now expand its coverage to include tennis and football feeds, before adding US sports soon after
