William Hill has inked a deal with Bet Smart Media for the Canadian company to run the show on their new US-facing website. It will bring together Hills’ US businesses under one-roof and is likely to include some kind of mobile functionality as this is one of Bet Smart’s specialties. The site, according to eGR, will include live score content from Bet Smart and bringing American Wagering, Cal Neva and Brandywine under one online roof will be considerably easier to manage financially. Dan Shapiro the company’s US marketing director said that it “will help drive visitation to our race and sports books and streamline the mobile registration process. This site gives us – by far – most dynamic web presence of any U.S. sports book operator,” he added before calling the company “first class”.
