The CEO of i3 Interactive, Chris Neville was asked about the Indian market and was quoted saying:
“…the early numbers and results speak for themselves and I’m extremely excited with our management team’s momentum in working to finalize the acquisition of FTR Poker and to solidify the Company’s footing in the Indian market. Our team identified India as a key target market early in our growth strategy and we expect continued success for the Blitzpoker brand for the foreseeable future. We have a goal of being the number 1 poker site in India in the next 12 months.”
With solid plans in place for upcoming TV interviews, newspaper and magazine allocations, Blitzpoker anticipates continued success into the later part of 2020. The Company is excited for its planned product innovations and offerings of invaluable and unique experiences.
