OLYMPIC TO EXPAND OLYBET REACH
OlyBet, the online gaming brand of Estonia-based Olympic Group is now considering expanding to new markets
Estonia - Online
Having proven that land-based and online gaming can exist side-by-side and create significant syner- gy, OlyBet, the online gaming brand of Estonia- based Olympic Group is now considering expanding to new markets.
Armin Karu, Chairman of the Board of Olympic Entertainment Group, said: “In two years OlyBet has become the second largest online gaming operator in Estonia and Latvia. Besides aiming for a top tier posi- tion on our home soil it’s clear that the next major step for us will be expansion to new markets.”
Veiko Krünberg, who was recently appointed as the new CEO of
Olybet.com, added: “For operators, the golden era of online gaming is over – today the com- petition is tough, markets and regulations have become more mature, customers more experienced and demanding. Only operators with a strong con- cept, will and structure can be successful.”
Mr. Krünberg has over 10 years of experience in online gaming operations, most recently as Managing Director of a company owned by Betsson Group. OlyBet was launched by Olympic Entertainment Group (OEG) in the summer 2013 as a new operator with a focus on Baltic countries.
OEG Chairman, Armin Karu
Mr. Krünberg added: “OEG started in the online gam- ing sector relatively late. We were limited by some rooted principles of an established international land-based business and of a publicly listed compa- ny. We ruled out operations in the so-called grey zone.”
He explained that any expansion should take place only in markets that have proper regulation and enforcement measures in place.
“Our cooperation with land-based casinos in both Estonia and Latvia can already be considered as suc- cessful and for example today we’re taking about 25 per cent of OlyBet’s sports bets in our Sports Bars,” explained Mr. Krünberg, adding that additional syn- ergy is also coming from joint campaigns for live and online poker as well as loyalty programs and co- offers of land-based and online casinos. „While we are primarily focused on developments and oppor- tunities in countries where Olympic Casino is already present, we do look towards some entirely new markets.”
Luxembourg William Hill has bought a 29.4 per cent stake in Luxemburg-based NeoGames for US$25m as it moves to enter the online lottery market. Founded in 2005 as a pioneer of online scratch cards, NeoGames subsequently developed its offering to provide a range of online lottery products and services to lottery rights holders. It provides a combination of a wide portfolio of games, a state-of-the-art technology platform and operational services to 10 lotteries worldwide.
SG Gaming signs major new agreement with Talarius
UK Scientific Games’ SG Gaming has signed a major new four-year agreement with adult gaming centre operator Talarius. The agreement will see SG Gaming provide its fully integrated serv- er-based gaming (SBG) platform across an additional 92 Talarius adult gaming centres (AGC), tak- ing the total number of SG Gaming’s server based terminals to circa 500 across their estate. The rollout will deliver a range of Clarity and T8 terminals to all sites.
The deal was reached following the completion of a successful trial across a number of sites in the Talarius estate. With SG Gaming terminals already
installed in Talarius venues across the UK, the rollout repre- sents the conversion of these ter- minals to the SBG platform, along with the installation of arcade customised Clarity terminals and the additional purchase of T8 ter- minals.
The T8 and Clarity terminals will be fully networked on the server- based gaming platform and will benefit from multi-content menus, sophisticated promotion- al mechanics and operational efficiencies, including Ticket In Ticket Out. SG Gaming will also install its ticket redemption sta- tions (TRS) in each site which will provide Talarius with a fully inte- grated system that manages the entire operational process.
Phil Horne, UK Managing Director at SG Gaming, said: “The deal is testament to the strength and success of the relationship SG Gaming has with Talarius. We’ve worked side by side for a number of years and we now look forward to supporting Talarius with a SBG platform and a comprehensive rollout and training plan. This deal is the result of a significant strengthen- ing of SG Gaming’s position in the AGC sector. Operators are keen to move forward with our SBG solu- tion backed by SG Gaming’s infrastructure and support.
“We have tailored our offering for operators within the sector, and we believe the range of function- ality and operational efficiencies our gaming solution offers helps to drive cash box growth, espe- cially combined with the diverse, innovative and licensed content,” explained Mr. Horne.
