OpenBet Takes on New Ownership with Growth Ahead
In a major shake-up this week, the global powerhouse of betting and gaming entertainment, OpenBet, has been sold to OB Global Holdings in a management buyout. This strategic move is boosted by industry heavyweight, Ariel Emanuel, and key executives like OpenBet's CEO, Jordan Levin.
A New Journey Awaits: OpenBet's Global Expansion
As OpenBet sets sail with its new owners, the company remains focused on expansion in various markets worldwide. Recognized for its cutting-edge, top-notch platform and modular solutions, OpenBet powers over 200 operators across multiple jurisdictions. The company's unwavering commitment to security, reliability, and superior performance makes it a prime choice for operators in numerous regions.
It's worth noting that OpenBet has been aggressively expanding in Brazil. Following a successful launch with BandBet, the company has also formed partnerships with reputable operators in the area. This growth extends beyond Brazil, with OpenBet eyeing the lottery vertical as another promising opportunity. Over 20 of OpenBet's clients are members of the World Lottery Association (WLA).
Leveling up with Innovation: Jordan Levin Speaks Out
Post the management buyout, Jordan Levin will continue as OpenBet's CEO. Speaking about the latest development, Levin emphasized: "We're more prepared than ever to ignite market expansion and drive innovation, setting the stage for the future of betting and gaming entertainment." Levin further stated that the group was incredibly thrilled about OpenBet's future trajectory and confident in its sustained growth potential, thanks to its premium product offering, talented team, and buzzing market activity.
Rolling with the Changes: OpenBet's Growth Strategy
According to insider insights, OpenBet's growth strategy will be centered on several key elements:
- Innovative Products and Platform Enhancements: OpenBet is working diligently to boost its betting product range, with a focus on better parlay and same game parlay (SGP) products that promise higher margin growth[3].

- Diversity and Talent Development: OpenBet supports initiatives like SheCanCode Premium to empower women in technology roles. This strategic focus on fostering diversity and skill development within the workforce is vital to driving innovation and sustainable growth[4].
- Operational Resilience and Long-term Investment: After the buyout, OpenBet continues to prioritize operational excellence and reinvestment in core growth areas such as artificial intelligence, cloud, content, and security[2]. This commitment ensures that OpenBet stays at the forefront of betting and gaming entertainment by continuously optimizing its business model and product capabilities.
