A pioneer in the live sports lottery games category and creator of the first lottery-only aggregator for US markets, EQL Games will use the powerful Continent 8 Public Cloud to launch its content on the Michigan Lottery’s digital platform.

The lottery content supplier has also opted for Continent 8’s cutting-edge SIEM & SOC security solution, benefiting from a comprehensive offering that deploys a 24x7 highly trained team to investigate security alerts in a timely manner.

When selecting a technology partner, EQL Games was impressed by Continent 8’s commitment to the US market, where the global IT business is now live in 26 states and counting.

In addition, Continent 8’s security solutions, including its market-leading DDoS protection, which is tailored to the igaming and ilottery industry and comes as standard with Public Cloud, was a key factor.

Continent 8 has taken an ambitious first-to-market approach in North America. The company expanded its solutions in Michigan in September 2022, with the first regulated Public Cloud offering in the state, after being accredited by the Michigan Gaming Control Board.
