Playtech BGT Sports debuts QUANTUM digital betting platform with OPAP

Greece’s leading gaming company to leverage PBS’s digital platform
Playtech BGT Sports (PBS), the market-leading provider of omni-channel sports betting solutions, has announced the official roll-out of its latest state-of-the-art sports betting digital platform, Quantum, with OPAP, Greece’s leading gaming company.
OPAP will become the first operator to take advantage of PBS digital sportsbook offering as part of its QUANTUM roll-out. This new agreement follows the existing partnership between PBS and OPAP, following the integration of PBS retail sports betting platform in 2017 across OPAP’s retail network in Greece.
As the undisputed global industry leader for retail betting solutions with over 65,000 terminals live worldwide and 1.1 million bets processed daily, PBS’ QUANTUM enables a first of its kind omni-channel betting operation. It can serve customers’ every retail and online bet entry point simultaneously from one centralised source.
PBS already provides software and services across OPAP’s retail network with its full-size and compact SSBTs, as well as over the counter (OTC) points of sale, totalling more than 14,000 bet entry points.
The QUANTUM digital platform will allow OPAP to tap into new opportunities in the betting market and also provide the operator with a complete toolkit to view and manage its sports betting operations.
Set to be fully managed via the operator’s in-house traders, PBS has also developed a ‘trading cockpit’ for OPAP, ensuring that the operator is ready for 2020 with one of the most efficient sports betting operations available.
Commenting on the new partnership between PBS and OPAP, Playtech BGT Sports CEO Armin Sageder said:
“OPAP is one of the most renowned gaming companies internationally and we’re thrilled to be debuting our state-of-the-art multi-channel sportsbook with them.
“The result of over two years of development, we have no doubt that QUANTUM Digital will prove to be a growth driver for OPAP throughout 2020 and beyond. We look forward to a continued successful relationship together for many years to come”.
Damian Cope, CEO of OPAP added: “The introduction of the PBS platform, across all of our retail betting outlets in Greece, has been a critical element in the improvement and growth of OPAP’s retail sports betting performance. We are therefore pleased to be expanding our partnership with the adoption of the QUANTUM digital platform, which will provide OPAP with a number of exciting new opportunities. We look forward to continuing our productive relationship with PBS in the future.”

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.
