Kambi Group CEO Werner Becher was officially recommended for a gaming license by the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) on August 6 following approval of the sports betting services provider’s Manufacturer & Distributor and Information Services licenses in January 2025.
His application will now be heard before the Nevada Gaming Commission on August 21, as the CEO stated Kambi is currently in the “GLI testing phase” of conducting state operations.
“Nevada is not only known as the gold standard in the industry when it comes to licensing, but also there’s a lot of experience and knowledge here. It’s an interesting location from which to hire,” Becher said.
“It can be a little bit tough sometimes, but being licensed and having the gold standard on it is worth it.”
