KAX Media America Gets Approval for Business in Pennsylvania and West Virginia

KAX Media America, the U.S. subsidiary of Gambling.com Group, has received approval from both the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board and the West Virginia Lottery to provide services to licensed gaming operators.

The approvals allow the Group to execute commercial agreements with online sports betting, online casino and online poker operators in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

The states are among the first movers to enable legal, regulated sports betting since the invalidation of the Professional Amateur and Professional Sports Protection Act (PASPA) in May of 2018. Although active in New Jersey since early 2017, Gambling.com announced earlier this year that it secured approval to create revenue sharing arrangements in New Jersey.

“We will seek the necessary licenses and approvals in all U.S. states that decide to properly regulate online gambling with a mobile offering and a competitive landscape. As the American market grows, it’s critical to have resources like Gambling.com and Bookies.com in the conversation to steer consumers toward the safe and regulated gaming environment. With a massive population of die-hard sports fans, Pennsylvania will surely become one of the largest sports betting markets in the U.S.,” Charles Gillespie, Chief Executive of Gambling.com Group said.
