SBTech goes live with sports gambling in Indiana

Sports gambling technology and solutions provider SBTech continues its advance across the U.S. as it looks to capture as big a chunk of the betting market as possible. Its latest move involves Indiana’s burgeoning industry and comes through a partnership with Rising Star Casino. On November 11, SBTech officially launched an on-property sportsbook at the venue.

The sportsbook is being operated under the BetAmerica brand owned by Churchill Downs, according to a company press release. It offers self-service gambling kiosks, as well as cashier booths and a full bar. Following Indiana’s recent launch of online betting, SBTech will roll out its proprietary online and mobile sports gambling platform.

SBTech U.S. President Melisa Riahei indicates in the announcement, “We are very excited to be entering the great state of Indiana. Our on-property sportsbook product has been extremely successful to date, and we look forward to replicating that success for Rising Star Casino, in partnership with Churchill Downs.”

The company recently helped the Oregon State Lottery (OSL) launch its Scoreboard app last month. That platform allows sports wagers across all major leagues and provides access to live bets, prop bets and futures, and is available through both the OSL website, as well as a stand-alone app. Permanent betting kiosks are expected to be added sometime next year.
