New partnership with ALT Sports Data lets fans wager on the sport’s biggest matchups

 

Tampa, FL – (November 4, 2025) Real American Freestyle (RAF), the first-ever unscripted pro wrestling league, today announced a new multi-year partnership with ALT Sports Data, introducing regulated sports betting markets to the league for the first time. The agreement makes ALT Sports Data the exclusive global provider of official betting data for RAF events and unlocks a new layer of fan engagement for one of the fastest-growing properties in combat sports.

As part of the deal, ALT Sports Data will manage and distribute real-time RAF event data to sportsbook/ gaming operators and media partners worldwide. This will allow for the creation of legal, in-event betting markets around RAF matchups — giving fans new ways to experience and engage with the league.

 

“This is a major step forward for RAF,” said Chad Bronstein, CEO and Co-Founder of Real American Freestyle.“We’re building the next great combat sports platform, and that means delivering the kind of live experiences and second-screen engagement modern fans expect. ALT gives us the tools and reach to make that happen, and to bring pro freestyle wrestling into the global betting ecosystem in a smart, strategic way.”

 

Through this partnership, RAF becomes one of the few unscripted professional wrestling organizations in the world to offer sanctioned betting markets backed by official data. It adds another commercial pillar to the league’s growing footprint, which includes streaming distribution on FOX Nation, national events, athlete merchandising, and NIL integration.

 

“Real American Freestyle is exactly the kind of forward-thinking league we look to partner with – dynamic, high-impact, and built for digital audiences,” said Todd Ballard, President and Chief Growth Officer at ALT Sports Data “We’re excited to help them scale betting engagement and connect with fans in an entirely new way.”

 

ALT Sports Data’s proprietary technology platform powers data and betting integrations for combat and emerging sports properties, providing sportsbooks like FanDuel, DraftKings, bet365 and others with official odds and real-time pricing. ALT’s broader offering includes global distribution, integrity services, and fan demand generation via its 200M+ social reach and owned media platform, NXTbets.com.
