Kambi Group inks deal with SJSC Latvijas Loto
Kambi Group has expanded its wings further by signing a long-term deal with SJSC Latvijas Loto (Latvian Loto). The deal will allow the company to provide its premium Sportsbook and services to Latvia’s national lottery operator.
The Latvian Government-owned Latvijas Loto will launch Kambi’s fully managed Sportsbook through its various digital channels. The Kambi Sportsbook will be integrated into Latvijas Loto’s player management platform, with a launch scheduled for later this year.
The deal marks Kambi’s first public lottery customer, with the agreement possible due to Kambi’s accreditation from both the European Lottery and World Lottery Associations.
Kambi’s ongoing commitment to corporate probity, as well as its expertise in risk management and trading of local sports, was key to winning the sought after contract.
Due to the H2 launch, the deal is expected to have minimal impact on Kambi’s 2018 revenues.
Kristian Nylén, Kambi Chief Executive Officer, said: “To meet the standards required by Latvijas Loto, Kambi had to demonstrate the highest levels of compliance and security, as well as showcase a market-leading sports betting product.”
“Having proven ourselves to be the secure and quality choice, we’re delighted Latvijas Loto has selected Kambi as its Sportsbook supplier and we look forward to building a strong and lasting partnership.”
Janis Pone, Latvijas Loto member of the board, commented: “With this deal, the Latvian national lottery company expands its product portfolio with sports betting games, offering quality products for playing in a legal and controlled way and also shifting profits to the public interest.”

The survey commissioned by public broadcaster LRT was carried out by the public opinion and market research company Baltijos tyrimai. It showed that 80% of respondents aged 18 years and over are in favour of a complete ban on gambling ads in Lithuania and just 15% would oppose the move.
It has transpired that approval of the gambling ad ban was greater among women than men – 86% against 72% respectively. The move has also wide support among residents aged over 50 (84%) and by people with greater than secondary education and with monthly household income of up to EUR 1100 (85%). Opponents of the ban often include men (21%), young people under 30 years of age (23%), rural residents (18%) and people with unfinished secondary education (30%). 1115 adult residents of Lithuania were polled on 15-25 March.
In mid-March, parliament began to consider amendments to the law on gambling, which, if adopted, would prohibit gambling advertisements as of 1 January 2025.
