Lead AQA Engineer

What is the project and why should you care?

A group of us sportsbook industry professionals got together in 1997 to create a product that could help local bookies. We created PayPerHead to take bookies to the next level of managing their books. We designed the first version of our bookie management software to organize and streamline an agent’s day-to-day functions highly.

Since that time, we’ve continued to introduce new features that help bookies grow their businesses and make more money. At the same time, we’ve greatly improved their players’ experiences in betting on sports and casinos.

We cover over 80 sports leagues to suit any player’s tastes, with in-game and props betting. We now have premium and 3D digital casino games, along with 2 live dealers to keep your players entertained at any time, day or night. You can keep making money even while you sleep.

PayPerHead has consistently led the way in creating fantastic software to help bookies improve and grow their businesses – for over 20 years.
