London, UK – 20 April 2018 – SBTech has once again strengthened its position as the leading provider of betting and gaming solutions in regulated markets by winning the prestigious Innovation of the Year prize at the Gambling Compliance Global Regulatory Awards 2018.

Recognising the most forward-thinking companies that are best prepared for the impact of new regulations, the award is a credit to the work SBTech has carried out in implementing innovative processes to enhance compliance across regulated jurisdictions and its operator network.

Andrew Cochrane, SBTech Chief Commercial Officer, commented: “As a company we are delighted to have been awarded this prestigious prize, which honours the vital work our compliance teams carry out in regulated markets.

“It is also very satisfying to see our long-term strategy of providing the most innovative solutions and services in regulated markets recognised by the industry, as it represents a longstanding, in-depth effort on the part of the group. The quality and breadth of our offering is complemented by the unrivalled expertise of our legal and regulatory teams in achieving full compliance in every jurisdiction, with a current focus on recently and newly-regulated markets like Portugal and Poland and, of course, territories which we hope will soon be regulated, such as the US.”
