Simon Trim, CEO of Sporting Group, said, “Svenska Spel are one of the most established names in lottery sports betting with a very strong customer base, and we are very proud to announce them as our latest lottery partner. With the help of our pricing and trading services they will be better able to compete with private operators in their liberalizing domestic market. Their ability to use our software to pool further resources into local sports will increase differentiation, drive acquisition and help maintain their position as a market leader.”

And continued: ”We look forward to forging a successful partnership with Svenska Spel and to expanding our services in the Nordic region.”
