IGT’s PlaySports Approval Points to Expansion

International Game Technology PLC announced that it is positioned to expand its sports betting enterprise in Nevada with the recent Nevada regulatory approval for its PlaySports platform for retail and online sports betting. With this approval, IGT’s next-generation sports betting technology stack is approved for deployment throughout the state, enabling more casino operators and their players to benefit from what the company says is the most widely used sports betting platform in the U.S.

“Achieving Nevada regulatory approval for our PlaySports technology enables IGT to extend our sports betting expertise to our many long-time customers throughout the state, and notably differentiates IGT from many other B2B sports betting platform providers,” said Enrico Drago, IGT PlayDigital senior vice president. “IGT’s PlaySports platform is equipped with a high-performance betting engine that delivers an exceptional player experience, an integrated player account management module that enables operators to drive player acquisition and retention through bespoke offers and promotions, and a modular design that enables our PlaySports customers to scale their offering with new market opportunities.”

IGT initiated the required Nevada field trial process for its PlaySports technology at Boyd Gaming properties in August, and is currently powering Boyd Gaming’s entire sports betting enterprise in the state.

IGT PlaySports is deployed in 16 U.S. states.
