Altenar, the sportsbook software provider, is known for many things—whether that’s offering operators access to several data providers or the wide array of sports content, live and virtual, available to customers around the world. However, the team behind the blue light of the sportsbook provider has previously been lesser known for their own passion and participation in sports events outside the office.
It’s one thing to enjoy the thrill of the iGaming industry—from the vast array of expos in some of the world’s largest cities to innovative technologies that bridge the digital gap in many countries—but it’s another to have a love for running marathons.
Altenar’s Greece-based office recently ran a half marathon and thoroughly enjoyed every second of the race. It appears that participating in sports events is a core belief at Altenar—one that fosters a culture of putting mind and body first for its employees.
If you explore the depths of the internet—or even books on modern science, physical education, sports therapy, and physiotherapy—you’ll find that the benefits of sport, both in the workplace and on a personal level, are substantial. It offers a sense of achievement, access to fresh air, team building, camaraderie… the list goes on.
So, when sports betting software providers like Altenar take part in half marathons, football matches, and similar activities, it builds unmatched rapport among team members while also helping them feel fulfilled through physical activity.
More Than a Half Marathon
Altenar’s sports betting professionals gained a wealth of benefits from participating in the half marathon and other sporting events around the world. It seems to have fostered the often-coveted, sometimes-elusive work-life balance that many professionals strive for.
This may be one of the reasons—among many—that Altenar not only retains talent but has also seen a significant rise in new hires. The company understands the value of work-life balance, and a major component of that balance is fitness and health.
According to the Vantage Fit Blog, fitness and wellness not only support the corporate world but also encourage team-building, improve management skills and judgment, and enhance employee engagement.
The benefits of exercise—whether in the workplace or extended into home life—can help employees meet their fitness goals without needing to carve out extra time in already busy schedules.
Another important benefit of participating in sports is learning to accept failure in a low-pressure and supportive environment, a mindset that often translates to both personal and professional life.
At Altenar, there is a shared understanding that de-stressing from the hustle and bustle of work is just as important as completing tasks—and this is precisely why operators know they can expect top-tier service from the sportsbook software provider.
Altenar’s Greece-based team participated in the Athens Half Marathon event in 2022, which was held on Sunday, March 20. The event was organized by SEGAS (the Hellenic Athletics Federation) and the City of Athens/OPANDA, and Altenar was proud to take part!
Altenar looks forward to the next game of five-a-side—or perhaps another half marathon!
