US.- The gambling industry is experiencing a major transformation in the US a year after PASPA’s was revoked. That’s why a New York casino wants to launch sports betting in order to stay updated with current trends.
The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe-operated Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort, announced the launch of its sportsbook. They announced a new partnership with “global iGaming leader, The Stars Group,” to enter the market.
“The alliance will support AMCR’s introduction of retail sports betting to the North Country Region. It’s a milestone for AMCR as New York State moves toward regulated sports wagering,” they revealed.
The Stars Group also gets an option to operate and brand real-money online sports betting, poker and casinos. It is a “first-skin basis,” which allows them to operate subject to license availability, state law and regulatory approvals.
“Our highly experienced team is thrilled to announce a state-of-the-art sports betting experience in partnership with The Stars Group,” Todd Papineau, general manager of Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort, said. “With online betting and gaming solutions and FOX Bet and PokerStars brands, we believe The Stars Group can become a leader in the US online betting and gaming industry. Our casino is excited to connect our sports enthusiasts with the next generation of interactive gaming.”
“We are excited to announce this agreement with the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort,” Robin Chhabra, CEO of FOX Bet, said. “It further strengthens our market access as we build our business into leaders in the emerging US market.”
