APWin

APWin is a website that provides football statistics, live match scores and betting predictions. It serves sports bettors in Latin America and other regions, providing data for more than 700 football leagues.

History

APWin was founded in 2021. It is a private company that has operated without outside funding. Its main team is based in Brazil, while software engineers in Southeast Asia were involved in developing the website's technology.

In May 2021, APWin published the Brasileirão 2021 Guide, which provided information about football clubs, tournament rules and sportsbooks operating in Brazil. The guide also addressed schedule changes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2024, under Brazilian manager Amauri Barbosa, APWin expanded its database to include more local matches. The expansion covered all Brazilian State Championships, the four main national divisions, the national women's league and the Copa do Brasil.

Operations and products

APWin's main website is available free of charge. The service can also be accessed through a desktop application listed by platforms such as WebCatalog.

The platform collects football match data and presents statistics and odds for different outcomes. Users can filter information including average goals, corner kicks, clean sheets, the likelihood of both teams scoring, and differences in team performance between home and away matches.

The website also provides television and streaming schedules for football matches and publishes user reviews of sports betting websites. Web traffic analysis services classify APWin within the sports gambling data industry, with competitors including Forebet, BetMines, SportyTrader, Oddspedia and Windrawwin.

Reception and influence

Brazilian sports media outlets have used APWin as a source of football statistics. For example, Meu Timão has cited APWin statistics, including average corner kicks and ball possession, in match previews and betting-related articles.

APWin's articles concerning gambling legislation have also been cited in Brazilian academic research. A 2022 thesis on gambling addiction by researchers at Colégio São Luís cited an APWin article when discussing legal terminology and whether sports betting constituted a game of chance under Brazilian law.
