OREGON Lottery Launches Scoreboard Sports Betting App
Mobile sports betting is now legal in Oregon, thanks to SBTech, a global leader in sports betting technology and solutions. SBTech, in partnership with the Oregon State Lottery, launched the first legal Oregon Sports Betting App.
Sports fans in Oregon can wager on a wide range of events through the new sports betting platform ‘Scoreboard’.
Oregon Sports Betting App Launch
Last year, the Super Court of the U.S. overturned a federal ban on sports betting. With this new launch, Oregon will join the other seven states to offer legal live sports betting app.
Sports fans may place bets via the Scoreboard app and Oregon Lottery Sports website, with in-person sports betting kiosks set to launch in 2020. The Oregon state lottery officials expect the first year’s numbers to reach $300m in wagers.
Barry Pack, Director of Oregon State Lottery, said: “This is an exciting time for the Oregon Lottery, as we leverage technology to enable Oregonians to legally and safely bet on their favorite sports. SBTech is an invaluable partner to us, and we look forward to using SBTech’s innovative products to provide an engaging, entertaining and seamless experience for our players.”
The app uses Geofencing technology, global positioning to determine the user’s location. In simple words, Oregonians can gamble on the Scoreboard app only if located within the state of Oregon. Not to mention, a player has to be 21 years or more to use the app.
With Oregon sports betting app, players get paid in real dollars. Players must establish a funding account in order to place a bet. The new Oregon sports betting app will be insured by the FDIC and won’t hold more than $250,000 per account. Certainly, SBTech has the right to review individual bets and report the fishy activities to lottery officials for further examination.
