Kambi Group plc awarded platform license partnering with Rush Street Interactive for New York State mobile sports betting

Kambi obtains a 10-year Mobile Sports Wagering Platform license in the Empire State, will support partner RSI launch in coming months
Kambi Group plc, the world’s trusted sports betting partner, has been awarded a coveted 10-year Mobile Sports Wagering Platform license in New York State, the fourth most populous state in the United States, with preparations for launch already underway.
The New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) confirmed the consortium led by Kambi as the primary applicant had been successful in its bid following a competitive Request for Applications process in which it achieved the highest score.
With a population of more than 20 million, New York is the most populous state to regulate online sports wagering to date and will enable Kambi to further extend its footprint in the growing US sports wagering market.
Kristian Nylén, Kambi Chief Executive Officer, said: “I’m proud Kambi has been selected as a recipient of a Mobile Sports Wagering Platform license in New York State. The confirmation from the NYSGC marks a major milestone in the evolution of the US sports betting market, of which Kambi has been at the forefront since taking the first legal online wager in 2018.
“Kambi has proven time and time again that we know what it takes to succeed in some of the world’s most competitive sports wagering markets. Therefore, we are confident our mobile sportsbook will be just as popular with New Yorkers as our on-property product, which has been live in the state for the past two years.”
Kambi will launch online in New York State in support of partner Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (NYSE: RSI) (“RSI”), which also operates an on-property sportsbook at Rivers Casino and Resort in Schenectady, New York, where it took the first legal on-property bet in the state in 2019.
Sarah Robertson, Kambi VP Sales, said: “To obtain one of the few licenses on offer in New York State is testament to Kambi’s exemplary track record in the US, as well the strength of our partner Rush Street Interactive.
“Preparations are already well advanced to ensure we are able to go live on day one of the market opening, as we have done so successfully on many occasions in the United States and across the rest of the world.”

Thunderkick commits to growth in Ontario with Betty partnership

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has agreed a deal with Ontario-based operator Betty to supply the rapidly growing online casino with a diverse collection of globally popular titles.
Betty, an official partner of sporting franchises Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, has risen to prominence since its 2022 establishment, when it was built following the consultation of 300 casino players to create the optimal iGaming environment.
Distinguishing itself from North American competitors by catering specifically to slot enthusiasts rather than sports bettors, the operator has curated a portfolio of 2,800 games, hand-picked to deliver customers maximum entertainment value.
Thunderkick’s content is the latest to be integrated into Betty’s online casino, and the agreement will see a selection of its most popular titles, including The Wildos 2, Midas Golden Touch 3, and Esqueleto Explosivo 3, made available to a greater number of Ontarian players.
Thunderkick marked its debut in the Canadian province in Q2 of 2024, and has since partnered with a network of leading operators to improve its market position. The collaboration with Betty will further amplify its visibility in a key jurisdiction as the provider looks to reinforce its reputation as a global slot developer.
Svante Sahlström, CCO at Thunderkick, said: “It’s our mission at Thunderkick to go deeper, not wider, in 2025. That means forging meaningful, lasting relationships in target markets as opposed to securing as many commercial deals as possible.
“Since entering Ontario over 12 months ago, we have worked tirelessly to enhance our presence in the province, and working with leading brands such as Betty allows us to bring our unique games to a deeper pool of Canadian players.”
Paraskeva Smirnova, Casino Operations Manager at Betty, added: “Betty’s USP has always been our drive to build a slot portfolio with the very best titles from the industry’s most creative suppliers.
“Thunderkick’s passion for slot development is there for all to see, and the introduction of its games to our casino further elevates the consumer experience.”
