OpenBet builds on Neccton purchase
OpenBet has been developing its protection and compliance offerings for some time now. Since it purchased Neccton, in June 2023, this has grown and expanded.
Neccton is focused on technology that focuses gambling responsibly, fights money laundering and detects fraud. The financial terms of the agreement aren’t available.
OpenBet has expanded its regulatory reach in all regions of the globe since the transaction. It has been able to collaborate with multiple brands in compliance matters.
In April Dr Michael Auer spoke with iGB on the importance of accurate data in enhancing player protection strategies. OpenBet has also been able to integrate a wide range of tools for player protection into their product suite, according to Auer.
OpenBet: What’s next?
Silver Lake, a technology-investment company, has agreed to buy OpenBet’s owner Endeavor. The deal, struck last month, is worth $13.00bn (PS10.41bn/EUR12.18bn).
Silver Lake, if the transaction is completed, will own 100% of Endeavor’s outstanding shares. The exception is rolled-in interests.
Total value of the deal is $25bn, combining the $13bn equity and the TKO total value.
Endeavor announced a review of its strategic plan in October. The purpose of the review was to determine the feasibility of taking Endeavor private. Silver Lake was interested in buying Endeavor at that time.
