The original agreement was first signed in 2016 and the extension will see SBTech continue to provide the lottery group with its sports betting services.

Andrew Cochrane, CCO at SBTech, said: “We are delighted to strengthen our relationship with one of Europe’s leading lottery groups. Sazka has achieved remarkable growth by embracing innovation, while also maintaining the highest standards of player safety and corporate and social responsibility.”

Robert Chvatal, CEO at Sazka, said: “SBTech’s complete sports betting solution has enabled us to expand rapidly over the past two years and we are happy to extend our partnership. We anticipate continued and sustained growth moving forward and are preparing to leverage the full power of the SBTech sportsbook in the months and years to come.”
