Esports Entertainment Group today announced that it has entered into a multi-year partnership with Twin River Worldwide Holdings to launch Esports’ mobile sports-betting product in New Jersey, pending Twin River obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals to complete its acquisition of Bally’s Atlantic City. Upon the acquisition, Twin River will acquire the rights to three online sports-betting skins in New Jersey, leading to the creation of this partnership.

“When we completed our IPO on NASDAQ earlier this year, it was with the intention of expanding our operations in the U.S.,” said Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports Entertainment Group. “With this partnership, we’re delivering on that goal.”

“Bringing this new offering to the Atlantic City market with a prominent gaming partner is one of the many exciting changes we have in store for Atlantic City in the months to come,” said George Papanier, president and CEO of Twin River Worldwide Holdings.
