An Amaya spokesman said that the company is now one of the authorised providers chosen by Loto-Québec through a detailed request for proposal process selected on the basis of its depth of online content and experience which has been enhanced by the acquisition of Chartwell Technology in July 2011.

David Baazov, president and chief executive of Amaya Gaming Group, said: "This is an important milestone for Amaya, as it is our first opportunity to provide online content to a North American gaming website. We are pleased to be expanding our footprint in the growing regulated online gaming space, as well as strengthening our relationship with Loto-Québec."
