The new contract came as a result of the recent law that has been voted by the Turkish Parliament that sets the framework for the operation of sports betting in Turkey. According to this law, it is expected that during this year a tender will be procured for the operation of sports betting in Turkey for the next period of up to 10 years.
Intralot CEO, Constantinos Antonopoulos, stated: “We are pleased to continue our successful cooperation with Spor Toto. Moreover, we are very proud that our investment in the Turkish market has yielded to the local community and will continue to add value to the Turkish state, to the football clubs and the agents. 2008 is expected to be a milestone year for the game “Iddaa”, since the presence of the Turkish national team in Euro 2008 will stimulate the interest of the Turkish players and further boost the sales of the game.”
