Investing in Winning Experiences.
Sportech have invested millions over the last ten years to significantly grow and enhance our Connecticut gaming venues and digital gaming platforms and to develop our innovative lottery and iGaming solution.
We're proud to be in our third decade of delivering responsible gaming excitement and innovative gaming solutions.
Backing Responsibility
We pride ourselves on operating at the highest levels of integrity and working with governing bodies, regulators and official sporting bodies to provide sustainable and socially responsible betting.
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.
Charitable Initiatives
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.
