Kambi has signed the UK and Irish bookmaker to its full outsourced sportsbook at a time when partner migrations are shrinking its European business. The value, the term and the launch date are not disclosed, and QuinnBet's last platform move ended in a Gambling Commission finding.
Four provincial lottery corporations asked the Supreme Court of Canada on 7 October to overturn the ruling that would let Ontario's poker and fantasy players sit at the same tables as players abroad. The nine judges reserved judgment, and no date has been set for a decision.
Ontario will defend its plan to pool poker and fantasy players with other jurisdictions against four Crown lottery corporations, which say it is Ontario conducting gaming outside Ontario. Alberta, Flutter, GGPoker's parent and the Canadian Gaming Association will be heard as interveners. Every other province's monopoly turns on the answer.
With this deal, Kambi will be powering sports betting in eight of Canada's ten provinces. The PROLINE expansion is one of the most significant supplier wins in North American sports betting this year.
Ontario wants to open its poker and daily fantasy sports markets to players across borders. Four lottery corporations say that would break the law. Canada's Supreme Court will now decide who is right.
