Playtech BGT Sports debuts QUANTUM digital betting platform with OPAP
Greece’s leading gaming company to leverage PBS’s digital platform
Playtech BGT Sports (PBS), the market-leading provider of omni-channel sports betting solutions, has announced the official roll-out of its latest state-of-the-art sports betting digital platform, Quantum, with OPAP, Greece’s leading gaming company.
OPAP will become the first operator to take advantage of PBS digital sportsbook offering as part of its QUANTUM roll-out. This new agreement follows the existing partnership between PBS and OPAP, following the integration of PBS retail sports betting platform in 2017 across OPAP’s retail network in Greece.
As the undisputed global industry leader for retail betting solutions with over 65,000 terminals live worldwide and 1.1 million bets processed daily, PBS’ QUANTUM enables a first of its kind omni-channel betting operation. It can serve customers’ every retail and online bet entry point simultaneously from one centralised source.
PBS already provides software and services across OPAP’s retail network with its full-size and compact SSBTs, as well as over the counter (OTC) points of sale, totalling more than 14,000 bet entry points.
The QUANTUM digital platform will allow OPAP to tap into new opportunities in the betting market and also provide the operator with a complete toolkit to view and manage its sports betting operations.
Set to be fully managed via the operator’s in-house traders, PBS has also developed a ‘trading cockpit’ for OPAP, ensuring that the operator is ready for 2020 with one of the most efficient sports betting operations available.
Commenting on the new partnership between PBS and OPAP, Playtech BGT Sports CEO Armin Sageder said:
“OPAP is one of the most renowned gaming companies internationally and we’re thrilled to be debuting our state-of-the-art multi-channel sportsbook with them.
“The result of over two years of development, we have no doubt that QUANTUM Digital will prove to be a growth driver for OPAP throughout 2020 and beyond. We look forward to a continued successful relationship together for many years to come”.
Damian Cope, CEO of OPAP added: “The introduction of the PBS platform, across all of our retail betting outlets in Greece, has been a critical element in the improvement and growth of OPAP’s retail sports betting performance. We are therefore pleased to be expanding our partnership with the adoption of the QUANTUM digital platform, which will provide OPAP with a number of exciting new opportunities. We look forward to continuing our productive relationship with PBS in the future.”

Betsson, Aris BC and AEK Betsson BC Join Forces to Raise Awareness for Breast Cancer Prevention
In a symbolic gesture of support for breast cancer awareness, Betsson, alongside Aris BC and AEK Betsson BC, united to deliver a strong message on Saturday, October 5, just before their game at “Nick Galis Hall”.
During the team presentations, the players from both Aris BC and AEK Betsson BC wore specially designed T-shirts displaying the message, “Early diagnosis saves lives”. Through this initiative, Betsson and the teams encouraged women to priorities their health by incorporating regular check-ups into their routine, emphasizing that early detection is key to saving lives.
Adding to the day’s activities, two fans took part in the season’s first Betsson “tic-tac-toe” event during halftime, further amplifying the campaign’s message.
Marking October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month – an internationally campaign dedicated to raising awareness and educating people about breast cancer – Betsson and the two teams highlighted the importance of early detection in combating the disease. Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, but with early diagnosis, the survival rate exceeds 95%. Regular screenings and self-examinations are the most effective tools women can use to safeguard their health.
Betsson, through its sponsorship partnerships with Aris BC and AEK Betsson BC, emphasises that breast cancer is treatable when detected early. Public education and awareness are critical in saving lives, and this campaign serves as a reminder of the importance of early detection.
