Maltese online wagering technologies innovator Kambi Group has announced the inking of a deal that is to see it begin supplying its retail sportsbetting platform to Canada’s Casino Niagara and Fallsview Casino Resort properties.
The Valletta-headquartered firm used an official press release to declare that the fresh arrangement with casino operator Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment builds upon ‘the successful online partnership between the two companies’ that only began in May. The innovator also asserted that the two Ontario casinos will now begin integrating its full suite of ‘high-performance sportsbetting technology and services’ in order to become ‘exciting destinations for sports fans and bettors’.
Conspicuous concern:

The company detailed that its iGaming advances are moreover now utilized by over 40 iGaming operators in 17 North American jurisdictions including New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Proposed plan:
