Evolution Gaming Signs Live Deal With DraftKings

iGaming industry’s top provider of casino software solutions, Evolution Gaming, has penned a multi-year agreement regarding the delivery of live dealer games to operator, DraftKings’, New Jersey operations.

A special suite of live casino games will be supplied from Evolution’s brand-new US live studio in Atlantic City to DraftKings who began offering their own sportsbook in the Eastern state in August last year.

They have thus become the first operator in the Garden State to offer legal online and mobile sports betting that allows punters to place wagers on key international as well as domestic US sporting events and games.

The company also offers fantasy sports contests (across eleven professional sports leagues) on a daily basis in eight countries, including the US, UK and Canada.

The Next Step Forward

Evolution’s Chief Business Officer for American and land-based operations, James Stern, talks irably about their new partners’ achievements and future aspirations, that his company now helps become reality:

“DraftKings is a young and dynamic company that has blazed a trail in recent years with its best-in-class technology and extensive knowledge of sports. DraftKings was first to market in New Jersey with online sports betting, just a couple of months after filing for its licence with the New Jersey regulators. We very much look forward to working with DraftKings on this project.”

A similar cooperation between Evolution Gaming and Unibet, also on American soil, was struck in December when the two parties signed a live casino distribution deal.

Back on that very occasion…

…Stern has stated regarding the said live studio that plans for its expansion are in progress, since the company has been very successful with its output from the day the studio was launched.

“With additional partners still to go live and the wide range of games Evolution has to offer, the coming 12 months will undoubtedly highlight the company’s ability to provide the best player experience,” he concluded.

Conquering the Market, One Segment at a Time:

This service has ed the mobile app sportsbook that was launched to a frenzy of interest by the population of the state whose iGaming and land-based financial success was absolutely impeccable in 2018.
