SBTech named Sports Betting Supplier of the Year at EGR B2B Awards 2019

The pioneering business has achieved a host of significant milestones in the last 12 months, winning some of the industry’s biggest sports betting and platform technology contracts across established and newly regulated markets including the UK, US and the Nordics.

SBTech created history by becoming the first supplier to announce sportsbook technology partnerships in the newly regulated US market with Churchill Downs, Golden Nugget and Resorts Casino, just weeks after the repeal of PASPA.

Since then it has rapidly become the go-to sportsbook platform supplier having won several major public procurement processes due to its innovative, proven, revenue-generating platform and sportsbook technology that is recognised as the number one for speed to market, localisation and flexibility.

In May this year SBTech launched of the most significant new brands into the competitive UK market, powering Gamesys’ new sportsbook brand Virgin Bet after agreeing a landmark five-year full platform deal. SBTech was selected by Gamesys due to the depth of next-generation platform and sportsbook API’s.

In January this year SBTech was also named Sports Betting Supplier of the year at the annual EGR Nordics Awards with judges praising its achievements in the region for providing highly innovative, best performing sportsbook products to several of the industry’s major brands for more than a decade.

Andrew Cochrane, Chief Development Officer at SBTech, said: “All the team’s hard work and commitment has paid off and we’re delighted to win the prize for the Sports Betting Supplier of the Year for the first time. We’ve secured some of the industry’s largest and most strategically significant deals in the last year and this is just reward for everyone’s efforts.

“To also win In-Play Betting Software Supplier for the fourth year in a row is testament to our innovative product suite of in-play sports betting products that continue to deliver a unique user experience for players and outstanding results for our customers.

“I’d like to thank EGR and the judging panel for the awards, and everyone at SBTech for enabling us to deliver outstanding technology and customer service to all our valued partners.”
