ZK International Group has announced that it has made an additional investment of $10M in Maximbet.com (Maximbet), increasing its ownership stake in the rapidly-growing sports betting and casino operator to 15.73%.

Maximbet is a privately-held multi-state and globally licensed sports betting and casino operator hyper-focused on capitalizing on the expansion of the recently legalized sports betting market in the US.

“The team at ZKIN continues to execute upon the Company’s strategy of sourcing, negotiating and investing in favorable positions in high-growth sectors that we believe will provide short to medium-term liquidity to ZKIN shareholders. ZKIN will continue to support its investee companies as they explore various exit strategies in the near future,” Jiancong Huang, Chairman of ZK International, said.
