Sparket has begun a new partnership deal with the 29 Palms of Mission Indians to license its Social Betwork software with the Tribe. Sparket’s new online gaming tool will be white-labeled and offer promotional, free-to-play opportunities to wager on live sports and events via a proprietary pool wagering system.
Currently, Sparket is running an online March Madness tournament contest with prizes available to be won at the Tortoise Rock and Spotlight 29 casinos in Southern California. Each casino plans to run promotions throughout the year using the same Sparket technology. Sparket received a Gaming Labs International Certification in Q4 2022, as a step toward its ability to offer real money wagering.
Spotlight 29 also supports local non-profit organisations and is now a founding partner of the 10,000-seat Acrisure Arena, which hosts ice hockey and other live entertainment.
29 Palms Band of Mission Indian Leadership said, "We're focused on providing a unique experience for our customers. Sparket's technology allows us to offer social promotions for major sporting events and beyond.
“We've already received great feedback from our customers after our initial 'Big Game' football event, and can't wait to do it again for the college basketball tourney!"
Sparket COO Evan Fisher said, "We're excited to partner with 29 Palms – they are a forward-thinking group focused on providing an engaging experience for their patrons.
“Our platform fits the mold perfectly to drive customer acquisition via free-to-play sports and live event promotions. On the heels of the failed California ballot propositions, we're seeing higher demand for our social products."
