Interview with Matt Stephenson, Managing Director, Betgenius

What is going on with Betgenius at the moment?

I mean, it’s been a frantic last year.  Obviously, the World Cup.  From the corporate perspective, we’ve been acquired by Apax Partners.  So, we’ve been part of the private equity gang and so, looking forward to increased development and accelerated growth.

What can you say about Betting on Sports 2018?

It’s been really busy, it’s been really busy.  We’ve got a good position this year.  Straight out of the lift, our stand is there, and we’ve been managing to catch up with all of our customers.  It’s been great. 

How important is this event for the industry?

I mean, it’s still quite nascent, isn’t it?  It’s still relatively new but it’s growing every year and it occupies a good time in the calendar, get everyone together.  It is of growing importance.
