IGT President of Sports Betting Joe Asher echoed similar sentiments about the agreement. He took a moment to commend Betfred on its accomplishments.
Asher said: "I attended the recent Gaming Control Board hearing to see Fred Done in person. He is a legend in bookmaking and Betfred is one of the most legendary brands in the sports betting industry. It's an honor to work with Fred's team in the US as they introduce the Betfred product in Nevada.
