Kambi deal with LeoVegas to provide sports betting technology

ne casino operator LeoVegas is expanding beyond its traditional gaming offerings into sports betting, after announcing a deal with sports book technology provider Kambi Group.

Kambi announced it had signed a deal to supply sports book technology to the Malta-based operator last week. The move to add sports betting services is intended to strengthen LeoVegas’ global presence; users will now be able to move quickly and easily between casino and sport facilities, which it is hoped will attract a wider base of potential customers.

“We are excited by this partnership and look forward to delivering a game changing mobile sports betting experience.”

Kristian Nylén, CEO of Kambi supported the company’s deal, saying: “Our mutual interest in driving innovation in mobile sports betting forms a powerful foundation for this partnership.

“We look forward to supporting LeoVegas in delivering on its ambition to create a game changing mobile sports betting experience.”

Kambi provides sports betting for 65 different sports, with services translated to more than 20 languages.
