SIS assina acordo com Betfred para aprimorar a cobertura de corridas no Reino Unido

Sports Information Services (SIS), a leading multi-content provider of live betting services, has signed a new long-term agreement with Betfred to broadcast its in-house TV channel from Media City UK, Salford.

The deal means Betfred‘s production facility will undergo a major upgrade and all coverage will now be in HD. Therefore, the new agreement will result in more broadcast flexibility for Betfred and SIS will also provide a podcast studio.

Betfred now has seamless access to SIS’ extensive racing portfolio, with over 35,000 horse races from over 170 locations around the world.

In addition, the company’s customers will continue to enjoy the UK and Ireland’s premier greyhound racing, spanning over 24,000 events annually.

Mark Pearson, Head of Corporate Affairs and Communications at Betfred, said: “We value our long-term partnership with SIS and this new agreement will continue to help bring our brand to life and communicate our unique offerings to our customers.”

“Our racing proposition will be even better as we become the first bookmaker on the High Street to broadcast in full HD,” Pearson added.

Paul Witten, EMEA Manager at SIS, said: “We are happy to enhance our long-standing partnership with Betfred. This agreement ensures that Betfred’s retail customers in the UK will experience engaging, high-quality content in high definition from around the world.”
