Playtech starts delivering on OPAP terminals agreement

News on 20 Sep 2017

Playtech BGT Sports has started rolling out software and services for the Self-Service Betting Terminals (“SSBTs”) of Greek betting and lottery operator OPAP.

The company will not only supply software and services for self-service betting terminals, but also introduce a new and highly-customised over-the-counter sports betting solution specifically developed for the Greek market.

Under the agreement PBS will supply software and services for a combination of full-sized SSBTs, as well as the recently launched compact SSBTs, with the initial rollout of machines having commenced in August 2017.

The introduction of the new OTC solution, complete with a substantial in-play offering, is planned in the coming months. PBS will provide a fully-managed service to OPAP, including trading and more than 25,000 in-play markets.

Several thousand SSBTs will be rolled out in the next 12 months, while all OTC betting activity will be migrated to the PBS platform across OPAP’s entire network of more than 4,500 locations.

Dr. Armin Sageder, CEO of Playtech BGT Sports, said in a company statement Wednesday: “There are multiple opportunities to further develop our relationship as OPAP looks to enhance its digital retail offering and we believe today’s agreement marks the start of a long and successful relationship.”
