Sportech’s Dutch trading arm sold to RBP Luxembourg

24 Apr 2018

Sportech Racing BV, Sportech's Dutch subsidiary is now part of RBP Luxembourg, following a successful bid of €3.25m. The well-known sports betting bookmaker's Dutch trading arm practically plays in a league of its own when it comes to horse-racing and tote betting in the Netherlands. It runs 47 betting stores all over the country, and its site runnerz.nl is one of the most popular among Dutch punters. With a newly acquired license, Sportech seems to have made quite a favorable negotiation as far as fees are concerned.

The company will receive a starting fee that amounts to €2.8m as soon as the deal is sealed, and another €450,000 in January 2019. CEO of Sportech Andrew Gaughan noted the interest of the company to expand on its US-based audience. He also announced his enthusiasm on Sportech's license extension that will help solidify the company's overall management realignment. Mr Gaughan mentioned that the collaboration with RBP will be a long-term one, through which Sportech will offer their tote services, and on the other hand provide RBP's French racing pool betting to their existing customers. The deal is yet to be finalized and approved by Luxembourg regulatory boards in December 2018.

Bookmakers rating

In order to correctly estimate a bookmakers rating, you have to include the value of the offered odds, the variety and speed of transactions as well as their customer support. The invaluable experience we have gained from cooperating with some of the most respected betting firms, has shown us that each customer deserves a strict but fair judgement on every bookmaker.

Odds comparison

The average payout for most major football leagues stands at 95%, but a curious player may often find profitable opportunities. Pinnacle offers quite a lot of them, with the average payout on some of the top leagues standing at a huge 98%, while 1xbet offers the highest spreads on every major league.

Mobile Betting

Mobile betting is spreading to such an extent that it will soon exceed the common way of wagering through a personal computer. It currently stands at a huge 30%, with the market's trend showing that it will overlap computers by 2018.

Bonus

Every bookmaker will offer bonuses and promotions, to new and existing members. They can range from a standard 100% sign up bonus to a cash back event from a major football event, such as a moneyback offer on the UEFA Champions League Final. You can find every single detail about any betting company's bonus and promotion on our website as well as compare bookmakers based on their first deposit bonus. Make sure to regularly check the bonus & promo sections to receive information concerning any new offers.

Trust

Although it might seem tempting to sign up to an unverified bookmaker that offers profitable odds, or even no commision, in most cases you will be caught in a scam and lose all your money. It is far prefferable to choose a well known and respected bookmaker, that has obtained a license under a strict regulatory body. This way, you can be easily assisted through a full customer support and rest assured that you can withdraw your money at any time.
