Raketech, an iGaming performance marketing partner, has today revealed the acquisition of the P&P Vegas Group INC. With this acquisition, Raketech’s place in the US market is set to grow, with it now owning the betting tips platform Picksandparlays.net.

And with the talented and committed team that comes with the acquisition, I am very much looking forward to having them join forces with our central operations team to accelerate growth even further.” 

The acquisition also sees Raketech take over all assets from QM Media AB, including India’s leading cricket betting website; Onlinecricketbetting,net. Raketech has stated it believes this will increase its revenue by 5-10% by Q4 of 2021.
