Casino News: Blue Square Introduces Spreadbetting to Portfolio

Good news for lovers of online casino and spreadbetting. Blue Square Casino, owned by the Rank Group, has just introduced spreadbetting after completing a deal with Sports Index Group.  The Sports Index Group has a large portfolio of blue chip online bookmakers, and the new service will mean Blue Square can offer betting odds on 22 different sports from around the world.

Sportsbook Product Manager at Blue Square Casino, Vincent Leonard, said the move was to provide even more in-play betting options on a wider selection of sports and events.

“We chose to partner with Sporting Solutions to fill a gap in our in-play schedule because their trading models, technology and professionalism was a perfect complement to the service we already offer our customers both online and on our mobile products,”

Blue Square was launched in May 1999, and is now one of the biggest interactive betting services in the UK. Growing from a traditional bookie business, it now covers all aspects of the online gaming market. The product range is increasing all the time, but it currently includes slots, casino, and poker.

Now owned by Rank, which is one of the United Kingdom's leading entertainment and leisure companies, Blue Square used to be owned by Intercaptial Group until  January 2003. Serving a client base of over 750,000 players, Blue Square offers a £100 welcome bonus to new players. With free bets on England match days, and a trip to Las Vegas to be won, it’s easy to see how Blue Square remains one of the U.K.'s most popular casinos.
