In focus: IGT PlaySports
Gaming operators seeking an incremental revenue stream, and a proven player acquisition tool, should consider introducing sports betting via IGT PlaySports. With a presence in North America, IGT PlaySports offers a versatile omnichannel sports betting technology, and services portfolio that includes top-tier sports betting hardware and software.
POWERFUL, VERSATILE AND MARKET-READY
The IGT PlaySports platform is one of the most powerful technology stacks in the rapidly expanding North American sports betting market. It is the sports betting platform of choice for more than 80 gaming venues across the North America. In 2022, IGT PlaySports extended its footprint to 11 additional jurisdictions, spanning 16 customers — making IGT one of the largest and most influential sports betting suppliers in North America.
Backed by the versatility and market readiness of the PlaySports solution, IGT has helped leading B2C brands, commercial and tribal casinos, racetracks, arenas, and lotteries establish and grow their sports betting enterprises; and is poised to continue this positive momentum moving forward.
Major Success With Major Sports Betting Providers
IGT PlaySports maintains strong partnerships with well-respected commercial sports betting providers such as FanDuel, PointsBet, Resorts World, Boyd Gaming and SuperBook.
Backed by IGT’s legacy in the gaming industry, PlaySports continues to hold a strong presence in tribal jurisdictions across the nation, including partnerships with Snoqualmie in Washington, Oneida in Wisconsin and Two Kings in North Carolina. In January 2023, we expanded our North American presence to include Ohio, which proved to be a major success for IGT due to new kiosk deployments with our partners at UBetOhio, FanDuel and BetSkyBox.
With the recent kiosk deployments in Ohio, IGT’s PlaySports technology is currently available in 29 US jurisdictions and more than 80 venues, including the FanDuel Sportsbook at The Meadowlands and Maryland Live! – two top-producing sportsbooks in the US.
