Newgioco Group, the sports betting and interactive gaming technology company providing fully integrated, omni-channel sports betting software solutions, has completed the formation of Elys Gameboard Technologies.
Elys is a wholly owned subsidiary for the purpose of expanding the company's sports betting operations throughout the US. The company is in the process of seeking its first sports betting license in Washington, DC and anticipates launching its new US sports betting platform with its first US operator client, Handle 19, in the historic Capitol Hill area by the third quarter of 2020.
The company is currently coding its leading-edge Elys betting platform for US certification.
Mike Ciavarella, Newgioco’s CEO, said: “As part of a long-term global expansion plan, Newgioco takes in a prudent and strategic approach for launching in new markets and we are executing our plan to enter into the US market in the same manner.
“Our 20-plus years of regulated sports betting experience has taught us that long-term success in the US market means thorough planning and preparation before taking steps to deploy a product that will work properly in this market. We are thrilled with the progress of the Elys US development program and look forward to launching our platform in the very near future.”
