betinternet.com
betinternet.com plc was founded in May 1998 and commenced trading on the 5th October 1998 from its operational headquarters based in Douglas, on the Isle of Man. The business began initially as a telephone call centre but has since embraced the opportunities provided by the web and changed its entire focus from one of high risk low margin telephone wagering to a lower risk higher margin internet business.
Based and licensed on the Isle of Man in the British Isles, betinternet.com plc operates under some of the highest standards of government regulations and security in the world. Additional peace of mind is provided by the fact betinternet.com is a publicly listed company on the London Stock Market (AIM), and their accounts are audited by the leading firm of global accountants KPMG.
Since the launch in 1998 betinternet.com plc has become a significant and respected player in the internet fixed odds sports betting industry. This service is offered to customers in over 150 countries, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. The company's strategy remains focused on positioning betinternet.com plc as an innovator and leading provider of e-commerce leisure betting services.
betinternet.com plc was admitted to AIM in May 2000 raising £3m sterling. A further £4.5m sterling was raised to fund the technical infrastructure, the expansion of the workforce and marketing spend requirements to expand the brand globally.
The Island has a highly educated, skilled and multi lingual workforce, essential to a company such as betinternet.com plc. The Far East contributes the largest amount of online traffic, customers and revenue to betinternet.com. The website currently operates in 6 languages, and provides full 24/7 language support in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Thai, German and Italian. To date, all the language skills required by betinternet.com plc have been found on Island.
An integral part of betinternet.com’s continued development has been the launch of European Wagering Services (EWS) which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of betinternet.com plc. EWS provides a service of acceptance and retransmission of information assisting in the placement of wagers at certain racetracks through its pari-mutuel Amtote Spectrum Hub. EWS deploys the state-of-the-art AmTote Spectrum totalisator hub system, which is utilised by major United States race tracks.
