Sports Information Services (SIS) News

Betfred, bet365, Ladbrokes Coral, Paddy Power Betfair, Phumelela Gaming and Unibet are among the operators to have secured the rights to stream the Saudi Cup via Sports Information Service's retail and online services.

William Morris joined SIS in 2016 as Digital Sales Manager, playing a key role in growing the company’s digital business, both domestically and internationally.

Sports Information Services will demonstrate these services which feature live and virtual horse and greyhound racing events, quick-fire betting opportunities and bet types tailored to international customer needs.

The leading supplier of 24/7 betting services has reached an agreement with Dubai Racing Club (DRC) for the renewal of its exclusive U.K. and Irish LBO rights and international online rights for Meydan Racecourse for a further two years.

The supplier will bring 49s-branded virtual horse and greyhound racing games to online customers for the first time under the terms of a multi-year deal.

The supplier will deliver coverage and fixed-odds prices for 300 races to U.K. retail and online customers.

Launched with operator Sporting Times, the deal will pave the way for high definition content to be played in shops via SIS' IPTV streaming network.

An agreement with Loyalty Rewarded will see the supplier incorporate website widgets and gamification and browser platforms that help players make the most of their online presence.

The agreement, which takes SIS' longstanding partnership with Ladbrokes-owned greyhound tracks up to the end of 2020, further enhances the SIS Greyhound Service coverage available to LBOs in the U.K. and Ireland, and also extends the reach of live greyhound racing online through SIS Stream, the streaming service for bookmakers worldwide.

The Virtuals Connect platform is a fully managed product offering, which removes any initial capital outlay on infrastructure for each customer, thus allowing operators of any size to offer Inspired's hugely popular high-quality virtual sports content without the need to invest in bespoke hardware or streaming capability.

The Santa Chimney Racing and Santa Sack Racing games are a merry edition to the full portfolio of 2D and 3D horseracing, greyhounds and cycling games which went live with Sky Vegas in early December.

The data and pictures agreement with the Dubai course is an extension of the vital coverage that SIS has provided to operators for over 15 years.

Sky Vegas is launching SIS' innovative new on-demand games on their site on Dec. 10, and will be able to offer simple fixed odds bets, as well as forecast and tricast wagers using the unique Forecast Slider, which gives clear odds on all available combinations.

The former operations director is now the head of horse racing content, having previously been with SIS for 26 years before spending the past three years at Totepool.

The companies together have launched a new live streaming video service for British greyhound racing.
