Sports betting provider Kambi Group plc has further entrenched itself in New York by landing a deal with Seneca Gaming Corp. to run the sportsbooks for the tribe\u2019s three casinos in the Empire State.<\/p>\n

The deal, announced last week, still requires regulatory approval. It will allow the European-based company to manage the brick-and-mortar sportsbooks at the Seneca Niagara Resort and Casino in Niagara Falls, Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino in Buffalo, and Seneca Alleghany Resort and Casino in Salamanca.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Kambi did not disclose the length of the arrangement, calling it only a \u201clong-term partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

The plan is for sportsbooks to be operational at Seneca Gaming\u2019s casinos by the end of the year. Max Meltzer, Kambi\u2019s chief commercial officer, told Casino.org<\/em> he could not be more specific yet as far as a target date.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cA central factor behind Seneca\u2019s decision to partner with us was our clear reputation for high-quality delivery in the US as states continue open up,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have achieved an impressive series of market firsts with our partners in the US, including in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kambi also serves as the processor for Rush Street Gaming, and processed New York\u2019s first sports bet at the Rivers Casino and Resort in Schenectady earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Besides Rivers, New York\u2019s three other state-licensed upstate casinos, Tioga Downs, del Lago Resort, and Resorts World Catskills, also offer retail sports betting. In addition, the Oneida Nation\u2019s casinos in the state offer sports betting.<\/p>\n

Another tribal casino in the state, Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort, plans to launch a retail sportsbook in the near future.<\/p>\n

Online Included… When Available<\/h2>\n

The deal also includes statewide mobile betting once that\u2019s legal in New York. Efforts in the state legislature have failed to made headway on that matter, with Gov. Andrew Cuomo pushing for voters to decide the issue by referendum.<\/p>\n

But Meltzer believes it\u2019s simply a matter of time before that happens, and that Kambi will be ready to go when it does.<\/p>\n

The interest and engagement are clearly there, especially with so many people from New York currently travelling over the New Jersey border to place their bets,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With Seneca Gaming<\/a>, Kambi now has relationships with three of New York’s seven sports betting operators, both tribal and state-licensed. Besides Rivers, Kambi is also the service provider for DraftKings, which operates del Lago\u2019s sportsbook.<\/p>\n

However, Meltzer doesn\u2019t believe there\u2019s a certain number of relationships Kambi needs to have in place in order to compete for customers once New York opens the door to online apps.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is crucial is having the right partners and the scalability to deliver,\u201d he added. \u201cWe are confident we have that in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tribal Partners<\/h2>\n

The deal with Seneca is the second major tribal deal Kambi has reached this year. It also established a partnership with Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment to offer both online and retail sportsbook operations for the Mohegan Sun<\/a> casino in Connecticut.<\/p>\n

Kambi is also a partner in the Unibet sportsbook at the Mohegan Sun Pocono casino in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a partner operators can trust to deliver, and we look forward to building on this progress in the coming months,\u201d Meltzer said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
