With the company’s T-Basket launch having already proven hugely popular, Twain Sport recently expanded its content provision with the launch of T-Kick, an exciting football-focused release which delivers 6,300 matches each month.

This new market entry will allow regional operators to meet the growing demand for high-frequency entertainment and fast-paced content, whilst giving Twain Sport a superior player reach and international presence.

The Ontario market continues to show great promise, expanding quickly to become one of the largest markets in North America and one in which Twain Sport aims to establish itself as a prominent supplier.

Commenting on Twain Sport’s landmark market entry, John-Paul Rowland, VP Europe, Asia & the Americas at BetGames, said: “We’re thrilled to have gained a supplier licence for the Ontario market. The region is growing quickly and showing a lot of potential, as we head into 2023, we feel we’ve arrived at the perfect time.

“The market entry allows us to meet our ambitious goals for the year and lets us establish Twain Sport as a major name within the live sports space. We can’t wait to get going and see what Ontario has in store for us.”
