Launch comes days after multi-year partnership announced.

Kambi is making waves: the Malta-based company has helped its Bahamian partners, Island Luck, launch a sportsbook in the West Indian nation. Kambi’s technology will enable its smooth functioning while Island Luck’s knowledge of the Bahamas market will ensure its popularity.  

This product announcement comes just days after the multi-year partnership between Kambi and Island Luck was announced. The deal’s aims are to integrate Kambi’s technological solutions with Island Luck’s market penetration. 

Currently, Island Luck is the largest gaming company in the country. Established in 2009, it offers online sports betting, lottery games, and casino products.  

The deal also signals Kambi’s continued expansion in the Western Hemisphere. In addition to the several US states in which it is active, Kambi recently signed deals in Argentina and Peru. 

On the agreement with Island Luck, Kambi’s CEO and Co-Founder, Kristian Nylén, commented: “We are delighted to have finalized this agreement with Island Luck, extending Kambi’s presence in the Americas and further strengthening our global network. 

“As a 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 and industry-leading sports betting experience to its players.” 

CEO of Island Luck, Sebas Bastian, struck a similar tone of optimism: “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. 

“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.”
