Partnership aims to improve sports betting platform.

Global sports betting supplier Kambi Group plc has today announced a partnership with the Bahamas’ largest gaming operator, Island Luck. 

The agreement will see Island Luck utilize Kambi’s sports betting platform and technology to upgrade its current offering.  

This news comes as Kambi continues to expand throughout the Americas. The company recently agreed deals in Argentina and Peru to complement its platform in the United States.  

"Our sports product is a significant, strategic and important vertical for our group and after considerable research, it was evident that a strategic partnership with Kambi, a global leader in the sportsbook space, was the right decision for us,” said Sebas Bastian, CEO, Island Luck. "We are extremely happy to partner with Kambi to provide our customers with a superior sports betting experience and to provide us with cutting-edge risk management tools." 

Island Luck was established in 2009 and is licensed by the Gaming Board for The Bahamas. The company’s offering consists of sports betting, land-based casinos and lotteries throughout the islands. 

"We are delighted to have finalised this agreement with Island Luck, extending Kambi's presence in the Americas and further strengthening our global network,” commented Kristian Nylén, CEO and co-founder of Kambi. "As a local market leader in The Bahamas, Island Luck is a perfect fit for Kambi and we look forward to working closely with their team to deliver an industry-leading sports betting experience to its players." 

Kambi Group’s sports betting platform is currently utilized by over 30 companies, including Churchill Downs, LeoVegas, Penn National Gaming and Rush Street Interactive. The company is headquartered in Malta but also has offices in Australia, the Philippines, Romania, Sweden, the UK and the United States.
