Nearly 20 years ago, Grandstand started with one goal: to help consumers make smarter decisions in the fast-growing world of online betting.
That simple idea grew into something much bigger. What began as a comparison and content business is now a portfolio of consumer brands and partner solutions spanning sports data, technology, media and entertainment.
Gambling.com Group Limited has announced its rebrand as Grandstand Limited. The new corporate identity brings together a broader set of consumer brands and industry-facing products — proof of how far the company has come from its original roots in editorial comparison and expert content.

SubscribeThe change took effect on 23 July 2026. Shares began trading on Nasdaq under the ticker GRSD. Gambling.com stays on as a flagship consumer brand. Grandstand becomes the name behind the group, including OddsJam, OpticOdds, RotoWire, Casinos.com and WhichBingo.
This is more than a name change. It’s the story of a company that outgrew its own label. So how did Gambling.com Group become Grandstand, and what comes next?
The Early Days
Grandstand was founded in 2006 to help users find gambling products and make better decisions. Gambling.com became the company’s public face because it was simple, direct and consumer-friendly.
That early success came down to understanding audiences: what information people needed, how they researched betting decisions, and how to connect them with trustworthy, well-researched insight at the right moment. That editorial expertise is still the foundation of the business today.
By the time of its 2021 Nasdaq listing, the company was known first and foremost for expert reviews and consumer-facing editorial content. Its job was helping people make informed choices about betting and casino products through solid research and analysis. That was enough to build a public company on.
Outgrowing the Original Identity
After the IPO, the company grew well beyond its editorial comparison roots. It added and scaled brands like OddsJam, OpticOdds, RotoWire, Casinos.com and WhichBingo, pushing into sports data, fantasy tools, media, advertising, audience monetisation and entertainment ticketing.
The old name couldn’t keep up. A brand built around comparison and reviews wasn’t built to carry a group now running real-time sports data feeds, adtech, audience monetisation infrastructure and Vegas entertainment ticketing.
Splitting Grandstand from Gambling.com lets each name do its own job. Gambling.com remains the trusted destination for expert betting comparisons and reviews. Grandstand becomes the name for everything built around it.
The company hasn’t walked away from its past. It’s just finally wearing a name that fits what it became.
A Big Future Ahead
Grandstand is now positioning itself as the company that helps power informed decisions across sports, gaming and entertainment — not just for individual bettors, but for sportsbooks, media companies, creators, fantasy platforms and entertainment partners.
Its core strengths: real-time odds, line movement and injury data, advertising solutions, audience monetisation tools, and Vegas ticketing and experiences. All of it still runs on the same editorial rigour that built the company’s reputation in the first place.
The rebrand is a statement. Grandstand wants to be known as an infrastructure and editorial authority — not just a comparison site chasing clicks.
The company started by helping people find betting products through trusted, expert-led content. Now it wants a hand in shaping the information and tools people use before they even get to that decision.
Twenty years of acquisitions, product builds, and audience growth quietly turned a comparison site into something closer to an industry utility. The rebrand didn’t create that — it just finally gave it a name.
