Flutter Entertainment has confirmed that it would continue to work with OpenBet to maintain and scale up operations in Australia through the former’s Sportsbet brand. The new partnership extends through the end of 2025 and enjoys support from both companies.
As a result, Sportsbet will continue to use OpenBet’s industry-leading tech and services that guarantee a high level of sports betting entertainment for consumers in the country. Flutter Entertainment’s trade update revealed that the company did well in the third quarter, and not least through its Sportsbet brand.

Meanwhile, Sportsbet continues to deliver an outstanding experience and is a leading sports betting agency in the Australian online market. An estimated 18 Australian brands have gone online in a bid to leverage new verticals of betting as the pandemic has descended on the country as the rest of the world.

Commenting on this partnership extension, OpenBet CEO Jordan Levin argued that the company was happy to be joining Sportsbet for another four years and help provide bettors with a safe, responsible, and immersive experience:
“This renewed partnership with Flutter Entertainment once again demonstrates how OpenBet is at the heart of driving sports betting entertainment to the world’s biggest brands.”
