Kambi Beats Tough Competition
During a recent conference, Kambi CEO Kristian Nylén said that the company has worked hard to establish itself as a trusted brand and that the tribal gaming boards recognize their efforts. Soon after the conference news of Kambi securing a contract with the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians to manage their sportsbooks and mobile apps in the state surfaced.
Various other companies were in the running, but tribal leaders ultimately settled on Kambi. The selection process was described as competitive, and all the stakeholders had to bid for the company of their choosing.
