Following the successful entry into New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana, Kindred secures further market access by signing agreements with Penn National Gaming which will give access to Ohio and Illinois.

The agreements span over a ten-year period.

We continue our journey in what we believe will become the largest gambling market in the world. Putting Illinois and Ohio on the list together with New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Indiana, shows our commitment to establishing Unibet in the US. Illinois is one of the largest US states and it will be the next State that we are targeting to launchâ, says Manuel Stan, SVP Kindred US.
Kindred Group will continue to invest in growing its US operations where market conditions support a sustainable business model. Kindred will leverage Pala Interactiveâs Online Gaming Platform and integrate with sports betting provider Kambi.
