Esports gaming data and betting technology platform GRID announced Monday that it has signed a partnership deal with prediction market firm Forkast.
Financial terms and duration of the deal were not revealed.
Details on what the partnership might entail weren’t revealed as the company made its announcement via brief video deployed on social media platforms.
Under the terms of the deal, Grid’s esports data would be made available to markets on Forkast.
This data might include live match statistics, information on rounds and maps, and more. This data will be plugged into the Forkast trading markets in real-time, allowing what GRID calls “no delay trading.”
GRID serves as the official data platform for a number of major esports titles and competitions, including League of Legends, Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege, and PUBG; and is a prominent data partner within the Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2 esports ecosystems. The company signed deals with ESL FACEIT Group and Chinese tournament organizer Clavision in July 2025.
In September 2025, GRID acquired the intellectual property (IP) assets of Berlin-based Bayes Esports for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition follows Bayes Esports’ liquidation proceedings earlier in the year, which The Esports Advocate first reported on on Aug. 6, 2025.
