Users will gain access to an overview of in-game events such as number of headshots, round winners or number of kills by specific players across a range of games including Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), League of Legends (LoL) and Dota2.

“We are happy that there continues to be a high demand for our offer of accurate esports data and that we can now count a highly respected operator such as Scientific Games among our clients,” added Felix Klastrup, CEO and Founder of GameScorekeeper.
