'Exploring the possibility of replacing ads with betting opportunities opens a whole range of possibilities for content owners. It puts the question to advertisers: can you beat the CPM available? The potential is obvious and we have not even utilised our targeting capabilities yet.' Said Duncan Burbidge, CEO of StreamUK.

'This represents a fantastic new outlet for our high-quality content. It marks the start of what I expect to be an important partnership.' Commented Metin Dalman, VP Media Operations for Enda Sports and Media.
