Eventful era:

The firm also disclosed that its first-quarter cashflow had improved by an inspiring 300% year-on-year to €16.5 million ($19.9 million) as it experienced double-digit growth across all of its key performance indicators owing to ‘a busy sporting calendar’ that had included Super Bowl LV and the ‘March Madness’ collegiate basketball tournament.
Kristian Nylen serves as the Chief Executive Officer for Kambi Group and he used the press release to declare that this surge had ‘more than compensated’ for its platform’s loss in January of ‘a large proportion of business’ from 888 Holdings.

“Regulation in the United States continues to move at pace with progress seen in a variety of states in recent weeks and months including most notably in New York where the state has committed to adding online sportsbetting to its existing retail market. As the first company to process a regulated sports bet in New York, we’re of course monitoring the developing situation there closely and look forward to the publication of further details concerning the licensing framework in due course.”
