Kambi expects AI to help accept around 18 million additional bets this year

Kambi expects its AI-powered trading technology to help accept about 18 million additional bets this year. The company announced this estimate through remarks from CEO Werner Becher on its earnings call following its third-quarter results.

Becher said the new dynamic betting delay feature moves the company away from the fixed delay it applied during matches. The system evaluates each bet separately under its own conditions. When making a decision, it considers the current state of the match, the bet type, and the company's confidence in its risk management.

Becher said that about 60% of the bets the system processes are accepted with a zero-second delay. Following the switch to the AI system in basketball, NBA bet rejections were reported to have dropped 32% year over year after last month's transition.

The company currently runs about 85% of its bets through the AI system. The target is to raise this share to 90% by year-end. Rollout for American football and table tennis is still in progress.
