Responsible Gaming
Sportech takes its responsibility to consumers and clients very seriously. The Group operates in highly regulated markets, where the need for responsible behaviour is key.

Sportech engages in chartable initiatives through regular corporate giving. In addition, a portion of every dollar wagered through our Connecticut business helps fund responsible gaming initiatives.
Employee Responsibility
Sportech employs an estimated 400 team members in the Americas and the UK. The Group is committed to providing a safe, rewarding work experience and working environment to every employee.
Environmental Responsibility
Sportech works to reduce our impact on the natural environment, with internal initiatives to address resource consumption and digital products that help reduce reliance on paper in betting transactions.
