OpenBet and OPAP Partner to Deliver Enhanced Retail Betting Experience

Leading Greek gaming company leverages a wide range of betting markets and odds, as well new features, and functionalities, across its retail estate
OpenBet, a leading content, platform, and service provider to the sports betting industry, has extended its long-term partnership with OPAP, the leading gaming company in Greece to deliver an enhanced retail betting experience.
In this new framework, OpenBet’s technology platform and products are now leveraged across OPAP’s retail estate.
The migration involved more than 3,000 OPAP stores across Greece and an estimated 20,000 terminals, which are powered by OpenBet’s full suite of world-class betting technology and trading content.
Established in 1958, OPAP, a member of the Allwyn Group, is the leading gaming operator in Greece and one of the most renowned in its sector globally. As part of its business strategy, the company is seeking to develop a compelling retail betting proposition and provide more options and greater entertainment experiences to its customers.
OpenBet’s platform enables OPAP to offer new features and functionalities to its retail customers. From a back-end perspective, OPAP benefits from numerous software capabilities, including multipricing that allows the company to provide different odds and betting markets across retail and online. The launch of the new retail betting platform follows the successful launch of OPAP’s new online sportsbook, which is also powered by OpenBet.
Jan Karas, CEO of OPAP, commented: “The launch of a new betting platform across a retail estate of more than 3,000 stores was a major undertaking, which was completed successfully thanks to close collaboration between the OPAP and OpenBet teams. We firmly believe that the new retail betting platform will enable us to further enhance customers’ entertainment experience at OPAP stores.”
Jordan Levin, Group CEO of OpenBet, added: “We’re proud to have facilitated the next generation of OPAP’s retail betting offering, particularly so soon after the success of our online launch together. This is a significant milestone for both companies and strengthens our own position as a trusted provider to lotteries worldwide.”

Betsson: Four Years of Corporate Social Responsibility in Greece

To mark four years of operations in Greece, Betsson hosted a special event focused on its social impact, highlighting strategic partnerships and key initiatives supported through the Betsson Foundation.
Since entering the Greek market, Betsson has placed social contribution at the core of its local operations, consistently investing in initiatives across health, sport and education that benefit local communities.
During the event, several projects were presented, such as the series “Betsson in your Village,” presented by TV personality and Betsson ambassador Grigoris Arnaoutoglou. Through this initiative, defibrillators are donated to remote communities across Greece, enhancing emergency health infrastructure where it is needed most.
Key partnerships were also celebrated, reflecting Betsson’s belief in the power of sport as a platform for social good. Collaborations with AEK Betsson BC, Aris Midea Thessaloniki, OFI Crete F.C., the Hellenic Football Federation, and Alimos NAC Betsson were highlighted as part of the Group’s ongoing commitment to responsible engagement through sport.
Betsson’s broader social responsibility programme in Greece also includes partnerships with organisations such as Bloode, which promotes awareness and voluntary blood donation, and the Greek Association of Women Entrepreneurs (SEGE), which supports female entrepreneurship and economic empowerment.
Thanos Marinos, Managing Director of Betsson Greece, said: “Betsson has successfully delivered numerous meaningful initiatives, as highlighted in this event. I am particularly proud that many of these actions reflect our deep desire to be an active and positive force in society. This commitment is a fundamental pillar of our company, not only in Greece, but across all the markets in which we operate.
“From sponsoring Boca Juniors in Argentina, to Inter in Italy, and of course OFI in Crete – who reached the Greek Cup Final this year – our goal is to build relationships that extend beyond the pitch and truly connect with the communities around us.
“None of this would be possible without our partners who share our vision, and the Betsson employees whose passion, empathy, and dedication drive these efforts forward.”
At part of the event, honorary plaques were presented to partners and organisations in recognition of their contribution and contributions.
Looking ahead, Betsson also announced its CSR focus for 2025: raising awareness and promoting the prevention of bullying. Through targeted campaigns, Betsson aims to foster a culture of respect, inclusion and acceptance.
With consistency and purpose, Betsson continues to invest in initiatives that make a lasting and positive difference in society.
