Our offices are located in Louisville, so it is meaningful to be part of the sports betting infrastructure in our home state,” Fischer remarked.
Richard Ames, Chief Executive of SIS and President of SIS Content Services, reflected on the strategic expansion, highlighting the goal to grow esports content across the US. “To be able to expand our competitive gaming product into a third US state showcases how we are well-placed to deliver engaging wagering experiences to bettors,” Ames stated.
