Directors dealings: Sportech director acquires 125,000 shares in bookmaker
Richard Cooper, a non-executive director of betting technology business Sportech, acquired 125,000 ordinary shares in the London-listed firm on Friday, just twenty four hours after the bookmaker inked a US deal with sports data provider Sportradar.
Cooper, who was appointed to Sportech's board back in April 2017, purchased the shares at an average price of 83.50p each for a total of £104,375.
Sportech announced its commercial betting deal with Sportradar on Thursday.
Following the recent US Supreme Court decision which paved the way for states to adopt legislation to permit and regulate sports betting, Sportech's agreement with Sportradar will allow the firm to offer Sportradar's sports betting related product portfolio, including pre-match and in-play betting services, content, trading tools, and risk management services, to its licensed operator.
As of 1440 BST, Sportech shares had picked up 1.83% to 83.50p.
