Official live scoring data definition
Official live scoring data means that which is ‘sold’ by IGBs to data supply companies (and then on to betting operators) on an official basis (i.e. pursuant to a contractual relationship between the IGB and the data supply company). “Unofficial live scoring data” – means that which is obtained other than pursuant to an official live scoring data agreement. This includes data obtained by unofficial scouts at venues, from broadcast streams and ‘scraped’ from online sources.
