US.- The sports betting supplier Elys Game Technology has announced that it has signed a deal that will allow it to operate a sportsbook at The Ugly Mug, a restaurant and bar in Washington DC. If licenced, it will be Elys’ eighth retail sportsbook in DC.

The Ugly Mug is located 10 blocks from Nationals Stadium and near Capitol Hill. The restaurant serves an American-style menu within a casual atmosphere.

Elys executive chairman Michele Ciavarella said: “We are delighted to partner with Gaynor Jablonski and his team to operate a sportsbook at The Ugly Mug restaurant and bar conveniently located only blocks from Nationals Stadium in Washington, DC.
