The agreement will see the company provide its on-property and online sportsbook solution to the location.

The Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort located in Arkansas has entered into a multi-channel agreement with Kambi Group plc bringing the Kambi sports betting platform to the location.

Kambi will not only provide its on-property solution but its mobile sportsbook as well. Details of the deal state that Kambi will support Oaklawn in launching its online sportsbook operations under the brand "Oaklawn Sports."

Oaklawn will continue offering Kambi's retail sportsbook within its Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort. Since 2021, Kambi has provided Oaklawn with its retail sportsbook.

This recent deal will replace the previous one along with extending the relationship between the two companies. 

Kambi Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder Kristian Nylén commented: "We're very excited to strengthen our relationship with Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort and imminently extend our partnership into the mobile space.

"The combination of Kambi's advanced technology and Oaklawn's reputation as one of the premier thoroughbred tracks and casinos in the US makes this an enticing sports betting proposition."

Oaklawn also has plans to extend its offerings in terms of sports betting.

Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort General Manager Wayne Smith added: "Oaklawn has been one of the most trusted brands in Arkansas for more than 100 years and we are excited to now offer our loyal customers yet another great amenity with our much-anticipated mobile wagering platform.

"We look forward to delivering the best online sports wagering experience in Arkansas."

Kambi Group plc originally entered into an agreement with the Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort in 2021 by way of a partnership with operator Churchill Downs Incorporated.
