About Funteron

Funteron is a sports technology and digital marketing company focused on building innovative products that connect sports fans with leading betting operators through engaging digital experiences.

Our flagship product, ITV OddsFinder, is the official betting comparison platform integrated across ITV Racing. Powered by Funteron, it enables racing fans to compare live odds from more than 40 licensed betting operators, helping them find the best available prices before placing a bet.

From day one, you’ll be trusted with meaningful responsibility, contributing ideas, owning projects and delivering work that has a measurable impact on the business.
