Unibet Interactive, Kindred Group’s US arm is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a direct market access mobile sports betting permit in the state of Virginia that will see it go into the next phase in the United States.
By being granted this new permit, the group will have the opportunity to offer customers in the state of Virginia access to its flagship Unibet online sportsbook, in the very near future, that will give them a first-class online sportsbook experience.
Unibet has launched successfully in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana and with signed agreements for eight more states, Virginia will be a pivotal state in Unibet’s East Coast expansion.
Virginia is one of the largest states in the US market and it is anticipated that mobile sport betting will reach more than $370m in annual revenues at maturity.
Manuel Stan, Senior Vice President US Kinded Group, commented on being awarded the license by saying that they are excited to add Virginia to the growing list of states that Unibet and Kindred Group call home as they continue their expansion in the US market.
He went on to say that their aim is to go live shortly and they expect that the success that they have seen in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana will of course follow in Virginia.
Stan also said that they are very grateful to the Virginia Lottery for awarding them with one of the seven stand-alone mobile sports betting permits in a very competitive process. He added that they look forward to opening an office in Virginia, which will function as their third hub together with their offices in New York and New Jersey.
