Entain Transforms High-Street Bookmakers into Digital Hubs
Entain, formerly GVC Holdings and owner of partypoker, is revamping their high-street bookmakers into digital-only shops. The makeover will initially apply to properties in the UK and Italy across the Ladbrokes, Coral, and Eurobet brands. Entain expects to have converted 30 shops by the end of 2021, and is targeting more than 200 by the end of 2024.
Rob Wood, CFO and Deputy Chief Executive of Entain, said that the investment allows Entain to give a more immersive and joined up online omni-channel experience to their customers. Since the Covid-19 restrictions ended in the UK, 18 new digital hubs have been opened. The stores contain the latest gaming machines, and interactive displays, giving customers a more engaging and dynamic experience as well as more choice of interactive sports and gaming content.
In Italy, the plan looks to be slightly different, focussing more on the cafe culture common throughout the region. These shops will be just as much about meeting with friends as they are about betting.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
