Betting software group Kambi announced today that they're partnering with NorthStar gaming to provide services in Ontario, Canada when the new liberalized market launches on April 4th.
The agreement will see Kambi providing its sportsbetting platform to the operator, who'll then provide betting services to players. Lawmakers in Ontario authorized opening the province's gambling market late last year, and the market will launch in April, with licensed operators able to provide casino and sportsbetting services to those of age.
Regarding the deal Kambi CEO Kristian Nylen said, "Our partnership with NorthStar Gaming marks an important strategic milestone for Kambi as we expand into Canada's sports betting market.
"NorthStar Gaming is on a mission to create the most engaging online gaming and sports betting product in Canada. Thanks to our premium technology and service offering, NorthStar Gaming will be able to deliver a bespoke online sports betting experience to Canadian players and we are excited about the pending launch in Ontario and additional provinces."
NorthStar CEO Michael Moskowitz added: "Kambi's data-driven sportsbook and flexible technology, along with our proprietary UX approach, will give us access to the market's most innovative and differentiated sportsbook experience. With valued partners like Kambi, our best-in-class online casino and local sportsbook brand will provide consumers with an engaging and frictionless experience."
