Omni-channel partnership renewed in Spain and across Latin America

Playtech BGT Sports, the market-leading provider of omni-channel sports betting solutions, has extended its sportsbook partnership with Codere.

The new contract, which will run until late 2022, covers its retail presence and online facilities in Spain, Mexico, Panama, and Colombia. It includes over 9,000 betting terminals and retail tills, with numbers expected to grow in the coming months.

The extension of the partnership reflects the growing demand for Playtech BGT Sports’ products and its leadership in these key regulated markets.

Its new offering includes exciting content and unique features that will help Codere deliver an engaging user journey that combines the latest sporting events and information alongside thousands of pre-match and in-play betting opportunities.

Codere’s portfolio in Spain includes online gaming and more than 2,600 retail points of sale, locations where transactions are carried out, including 77 LBOs. Its Codere Apuestas brand is the official sports betting partner of Real Madrid.

Codere CEO, Vicente Di Loreto, said: “We’re very pleased to have extended our deal with Playtech BGT Sports, which is amazing news for our growing business across Spain and Latin America. Choosing Playtech BGT Sports allow us to provide both great content and an engaging customer experience.”
