Kambi Group plc has put pen to paper on a deal with Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort to provide its retail and online sportsbook solutions to the Arkansas-based racecourse and casino. 

The deal ensures that Kambi will provide support to Oaklawn through its launch of its online sportsbook, Oaklawn Sports, using its digital betting solutions including ‘Bet Builder’. 

Kristian Nylén, Kambi Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, said: “We’re very excited to strengthen our relationship with Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort and imminently extend our partnership into the mobile space. 

“The combination of Kambi’s advanced technology and Oaklawn’s reputation as one of the premier Thoroughbred tracks and casinos in the US makes this an enticing sports betting proposition.”

Furthermore, Kambi will continue to deliver its retail sportsbook solution via Oaklawn, which it has done since 2021 via a partnership with Churchill Downs

It comes as Oaklawn seeks to strengthen its sports betting retail presence as it aims to ‘create an exciting experience for its patrons’ during the race schedule. 

Wayne Smith, General Manager of Oaklawn, stated: “Oaklawn has been one of the most trusted brands in Arkansas for more than 100 years and we are excited to now offer our loyal customers yet another great amenity with our much-anticipated mobile wagering platform. 

“We look forward to delivering the best online sports wagering experience in Arkansas.”
