GVC Holdings’ proprietary US sports betting platform, operated by Stadium Technology Group, has powered the first single-game sports bets in the state of Delaware.
A full sports offering, available through the state’s three casinos – Harrington Raceway, Dover Downs and Delaware Park – went live yesterday. Previously, sports betting in Delaware was limited to parlay betting, the US equivalent of pool wagering. Parlay bets will continue to be offered in over 100 other retail locations throughout the state, powered by Stadium.
GVC’s Stadium software also has the capability to roll out to those retail locations.
Stadium already provides the software used in 16 of the 20 licensed sports books in the state of Nevada and offers an omni-channel, integrated sports betting solution. It will enable partners to have a live sports betting offer ahead of the forthcoming NFL season, in states where legislation is revised to permit it.
GVC’s director of development and corporate strategy, Adam Greenblatt, said: “We are delighted to be up-and-running as the first – and currently only – provider with a market ready solution for our partners in the new regulatory environment.
“As legislation evolves in the post-PASPA world, having the capability and flexibility to be able to get to market fast, with proven and compliant technology, is a key advantage for us.
“This small but important step on the pathway of regulatory reform in the US sports betting and igaming market, shows the preparedness of GVC to take an active part in the development of the sector.
“We believe the Group’s proprietary, omni-channel technology coupled with our extensive US and international operating experience and trading expertise, positions us for long-term success.”
