The agreement runs from 2024 to 2033, with Sportradar being appointed as part of a wider consortium in Taiwan.
The consortium secured the third Sports Lottery Licence from the Taiwan government’s Sports Administration in December 2022. It also includes ADATA Technology as licence holder, Taiwan Sports Lottery Company as the operator and China Trust Bank.
Sportradar will roll out its Orako end-to-end sportsbook and player account management solution across over 2,600 retail outlets in Taiwan. Orako will also be implemented across online and mobile channels as part of an omnichannel approach.
Orako also includes managed trading services, pre-match and live data and odds, audio-visual streaming and marketing services.
The wider agreement covers the delivery of required equipment across all retail stores. This includes customised lottery terminals and printers, as well as digital multimedia displays to provide live sports and betting information.
In addition, Sportradar has established a local team in Taipei to provide operational support.
