Gala Coral has relaunched a revamped sports betting site designed by iGaming software supplier Playtech. Coral.co.uk is the third of Gala Coral’s brands to move onto Playtech’s platform following a deal that was signed between the two in the middle of last year – worth a reported €5million in pretax profit to Playtech. Coral’s new sports betting site will have all of Playtech’s products, use GTS to aggregate third party content and the company’s Mobenga subsidiary will power Coral’s mobile offering. Gala Coral will also use Playtech’s IMS as their one central management system and the Portal to control user interface and interaction with players in real time.
