Greek lottery and betting operator OPAP has announced a trio of new technology supplier deals as the company looks to upgrade its core services.
On Wednesday, OPAP announced that it had selected sportsbook data and services outfit Betgenius as its new primary integrated digital sports betting service provider. The two-year deal will ensure OPAP receives fully-automated prices for around 130k events per year.
OPAP will begin migrating its digital sportsbook to Betgenius’ platform later this year. OPAP’s platform is currently provided by Italian operator GTECH, but OPAP CEO Damian Cope vowed last August that the company would launch “a far superior offering” in 2017.
At the retail level, OPAP has come to terms on a software and services deal with gambling technology provider Playtech‘s BGT Sports division to power self-service betting terminals (SSBT) across OPAP’s agency network. OPAP betting shops will commence the SSBT rollout in H1 2017, while a Playtech-powered over-the-counter sports betting solution will follow in 2018.
