Scientific Games subsidiary SG Digital has announced that it has been engaged in a multi-year deal to provide expanded sportsbook services to the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC).
BCLC has been using the OpenBet sportsbook for several years, and the agreement includes a full upgrade of the BCLC digital sports betting solutions, providing them with the latest iteration of the OpenBet sportsbook portfolio, including improvements to live betting, a streamlined cashout experience, and additional promotional capabilities. The upgrades are targeted for launch by the end of 2018.
The upgrade agreement underpins the strength of the longstanding relationship between Scientific Games and BCLC, the supplier said in a statement Tuesday. In addition to digital gaming and sportsbook solutions, the SG has provided casino gaming and lottery systems to BCLC for many years.
Keith O’Loughlin, SVP Sportsbook and Platforms at SG Digital, said, “Together, SG Digital and BCLC will drive the Canadian market to a new sports betting era. Our OpenBet products are a perfect fit for BCLC, and we look forward to our continued partnership.”
