London-listed sports betting technology provider Sportech has extended its tote betting services agreement with the Irish Greyhound Board.

The new multi-year deal will see the company’s Sportech Racing and Digital division upgrade the board’s current Series 7 Tote system to its Quantum pari-mutuel betting platform, which offers access to new pools and markets along with global commingling capabilities.

“The Irish Greyhound Board is happy to be making this important investment in our betting operation with the upgrade to Sportech’s Quantum Tote and look forward to delivering an overall improved betting experience to our players,” said Irish Greyhound Board director of Tote and wagering Joe Lewins.

“Sportech have been an excellent technology partner to IGB for many years and we look forward to a continued productive relationship.”

Bruno Gay, vice president of sales and business development EMEA at Sportech, commented: “Sportech are very pleased to extend the power of Quantum System to IGB and to offer them the pools, market reach, and operational tools to help them maximise their potential.

“We look forward to a continued strong business partnership with IGB that harnesses Sportech’s technologies to elevate the betting experience for their players.”
