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

SBTech has won two major prizes at the EGR B2B Awards 2019, claiming Sports Betting Supplier of the year and best In-play Betting Software, the fourth consecutive year the company has achieved this accolade.

SBTech became 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 won several major public procurement processes due to its 'innovative, proven, revenue-generating platform and sportsbook technology that is recognized as the number one for speed to market, localization, and flexibility,' the company said in a statement.

In May this year, SBTech launched a new brand into the competitive UK market, powering Gamesys’ new sportsbook brand Virgin Bet after agreeing on a landmark five-year full platform deal.

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 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 a 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."
