Supplier and operator of pool/tote betting Sportech has signed three new distribution deals to further increase the company's global reach.
The Football Pools has been launched on the Ladbrokes site, which means that customers can now play a range of games directly via the gaming company’s website. This is in addition to existing distribution of the Football Pools through the Ladbrokes retail betting shop estate.
Caribbean and South American football fans will soon be able to place bets on fixtures in UK football through playing the Football Pools products via pari-mutuel gaming company Sol Mutuel after an agreement was signed with Sol for distribution across the Caribbean and South America from Q2 2011 onwards.
Sportech Racing has also signed an agreement with Hipodromo Chile and Club Hipico de Santiago in Chile for the provision of pari-mutuel horseracing wagering systems, terminals and services. This contract will be live in due course.
Ian Penrose, chief executive of Sportech PLC commented: "Sportech continues to make progress in driving the distribution of our core product range globally. The recent announcements regarding new distribution deals for our Football Pools products, only a few weeks after completing our acquisition of SGR, and our agreement to provide systems and services in Chile through our Sportech Racing business are both very pleasing."
