NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sportech, the
international betting technology business, and Sportradar, the
global leader in understanding and leveraging the power of sports
data, today announced a commercial betting deal in the United States. Under the terms of the
agreement, Sportech will be able to offer Sportradar's trading and
risk management services, as well as its comprehensive range of
tools and services for legal sports betting to licensed operators
in the emerging U.S. sports betting marketplace.
Following the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision paving the way
for states to adopt legislation to permit and regulate sports
betting, this agreement will allow Sportech to offer Sportradar's
proven sports betting related product portfolio – including
pre-match and in-play betting services, content, trading tools, and
risk management services – to its network of 90 licensed operator
business clients and other eligible operators in states where
sports betting activity is declared legal. Sportech also has plans
to deploy Sportradar's turnkey sports betting platform in
Connecticut when legislation
permits.
"We are very pleased to have forged this agreement with
Sportradar, a global leader in sports event data, monitoring, and
integrity and an official partner for the NBA, NFL, NHL, NASCAR and
more," said Andrew Gaughan, CEO of
Sportech. "We are thrilled to expand our product line to
include Sportradar's globally recognized sports betting capability,
and we are poised to deliver a world class sports betting
experience to our business clients across the US and within our 16
Connecticut locations and through our online and mobile channels,
when legislation permits."
Beyond serving operators in Las
Vegas for a number of years, Sportradar has been proactive
in planning for a broader legalized sports betting landscape in the
U.S. and this partnership underscores the great potential that
exists within this developing market.
"We're excited to partner with Sportech, a company that shares
our vision of how the US betting market will unfold and who are
well positioned to capitalize on that market with existing gaming
licenses and a strong customer base," said Neale Deeley, VP Gaming Sales, Sportradar. "Our
turnkey solutions and market leading bookmaker services will
accelerate their sportsbook offering and provide them with a strong
advantage as other states pass sports betting legislation."
