The leading supplier of sports betting technology and solutions, powering gambling operators across the globe, Kambi, announced it signed an important agreement. Last week, the company revealed it joined forces with one of the largest Indian Nations in the United States, the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Under the terms of the freshly minted deal, Kambi agreed to deliver its sports betting services and technology, powering Choctaw Nation's gaming operations.

Thanks to the new collaboration, the operator will be able to leverage Kambi's market-leading sportsbook. Moreover, the deal will see Choctaw Nation benefit from the provider's quality solutions and technology, strengthening both its retail and online sports betting offering. Ultimately, the collaboration is expected to enhance the capabilities of the operator, paving the way for the growth of its market share as well.

Currently, the Choctaw Nation has a solid presence across southeastern Oklahoma. It operates a number of Choctaw Casinos and Resorts, offering supreme hospitality and gaming options. Moreover, Choctaw Nation is the official and exclusive casino and resort partner of Major League Baseball's World Series Champion, the Texas Rangers.

Heidi Grant, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma's Senior Executive Officer of Commerce, commented on the topic in a statement. "We are thrilled to have entered into a long-term agreement with Kambi," she revealed. Finally, Grant pointed out: "Adding Kambi’s best-in-class technology and custom player offerings to Choctaw Nation’s brand and market positioning, Choctaw Nation is poised to remain well positioned as the premier, full-service, vertically integrated gaming operator throughout our region."

Kristian Nylén, Kambi's Co-founder and CEO, also commented on the topic, adding that the collaboration represents a landmark deal for the company. Additionally, the executive spoke about the exponential potential of the agreement with the Choctaw Nation. Nylén added: "Not only does Choctaw Nation have fantastic, well-positioned gaming and entertainment facilities in Oklahoma, but its proven track record in developing successful digital businesses gives me every confidence that together we will create thrilling sports betting experiences for its players."

He said that the operator marks the perfect fit for Kambi, predicting that the activation will bring benefits for the duo. Finally, Nylén said: "Trust remains paramount through each tribal partnership, and we look forward to delivering a best-in-class sportsbook that generates long-term sustainable revenues for the Choctaw Nation."

Kambi anticipates expanding the collaboration with the Choctaw Nation to multiple US states. Still, this expansion remains subject to the relevant regulatory approvals. While the deal is undoubtedly going to strengthen Choctaw Nation's retail and online operations, it also reaffirms Kambi's position as a go-to supplier for the gambling sector.
