B2B sportsbook supplier OpenBet has acquired betting technology and trading business Multi Builder ahead of OpenBet’s own acquisition by sport media conglomerate Endeavor Group.

The deal comes soon after OpenBet owner Scientific Games slashed the sale price of OpenBet by $400m (£328.4m/€392.83), in order to ensure the deal closes smoothly.

Multi Builder was founded by industry veterans Oliver Preston and Jonathan Smith, with the business’ trading technology operating under the brand “Sportsbook Models”. The goal will be for the services to be integrated into OpenBet’s existing product portfolio.

Smith also founded sportsbook training company “Sportsbook Training Services Limited” and will provide training services exclusively to OpenBet as part of the deal.

Commenting on the deal OpenBet chief product officer Nikos Konstakis emphasised the value to clients of deeper market understanding.

“This deal marks another significant milestone into the development of our pricing and trading services strategy, which continues to grow in importance as OpenBet drives operator value through deeper market offerings alongside higher flexibility.

Konstakis further argued that deal would help accelerate the business’s existing growth trajectory.

“Through the acquisitions of DonBest and SportCast in recent years, coupled with our internal roadmap, we saw our content and pricing revenue grow by over 100% in 2021,” he said. “The addition of Multi Builder Limited allows us to accelerate this growth trajectory, drive innovation and offer next level betting entertainment for our operators’ players.”

Preston added: “We are extremely proud to be part of OpenBet’s latest expansion strategy, further developing their market leading portfolio. OpenBet is the stand-out sports technology, services and content business.

“Their relentless focus on customer and player experience is second to none. Our offering will complement the company’s current products very effectively, enabling it to continue providing quality, scale and depth of systems across global markets. We’ve found a trusted partner in OpenBet and we can’t wait to get started.”
