The licences granted include:

“Securing approval for our licences in Nevada is an important milestone for Kambi and a testament to our market-leading technology, regulatory expertise, and corporate integrity.”
He added:
“Nevada is widely known as the gold standard for betting and gaming regulation, insisting on a standard that few companies can meet. This approval reflects Kambi’s unwavering commitment to excellence. We would like to thank both the Commission and NGCB for their thorough review and approval of our applications.”
