Tipico Sportsbook chooses Colorado for new technology hub
The sports betting operator expects to create more than 400 jobs over the next eight years.
US.- Tipico Sportsbook and the Colorado Office of Economic Development have announced that Tipico has chosen Colorado as the location for its new technology hub. The sportsbook expects to create 441 jobs over the next eight years.
The operator, which has a staff of 41 at its office in New Jersey, recently launched its sports betting app in Colorado.
Colorado governor Jarid Polis said: “Colorado voters voted to make Colorado one of the first states to legalise sports betting and use the revenue generated to protect our way of life, and precious water resources that support our outdoor recreation economy and agricultural community.”
Adrian Vella, Tipico US CEO, added: “We are thrilled to announce, in partnership with Governor Polis, our intention to establish a Tipico Sportsbook technology hub in Denver.
“From the world-class universities and collaborative technology community, down to the well-documented high quality of life in the state, every metric during our nationwide search pointed us right to Colorado.
“Now that football season is here and our sportsbook is live in the state, we’re confident that the deep pool of technology talent in Colorado will help us take the Tipico brand to the next level in the US.”
