Sportradar Gets Taiwan Lottery Contract

Gaming company Sportradar revealed this week that it has been selected to provide the technology platform to the Taiwan Sports Lottery from 2024 to 2033.

The contract is the third Sports Lottery Licence provided by the Taiwanese government and will see Sportradar working with ADATA Technology as the licencee, and Taiwan Sports Lottery Company as the operator. China Trust Bank is also involved in the agreement.

Under the terms of the deal, Sportradar will distribute its sportsbook platform Orako to more than 2,600 retail betting stations throughout the island, and will also include mobile functionality. There will be a heavy undertaking of delivering terminals and other hardware to the stores. To help facilitate the transition, Sportradar has hired a team in the capital of Taipei to help provide support.

Commenting on the deal, Sportradar CEO Carsten Koerl said, "Our experience working with government-run lotteries around the world, coupled with our innovative technology and end-to-end Orako solution means Sportradar is well-placed to operate as part of a successful consortium for the Taiwan Sports Lottery.

"We're able to bring the full range of betting services to deliver a high-quality and consistent experience for people playing the games. This is whether they're in retail outlets, playing via the internet or on their mobile devices."

Taiwan Sports Lottery Company's Ted Lin also commented, noting: "Our aim is to redefine the sports betting experience. Sportradar has a full suite of technological solutions to help us achieve that.

"With a proven track record of working with established lottery providers globally, we look forward to harnessing the synergies with Sportradar to transform the sports betting landscape in Taiwan."
