Bet365 plays it safe with Barbour EHS
As "the world's favourite online sports betting company", Bet365 is one of the fastest-growing online businesses around today.
Based in Stoke-on-Trent, they were founded in 2000 – and less than 20 years later they had revenues of nearly £3 billion. They now employ over 4,000 people with offices all over
the world.
With customers in numerous different countries, it is imperative that they keep on top of the various differing legislation. Each country has its own rules and regulations, and they are all updated and revised regularly. On top of that, a large international organisation such as this will regularly have to prove that they are compliant with all of this legislation. This can be a costly and time-consuming process, and one that they cannot afford to get wrong.
Bet365 realised that it was taking up too much of their time to sort through all of this legislation, particularly when it came to constantly changing legislation worldwide. They needed a cost-effective solution that would make it much quicker and easier to work through all of this.
The Barbour Experience
The Results
To compile legislation across a number of different countries is a huge job in itself, but to organise it in a way that is user friendly takes a great degree of skill. Barbour EHS has an international service that incorporates the legislation from 31 different countries, enabling UK businesses with international sites to stay compliant and up to date. Bet365 compiled all the legislation they needed in every country where they operate to remain compliant at each international site. This information is stored centrally in one place and kept up to date with notifications when any changes or updates are made.
Access to the Barbour EHS service very quickly had a positive impact. The staff at Bet365 were delighted with the speed and ease of use, as they found that they could bring up legislation from all corners of the globe in a matter of seconds. They also have confidence that the service is always completely up to date and fully functional.
The biggest impact that Barbour’s work has had on how Bet365 operates has been with regards to compliance. They
told us the new service “saves time conceiving templates for compliance activity. It is quick and easy to access the information which again saves time”.
In such a fast-paced industry, where even short delays can cost millions of pounds, the importance of speed and accuracy cannot be overstated. With Barbour’s new service, Bet365 know that they are keeping one step ahead.
