Betfair migrates infrastructure to Ireland to improve efficiency

Betfair.com · Mar 9, 2011

Betfair, the online gambling company, has moved its technology operations to Ireland to improve efficiency and customer service levels.

The company's chief executive and former chief technology officer David Yu (pictured) - one of the most influential people in UK IT according to Computer Weekly's UKtech50 list last year - said the move improved Betfair's competitive position.

"As a global, technology-led betting operator, our new operational base in Ireland and the change to our licensing structure provides us with increased flexibility," said David Yu.

"It allows us to locate key technical equipment in more efficient locations, to serve our customers better and to compete on the same basis as the majority of operators in the UK online betting market," he added.
Yu said more IT improvements are planned at Betfair in 2011.

"We are rolling out a planned series of major improvements to our sports betting product which will help to drive revenue growth in Q4 and into FY12. These new products include our innovative 'cash out now' feature, each-way multiples for horse racing and a significant increase in the number of in-play events," he said.

How is the cost of living in Ireland?

Sugarbear · Mar 9, 2011

The Permanent Economic recovery of the World is happening before your very eyes.

Lets take a look into the gaming future and say that BetFair is trying to enter the US market in a Big Way and that this was a first big step. It wont be easy, but, if, you wanted to show US interest that you were not only serious about being a big contributing member of the World Wide Gaming Exchange World, but help lead the peremanent economic recovery of the Euro Zone, IRELAND IS EASILY IS THE PLACE TO START. :toast: Like Las Vegas itself, the bigger the boom, the bigger the bust, the bigger the reboom for one and all living in those places. Watch out for Las Vegas. Its not, HERE WE COME, WE ARE BACK!!!! We are just waiting for you to catch up to the times and arrive ahead of schedule like you knew all along and and cant imagine why no one else did. :think2:

When you move INFRASTRUCTURE the next thing to go is OPERATIONS. Period.
Why else would move infrastructure. Thats building things, providing jobs, building
the foundation of future economic recovery in the form of jobs ordinary evey day people can get. Add in the that the IRISH are already exchange savy people and you have a two prongend attack going before anyone is the wiser. NICE.

THIS IS BIG LADIES AND GENTLEMAN. The euro zone recovery is now on the way and great things are in store over the next 3 years for them, especially, IRELAND.

Cantor Gaming has done the same for NEVEDA. :103631605

The moved in during the crash, not after like most would, and have done a terriffic job for sure. I have not been to all thier places, but the one a half mile from me at the HARD ROCK is, in a phrase, OHHH LAA LAA NICE. If you can imagine becoming a MILLIONAIRE, while not trying to fall asleep at the same time, you would get it. COMFY for sure. More than a few are doing it vegas this very minute. And no one is the wiser. HA!!!
We are 12-18 months ahead of schedule.

So most wont wake up to that fact till July 2012. Tsk.

I was on some scouting trips and have not started my ROAD TO A BILLION DOLLARS ++++ ADVENTURES yet, but I will tonite at the Hard Rock, on the In Live Betting system. Races Only. This is going to be to easy.

I can see where this is going for IRELAND, because it is happening in Vegas now.

If you are a hobby economist like myself, this is great news. Congragulations Ireland, you are on your way back. @)

And that Ladies and Gentleman is a look at your world economic future. Someone call the Economist and let them know whats happening please. THANKS.
