Entain Marks Its First Day With Measures To Deliver On Its New Strategy

Leave a comment

– U.S. growth accelerates as BetMGM plans to double its footprint in three months

– Entain to seek licence in Canada and becomes the first global sports betting and gaming operator to gain a licence in Latin America

LONDON, Dec. 10, 2020 — The global sports betting and gaming group previously known as GVC Holdings plc, marked the first day of trading under its new name with a range of measures to deliver on the vision and direction recently outlined by its CEO Shay Segev. The new measures extend across all the countries in which it operates with brands including bwin, PartyPoker, Ladbrokes, Coral, FoxyBingo and BetMGM.

jwplayer.key=”3Fznr2BGJZtpwZmA+81lm048ks6+0NjLXyDdsO2YkfE=”
 

jwplayer(‘myplayer1’).setup({file: ‘https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/1372389/Entain.mp4?p=medium600’, image: ‘http://www.prnasia.com/video_capture/3218811_AE18811_1.jpg’, autostart:’false’, aspectratio: ’16:9′, stretching : ‘fill’, width: ‘600’, height: ‘338’});

Last month Entain announced a new strategy to deliver significant growth, driven by expansion in the U.S., growth across its core business, entry into new markets, and to new audiences. Entain, which has a very strong track record of 19 consecutive quarters of double-digit growth in its online business, also committed to lead responsible gaming with a new Sustainability Charter. Under this charter, the business pledged to focus only on regulated markets and use its proprietary technology to raise levels of player protection. 

As part of these plans to deliver growth and sustainability, Entain today confirmed strong momentum and market share gains in the U.S. for BetMGM, its joint venture with MGM Resorts. Between October and January BetMGM is adding five new states, doubling its population reach in three months to around 75 million across 12 states. Entain also disclosed that BetMGM’s most recent state launch in Tennessee has been its most successful go-live yet with revenues already ahead of those in more established states. Powered by Entain technology, BetMGM expects to be in over 20 states by the end of 2021.  

"We are firmly on track to take further leadership in the U.S. as well as in many other newly regulated markets that are now opening around the world." said Segev. "At the heart of our growth strategy is a determination to bring the best player experiences and protections to our industry as technology moves sport and interactive entertainment into a new era. In the U.S., we invested in building the right building blocks for the BetMGM platform to grow and become a long-term leader in the U.S., with superior technology and capabilities, and this is now paying off."

Entain also fleshed out its new Sustainability Charter, allocating money to new projects which will be delivered through its international Foundation around the world. It also gave further detail on its new Advanced Responsibility and Care (ARC) initiative, seeking to revolutionise player experiences and protection through world-leading research, data science and technology. Other new measures include:

Focus on new regulated markets: In line with its stated intention to focus on fully regulated markets, Entain today announced it has become the first global sports betting and gaming operator to gain a licence in Latin America and expects to go live in Colombia over the next month. Colombia is one of the first countries to issue licences in Latin America with others, such as Brazil preparing to follow. Elsewhere in the Americas, Canada is also moving ahead with regulation and Entain confirmed it will be applying for licencing in Canada.

  • Investing in people and communities: Entain has pledged to invest £100 million over five years in the Entain Foundation to fund responsible gaming initiatives and to support people and communities around the world where it operates. Today, it announced a series of international commitments: 

    UK: Entain and the three Trident Leagues (The Isthmian, Northern Premier and Southern Leagues) are to launch the Trident Community Foundation to help fund community-based projects. Grants will be open for the 228 football clubs that participate in the leagues.
    "Pitching In", Entain’s recently launched grassroots sport investment programme, is the founding partner of the Trident Community Foundation (TCF) and has donated £150,000 to establish the TCF fund, for distribution over the rest of the 2020/21 season.

    US: The Entain Foundation is rolling out an extensive state-by-state program with EPIC, a charitable organisation which works with former athletes and people who have overcome gambling addiction to help educate people on how to play safely.

    The U.S. project announced today with EPIC extends the program to a total of 15 Pro Sports teams and over 20 colleges across the country, including Harvard University, University of Oregon, and the Mid-American Conference. Entain and EPIC plan to work together to add additional professional sports leagues and colleges across the US during 2021. 

    Germany: The Entain Foundation will continue existing sports integrity projects in Germany and receive early funds to initiate further activities around responsible gaming.

    Australia:  The Foundation has announced initial new projects to advance responsible gaming with Relationships Australia, a community-based not for profit organisation which provides a range of counselling and support services to problem gamblers and their families. The new funding will be used to support a social media campaign to reach vulnerable audiences and to raise awareness of the signs of gambling addiction.

  • Advanced Responsibility and Care (ARC): Under this recently announced programme, Entain will combine its technology with research and insight from leading psychologists and Harvard to develop innovative experiences and safeguards for a new era in interactive sport and entertainment. To this end, Entain today announced that:

    Dr. Michael Auer,     a leading academic and member of the scientific community at the University of Hohenheim in Germany, specialising in behavioural psychology and addiction, will join Entain alongside Professor Mark Griffiths, Distinguished Professor of Behavioral Addiction and Psychology at Nottingham Trent University. They will evaluate and advise on improvements to Entain’s guidelines and processes in relation to responsible gaming.

Relativity Strengthens Investment in Australia’s e-Discovery and Compliance Market

Leave a comment

Relativity hires a Managing Director for APAC, rolls out a local product update and brings Justice for Change program to Australia

MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 19, 2020 — Relativity, a global legal and compliance technology company, announced at Legal Innovation and Tech Fest that it is strengthening its investment in the Australian market. Relativity is growing its presence in Australia given the high demand and engagement from the region.

The Relativity community in Australia has shown more engagement than ever over the past year, including a 93% increase in attendance at user groups and nearly 40% growth in overall certifications, which is twice the global average. Additionally, RelativityOne data in Australia has more than doubled in the last year, demonstrating an increased desire for an e-discovery SaaS product.

Adding to the Team in Melbourne
Building out the team in Australia is a key element in Relativity’s continued investment in the region to provide the best support possible for customers. Relativity has hired Georgia Foster, Managing Director, APAC, to lead the organisation’s efforts in the region. Foster has more than 17 years of experience leading lead sales, operations, product and marketing teams in APAC, the U.S. and Latin America. She previously held roles at LinkedIn and Uber, bringing their products and concepts to the local market. 

"I’m thrilled to join the Relativity team at a time when there’s so much growth and excitement around the product in Australia and the APAC market more broadly," said Foster. "As we continue to expand in the local market, it’s important to empower our Australian users to be successful. I look forward to working with our customers and team members to ensure we can deliver the best experience possible."

RelativityOne’s Latest Release Built with Australia in Mind
Delivering a solution that makes meeting processing and production requirements in Australia simpler is a key priority. To achieve this, Relativity introduced a preview program enabling some Australian customers to provide real-time feedback allowing for iteration on the functionality prior to its release. The latest release for RelativityOne users in Australia offers:

  • Level Numbering to eliminate the need for multiple processing platforms.
  • Improved PDF Rendering and Viewer so there’s no more importing/exporting.
  • Improved PDF Redaction Workflow to apply redactions from within RelativityOne.
  • Updated options in Relativity Desktop Client (RDC) to export rendered PDFs.

"Our goal is for e-discovery teams to have a true end-to-end e-discovery platform in RelativityOne," said Stuart Hall, Senior Manager, APAC Service Delivery at Relativity. "This is the first time that we collaborated so closely with Australian customers on a locally focused product upgrade and the approach certainly benefitted both Relativity and our customers."

Expansion of Justice for Change Program
Relativity’s new Justice for Change program is now available in Australia, the first region outside of the U.S. This global program leverages the unique capabilities of RelativityOne and its ecosystem to positively impact racial justice progress in our communities. Justice for Change first launched at Relativity Fest in September where Relativity pledged 100 terabytes of RelativityOne to remove barriers to access technology for organising, collecting and analysing data in matters related to racial injustice.

Any customers or organisations working to promote racial justice are eligible to apply for the program. And for those in Australia who are not familiar with our software, Relativity will pair them with a service provider or law firm from its network that can assist.

"We are thrilled to include the Australian community in our efforts to make inclusion, diversity and belonging an integral part of our culture," Foster added. "I look forward to seeing the difference we can make when our community comes together to create positive change."

Legal Innovation and Tech Fest attendees can learn more about Justice for Change and additional updates at Relativity’s virtual booth and the following sessions:

  • Technology as the Enabler to Make Our Lives Better on Thursday, 19 Nov. at 1:10 p.m. AEDT
