Jens Hilgers, Co-founder and Managing Director of Bayes, discussed the expansion possibilities in a release: “With our two business units, we are able to provide a never-seen-before depth of data when it comes to professional esports tournaments and matches globally. This provides a great starting point for the creation of new services and products leading to greater entertainment offerings for the esports fans and community.”

The capital raised will be used to assist in further expansion of its data and content offering through its platform. Bayes Holding is made up of Bayes Esports Solutions, a joint venture with Sportrader, and analytical company Shadow.gg.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
