Kindred Group continues to march down the path of dominant New Jersey operations launch by forming a strategic partnership with Mazooma payment system that will bolster the company's transaction and baking verification.
The company's debut in one of USA's most thriving gaming markets is set to happen in the first quarter of 2019...
...Their Unibet online casino brand, reserved for New Jersey players exclusively and powered by SG Digital and a sportsbook by Kambi, will be operating under the license used by Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.
Nevada-based payment system, Mazooma, launched in 2009 and is an experienced partner of numerous gaming brands.
They have ongoing deals with MGM Resorts, GVC, Scientific Games and Gamesys. The banking tech company entered New Jersey for the first time in 2013 and introduced the eCheck Select in 2015.
It is precisely the eCheck Select that's the core of the Kindred business. The Group will be using this Mazooma feature's automated clearing house bank-verified service for the NJ Unibet site. eCheck Select will let Kindred receive payments from 100% of consumer bank accounts in the US and real-time transaction verification.
Manuel Stan, Kindred US senior vice president, has said that deal with Mazooma underlines commitment to giving their customers excellent iGaming experiences, while Jamie MacKay, CEO of Mazooma added:
"We're proud to be selected as the ACH technology partner for Kindred Group's US launch and ongoing operations. With eCheck Select to power positive user experiences, Mazooma continues to reimagine online payments with a focus on technological innovation."
For Kindred, 2018 was quite a ride:
In November, the company agreed a cooperation deal with popular software provider, Pragmatic Play, that will aid their expansion into regulated market.
Speaking of the deal, Cristiano Blanco of Kindred said that “Pragmatic’s products are a natural fit for us as we continue to offer players only the most engaging online casino games,” while Head of Casino, David Robertson, noted that Pragmatic's ability to put out quality content on a regular basis will make for a fruitful partnership.
But probably the most crucial venture of the year is the successful acquisition of new Swedish license for a market re-launch on January 1st. Kindred CEO has expressed the vitality of “competing on the same level with other operators” which is, in his mind crucial for a success.
