SBTech bolsters Spanish presence with Wanabet.es deal

Sports betting technology provider SBTech has secured a long-term sportsbook deal with R. Franco’s Wanabet.es brand in Spain.

Wanabet.es has migrated its sportsbook to SBTech’s platform, having been powered by Kambi’s sports betting technology since 2016.

The deal marks the second time a Spanish-facing brand has migrated from Kambi to SBTech’s award-winning platform following Luckia’s move four years ago.

“The migration of yet another visionary brand to SBTech is testament to not only our innovative product offering, but also the strength of our commercial and product teams throughout a rigorous sales process,” said SBTech chief development officer Andrew Cochrane. “We look forward to working closely with R. Franco to take them to the next level of performance through our industry-leading, market-ready sportsbook.

“The migration process can often appear daunting for an operator, but our extensive experience in what has now been multiple successful migrations to the SBTech sportsbook created the perfect foundation for R. Franco to seamlessly migrate to SBTech. This is the first of many we can expect to see during 2020.”

R. Franco digital and operations director Javier Sacristán Franco commented: “Spain is a rapidly evolving and growing market and to build on our success we knew we had to take our offering to the next level.

“We firmly believe that SBTech’s best-in-class sportsbook will enable us to achieve this and futureproof the business for many years to come.”
