Sportech Sells Off Business In Dutch Region

Written By Janice Doughtrey

Sportech Racing BV will now be the property of RBP Luxembourg thanks to an agreement by Sportech PLC and the Dutch company. The vital business transaction is estimated to cost approximately 3.25 million Euros.

Sportech which is an online entertainment and gambling company acquired a tote betting and horse racing license to operate in the Dutch region. The license which was secured in June 2017 will be operational for five years. It covers nine shops for betting and 38 outlets which have online and terminals for selling.

However, the disposal agreement is still under scrutiny by some group entities that are under Sportech Racing and Sportech group. In addition to this, the proposed terms for the disposal will still have to get approval from certain licenses, agreements and regulatory consents associated with the companies. Moreover, the company revealed that the process of the sale of the company is still going on and once it’s complete it will be announced.

Andrew Gaughan who is the CEO of Sportech said that the disposal transaction will provide a lucrative business opportunity for the company. In that, it will ensure that the company grows in the American market after its business restructuring model was approved following the company’s extension of the US license.

The Chief Executive Officer of Sportech confirmed that his company will offer a contract that will be long term which will be instrumental in providing RBP with the tote services that it continues to supply. In addition to this, Sportech has also developed a reliable working engagement with the company. This working relationship has ensured that the company develops and sells their pools of French racing in the expanding market of Sportech customers who are all over the world.
