Kambi Group enlarges sportsbetting partnership with pair of Ontario casinos
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.
