OpenBet Casinos
Multi-faceted by nature and showing a great deal of expertise in whatever they put their mind to, OpenBet is a contemporary, forward-thinking corporation whose sportsbook and casino product suite is merely a fraction of the entire shebang that makes them what they are. Taking great pride in their socially responsible way of conducting business and progressive notions such as eliminating gender-based pay gap, it is no wonder their great assets were recognized by one of the industry's giants, SG Digital, who purchased the brand in November 2018 for a hefty price of GBP 270 million. OpenBet's history goes way further than that, though.
Established in 1996...
...the company has since deployed software solutions and an open gaming platform in a multitude of regulated iGaming jurisdictions. At the present moment, they boast a stunning portfolio of over 200 partners and have six offices spreading from North America over London to Singapore and Australia.
They are powering the “the largest share of the world's online bets”, they are trusted and proud partners of William Hill, Betfair, SkyBet, Ladbrokes and other eminent industry names. A particularly prominent place in their corporate biography goes to the world's first omnichannel gaming solution that makes them the dynamic stand-out brand that values technical excellence.
But the most visionary act of all...
...is the thorough and diligent work on elimination of pay inequality between genders, which has been successfully achieved through careful and intelligent managerial planning and decisions for the benefit of its employees
At the 2017 Grand National, their sportsbook broke new records, soon after processing over two billion bets.
Player-Care and Games
The omnichannel platform is “player-centric”, in a sense that it's committed entirely to the enjoyment and retention of consumers. With that in mind, a corporate study of players' behavior – one of the largest ever – was conducted.
Some of its key findings state...
...that players still hold free bets and bonuses in high regard and they value simplicity. That mobile devices, although gaining momentum, should not be overly focused on and that retail offerings very much matter. Players are very hostile towards having ads in their games, the survey concludes and all of this has helped create an omnichannel platform with “the right product at the right time for the right people.”
Within their platform, hundreds of branded, mini, reactor, slot, table, and poker games are comprised from over 15 different providers. These titles are omnichannel HTML5, mobile HMTL5, and desktop Flash.
